I was lucky enough to spend nearly two hours with one of the world’s most famous hairstylists, Rolf Lohse. I admit it was not easy finding the time to interview him as he has an entire company which most people are not aware of. Rolf’s Salon and Spa is actually a global company with multiple locations both here, in the United States, and abroad.
I loved Rolf’s European attitude as he says women are beautiful and any age and he does not seem to buy into the American “youth worshiping” mentality. He coined the phrase, “intelligent beauty,” which I, being over 40, immediately gravitated to. His belief is that a woman can be beautiful at any age and that she becomes more attractive and interesting as time goes on.
An interview with Rolf is really more of an experience as he is so gracious to all of the guests that come into the salon. He believes that all women deserve to be treated special whether they are regular customers or are single moms who have saved up to come in for a special treat. I went to meet him at the Gainey Ranch location and was impressed with the décor and ambiance Elegance is the word that comes to mind the colors and textures are a mixture of old world and contemporary. (Rolf even designed the gorgeous concierge desk.) His commitment to excellence is second to none and his staff is absolutely the best at what they do.
One of the things that I truly love about Rolf and his staff is their compassion and commitment to giving back to the community. I recently had the opportunity to work with several of his staff at the Rock the Runway Fashion Show that I hosted For Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock charity last week and it was absolutely amazing. Audrey organized everything as Tracy did all the hair for our models, the Solid Rock dancers, as well as Sheryl Cooper, Morgan Cooper and yours truly. Our makeup artist, also a Morgan, was absolutely phenomenal. Words cannot describe the transformation as our show was a retro theme, 1940s, with hair and makeup. The show was a complete success everyone looked beautiful and once again Rolf donated his staff, products and gifts to the swag bags, something he does on a regular basis. If you have not had the opportunity to experience Rolf’s yet, I highly recommend it.
Every woman deserves to feel special and I cannot think of a better way to reward yourself.
At Alice Cooper’s Celebrity Golf Tournament I had my make-up done for the Rock the Runway Fashion Show. Morgan did a fabulous job – I got so many compliments, I looked so hot!
I absolutely adore Rolf and his team and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. He sets the bar high and gives back.. Love it.
