WHAT’S ON YOUR IPOD?
We asked Edmondo Blando, stylist and owner of Salon Vanity in
Downtown Philadelphia, what he has been listening to:
“Feeling Good” by Muse. “It’s a feel-good song that reminds
me of the high caused by the success of my business, health of my
family and love of my friends.
“Guns Are Drawn” by The Roots. “We put this on when the
salon is packed. It is really meant to remind the other stylists how
terrific they are and that they are the best!”
“Lose Myself” by Lauryn Hill. “This song has a great energy about it. It’s a killer
song to have in the salon.”
“Traffic Jam Remix” by Stephen Marley (featuring Snoop Dogg). “It just gets
the salon lifted.”
