This holiday season, giving back is in style with a bright and creative new partnership for an even brighter cause. John Paul Mitchell Systems has teamed up with famed jewelry designer Tarina Tarantino to introduce a new holiday collection of special-edition styling tools and gift sets designed in the spirit of Tarina Tarantino’s whimsical and nostalgic signature style. And in the spirit of the season, the company will donate a portion of proceeds from all Paul Mitchell® holiday gift set purchases to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, where Paul Mitchell CEO and Co-founder John Paul DeJoria is an active alumnus.

Special-edition Tarina Tarantino for Paul Mitchell holiday gift collections will be available in professional salons during November/December 2011.

Paul Mitchell Co-founder and CEO John Paul DeJoria grew up in an undeserved Los Angeles community, and during his youth, the local Boys & Girls Club provided a safe place to socialize, learn and grow. This year, DeJoria was inducted into Boys & Girls Clubs of America's Alumni Hall of Fame.

Todd is a wine geek (in the coolest sense of the word). And he’s done it all- a sommelier, established impeccable wine lists for fine dining establishments, imported and distributed wine, established and sold Lincoln Street, was a wine maker in South Africa…you get the idea. He enjoys introducing people to the world of wine, breaking through any self-imposed hoity-toity constraints. 

How did house.wine. come to be? One evening when trying to explain the difference between a Bordeaux and a California Cabernet Sauvignon, Todd compared the Bordeaux to an antique piece of furniture and the California Cabernet to a newer crafted piece. He had stumbled onto a whole new way of making wine more understandable and then established a link relating how people decorate their homes and they type of wine they enjoy.
