Orlando chose the Meatpacking District of NYC as the
birthplace of Orlo Salon because of its recognition as the center of fashion in
the city. Hairstylists learn from the
best in the business, Orlando, and receive the latest celebrity trends and
hairstyles from the man who creates them.
Orlo encompasses years of experience
working on the red carpet, for models, celebrities and leading beauty company
campaigns.
Orlando’s Passion through Orlo Salon
Through his intense passion and contemporary style, Orlando has transcribed Orlo Salon into a working studio environment; begging to be called much more than merely a salon. He’s now made himself and his highly skilled and trained hairstylists available to the public and celebrities alike.
His style which is now carried out through Orlo Salon is frequently seen in Vogue,
Allure and the W Magazine. In 2007,
Orlando received recognition by W magazine as one of the “most influential
people in the world of fashion.” Orlando
continues to hold true to that title and is repeatedly asked to share his
expertise, opinions and tips for publications and media worldwide. He’s even
worked with leading fashion photographers: Irving Penn, the late Richard
Avedon, Steven Meisel, Craig McDean and Mario Testino.
Before Orlo Salon & Orlando’s Hair Career
Orlando is a native to Cuba, who moved to the United States when he was just five years old. At age 14, he cut his first head of hair with the ‘client’ being his brother. Recalling the incident, Orlando said “Growing up, we hated every haircut we ever got.” Orlando’s second subject was his grandmother, and after he tried to cut as many heads of hair as possible to improve his skills and new-found interest. Even though starting with passion and at such a young age, it wasn't until later in his life and career that Orlando finally decided to take hair and make it his full time path.
Finding himself involved in investments, stocks and bonds
for much of his early professional life, Orlando would then make the transition
to taking his hobby of hair styling to the forefront of his business and professional life.
Orlo Salon is now visited by some of the biggest names in fashion and celebrities worldwide. Throughout his career and time in the industry, Orlando has collaborated with and caught the attention of Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Connolly, Beyonce, Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Sarah Jessica Parker to list a few.
