Miguel Angarita: The Oscar Blandi Colorist that Gets Passed Down From One Generation to the Next
With celebrity clients and known as Rachael Ray’s go-to ambush makeover hair colorist, Miguel Angarita, whom I refer to as the blonde whisperer, remains trusted with the tresses of New York’s elite, and that extends to entire families. “I am now doing second and third generations of the same family,” explains Angarita.
After all, if you’re going to pass on important knowledge and heirlooms to the next generation, what could be more important than the gift of good hair? “They really trust me, and that’s why I find myself doing a longtime client as well as her sister, daughter, niece, granddaughter, etc. I’m so honored that my clientele has remained loyal for so many years, and in some cases, over a decade. One bad experience with color can make you nervous, so I’m glad that I can put them at ease.” Splitting his time between South Florida and Oscar Blandi’s new Fifth Avenue salon, he continues making his clients look and feel better, one strand at a time.
Being in Miguel’s very capable hair hands allows you to relax and focus on important things, like chatting with the always fun-loving and personable stylist, who will easily become your friend. You might even be lucky enough to see some snaps of his dog, Oreo.
While this celebrity colorist still remembers the days when he would do hair in Hamptons homes, or even on city balconies during the height of the pandemic, many clients still make sure to center
their trips to the city around their appointments. Despite the challenges of finding new ways, or locations, to do hair, Miguel says he also learned a lot from those days. “I had to get creative and really challenged myself with my techniques.”
After getting the dye treatment of your dreams, finish off your perfect look for wherever you go this season with a cut or blowout from Faith. She is one of Oscar Blandi’s most popular stylists and has worked with Miguel since getting into the industry.
One thing is for sure: blondes know that Miguel does it better!
