The Modern Matchmaker and Izzazu Salon, Spa, & Serata made the ideal couple to host “A Soirée of Style.” The invite-only event, held at the salon, was an evening of matchmaking and makeovers. Guests had the opportunity to meet with stylists and owners of Izzazu, Emilio and Gino. They offered personal consultations and discounted first-time bookings for new clients. Select clients of The Modern Matchmaker were given complimentary makeovers that included skin treatment, makeup application, hair styling, and cut and color, in addition to fashion consultation, with looks provided by Doncaster and Charles Spiegel for Men. New clients also had the chance to win a complimentary three-month membership to The Modern Matchmaker and a gift basket from Acqua Blu Medical Spa. Other prizes included a “closet audit” from Doncaster, gift cards to Capital Grill, and gift certificates to Eyetique. The grand prize of dinner for two at Capital Grill, limo service, and tickets to the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra were given to winners of “The Perfect Date Contest.” “The subtle presentation of fashion and personal image consultation was an added feature, with generous prizes and swag bags for guests to enjoy,” says The Modern Matchmaker Director of Business Development Lori Czekaj. “I hope that this event will serve as an expectation of standard for future events we present.”
