Matrix Celebrity Stylist George Papanikolas stopped by America's Beauty Show in Chicago on Sunday. Although he was there for just a few hours, he managed to get in lots of floor time, press time and fan time. MODERN's Beauty and Fashion Director Maggie Mulhern got a chance to chat with him about trend, the power of OMBRE and how to get the most out of a show. Mulhern then handed the MODERN SALON TV microphone to attendee (and Papanikolas fan) Carmen Wilson who asked a challenging question: How to best take a client from level 2 to level 10. Get the answer here (it's all about being realistic and taking it slow).
