Being a resident at New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week, Frank has the tools he needs to make sure that never happens.

Being inspired by not only the beauty of people, but the world around her, Jessica has found it easy to call Aveda a lifestyle. Not only does she love her craft, she is also determined to impact the lives of others. Jessica's precise attention to detail keeps her creativity flowing and a smile on her face.
