Louis Licari, New York City’s famed colorist, and Rodney Cutler, one of fashion’s leading hairstylists, have announced they are joining forces to open Licari Cutler Salon on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The merging of these two beauty industry icons is intended to create a one stop destination that offers the high-quality color services found at Louis Licari Salon and the innovative trends achieved at Cutler salons.
"I’ve been a long admirer of Rodney’s work," says Licari. "He has been at the forefront of fashion’s cutting-edge trends for many years, and his passion and dedication to the profession are unmatched by anyone else."

"Our Cutler Midtown location is thrilled to be joining the Licari family," says Cutler. "We’ll be able to offer clients the best expertise and services in styling and color, all in one location. Louis has been a respected icon in this industry and a staple in New York City for decades. I’m excited to be working with him on this new venture."
