As the old adage goes, the best-kept secret is kept secret because the people who know about it don’t want to lose the privilege. Bellisima’s Dominique Strauss is a perfect example. Strauss came to Austin nine years ago, after receiving a college degree and five years of training and apprenticing in Los Angeles. While hair stylists tend to have similar experiences, there is more intimacy in someone working on, massaging, holding your hands and feet. With this connection established, people will share their lives – the old, original idea of a salon. It seems Strauss is trying to bring this connection back.
