The master at work.
Danilo's hair magic for Gwen on The Voice.
If you don’t know Danillo’s work, you might be living under a rock! Danilo's an awesome A-list hair stylist whom I adore. He's constantly blurring the boundaries between art and fashion and he's been going on strong for well over 30 years. Gwen Stefani is his muse and she's often seen sporting one of his creations. Here's a tiny list from his extensive portfolio:
Danilo created Lady Gaga's up-do with beer can rollers for her Telephone video.
- The B52’s wild coifs in the 80’s—(yup, its true!)
- The Martian Madame's hair from Mars Attacks!
- Lady Gaga’s Coke can up-do from her Telephone video.
- Rooney Mara’s hair in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
- 10 years as Head of Hair at Thierry Mugler
- Brand ambassador for Pantene
More reason to love him—Danilo set me up to do Katy Perry's rockin' black to purple fade for her Part Of Me movie premier!
Enough said—Right?
Aside from all of this, Danilo's just a great guy. I totally look to him for inspiration and he's a model of how to be a great hairdresser.
I asked Danilo to share a list of his favorite products and he was kind enough to give me a huge list of things he can't live without. Some of these I've used in my freelance kit but others I'll need to add to my arsenal.
Without further ado...
Danilo's Favorite Products of 2016:

Danilo's alien hair in Mars Attacks.
When I asked Danilo to tell me a bit more about these products he said,
“All of these products deliver on a hyper-standard that I appreciate on every hair type.”
I love him.
