SQUARE SALON WINS HAIR WARS 2011 FINALE

Las Vegas’s favorite whimsical hair competition goes wild!

Fantasy at the fantasy! The Palms Casino & Resort’s Fantasy Tower was an appropriate setting for the premiere fantasy hair competition that draws salon teams to Las Vegas each December. This year Vegas’s own Square Salon picked up the win in the Hair Wars 2011 Finale. Sponsored by Rusk and held in the posh Moon Nightclub on the Fantasy Tower’s top floor, the Hair Wars Finale lived up to its reputation with coiffing artistry that ignited the imagination!

“This event promises to be over the top!” exclaimed celebrity stylist host and judge Faatemah Ampey in remarks prior to the event. (Read a profile of Faatemah on page 44.) Beauty LaunchPad’s Alyson Kerr also served as a judge.

Winter FUN in NYCwinter fun

Conair blowouts with John Frieda styling tools—and a charity tree twist—warm up Bryant Park.

A night of styling, skating and snacking kicked off the holiday season at Bryant Park’s Celsius Lounge in New York City, where Conair pros offered complimentary makeovers using John Frieda Styling Tools. Early-bird guests were comped on rental skates to take advantage of the rink, while fresh popcorn spilling out of a Waring Pro corn popper and delicious hot beverages supplied by Cuisinart kept everyone in high spirits. Also warming the heart was the unveiling of a one-of-a-kind hair-tool holiday tree custom-decorated by interior designer Erin Gates, author of the popular Elements of Style blog. Following the event, the hair tools and brushes adorning the tree were donated to Safe Horizon charity foundation to help support victims of domestic violence.
