Leave it to desigers to work in a shout out to fundamentalist Mormons after this sect found themselves in the headlines earlier this spring.

From Hollywood to the runways, the style is making its way into high fashion. Designer Zac Posen did a version of the bang on his models and actresses like Maggie Gyllenhaal and Cate Blanchett have been seen with their own versions.

The modernized looks aren’t exact takes on FLDS coifs, but the connection is still there. However, stylists in the “real world” are doubting that it will trickle down to the mainstream, and that they’ll be putting aside their trendy pink scissors in favor of creating even trendier, big, coiffed bangs.

“I wouldn’t see anyone saying, ‘Give me that exact look,’ unless they were going to a costume party,” says Janelle Schwab, a stylist at Dolce Salon and Spa in Chandle, AZ.

And one stylist ventures a suggestion as to why:  the backcombed bang is simply too time-consuming.

“It is a certain amount of work to do,” he says. “You need some sort of an engineering degree to get that much hair on top of the head and not fall down.”

Baltimore’s residents don’t mess around when it comes to hair- homeless people have even been known to comment on hair styles there! Of course, it’s no surprise, since Hairspray was set there. So it’s also no surprise that one of the best stylists, according to some, started out doing celeb hair in Vegas.

Originally from Baltimore, Sarah Cathcart spent a year styling celebrities and high rollers in Las Vegas, then moved herself and her pink scissors back to her city and opened her own salon, Crash. In July of 2005. Last year, Sarah became a mom, sold Crash, and now works at Zena’s Salon and Spa in Mt. Vernon, and while it can be tough to get an appointment with this most gifted of stylists, she always does her best to accommodate, and she is well worth the wait

“My favorite thing to do is a change,” she says. “Whether that means a new cut, color or both, I love a challenge. One of the things I like most about doing hair is seeing how even subtle differences can really change the way a person looks.”

You may wonder how people get their start in the business of being stylist to the stars. For Samuel L. Jacson’s hair stylist, it wasn’t something he set out to do. Robert Stevenson was a cook at a restaurant at LAX when he was drafted into the Army. When it came time for him to get out, he didn’t know what type of career he wanted, but a friend had an idea: open up a hair salon. The only problem was, Robertson had no idea about how to do hair!

“I thought it was cool, you see all the women and you say, oh hey, this is slick. But see I had never done hair and I had no clue. So when I got back, I took my G.I. and went to Flavio Beauty College in the Crenshaw area. What happened was, when I started training, I actually really started liking it. I was actually fairly good at it and just didn’t know it; it was kind of a gift that I never knew I had. After that… that was it, I knew that was going to be my career.

For the past thirteen years on 37 films, he has had the distinct honor of serving as the personal hairstylist for Samuel L. Jackson – and we’re guessing he hasn’t once lifted up a pink scissor in this line of work! His most recent film credits with Jackson include the upcoming films ‘Soul Men,’ ‘The Spirit‘ and ‘Lakeview Terrace.’

With a career that stretches back to the 70′s, Stevenson has accumulated many accolades. He has won numerous Emmy Awards and has been a voting member of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

While the hair world is buzzing about styles like Posh’s new pixie or Rihanna’s latest iteration of the bob, a new, converse trend is moving through Hollywood and trickling down as well. It requires a bit more maintenance for some than rolling out of bed with a close-cropped wild cut (likely put into place by a funky stylist wielding pink scissors)!

Today’s longer trends are leaning towards sleek waves and loose curls, a la Meg Ryan in her most recent movie, The Women. Some people have naturally wavy, gorgeous hair (damn them!) but many will be struggling through curling irons, curlers, special sprays, serums and shampoos.

If your hair ends up looking like Meg Ryan’s we say, it was all worth it!

Breast cancer survivors and supporters with a wild streak will love the campaign which enables participants to get pink hair extensions during the months of September and October

According to Peggy Burnham, the owner of one of the participating salons, a pink ribbon campaign that began in 1996 doesn’t get much attention anymore, and she believes the Pink Hair for Hope campaign is a new, innovative and creative way to show support for such a serious cause.

“We see ribbons, bracelets and even M&Ms as colorful examples of support, but this is a way to bring in a little excitement and style. I think this will really get people talking about breast cancer and early prevention.”

A hair extension company provides professionals in the beauty care industry a unique way to get involved in the fight against breast cancer by supplying salons with hair extensions in various shades of pink for their clients to choose from.

For a donation of $10, supporters can choose from soft pastel pinks to vibrant shades of hot pink or fuschia, according to Burnham. If you’re worried about having the extensions in too long, says Burnham, “They last quite a while, but if you want it removed, we’ll do that free of charge when your ready.”

Last year the Pink Hair for Hope campaign, with the help of 375 salons across the nation, raised approximately $372,000 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. “

Let me be blunt: You Don’t Mess With the Zohan is the finest post-Zionist action-hairdressing sex comedy I have ever seen. That it is the only one I have ever seen — and why is that? what cultural deficiency or ideological conspiracy has prevented this genre from flourishing? — does not much detract from my judgment.

