What Not To Wear: $50,000 Dream Wardrobe
This is the biggest and most extravagant What Not to Wear ever! Lisa, a New York record executive, has a style more suited to a music video than her boardroom. She dresses to turn heads and she does - but for all the wrong reasons. Lisa is happy in dresses over tanks and jeans, character outfits, and as many accessories as she can fit into the mix - so her friends feel she could be schooled in the finer arts of dressing.
Stacy and Clinton will have to show Lisa how to dress with more chic and less shock. And what better than a shopping trip to Paris and a budget-busting fifty thousand dollars to buy the dream wardrobe? Nick Arrojo and Carmindy cross the Atlantic to temper her wildly distracting hair and accent her hidden features. Can this monster budget and the haute couture shopping experience of a lifetime push Lisa into the unique world of high fashion?

Lisa's Hair and Makeup
Nick's Hair Process:
1. The first step was to remove the burnt orange color of the bangs on the top surface of the hair, using Wella Color Touch.
2. Once rinsed out and shampooed with System Professional Color Saver shampoo, Nick gave her a deep conditioning treatment with System Professional Hydro Mask to detangle and moisturize.
3. Then he combed and sectioned out the top section of hair, cutting in a structured shape throughout the sides and back and finally dropping the top layer down, freely chopping into the texture to create a looser, freer texture.
