Even during these crazy COVID times, love wins — and we’re going to celebrate that today!We could not be happier to be celebrating a beautiful newlywed who has been part of the PENZONE family since 1998, Liza Benedict Johnson. The wedding looked a little different from what we’re used to, attendees were spread apart and wearing masks whenever they weren’t sitting, but that didn’t stop anyone from having fun (or shedding a few happy tears), and it certainly didn’t stop the bridal party from looking + feeling incredible.Joining Liza is Kyong, a Senior Director + Hair Artist at PENZONE Salon + Spa Dublin who has had the opportunity to watch Liza grow into a beautiful young woman over the last two decades.
