Digi-Mod I just wanted let you know that I love, love, love the digital version of the magazine, as I am somewhat of a tech geek. The articles and information I’ve found are as interesting, valuable and engaging as I’ve come to expect from your magazine. Also, it was fun reading [Scot Stevens’ Beauty Matters] in the January issue, with my comments about Beth Minardi’s ColorAmerica last October. Who doesn’t like seeing their name in print?!

There is a major trend, in my area where stylists are moving into a group called “salon lofts” where each one has his/her own room within a warehouse.
