On Friday I launched the Beauty Lounge Beauty Box. Six curated boxes specific to your hair type. I believe hair care has become way too confusing and at the end of the day it's really just hair. The idea is simple, how does your hair grow out of your head and how do you like to wear it. The end. We are taking pre-orders and they will be available for pickup on Black Friday. For more information on Beauty Boxes and how to order yours, visit The Beauty Lounge Minneapolis page. Thanks for all your support ❤
