Walano is a style assistant at Mario Tricoci’s Hair Salon and Day Spa in Orland Park. While washing a client’s hair, she kept her eyes glued to the famed beautician as he cut, blow-dried and styled other clients. <\/p>\n
Tricoci <\/b>stopped by the salon to cut hair to raise money for victims of the Haiti earthquake. Since Feb. 10, he’s made visits to four of his salons to raise funds. <\/p>\n
The $200 cut includes a shampoo, conditioner and a blow-dry style. The proceeds will go to Julie’s Holy Family Village in Thomazeau and Julie’s Holy Family Fishing Village in Mouillage Fouquet, Haiti. Tricoci said it costs about $2,800 to build one home, and he hopes to raise about $50,000, to build 19 homes. <\/p>\n
“I wanted to do something that would be tangible,” Tricoci said. <\/p>\n
He credits his wife, Cheryl, for coming up with the idea. <\/p>\n
“My wife said, ‘Do what you do best, ‘ ” he said. “I did something similar to this for (the victims of) Hurricane Katrina. It’s something we’re doing to give back.” <\/p>\n
While the minimum donation is $200, Tricoci said one client donated $1,000. <\/p>\n
As Tricoci <\/b>worked diligently, his focus merited an audience among the other employees. <\/p>\n
“It’s very inspiring,” hair stylist Sarah Koseck said. “You want to see what he does and see if you can pick up anything.” <\/p>\n
Frankfort resident Donna Jasutis frequents the salon and decided to book an appointment for her 17-year-old daughter Jessica. Jasutis said Jessica had five different hair colors in the past two years and every salon she took her to wasn’t helpful. <\/p>\n
“I figured if anyone could help her, Mr. Tricoci could,” she said. “I mean, it’s a lot of money, but since 100 percent of the proceeds are going to Haiti, I like that.” <\/p>\n
Tricoci <\/b>said the cut he gave Jessica was the “new shag.” In the 1970s, women had shaggy hair cuts that were a little messy. Now, its still shaggy but more organized. <\/p>\n
Although Tricoci loves to cut and style hair, he only does it sparingly, he said. <\/p>\n
Working mother of two, Madonna Golden, 42, said she felt “wonderful” once Tricoci was finished cutting her hair. <\/p>\n
“This is the first time I’ve ever been to Mario’s,” she said. “I’ve got two kids. I needed to do something for myself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I want to be just like him.” Walano is a style assistant at Mario Tricoci’s Hair Salon and Day Spa in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-338607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=338607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338607\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=338607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=338607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=338607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/img><\/a>
