With so much happening in the wonderful world of
hair extensions, I’m astounded all the latest news
and views are successfully jam-packed into just one
issue. Sincere thanks to our Editor, the fabulous
Maria Weijers, for once again working her magic!
Racoon International is growing fast so we’ve been
x-tending (pardon the pun!) our team. I’m delighted
to introduce the contagiously bubbly Lisa Tebaldi as
Sales & Marketing Manager and the studiously
meticulous Fran Borton as Finance Manager; we’re
really lucky to have them both on-board.
We thought this issue of X-Tend presented the perfect
moment to give you an insight into their lives, loves
and guilty secrets, as well as the rest of our diverse,
dynamic management team here at Racoon
International HQ. Even I was surprised by a few of
their revelations!
We also have a private peek behind-the-scenes at
the photo shoot of our latest collection, White Noise.
Another triumph from our very own RAT Pack
(Racoon Artistic Team) under the expert guidance of
Creative Director, Stephen Messias.
And stop the press! Our new website is coming
soon, attracting even more extension-hungry clients.
We’re introducing loyalty reward points, online
ordering and even a new blog to keep you
up-to-date with news and views from around the
globe.
As ever, our Facebook before-and-after competitions
have proved really popular and with more than
25,000 followers this is a great way to raise your
profile – and even bag some goodies!
So here you have your very own exclusive magazine
from the number one in hair extensions. Enjoy!
Exclusive offers for our Racoonistas!
