Helping designers/models, especial the young ones, build confidence and recognize the value of their creation, while preparing the “frame” to highlight the art on the runway, are part of the magic of the green room created by the stylists who give their time.

2024 brought together 4 fabulous hair stylists from Badlands Hair Studio, Kiersten Rowles, Karl Yates, Jonae Schoen, and Lylly von Hurst. These stylists worked their magic quickly and creatively, with a focus on making each model and garment stand out. Kiersten, Karl, Jonae, and Lylly, as part of Badlands Hair Studio, are committed to the environment dedicated to fighting beauty waste and climate change. 

For the first time we had a student led makeup team. Holland Rhodes, a senior at Realms High, led the team of mostly high school makeup artists. Their rapport with the young designers/models from all over Central Oregon helped create a supportive experience for all.

Thank you to the fantastic stylists who created a fun, supportive atmosphere and fashioned the fabulous “frames” essential to a professional looking show!
