Philip is famous for his amazing haircuts.  He is very talented with all types and textures of hair, but he is also known to be great with natural curls as well as thick, straight and very stubborn hair.  Philip can quickly create hairstyles that generate instant hair envy.   Philip's own personal style icon?  "Andy Warhol for his wonderful sense of style, talent and creative vision."

He was named one of the top 10 haircutters and hair stylists in InStyle magazine. This was added to his accolades as Top Designer of the World by Lo Zeffiro and World Master by the Art and Fashion Group International.  Philip is often quoted as saying "I didn't invent the haircut, I just made it better."

If Philip could work on any celebrity, dead or alive, it would be "the late Carole Lombard. She was such a great beauty and is one of my favorite comedic actresses of all time."  As far as modern celebrities Philip would love to work with "Julianne Moore for her modern elegance. She is one of our new beauty icons."

Philip doesn't subscribe to the belief that all hot hair trends work for everyone.  He suggests hair consumers "beware of trends that don't look good on everybody. There are many variations of current styles to fit someone's facial shape."

In his spare time, which is limited because he is in such high demand all the time, he loves a "a glass of good red wine and photographing great hairstyles."  The hair guru loves listening to David Byrne and Beethoven.  He also enjoys cappuccino with a little bit of reading to see what's going on in the world.

Whever possible he tries to always make time for jogging.  He also enjoys great French and Italian cheeses and has absolutely no self control.  He also loves jazz, especially the drums.

In 2005, celebrated the national launch of the P2^® product line that bears his name.

In addition to emerging as a world-class hairdresser and product designer, Philip has always expressed a deep commitment to the arts through his own creative photography, his involvement with dance, and his support of the Warhol Museum.

While Philip was developing his salons, he was also garnering attention as a photographer for his aesthetic illustrations of his hair designs and his original eye in capturing the ambience of fashion photography.

Trade magazine editors and manufacturers, who met Philip at trade events or saw his photographs in various publications, sought his advice on design and product development.
