Bethanie is a wife, mother and versatile talent as both a Celebrity Hairstylist, ( 22 years of hair.) As well as a Personal Style Expert, Host, Author and Interior Designer!
She has had decades of interviewing and chit-chatting while styling! Conversation is what put Bethanie in a natural Talkshow Host position, but her creativity, vision, unique style, flair for home design, and passion for vintage finds has brought a variety of Style business, and accolades her way, and has also expanded into making her a respected, televised Style Expert. Although, her gift-of-gab forced her ventures as a host, it's been both between Bethanie's time traveling and volunteering in humanitarian efforts, paired with her unique eye and natural knack for styling has brought forth an obvious call on her life to give back through the gift of both Personal Style, and Home make-overs.
Thanks, Haley!Whether Bethanie is sharing the stories of Celebrities with her audience, or the touching stories of those having come through extreme challenges, she shines in the role of making-over both their living space, as well as their dressed-for-success look!

She says "It's all about the story. Styling is a gift for them, but sharing their story is a gift for us all. It's all about changing hearts!"

Bethanie's love of conversation and written word, has met her passion for encouragement, and also inspired her to write her first Children's book, making her a popular, budding author with her book
A HORSE SAYS NAY, BUT A UNICORN SAYS YAY"
