John Frieda seems to be ubiquitous these days. In addition to Sunday’s cut-a-thon that kicks off his HAIRraising campaign here (read more on Page 21), the John Frieda Style on Site tour, a joint project with BCBG, will be hitting the Shops at the Prudential Center’s Boylston Plaza tomorrow through Sunday. A team led by celebrity stylist Harry Josh will offer free 15-minute consultations and styling lessons out of a specially equipped 18-wheeler; visitors will then get “prescriptions’’ for John Frieda products and have a chance to shop a BCBG mini-boutique with a special discount. Appointments are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Find hours at www.johnfrieda.com/salontour2010.WHIMSY ON NEWBURY