Directed by Dennis Dugan from a script by Judd Apatow, Robert Smigel and Adam Sandler (who also stars), Zohan has its share of scatology, crude sexual humor and queasy homophobia, the basic elements from which male-centered Hollywood comedies are constructed these days. There are supporting roles for stand-up comedians (Ahmed Ahmed, Nick Swardson) and Saturday Night Live veterans (Rob Schneider, Kevin Nealon), a few oddball cameos (Shelley Berman, Chris Rock) and exquisitely random “as themselves” appearances by John McEnroe and Mariah Carey. Why not? Less amusingly, there are also some lumpy computer-assisted special effects, an overstuffed plot and a scattering of awkwardly executed gags. But a lot of the crude bodily-function jokes are actually pretty funny, not least because they are supplemented by more hummus-based humor than you might have thought possible.

You might also think, as I certainly did, that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict presents a singularly unpromising source of laughs. But as Yitzhak Rabin once said, enough of blood and tears. He did not go on to propose semen, urine, shampoo, pink scissors or hummus as substitutes, but those are, for Dugan, Smigel, Apatow and Sandler, the substances that come most readily to hand. (So does a made-up but scarily realistic Israeli soft drink called Fizzy-Bubbeleh.)

And the filmmakers spray all this stuff around in a brave and noble cause. US diplomatic efforts have so far proved inadequate to the task of bringing peace to the Middle East, but You Don’t Mess With the Zohan taps into deeper and more durable sources of American global power in its quest for a plausible end to hostilities. Ancient grievances and festering hatreds are no match for the forces of sex, money, celebrity and exuberant, unapologetic stupidity.

Zohan (Sandler) certainly seems to think so, though he might express his views differently, and certainly with a thicker accent. A highly skilled military operative who specializes in counterterrorism, he is basically a less anguished version of the character played by Eric Bana in Munich. The brilliant opening sequence places him in a tableau that would bring a tear to Theodor Herzl’s eye. Whether it would be a tear of joy or dismay I will leave to more seasoned polemicists, but there is something both appealing and authentic about a vision of the Jewish state on its 60th birthday that emphasizes lithe young bodies frolicking, flirting and playing Hacky Sack on the beach. If you will it, it is no dream.

But only part of Zohan’s life is carefree, and it’s the other part — the job that requires heavy weapons, deadly stealth and hand-to-hand combat with a superterrorist called the Phantom (John Turturro) — that drives him into the diaspora. Zohan may have a picture of Moshe Dayan on his bedroom wall, but his real idol is Paul Mitchell, the American hair-care mogul whose outdated styles Zohan studies as if they were pages of the Talmud. He wants to stop fighting and cut “silky smooth” hair with pink scissors. And so, like everyone else with a dream, he migrates to New York, where he finds an entry-level job at a salon run by a pretty Palestinian named Dalia (Emmanuelle Chriqui).

A romance between them seems at once inevitable and unthinkable, but the taboos that You Don’t Mess With the Zohan is unwilling to smash are few indeed. The movie is principally interested in establishing its main character as a new archetype in the annals of Jewish humor. He’s a warrior and also, to an extent undreamed of in the combined works of Philip Roth, Woody Allen and Howard Stern, a sexual hedonist, so utterly free of neurosis or inhibition that it’s hard to imagine him and Sigmund Freud occupying the same planet, much less the same cultural-religious tradition.

Sex, for Zohan, is like hummus: there is an endless supply, and no occasion on which it could be judged inappropriate. He is always on the make, but Sandler’s natural sweetness inoculates the character against sleaziness. In his feathery 1980s haircut and loud, half-buttoned shirts, Zohan joins a long tradition, stretching back from Will Ferrell through Steve Martin to the great Jerry Lewis himself, of goofballs who mistake themselves for studs and turn out to be right.

The film’s image of Israelis as hopelessly behind the pop-culture curve — Zohan’s musical taste belongs to the same era as his hairdo — is itself something of an anachronism. The hip-hop-inflected Hebrew pop on the soundtrack (by Hadag Nachash) provides some evidence that real Israelis are much cooler than the ones on screen. And the willingness of the American Jewish filmmakers to mock their Middle Eastern cousins is also a subtle, unmistakable sign of cultural maturity.

“Subtle” and “maturity” may seem like odd words to use about a movie that wrings big laughs from pelvic gyrations, indoor Hacky Sack and filthy-sounding fake-Hebrew and -Arabic words. But much as it revels in its own infantilism, You Don’t Mess With the Zohan is also brazenly self-confident in its refusal to pander to the imagined sensitivity of its audience. In this it differs notably from Albert Brooks’s Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World, which approached some of the same topics with misplaced thoughtfulness and tact.

I suppose some Middle East policy-scolds may find reasons to quarrel with Zohan, either for being too evenhanded or not evenhanded enough in its treatment of Israelis and Palestinians. Did I mention that it’s a comedy? Seriously, though, the movie’s radical, utopian and perfectly obvious point is that the endless collection and recitation of political grievances is not funny at all, and that political strife is a trivial distraction from the things that really matter. There is so much hummus, and so little time.
