Introduction
Although Ken and his crew had been busy working "behind the scenes"
at his new
Hollywood Hair Salon on Robertson for several months, it wasn't
until September 29th that everything was finally ready for the Grand
Opening which was a spectacularly successful event.

No surprise there. The salon is drop dead
gorgeous and all the guests are beautiful, famous and
fabulous.
Ken and his team along with help from Jessica left no
detail unattended to for the many months they worked on
getting the salon decorated. In fact, one of the
very first purchases made for the salon was a set of
antique teacups that Jessica helped Ken pick out.
For those who know him well, Ken's priority is always
about helping those in need. The celebrity studded
opening party, at Ken's insistence, had a very special
guest of honor.
Her name wasn't Carmen, Eva or Jessica. Instead
it was 14 year old Rachel Nasruti who Ken met
four years ago in Detroit. Rachel suffers from the
genetic condition known as
Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) which makes her skin
extremely fragile.

Ken has been aggressively supporting Rachel's cause.
He took the opportunity to invite Rachel to travel from
her home in Detroit to his salon opening where his
Beverly Hills staff styled her hair.
Ken also took the opportunity to have his celebrity
friends, Eva, Jessica and Carmen to auction off their
signed photos, along with Ken's, on EBay to raise money
to benefit
BefriendEB which raises money for Epidermolysis
Bullosa.
When I asked Ken about Rachel's visit, he told me
"beauty is not only one dimensional, like the photos or
images you see of my clients in magazines or on TV".
He noted "the true beauty of these women which has
inspired me is the beauty that you have not seen, a
beauty so deep within. Rachel Nasuti is that standard of
beauty".
Repeating Paves Salon History
Joining Ken, his beloved mom Helen (who flew in for
the event along with the entire staff from his Detroit
salon) were many of his long time "girls" and celebrity
clients including Jessica Simpson, Carmen Electra and
Eva Longoria.
Jessica and Carmen were repeating history with their
appearance at Ken's salon opening. The two stars
also were with Ken for the opening of his first Pave
Salon in Clinton Township, Michigan back in 2002.
Jessica and Carmen made a special trip to be on hand at
the opening of Ken's first salon and told the press how
much Ken had done for both of them over the years.
It was a big deal for Detroit when Ken's two long term
bombshell clients - Jessica and Carmen - showed up in
town for the opening of his Pave Salon & Spa.
Jessica and Carmen told the media during their
Clinton Township visit that Ken had done a lot for both
of them and that they were just returning the favor.
