Studio W Presentation Founded in 1988, Studio W has 7 locations in the most prestigious fashion malls of Brazil, catering to a captive clientele of celebrities, artists, models, sports idols, politicians, entrepreneurs and other trend setters and leaders in that country. Wanderley Nunes, top hair stylist and founder of the group, is a celebrity in his own right, having been in the business for 30 years and enjoying a constant presence in the Brazilian media. Even in the US Wanderley and Studio W have been lauded in the pages of the Red Book, Rolling Stone Magazine and the New York Times. The NYT wrote about Studio W in São Paulo: “… visit the salon of Wanderley Nunes, close personal friend of the Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen and the country’s answer to Frédéric Fekkai. There are attendants in sparkling white uniforms, and clients with more than a passing knowledge of cosmetic surgery. Nunes himself wears a black button-down and black slack, his hair in a tangle of blond highlights. He has an air of irrepressibility faintly evocative of Santa Claus.” (10/29/06) Over the years Wanderley Nunes has been an ambassador for the main names in the industry, including starring in TV commercials for L’Oréal, Wella and others. Studio W is the salon in charge of the main artists and models in the São Paulo Fashion show, including international clients such as Diane Von Furstenberg e Pierre Cardin. W Magazine reaches a carefully selected audience of 30,000 readers quarterly with a vibrant issue crafted by the same publishers as Harper’s Bazaar in Brazil. The salons were designed by top Brazilian architects and appointed with custom furniture and items like ultra-clear Belgian Crystal mirrors. Special care and attention to details such as the water purification and surgical-level tools hygiene have provided for an ISO 9001 certification, the first of its kind in Brazil.
