 * Keep - I can't preview it, but there is an autobiographical entry on him in the Encyclopaedia of Hair: A Cultural History plus, he is placed in context of 1990s hairdressing in a separate section of the same book. Magazine sources include: New York Magazine, 1993 (plus another article from 1995 not about his hairstyling, but about his "celeb lifestyle"), another article in Palm Beach Life, Winter 2003; and quite a number of other hits in Google Books for magazines. I think that's more than enough to show his notability in the field, plus I noticed that there are quite a few hits in Google News, which indicates he has still continued to receive regular coverage/namechecks in the last month or so. Definitely seems notable. Mabalu (talk) 13:15, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep: -- I am not into fashion at all, hair or otherwise, but this is an internally known successful businessman and stylist, like Vidal Sassoon, or, comparably, fashion-wise, Givenchy or Galliano or Tom Ford. Quis separabit?  17:53, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - Wouldn't go quite THAT far! - but yes, definitely a bit better known than yer usual salon stylist. Mabalu (talk) 02:52, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
