BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH ZOLTAN VARGYAI IS SOMETHING OF A STRUGGLE. LONDON’S FOREMOST TEXTURE EXPERT MAY BE ABLE TO TAME THE FRIZZIEST OF LOCKS (MINE) INTO SOMETHING APPROACHING WASHED SILK, BUT HE’S HARD TO PIN DOWN. FOR A START, HE FREQUENTLY DEPARTS FOR INDIA OR OTHER FAR-FLUNG CORNERS OF THE GLOBE TO PERFECT HIS YOGA TECHNIQUE. AND THEN, HE OPERATES FROM A VARIETY OF SALONS, DEPENDING ON HIS MOOD. YOU MUST SIMPLY ADOPT A ZEN ATTITUDE UNTIL HE REAPPEARS AGAIN. IT’S WORTH THE WAIT, BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE ALIVE WHO KNOWS MORE ABOUT HAIR CONDITION THAN HE DOES. HE NEVER TAKES A CLIENT UNTIL HE’S HAD A CONSULTATION WITH THEM, AND THEN HE USES A COMBINATION OF SMOOTHING, STRAIGHTENING, MOISTURISING AND CONDITIONING TECHNIQUES TO SEND EVERY WOMAN AWAY WITH A HAIRDO ANY SUPERMODEL WOULD BE PROUD OF.
