"What I love most about being a stylist
is working with people."

"Having an impact; whether it is transforming a client's image or developing an associate into a successful hairdresser. Very few professions can allow us to touch other human beings so uniquely."
 

What are your favorite René Furterer products?

KARITÉ intense nutrition oil - the best intense treatment in the business. Regardless of porosity, it can put anyone’s hair back together with repeated use.

FIORAVANTI no rinse detangling spray - works very well on bleached hair to seal, condition and add shine without weight.

Finishing spray instant hold - the best hairspray in the business. A working spray and finishing spray in one. Soft enough for fine hair but strong enough to hold all styles.

Biography:

John Vella has created one of the most diverse careers known in the hairdressing industry today. His commitment to excellence and his creative ability to design according to the needs of the individual has enabled him to build an illustrious clientele base of models and celebrities alike, from Kate Moss to Rachael Hunter. Voted by Allure magazine as one of the “Best of the Best”, Vella splits his time between Beverly Hills, CA at the Kim Vo Salon and Wexford, PA at Izzazu Salon & Spa.

As a runway artist, Vella has worked with some of the greatest American and European designers known in the fashion community. Icons such as Calvin Klein, Bill Blass, Oscar De La Renta, Gianfranco Ferre`, Carolina Herrera, Geoffrey Beene, Jill Sanders, Mark Badgley & James Mischka, Mary McFadden, Arnold Scaazi, Alber Elbaz, and Isaac Mizrahi.  Working with that level of talent has transformed into a distinct body of work, blended with his ability to communicate and a passion to see the people around him become successful.

Today his travels take him to London, New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and Milan, to find his inspiration for his next creation. With a prestigious list of clients on both coasts, John Vella has taken the art of runway and brought it to reality.

My Styling Tip

  • Step 1

    Start by removing roughly 50-60% of the water from the hair before applying product.

  • Step 2

    Spray the VOLUMEA volumizing foam at the root area to create support.

  • Step 3

    Using about a dime size amount, apply CARTHAME day time moisturizing conditioner to the mid-shaft and ends to add shine and control.

  • Step 4

    Working with a large round brush, direct horizontal sections under and towards the face following the lines of the haircut.

  • Step 5

    After warming a small amount of modeling paste in the palm of your hands, rake fingers through out to draw attention to the details of the cut.
