Charlie Brackney debuts promo image for new salon

Just saw what I'm assuming to be a promo image for the new, yet-to-be-opened (or named) salon by hairstylist Charlie Brackney posted on his facebook page. Charlie recently left his position as Master Stylist, instructor and Creative Director for Juut Salonspa to start his own salon. (He's also leading hair at the SCENEaSOTA fashion show on November 6.) The fashion styling is by Jane Belfry, hair by Charlie (of course), photo by Shelly Mosman, and modeled by Ashlee Walker of Vision. A gorgeous vision of what's to come, without a doubt.


And just for fun, here's a Q&A Charlie did for Juut back in 2009.
