The Dry House Nashville has also been known to give Britt some glam from time to time including a high-sleek pony. She also works with Parlour 3 to achieve her hair looks. Jason’s signature suite and cowboy is put together by John Murphy while Brittany works with Cherie Kilchrist for her jumpsuit look.
