The Largest Independent Beauty Show in the Southwest to Be Held at
the Dallas Convention Center
AUSTIN, Texas--(Business Wire)--
The fifth annual Texas Beauty Show will be held October 26-27,
2008, in Dallas, Texas. Expected to attract more than 6,000 industry
professionals, it is the largest distributor-independent event in the
southwest United States. It will feature more than 200 exhibitors,
more than 100 classes for continuing education, and a Main Stage with
demonstrations from some of the industry's leading platform artists.

This year, Martin Parsons, renowned international educator, school
owner and platform artist will appear for the first time in Texas in
more than five years. Parson's fast-paced, entertaining presentation
will highlight the latest looks including fabulous finishes on short-
and medium-length hair as well as long hair up-styles for special
occasions. His finale will comprise a parade of elegant hair matched
with colourful and sumptuous gowns designed to inspire.

Also on Main Stage, Salon Source presents Anthony Morrison, a
Joico artist and 2007 winner of Bravo's Shear Genius. One of 12
nationally selected hairstylists who went head-to-head in challenges
that required more than just talent with a comb and scissors, Morrison
wowed judges with his execution and style. As the competition's
winner, he received the grand prize of $100,000 in seed money from
Nexxus and the opportunity to style hair for an Allure magazine photo
shoot.

"As the focus of the Texas Beauty Show is one of education, we are
proud to have two very talented and inspiring artists join this year's
Main Stage line-up," said Steve Farrer, executive director for the
Texas Beauty Show. "Each year, the show offers new exhibiting
companies, products, classes and artists for the benefit of beauty
industry professionals in Texas and surrounding states. I look forward
to this being the biggest and best show yet."

Exhibit space is available for just $950 per 10' x 10' space and
includes a table, two chairs, name plate, and 'pipe and drape.'
Advance two-day tickets are $60.00 for licensed cosmetologists and
barbers; $35.00 for students. For more information, including details
