Child's Play
For the past week I’ve been with my family in Atlanta: two nieces and their husbands along with their children aged five, four and one. Having never birthed a child, I have zero “mothering” genes, and since I live in an adult business world, I rarely have the opportunity to be in the pure presence of a child. It was bound to be an awakening experience—especially since it lasted for nine days! That’s how long we were together, splitting time between their two homes and navigating their different lifestyles, schedules and parenting rules.
Learning From Friends
I love learning from friends, because most of the time they are more honest about their experiences (what worked and didn’t work), and more open to sharing embarrassing things that happened while they were learning. That is why our studio is offering an open and ongoing shadowing program where outside stylists and colorists come and hang out with our team members.

BabylissPRO Volare Luxury Blowdryer
BabylissPRO has just introduced its new luxury blowdryer: Volare. The Volare blower is exceptional in that Ferrari engineers help develop and design the motor that "drives" the blow dryer. To introduce the blower to distributors and the press, Lee Rizzuto, CEO of Conair, rented out the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and invited all to drive REAL Ferrari's along the course. Just 13 signed on, and Modern's Beauty and Fashion Director Maggie Mulhern was just one of two women willing to brave the course and the 115 degrees! "I got it up to 125 miles per hour," said Maggie. "What a blast! Oh...and the blow dryer is fantastic!" Watch the Volare video at www.babylissus.com.
