Often the event bringsout the nail biter in each of us,whether we%u2019re parting with twoinches of our waist lengthtresses or taking the moredrastic course of a short cut.That's why discovering a goodhaircutter is not unlike winningthe lottery - you feel set up forlife. And for local residentsBOONDI Haircutters at 147Montague Street is equivalent tofinding a pot of gold.l Bringingto Brooklyn Heights the knowhow and style of Bendel%u2019s salonwhere he previously worked,BOONDI provides his clientswith a straightforward, naturalapproach to haircutting. Nogimmicky cuts or intricatesettings for BOONDI who feelsthat femininity has nothing to dowith the length of a woman'shair or the elaborateness of hercoif. A well cut style that suitsthe shape of a woman's face andthe texture of her hair isBOONDI%u2019s criteria for classicfemininity.%u201c A haircut shouldn't be put onlike a hat\who has observed that manyhaircutters trained within thelast few years locked into theshag or layered cut which theybestowed unflinchingly on eachhead that came their way.Thesestylists are having difficultymaking the transition to theclean, softly dramatic lines oftoday%u2019s cuts that are modern, yetclassic. BOONDI%u2019s haircuts arepersonalized variations on theblunt cut that take into accountthe natural waves of a woman%u2019shair and its tendency to curl orwilt.But as BOONDI rightlyrequested during this interview,\of what I do.\animated shop that afternoongave ample testimony to his skill.Pleasant chatter betweenBOONDI, his staff and theirclients dispelled the nervousgiggles and anxious smiles thatoften accompany a haircut. Anurse from Long Island CollegeHospital was standing, havingher nearly waist length hairtrimmed to a sub-shoulderlength. It seemed as if each hairwere being cut one by one andthe result was so precise itlooked as if the cutting had beenplotted with a slide rule. As sheswung her hair from side to sideand watched it fall into perfectplace each tim e sheremarked,\hair is fixed exactly as you wantit, even when you feel you can'texactly explain what you envision.\BOONDI worked in a numberof European salons before hewas brought to New York byRubenstein two years ago. LikeDavid Crispin, whom BOONDIconsiders am excellent teacher,he believes the good lines of aclassic cut are the best way toinsure the naturalness that is sowidely sought today. There%u2019s nota roller to be seen in his comfortably furnished salon. Instead, powerful hand blowersare used to dry hair and coax itinto place. Ably administeredshampoos with RedKenproducts preceed all haircuts atBOONDI%u2019s and the relaxationthat the thorough shampooingbrings is as welcome an effect assqueaky-clean hair.Another client that afternoonliterally glowed after BOONDIcompleted her short cap cut. ABoston resident, she explainedshe makes a point of visitingBOONDI each time she gets toNew York %u201c so that he can fix upwhat other haircutters haveattempted in the interim.%u201d Manyof BOONDI%u2019s clients are localresidents, both men and women,some of whom he met at Benders. He chose Brooklyn Heightsas the location for his own salonbecause the neighborhood'ssense of style and sophisticationseemed compatible with his ownaesthetics and approach tohaircutting.That the community appreciates BOONDI is readilyapparent. At one station was abouquet of flowers with a card,%u201cThanks for a great haircut.%u201dAnd BOONDI receives morethan a few notes in which clientsexpress satisfaction and rejoiceover no longer needing to trek toManhattan to impersonal,mannequin populated salonswhere getting the \haircut is like playing rouletteand the stakes are $35 bucks athrow.BOONDI works on an appointment schedule to insure anunhurried cut.
