...welcoming mix of pizazz and bohemian comfort. White walls are warmed with pink paint on the first two floors, and muted oak floorboards run throughout. There's also a dramatic, entrance-making spiral staircase. Each floor features Robin's quirky flea-market finds, including a Turkish glass chandelier, armchairs covered in Moroccan brocade, and 1950s pottery. Appropriately, Ciocco calls the new salon the "boudoir of Paris." She says she agreed to the venture out of her infinite respect for Robin's research?adding that his products offer "a complex alchemy" for being effective and being nutritious to the scalp...
