I received a great invitation to work with the Style. network for the weekend of 8/22. Style was doing a promotional tour across the US. Style. network is the home of the TV shows, Clean House, How do I Look?, Split Ends and Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane to name a few.
To the right is a slide show of the Salon on wheels designed by the Style network. To promote the Style network, the "Style" staff did complimentary hairstyles, polish changes and make up applications on patrons from Appleton to Milwaukee. Afterward the mobile salon was heading East. The mobile salon was a RV remodeled to service six clients at a time. It is an experience I will not forget soon. It was great to meet so many new people.
