Tools of the Trade
Beauty gets high tech!
Ever since gender roles were divvied up, tools have been the heavy-duty objects of men’s work lives. Times have certainly changed. Women who now fill the dual roles of parent and hard-working exec don’t always have the time to fuss over a vanity or get a blowout at a salon. Thankfully, technology has advanced to bring the salon/spa experience home (or hotel room)—changing the way we think about power tools.
