Chanel does it, and so does Jean Paul Gaultier. And now Mary Brunetti, award-winning celebrity hairstylist and Intercoiffure America/Canada (ICA) member, has taken that idea and created her own interpretation of “Ready to Wear” hair in her new collection of the same name.

Shot by photographer Babak for Intercoiffure America/Canada, the collection challenges the zeitgeist of contemporary haute hair styling. “Ready To Wear” was California inspired, wanting to create a more relaxed Hollywood glamour, straight through to Malibu beachy waves. “This collection is for real women...our salon clients that want their hair current yet appropriate, hair that is free to move because that’s what makes hair sexy,” says Brunetti.

“The challenge for the hairstylist on a daily basis is not necessarily to break new ground with innovative edgy techniques, but rather to create a flattering yet fashionable look for our clients, as hair follows fashion, which is the essence of cutting edge.”

Brunetti’s “Ready to Wear” Collection presents salon-ready styles that work for different lengths and textures. “I want women to look at this collection and say ‘This is exactly how I want my hair,’” says Brunetti. “I want my clients to look and feel pretty - and that’s why I became a hairstylist”.

"Intercoiffure is honored to have had the opportunity to commission this shoot from Mary," states Frank Gambuzza, Intercoiffure America/Canada President. “We chose Mary for this project because of her diversity and ability to hit any genre or category of hair. When we decided we wanted something that was consumer-oriented, she was the obvious choice. Her work with Sally Hershberger as well as in her own salon places her in a position to see celebrities as well as everyday clients that all have the goal of maintaining in-season and current styles. Mary is what Intercoiffure represents.”
