CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - May 13, 2010) -  Today actress Sofia Vergara of ABC's "Modern Family" treated New Yorkers to a surprise "hairography" flash mob dance performance, a choreographed dance showcasing beautiful hair and the quality of Suave Professionals hair care products. The performance brought to life the results of the new "Suave Stylists Surprised Survey" where Suave invited 1,000 salon stylists to test a "mystery" product and share their feedback. After trying Suave Professionals shampoo and conditioner, 70 percent of the stylists said the products work as well as or better than what they use in the salon.
