In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns is joined by Patricia Uterwick, owner of Venue Salon and Aveda Salon and Spa, and her colleague Joel Bryant, a stylist and inventory specialist. Recorded at COhatch in Downtown Lakeland, the conversation focuses on an exciting new community event: Inspire, Lakeland’s first-ever collaborative hair show.
Patricia and Joel share their passion for the beauty industry and the creative “itch” that led them to create Inspire. The show is designed to be a high-energy, theatrical performance that moves beyond the everyday routine of haircuts and color to showcase the true artistry and imagination possible within hair and makeup design.
Whether you’re a seasoned stylist, a student just starting out, or simply a fan of local creativity and entertainment, Patricia and Joel’s vision for Inspire offers a glimpse into a vibrant new side of the Lakeland art scene. 50
