Babe Rizzuto
, daughter of Conair founder Lee Rizzuto and Vice President of Public Relations, is no stranger to travel. Babe has been around the world and knows what she needs to keep her coif in place. She also knows about the problems with different voltages. Babe has created the "Jet Set Babe" bag filled with the MUST HAVE items for any traveler that can travel just about anywhere and everywhere...and appliances with dual voltage for world wide use. Not surprisingly, she has filled that bag with items from the Conair family of products.
Pull together some of your favorite items, all of the essentials for a perfect trip. Place them in a bag of your choice and sell to customers.
Wanting to share this great idea for the summer retail, Babe suggests that salons pull together some of their favorite items, including travel size blowers and irons, complete with perfect travel shampoos, brushes….all the goodies necessary for the prefect trip. Babe suggests placing in a travel bag of your choice…or even better…a customized bag with the name of the salon displayed to remind the traveler of where to return when needing refills!

The "Jet Set Babe" bag as shown here including neck pillow, curling and flat irons, mini blow dryer, brushes, accessories and hair products, is worth $175, but this could vary with what YOU place in your special travel bag for your special clients.
