Hot Looks Salon 1988

The Neon Girls - A One-Woman Digital Sitcom by Casey Dressler

Why it worked

Summary

A comedic sketch set in 1988 at "Hot Looks Salon" where a client requests a glamorous makeover. The stylist uses press-on nails and a Conair hairdryer to transform the client, referencing popular 80s TV shows.
