...Julia to Sharon in 1993. Fifteen years later, the two are about to open their first joint salon. A vast departure from Hershberger's Los Angeles and downtown New York City salons, the new space, located in a limestone townhouse on N.Y.C.'s Upper East Side, blends with the neighborhood's refined atmosphere. "We wanted to create a real jewel box," says Dorram. The pair worked with interior designer Daniel Romualdez, a society favorite, to create a Parisian-atelier-like environment, inspired by the colors of an Hermčs handbag...

Women were required to wear the form-obscuring black cloaks known as abayas. Today, in a sign of the freedom felt in the neighborhood, a storefront displays sexy women's underwear in its windows, just a stone's throw from the great shrine of Imam Kadhim. Its owner told me business was good...
