THE HAIR APPARENT
GUIDO
As a child growing up in the English resort of Bournemouth, Guido Palau was fascinated by the big New Romantic coifs worn by the hordes of teenagers down from London. Although his hairdressing debut at a Vidal Sassoon salon in London was short-lived—“The big boss said, ‘Look, we don’t really think hairdressing is for you’ ”—Guido is now feted as the world’s most influential hair stylist and an indispensable part of the theater of fashion, including runway shows for Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, and Calvin Klein.
