It is seen as more than just another event or hair show but rather one that can honestly say it has opened new doors for more tourists to visit the Virgin Islands (VI). Communicating with Ms Jamison via social media she told this news site that when contacted and invited by Hymen Husein to be the chief judge for the show it was the first time she had heard of the Virgin Islands.

“I did not know about the BVI until I got the invitation to be a guest judge. I am very excited. I learned about the BVI hair show from Aymen Husein. I expect to see fabulous hair styles and models. Participant,organizers and patrons can expect me to be a very capable judge and fair. I have judged many contests/events,” she said.

She said that the single most important thing that would cause her to return to the VI would be that she would have had a wonderful time and enjoyed the people involved. “I really do not know how I will spend my stay. I think Mr. Husein may have some plans,” she said.

She further added, “The BVI can have a great show and I know it will be great from the pictures I saw of the show last year.”

Style BVI 2014 promises to be the show ‘extraordinaire’ with the most popular, class and creative hair salons and hair dressers putting out the best of their creative side. The doors open from 4:00pm today at the UP’s Cineplex Ballroom and the show kicks off at 5:00pm.
