With so many ways to glam it up, how do you choose which special occasion look is best for you? For answers, book a visit to your salon for some pre-party style experimentation. Return the day of the event for the best execution, with staying power, of your selected look
At the Mark Garrison Salon, we help our clients select their special occasion hair options by photographing trial runs of different styles. This special occasion hair "workshop" service is done by our own special occasion hair pro, Rachel Lee Martuscelli, who helped me create the following hair looks for LHJ.com.
