Matt “The Mane Tamer” Taylor Totally Owns

Matt Taylor, winner of a 2008 D Beauty Award for his mad hair skills, has some new responsibilities on his plate. The blow-out king is now an owner at Orange salon in Deep Ellum, where he got his start in 2002. Taylor will continue to cut and style at Orange, as will former owner Todd Allen, which means some things will stay the same. Other things, however, will be getting an overhaul. One exciting change is an expanded retail presence in the salon. Jason Lenox of Anteks Home Furnishings—and an Orange co-owner with Taylor—will focus on bringing in new products. Expect candles, cards, gifts, and bath and body goods. Sounds like ShopTalk heaven, doesn’t it?
