MODERN SALON-"Best Kids Cut Ever"
Even in the best of circumstance, cutting the hair of a distracted ten year old can be a test of one's abilities. Add to that sniffles, a younger brother, an editor with a microphone and being followed by a recording device - it can be close to impossible.
For most hairdressers.
Enter Xavier Merat, owner of Salon Xavier, Sag Harbor, New York. Known for his impressive finishes on adults, Merat aprreciates the opportunity to work on the children of his high profile Hamptons clientele. MODERN was there when an entire family stopped in for an end of summer upgrade, and asked all parties involved if we could capture a classic boys cut on the oldest son. It was BEYOND impressive watching Merat tackle the challenge of working on Malcolm while brother Brandon made himself part of the experience. Merat points out that a kids cut should take 20 minutes or less and that the salon pro should check in fequently with the young client to make sure "all is well" while noting facial expressions and body language.
Here Merat demos the PERFECT kids cut while fielding questions and multiple diversions from left, right and center:

#23-THE HAMPTONS, NEW YORK
The Hamptons have a reputation for attracting the gilded crowd, from the days of Gatsby to modern times. Reach for the green light at Topping Rose House, where the house and grounds tinkle of old money and crystal pedigrees. Treat yourself to lunch at Tutto il Giorno, and order a glass of white to match your local fish baked in parchment paper with roasted tomato vinaigrette. Get a makeover to rival Jimmy Gatz at SALON XAVIER COIFFURE & DAY SPA and then show off the new you at Southampton Social Club. Rent a cabana for early evening drinks, then savor grilled New Zealand lamb chops with Dijon au jus and crispy leeks. You'll be happy to return to a comfortable bed, where you'll sleep as though you danced the night away.

HAIR “I used to wash and dry my hair every day, but now it easier to get it blown
out by Steven Rie, at Samuel Shriqui Salon in New York (he also cuts my hair) or
Xavier, at Salon Xavier in the Hamptons. My favorite shampoo is Kerastase Bain
Oleo-Relax ($39), but I don’t use styling products because they weigh my hair
down. I started going gray at 23, so I colored my hair every two weeks for many
years, and one day I said, ”Enough. ‘It was difficult letting it grow out, but for the
past 18 years I’ve been natural-It’s easy, no fuss. “

Q & A with Laura Pelliccio, Spa Expert:
"I have also visited Salon Xavier in Sag Harbor and had the most magical experience with treatments for my hair and nails. Xavier provides an upbeat atmosphere being it is a bust community and set right behind a marina full of snazzy yachts. I can literally walk out of Salon Xavier and go right into a restaurant or party. It's just a cool place and I like people watching the interesting guest who are being serviced by Xavier."
