applies this theory to search out the most perfected way your hair should be worn and gives hints on several alternate ways the same styling can be arranged. In creating a new hair design, Mr. Miller draws an actual portrait of style wanted before he applies it on his model. This laves several months of trial and error practices, in that he has a blue print of style to work by. At present, Miller has five originals completed which bear his own trade name, 'The Crescent Mould, 'Crescent 'The Clash Curl, 'The French Line' and the latter being a perfect back to' school style for Fall.

These creations have the personal endorsement of Robert Fianee, internationally known Hair Designer of New York.
