We’re thrilled to offer this unique contest and giveaway: a holiday hairstyle makeover and professional photo shoot by our favorite stylist Ron Perez (of Images in Corona del Mar) and photographer Lori Brystan (of Brystan Studios) for one lucky reader.
Please submit a photo of yourself along with a short paragraph on why you, your best friend, mom, sister, or daughter deserves this holiday makeover. We’ll choose the winner on Dec. 9, and the following week, the winner can have a complimentary cut and color (valued at $175) at Images Salon in Corona del Mar, followed by a photo shoot at their convenience with Brystan Studios in Aliso Viejo.
To enter, email Gretchen at gretchen@pacific-creative.digital with all your information.
It’s the perfect holiday gift to give a deserved loved one.
