Albie Opens V L V T Salon and Academie



I was visiting Albie Mulcahy's MySpace site and learned he is opening a new salon and advanced Dry Cutting Academie in St Pete, FL.



"V L V T® lounge opening soon @ Salon Lofts in St. Petersburg Florida. Phone-727-278-2159. Location will be 1068 4th St North, 33701. A high-end - SUDZZ FX® salon where each style is individually crafted by the most influencial Dry-Cutters."

In Source Of Inspiration 1 and Source Of Inspiration 2 on my personal blog, I wrote about the influence Albie had on my hair artistry and my life in general. I encourage stylists to catch Albie on stage at his next Texas appearance or investigate attending his Academie in FL. You will not come away disappointed!

  • Shoulder And Pelvic Girdles (focusing on shoulders, hips and low back)
  • Spinal Mechanics (focusing on Core in forward, back and side bending and rotation)
