Kirkland’s GEM Salon invites you to switch up your look in 2012.

“Hair style is the final tip-off whether or not a woman really knows herself,” Parisian designer Hubert de Givenchy told “Vogue” in 1985. With this in mind, Kirkland’s GEM Salon invites men, women and children of the Eastside to stop in for a visit — and possibly leave with a completely different look.
