John Sahag 1953-2005

John was famous for his forward thinking cuts to Demi Moore and Kristen Dunst. But his long career began at age 8,with Sagah sweeping floors at a salon in his native Lebanon. It ended with his death from cancer at age 52. While working with photograghers like Richard Avedon and Helmut Newton and stars like Gwyneth Paltrow to Jon Bon Jovi, Sahag became well-known for his method of cutting hair cry. "He looked like a rock star and had the manners of a count," says Anne Langerfeld, manager of the John Sahag Workshop.

I had the pleasure of working with John from 1985-1996 as a Senior Stylist on Madison Avenue in New York City. I was Director of Education at the John Sagah Workshop and currently at Schwartz Salon I teach junior stylists the art of the dry cut.

Classes are open to any hairstylists or assistants who would like to learn more about the techniques of dry cutting.
