Beauty and Fashion Director, MODERN SALON
MODERN's Beauty & Fashion Director is the NYC based Editor and Art Director for Modern Salon Magazine and modernsalon.com. Maggie joined MODERN in the 1980's and has spent more than 3 decades covering the professional beauty industry around the world. In addition to writing articles, Maggie travels globally as a journalist to report on the latest trends, products and techniques in the professional beauty world. Known for a keen eye, Maggie has judged hundreds of national competitions including NAHA, and international competitions such as Wella International Trend Vision and Goldwell Color Zoom among others. As an Art Director, Maggie is responsible for hundreds of magazine covers and thousands of inside pages and features for Modern Salon and her sister publications. Among her many professional passions is ARTIST SESSION, the 2-day workshop she founded which offers direction and inspiration to hairdressers interested in learning how to do successful photoshoots. A graduate of Boston College, Maggie is the author of Great Looks (Doubleday) and, in the few minutes of spare time she has left, is working on a book for children that has NOTHING to do with beauty.

Leonel Rodriguez, Farouk artist, was a key player in the Miss USA pageant held this past Sunday. He was the stylist in charge of Alyssa Campanella, Miss California who went on to be crowned Miss USA 2011. This was a particularly interesting winner because she is one of the first contestants to give credit to her HAIR for her success! A natural blonde, Alyssa mentioned she went red for a role, felt it fit her personality, and kept the vibrant shade. While it totally suits her skin tone as well, we learned that much of the length and volume can be credited to extensions! We asked Leonel some questions to get to the bottom of Miss USA's coif and the drama doing pageant hair.
