Competing Salons and Boutiques

Spokane's Top Model is not just about the Models... Sure, there will be 40 aspiring ladies taking the runway on April 16th, but there is much more at stake. Spokane's Top Model is showcasing the Inland Northwest's top salons and boutiques as well.

STM searched all of Spokane and found 8 local salons, and 8 local boutiques who were eager to compete for the title of 'Top Salon' or 'Top Boutique of 2011'.

"There is no real medium for salons and boutiques to show the community what they are capable of. We are here to change that," said Kris Kilduff, Marketing Director of Spokane's Top Model.

On April 16th, 2011 at the Knitting Factory, each of the 8 salons will be designing hair and makeup for a group of 5 models. The 8 boutiques will be showcasing the clothing and accesories, giving each model a stunning Spring 2011 look.

Check out the website: www.spokanestopmodel.com to view the participating salons and boutiques.
