“When we are behind the scenes it is a bit stressful – you can almost feel the butterflies and nerves that the girls are feeling, but it is our job to keep them calm and relaxed and remind them that they are ready for this,” says Anna Cantu, CHI Creative Artist.
“I used the CHI ARC at prelims and it is definitely my new go to curling tool for backstage! After styling so many girls, so quickly, for a long period of time we all experience some wrist pains and don’t have time to slow down. With the CHI ARC I can go much faster!” says Cantu.
“I always make sure her hair has lots of movement -- beautiful flowing hair looks so graceful when they walk out on the stage. And I always tell her to smile! Smiling is a sign of confidence and it looks very charming.

Vitelli styled Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo for the CHI ARC commercial that is currently running on NBC.
