One Run for Boston
We are so proud of our guests Jennifer Iaccarino, and Sheila Cardell for their recent participation in “One Run for Boston”, a cross-country run started to raise donations and support for the city of Boston and those whose lives were affected forever by the marathon attack on April 15, 2013.
One Run for Boston, which was started by a British author and teacher Danny “Danny Boy” Bent, was the first ever non-stop running relay across America. Hundreds of runners from across the country began June 7th in Los Angeles and were assigned to different legs throughout the US. Jennifer and Sheila were part of the Bridgeport to Milford leg of the race with “Girls Gone Miles”, a group of women who are “passionate about running and celebrating life”. A special GPS enabled baton charting the route was passed along by participants, and made Boston its’ final destination on July 1st. One Run raised over $80,000 to help victims of the marathon bombings.
Way to go girls!

Creating Connections: It's a Small "Business" World
A few months ago, while perusing the professional website of our merchandise line, Oribe, we stumbled upon a review of My Story, a book by local dairy store/supermarket founder, Stew Leonard. The review happened to be personally written by Oribe’s co-president Daniel Kaner. In his review, Daniel discussed his love of Stew Leonard’s grocery stores both for their fine products and also their business model.
Cheers!

"My wife Kim has been going to Mari for years and smiles after each visit. I went in to try Mari out and guess what? I’m hooked. Even our cattle ranchers ask me... ‘where do you get your haircut?’ Mari’s the best and her staff is top notch too.
Stew Leonard Jr. |
What a coincidence, we thought! Not only are Stew Jr. and his family guests at our Fairfield salon, but the president of our favorite haircare line is a huge fan! We passed along the information to Stew Jr. himself, at which point he reached out to Daniel and thanked him for his review. From there, a connection was made, and Stew was invited to speak in Miami at “Backstage”, Oribe’s annual convention (or as they refer to it, “a hair jam...a multi-day bash of hairstyling, makeup, photography and entertainment” -- not your average convention!).
Stew was able to inspire and thoroughly entertain the crowd of salon owners and hairdressers with his business savvy advice, and at the same time, was able to help Stew Leonard’s childrens’ charity for water safety. The Oribe company graciously donated 200 swimming lessons to help inner city children learn how to swim. We at Mari the Studio couldn’t be happier that Stew Leonard’s and Oribe have made this relationship, and are so proud to have been a part of it.

My Wonderful Gift
How thoughtful and kind is my staff? I received this book by Kathy Buckley as a thank you gift from my Guest Services Manger as a token of appreciation for the conference in Arizona.
If you do not know who Kathy Buckley is, you are certainly missing out. Billed as "America's First Hearing Impaired Comedienne", Kathy is an absolutely hilarious and inspiring speaker who made us burst into laughter, and then turned it around and made us burst into tears. Her message was that NOTHING is impossible if you dream it - nothing.
Stephanie came home, so touched by Kathy, she bought two copies of this. One for herself and one for me. I can’t wait to begin this book!
Be sure to look up Kathy’s website and Facebook page for more information. And if you have a chance to see her, don’t miss the opportunity!!!
Cheers!

What an Experience!
Thank you to John Harms and the entire Millennium family for once again hosting the perfect conference. The Millenium team is a joy to work with; each and every member being pleasant, kind, and generous of their time and spirit. Its easy to see that they have all turned their dreams into reality, which is precisely what this year's Millennium Experience was about.

We excitedly left our Fairfield studio on Saturday for a 5 hour flight to Arizona. What we found out West, was a group of people as enthused as us, and a weekend filled with inspiring and motivating information. With classes hosted by the Millennium staff, educators from Paul Mitchell, former employees of Vidal Sassoon and more, we immersed ourselves in the information presented to us. But not only did we learn, we had FUN while doing it! We watched Tabatha Coffey speak, discovered an amazing charity (www.friendsarebyyourside.com -- much more on that later), danced (yes, in class), we dressed up in our Denim & Diamonds for a theme party, we laughed and we even cried at the unbelievable presentations from motivational speakers.
We’ve come back to our salon more energized than ever! The Millennium Experience is so much more than a "software conference". It's a true "Experience", one that renews and revitalizes us, and reaffirms our ever-growing love for this industry.

Second Time Around: The Millennium Experience
Last year, we posted about Mari & Stephanie taking a trip down to Miami for the Millennium Experience, a conference hosted by our software company. We called it the "Un-conference" (See our blog about it!), because, while it was for business, we definitely had a whole lot of fun! This weekend, we will be attending for our second year in a row, and Kelly will be joining as well.
We hope to learn about new ways to utilize our software in our efforts to serve you better, also hear from celebrity hairstylists, and even get an education from TV personality and hairdresser, Tabatha Coffey!
Keep checking back here for updates and pictures of all the hoopla.
Cheers!
