From Combat Boots & Parachutes to Business Suits

Atlanta (August 2003) - Thirty-one year old Porter Laster, founder of StylistOnline.com is no stranger to traveling, relocating or changing stylists. As a recent former service member and paratrooper for the U.S. Army, he has been around either on official business or leisure from Bosnia, Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Africa, Turkey and all over the United States. One thing for certain about his travels is the need for a good stylist.    

There are 300,000 salons and more than 1.5 million licensed salon professionals working in the beauty industry. In medium size cities you could normally find three hundred or more salons and barber shops listed in the phone book. "Like most people I've had my share of bad experiences. I gave up on the phone book a long time ago because its time consuming sorting through all the listings."    

After being reassigned from overseas to Fort Bragg, NC in 1998 he start his search to find a good stylist in the area. "Word of mouth is okay, but what if you are new to the area or just visiting and don‘t know anyone?" After several weeks he finally found a barber that met his needs. "I remember telling him how I wished it was an easier way to find a good stylist without the hassle." A few months later his barber relocated for better opportunities and the search for a new stylist began all over.
