Power people and places

Power Hairdresser
Frederick Fekkai, New York
Meryl Streep loves him. Barbra Streisand croons ''he touched me.'' Jann Wenner and Sigourney Weaver trust him. Models Linda/Christy/Cindy/Elle like him to run his fingers through their hair. He's young, he's cute, he's French, he's Mister Kenneth for the '90s. And he's yours for $200 a clip, provided you book two months in advance. Cancel at your peril.
