Dallas Business Journal
 Thank you to the
Dallas
Business Journal for featuring HairBoutique.com founder Karen
Shelton in their 12/29
Best
Business Decision column.
Karen Shelton's best
business decision was the hiring of a corporate hairstylist who visits
both HairBoutique.com & T&S Software the first Monday of each
month to provide complimentary haircuts for all employees. Karen was
quoted as saying this was the best business decision because it saves
all the employees personal time and distraction. It also shows
special appreciation for all of the employee's contributions to both
companies.

Let
your hair down
The
follically challenged Nick Galvin recommends a good hairdresser &
here is what he said about HairBoutique.com
"Hair
Boutique.com"
"Delving deeper into the
realm of the tonsorially obsessed, we arrive at Hair Boutique.
Dedicated to "banishing bad hair days", Hair Boutique
occupies the more offbeat end of the hair spectrum and features the
strangely compelling Hair-o-Scope, which gives astrological
prognostications about the likely state of your hair on any given day,
and an article on how to stop pulling your hair out, by the distinctly
dodgy-looking Dr Howard Rosenthal. Don't miss Jerky Flea's Celebrity
Hairspray, a freewheeling bitch-o-rama about the hairdos of the rich
and fatuous."

Need a dress, date for prom?
By Tom Bray
News-Leader
How many once-in-a-lifetime experiences involve
corsages the size of Maine lobsters, periwinkle ballgowns, undercover
teachers armed with walkie-talkies, rented waistcoats with paisley
cummerbunds and purple punch spiked with warm Zima?
If that describes your wedding day, I'm deeply sorry. We're talking
prom night. Step off the dance floor for a moment and peruse these
prom-ising sites:
?Teen.com has a one-stop prom site, including teen journals,
embarrassing prom stories, ideas on hair and gowns and an updated prom
poll. It has everything but the 800-number for a good bailbondsman.
www.teen.com/prom.html
?More Big Night advice is available at PromNight.com, plus Patty the
Prom Pro. P the PP will answer questions about etiquette, apparel or
planning, but will not offer hangover cures or legal advice.
www.prom-night.com.
?If you spend more time tending to your hair than to tending to your
relationships, go immediately to Prom Hair Countdown. It will help you
craft a 'do so perfect your date might actually mention it.
www.hairboutique
.com/tips/tip129.htm
?Choosing a prom dress can be a problematic equation. Straps or
strapless? Tangerine or lilac? Modest or
go-home-and-get-yourself-dressed daring? PromDress Home can help you
choose by showing off this year's hot designs.
www.promdress.net
?If you're putting on this year's prom and you need help ? boy, are
you in trouble. But if you're putting on next year's prom, try the
Prom Planning Network. Their experts can help plan prom menus,
tickets, transportation, fund-raising and much more.
www.proms.net.
?If you're too shy to ask your elusive love to the prom, try the
Cyrano Server. Pump in the pivotal information and it will pump out a
poetic, eloquent e-mail that could be compelling enough to win the
hand of your most admired. Or be mistaken for the Love Bug virus and
swiftly spiked.
www.nando.net/
toys/cyrano.html.
?And if you're home alone in your rented Armani because everyone said
"get bent" to your prom invitations, spend the evening with
Julio Iglesias. "Julio's Prom-Planning Calculator for Boys,"
is a snotty little satire of the high-living crooner, with calculated
categories for "sensual gifts," "fine motorcars"
and "collateral material." Using the Faux Julio's formula,
the prom should run you about $460,000, give or take the convertible.
www.chickenhead.com/julio
Now get out there and make like Freddie and Britney. But be home by
midnight or Dad will take back the SUV.
