In the fast-paced world of fashion, staying ahead of the curve is essential, and sometimes, all it takes is a perfect haircut to make a statement. We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Eugenio Casnighi, a renowned model, to our barber shop for a much-needed transformation. With a vibrant career spanning continents and campaigns, Eugenio's visit was not just another appointmentβit was a story worth sharing.Β
Eugenio, originally from the picturesque city of Milan, Italy, has made quite a name for himself in the modeling industry. Having worked in Asia and now residing in New York, his journey is nothing short of fascinating. He moved to New York three years ago for what was supposed to be a five-month stint, but the cityβs allure and opportunities made him stay permanently. Signed with Q Models, he emphasizes the advantages of being with a medium-sized agency, noting that you get more attention from agents while still having a large clientele.
When Eugenio walked into our barber shop, his hair was longer than usualβa result of a campaign with EstΓ©e Lauder that required him not to cut his hair for two months. "I was dying for a haircut," he confessed with a laugh. His usual routine doesnβt allow his hair to grow too long, as it becomes challenging to manage. For this appointment, he wanted to trim a little off the top while keeping the back short, aiming for a gradient look that complements his sharp features and versatile style.
Eugenio's career predominantly involves clothing and hair modeling, having done notable shoots for brands like L'OrΓ©al USA. Despite the glamorous shoots and campaigns, he maintains a down-to-earth attitude and a rigorous fitness regimen. He works out daily, following a military-style workout class and running for cardio, guided by an online trainer. His disciplined approach extends to his diet, where he adopts keto principles to stay in peak shape.
During our conversation, Eugenio revealed some intriguing details about his hair care routine. "This is going to sound crazy, but I only use hairspray," he admitted. He couldn't recall specific brands but stressed the importance of high-hold hairsprays that avoid flaking. Itβs a minimalist approach, yet it clearly works for his dynamic lifestyle and diverse modeling gigs. One of his boldest hair moments was when he had his hair bleached a brassy gold for a shoot in Milan. "You know what the crazy part is? When the pictures came out, they were in black and white. So you couldnβt even tell."
As Eugenio prepares to return to Italy and visit his local barber at a salon ironically called "Modelingβ near Lake Garda, weβre reminded of the universal appeal of a great haircut. This small shop, located in the region where the movie "Call Me by Your Name" was filmed, holds a special place in Eugenioβs heart, reflecting the deep connection between place, memory, and personal style.
