The lovely Nicoletta. This lady, whose personal sense of style I have always admired, has been cutting my hair for over a decade. She has never failed me… not even on those “do what you feel like,” days.

Fede. La Fede. Loyal friend and confidante.

Yvette. Beloved sister, friend, aunt and mother. One whose very existence is indelible and invaluable to my life.

Who are the real women you would like to pay tribute to?
