Salon City's Steven Casciola Interviews Orlando Pita, NYC's Celebrity Beautymaker and Stylist to the Stars

BEVERLY HILLS, CA--(Marketwire - March 11, 2009) - Ewire -- Salon City, Inc. (OTCBB: SALN) announced that Steven Casciola, co-founder of Salon City, Inc. interviewed Orlando Pita, New York City's celebrity hairdresser, for Salon City's Beautymaker magazine.

Born in Cuba, Pita began working as a hairstylist in the fashion industry in the early 1980s. He cut and styled the famous and beautiful for magazines like Vogue, W, and Harper's Bazaar, but his reputation was really made on the runway, thanks to his sculpted styles for Versace, Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Michael Kors, and Narciso Rodriguez. In January 2005, Pita opened his own salon in the meatpacking district, naming it after his nickname, Orlo.

At $800, a haircut by Pita was once the city's most expensive, topping Sally Hershberger's notoriously pricey cut by $200; it comes with a 15-minute head massage, too, in case you're wondering (Hershberger has since matched Pita). Despite Pita's hefty prices, he still boasts a months-long waiting list. Naturally, Pita's boldfaced clients don't have to worry about waiting -- or paying -- for their cuts. His celeb client list includes Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Connelly, and Naomi Campbell.

Steven Casciola, known for his high-profile interviews of top business people, artists, celebrities and visionaries, asked Pita what drives him everyday to create such alluring hairstyles and his signature product collection, "I have a passion for beauty -- and not just in the physical sense. We can find beauty in many things: in nature or anything. One can find it in a garment or in a beautiful painting. Beauty attracts and I am attracted to it."

Pita was asked about the runway professionals he meets, "Beauty on the outside is not enough. I work with models. I learned a lot from seeing them work. It's okay to be beautiful, but some of these girls that are really, really beautiful have really bad attitudes and aren't that beautiful anymore."

As for favorite looks in hair, Pita explained, "I don't really have any because I feel that hair is very individual. If you trap yourself, like just liking one kind of look, you can't give it to everybody because it's not going to work on everybody -- so you're defeating your business. You're also defeating your craft. So, no, I don't want to stick to one shape. I will say that I do like hair that doesn't look like you've just had it cut."

When asked by Casciola if true beauty is revealed in a person's countenance, he answered, "Sure, of course. Sometimes people aren't exactly a perfect beauty, but their personality is so wonderful and so captivating that you think this person is beautiful. This is the key to what beautymakers strive to unveil in others; their real, timeless beauty."

Orlando Pita's complete interview appears in Salon City Network News, a mobile, online and email edition of Salon City and Beautymaker magazines that goes out monthly to over 100,000 conscious consumers, media, salon professionals and influential online members.
