Liz has provided freelance styling to Los Angeles for 6 years, working in music, fashion, and video. When not selling peanuts or beverages at her dramatic shows, she's cutting, coloring, and styling at Micheltorena and Sunset.
Lori - Vidal Sassoon is not where Lori started her styling conquest, just only where she learned the etiquette. Having a family of internationally known fine artists, she focused her studies to nursing. An eventual lack of passion in nursing returned her to artistry, hair styling her true interest. Following her family blood talent, Lori has established her skill as a stylist over the last two years by maintaining a demanding client list. The #1 salon in the South Bay has welcomed her talents, and now moving her talents to The Hive provides her with a platform to reach new heights.
