ALTAMONT — Orsini Park is going to get all dressed up.

The neighboring salon, Spa Li Ve, will host a fashion show in the park on Aug. 10 from 6 to 8 p.m. to celebrate its reopening.
"Hair stylists are all about having fun," said Manolo Munoz of the decision to host the show. Munoz and his wife, Maureen, will now be running the shop with its founder, Liberty Livecchi and her husband, Vincent.

The new couple, both hair stylists, have brought with them the Paul Mitchell line of products, making Spa Li Ve the only Paul Mitchell focus salon in upstate New York, Munoz said.
Before beauty school, Munoz was in the Army. "Three weeks after high school, I was in boot camp," he said.
"I was a bit of a rebel," he said of his time in the service. Munoz would break the rules and keep his hair longer than regulations allowed. "I used Paul Mitchell sculpting gel to keep it down and realized what the right products can do," he said.

Owning a salon is his American Dream, said Munoz, who moved here from Mexico in the second grade. He and his wife were looking for a place to open up shop when they saw a posting by Livecchi, who was looking for a new direction for her business, he said.
"It’s the perfect marriage," Munoz said of the partnership. "We walked into the salon and it was the same color scheme we were using in our house."

They have scheduled the reopening of the salon for Aug. 10. It will include the fashion show as well as a wine and cheese party in the shop after words.
"We’re just everyday people having fun, living the dream," said Munoz. "Life is good."
