Gino Magnarelli greeted us in Italian and offered us a cup of espresso, then surveyed our dark hair. We asked for a combination of natural- looking highlights and lowlights, and he agreed , suggesting very blonde, thick streaks around our face as well. At first, we wanted to bolt, but Magnarelli brought us around to the idea. He parted our hair into tiny sections and quickly applied the colors. We loved our lowlights but the punk-rock highlights were dramatic enough that it took a few days for them to grow on us (we love them now). Press August 2007
