April 23-25, 2010 (RALEIGH) - Long time Raleigh salon owners, Jack and Joelle Ray, and their salons’ stylists debuted at The Southern Women’s Show in April.  The exhibit which was designed to be a mini-version of their two salons, the award-winning Samuel Cole Salon and Salon Moxie, captured top honors for Best Exhibit.  Visitors were treated to a “world class” salon experience, the customer service hallmark of their two salons.  Stylists from both salons were on hand to give guests a complimentary mini-updo and product/hair consultation.  Each guest received a complimentary gift bag with special offers.  Visitors could also register to win prizes consisting of a “Day of Beauty” from Samuel Cole Salon and Salon Moxie and baskets full of Oribe, Bumble and bumble, and Aveda hair care products.

Supporting their on-going commitment to community involvement, Samuel Cole Salon and Salon Moxie also hosted “Dip Your Paws for a Good Cause” benefitting the SPCA of Wake County.  For a $1.00 donation guests received a decadent Chocolate Paraffin Hand Treatment.
 

“It was an absolute joy to meet and greet so many people and introduce them to our salon culture.  Visitors loved the chocolate paraffin hand treatment and mini-updos.  Wow, was it busy; the services were very popular.  Miss North Carolina even stopped by.  In addition, we were able to raise over $800 for the SPCA of Wake County.  It was fantastic to see our team in top form,” said Joelle Ray.
