On Sunday morning, CEO of Michael's Salon and Spa, Michael Schuh was reading the Dayton Daily News when he turned the page and saw a picture of long-time friend, Margaret Vinci Heldt, creator of the iconic beehive hairstyle.


Michael remembers Heldt from his competition days in the 1970's:
"I would be competing on stage, and she was always there in the crowd. Margaret and I would talk after the hair shows, and we joked that she was my #1 fan. It was exciting to see her grow professionally into the Grand Dame of Chicago hair salons."

Michael was very active in national competitions throughout the 1970's, competing and also training designers for competition.
"In fact, I trained Ann Bray (mentioned in the article) for the US Hair Olympics in 1971 and 1972. We remain close friends to this day - best friends."
Bray owns The Masters Salon in Huntsville, AL and is also an educator for Aquage. She recently taught a continuing education class for Michael's staff in 2009.

Michael's Salon and Spa employees were at the University of Dayton Men's Basketball game on January 12th giving away a FREE iPad. The lucky winner of the iPad was Brian Reis. Brian, a local Wright State University Graduate, is a UD Basketball life fan and is a season ticket holder.

We posted some information about Michael's PhotoArt in our Culture Shift post last week, but we've had many questions about our involvement with the American Heart Association Go Red for Women campaign, so we wanted to give you more information.



Michael Schuh, owner of Michael's Salon has been fortunate to travel the world doing what he loves - hair design. Some of the elements that lend to being a great designer transcend to other fields - including photography. As Michael travels, he always has his camera ready to document the beautiful and the bizarre.

Recently, as part of the salon's renovation, Schuh selected some of his favorite photographs and had them transferred to canvas prints with the help of MotoPhoto, located in Centerville at Washington Square. The response to the new artwork has been extremely positive, with many requests to purchase duplications of Michael's PhotoArt.

Right about the same time that we hung the new artwork, we also became involved with the American Heart Association Go Red for Women. Heart disease is the number 1 killer of women in the United States. On a personal level, Michael's Salon has several employees who are affected by it - along with many clients. In order to help raise funds to bring awareness to this great cause, Michael is selling limited edition reproductions of his PhotoArt, with all profits being donated to Go Red for Women.



The video above is a short promotion for the sale of Michael's PhotoArt. For a closer look at the artwork, private tours are available at Michael's Salon - or you can watch the longer tour by Michael on YouTube.

For more information on purchasing Michael's PhotoArt or Michael's Salon's contribution to the Go Red for Women campaign, please contact Kim Ash at kim@mediagrouponline.com or (937) 435-4701.
