**** NEW YORK STYLE **** Angelo David Angelo David, owner of the Angelo David Salon in New York City, created Sonja Tremont-Morgan’s Couture Wig for Catherine Ommanney’s “The Gift” book launch at Bobby Van’s “The Vault” Steakhouse.  Once Angelo saw the Lorena Sarbu dress that Sonja selected for the launch party, he was inspired to create a Marilyn Monroe look.

Her hair was prepped for the wig by creating two separate ponytail sections then securing it with a wig cap in order to hold natural hair taut. Once the wig was in place, he added contrast by pulling a small section of her fringe to create a signature highlight which worked perfectly with the red tone he created.
