Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Oh, ladies. Big news, apparently, courtesy Women's Wear Daily: Frédéric Fekkai is coming to town. To Highland Park, actually, beginning Monday. Surely, you know who the eff-eff Frédéric Fekkai is, right? " A hairstylist stars don't leave home without," reads the headline to this story about his list of celeb clients, among them, Salma Hayek, Martha Stewart, Sigourney Weaver, Penélope Cruz, Ashley Judd, Naomi Watts, Renée Zellweger, Kirsten Dunst, Kim Basinger and Scarlett Johansson.
Fekkai has six salons in the country, counting his new digs in Highland Park Village -- and, insists WWD, "Fekkai already has Dallas clients who visit his salons in New York; Palm Beach, Fla., and Los Angeles, including nearly 300 loyal customers who go to the Fifth Avenue flagship at Henri Bendel alone, noted Kimberly Callet, vice president of salons." And says Fekkai, "I'm told by my team that Dallas will be the prettiest salon we've ever had." How ... fab. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
