Toledo Magazine: Hairshow Explosion

With hair as their canvas, some of Toledo’s finest stylists showed off their skills at the third annual Hairshow Explosion on Oct. 23, 2011, at Collingwood Arts Center. The scene at the sold-out show ranged from chic to exotic to futuristic and in some cases downright scary, as the stage was taken over by dancing aliens and desirable divas with whacked-out ’dos.
