MyBestFriendsHair.com Matches Chicago Women With Their Perfect Stylist
CHICAGO, IL, Feb 28, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Chicagoans care a lot about their hair. This is the clear conclusion from the tremendous local response to MyBestFriendsHair.com, the popular website launched last July that has quickly become the Match.com for finding a perfect hairstylist. Incorporating unbiased reviews about hair stylists and information about hairdos and hair products, MyBestFriendsHair.com has grown overall more than 300 percent in unique visitors just since January, according to Janell Shaffer, co-founder and CEO. The site, the only one dedicated to matching customers with stylists based on specialties, has experienced over 250 percent growth in the last month from the Chicago area alone.
Shaffer is in town to attend the America's Beauty Show at McCormick Place, one of the nation's leading conventions for the beauty industry. "Hair is an industry that doesn't decline, even in a recession. In fact, during the worst of the recession -- from 2008 to 2009 -- this industry grew by 8 percent which is remarkable," she stated. "But people in Chicago take this to another level, based on the terrific response we've seen here."

"My New Year's resolution is to start wearing colours, and with this I just wanted to do something simple and classy," she explained to People. Vanessa also recently swapped her longer hair extensions for her naturally shorter 'do.
