Oct 10-11, 2009 (RALEIGH, NC) – The producers of “John and Kate Plus 8” are interested in turning Jade Murray’s real life story as an "up-and-coming"  fashion designer into a reality show.  Murray was filmed on site at Samuel Cole Salon overseeing preparation of her models’ hair and makeup for a photo shoot that took place later that day at Duke Gardens.  The actual photo shoot was part of the filming also.  Murray is a local designer who turned national fashion prodigy with her clothing line, Austin Jade.  Samuel Cole Salon and Salon Moxie stylists, Cara Harrison, Kelli Sintay, Nikki Galloni, Michelle Scaraglino, Ellen Geenty, Erin Shebaugh, Carolyn Nord, Sara Beard, Nichole LuMaye, Britt Crane, Jess Duncan, Ashley Collins, Yvette Cannas, Maria Lemons and Kristina Weeks prepared the models hair and makeup at the salon and were on site at the photo shoot to do touchups.  Hair and makeup for Murray and her assistants was also done at the salon.  “It was exciting and a little crazy having a film crew on site filming us as we worked,” commented Cara Harrison, Salon Moxie Senior Stylist. 

“We have an ongoing working relationship with Jade, having worked with her during Raleigh Fashion Week & Strut 09 and her Fashion Rocks Camp.  Our salons are always  eager to assist her in her projects.  She is a pleasure work with”, remarked Maria Lemons, Salon Moxie Director.

“In shooting a reality show I am allowing the world to see what really goes on behind the fashion “seams”.  The show will be based on my life and the crazy world of fashion.  I hope to inspire young designers, artists, and models to go after their dreams in this great industry.  I choose very carefully who I work with, especially now that I am in front of the cameras, and I knew the salon that would have me and my models camera-ready and flawless without a doubt – Samuel Cole Salon & Salon Moxie,” said Murray.

“It is a tribute to our very talented stylists to be the “go to” salon for Jade and her brand, Austin Jade.  She is a shooting star in the fashion industry and it is exciting to be a part of that,” said Joelle Ray, co-owner of Samuel Cole Salon and Salon Moxie with her husband and Master Stylist, Jack Ray.
