Hair Takes a Front-Row Seat: L'Oréal Professionnel Sets Its Sights on Fashion

Claire Le Bleis, who leads L'Oréal Professionnel worldwide, has made fashion one of the salon-hair label's main goals, alongside several other plans to change how the company works. For an archive that tracks the gown, the designer and the year, the move is good news: the haircut and the blowout count as part of the look, not something added at the end. The details are still to come. From Palm Beach salons to Beverly Hills chairs, readers who know that a great dress needs great hair will want to see where she takes it.
