The Salon at Old Edwards Inn welcomes guest stylist George Elliott for a limited number of appointments open to the public September 12 through 14, 2011.

The celebrated Palm Beach stylist is known for his talents in hair color, hair care and the most up to date styles. He will host a trunk show on those days featuring his exclusive line of products specifically formulated for aging or post-childbirth hair.

Elliott will be conducting training at the Old Edwards Salon during the morning hours then taking appointments from 2 pm to 6 pm. His exclusive line of shampoo and conditioner called “Rebirth,” are anti-aging hair products that are specially formulated for women who have given birth or are postmenopausal—both of which change the quality of hair. The products have two botanical estrogens (one of which grows above ground and one of which grows below) that work together as progesterone. Elliott says, “It’s the Progesterone that serves to restore hair to its normal luster.”

If your hair is color challenged, you need an updated hair style or if you would like to get a consistent, predictable color with each visit to your stylist, George will put you on the right path and provide you with the information to take back to your regular stylist.
