If you've never heard of the Hair Olympics, you're not alone. Admittedly, I didn't either until I met Dale Dees.
The man I personally trust my tresses to was a former performer who found his calling backstage when fellow performers noticed his uncanny ability to cut and style hair. Over the last 12 years, Dale has dedicated himself to perfecting and expanding his career through National and International competition.
Since 2002, Dale has taken first place each time in the National Cosmetology Association’s Up-Do competition and also placed first in the International Professional Lady’s Full Fashion competition. The Hair World Championships, dubbed the "Hair Olympics" now serve as his new stage.
Dale's quest for excellence led him to Moscow in 2006, where he and Team US garnered their first medal. Acclaimed Documentary Filmmaker Mark Lewis followed the United States Hair Styling Team during their training and through competition. HAIRWORLD: THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE documents the National Cosmetology Association’s (NCA) Team USA as its members clip, comb and spray their way to the 31st HairWorld Championships in Moscow, Russia, where 800 stylists from 50 countries compete for gold, silver and bronze medals in timed tests of styling skill. The program airs Wednesday, July 25, 2007, 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET on PBS (check local listings as air times vary by market).
Tune in Wednesday to watch the story unfold and stay tuned to making headlines, as Dale has qualified once again for the US Team's quest for the gold in 2008.

Vision is not affected by distance
Though there may be more than a thousand miles that separate my office from her boutique, Amber Stanley and I have overcome this minor obstacle through the graces of modern technology.
I remember meeting Amber more than four years ago at one of the first weddings, Lisa Konecny orchestrated in Central Florida and remarking that of all the local photographers and collective talent available, a Michigan photographer caught not only her eye, but that of her client. In a short period of time, the evidence supproting why Lisa and her client chose Amber Lights Photography became readily apparent as the pictures literally developed. Many of those stunning images still grace Lisa's website today.
Over time, Amber and I talked, getting to know one another until she felt comfortable enough to seek my advice for a variety of projects.
Recently releasing a new website and logo. Amber looks to celebrate her 10th year of business this May.
Through Amber, I've learned vision is not affected by the miles that separate us, but is further defined by those who understand us.
