Behold William: VAIN assistant, future hair superstar. In addition to assisting VAIN hairstylists with clients and helping our downtown salon run smoothly (no easy task), he’s on the verge of becoming a licensed stylist himself and unleashing his hair skills and passion for personal style on the world. He recently did hair at a fashion show benefitting The Ruby Room (pictured above), and you’d think he was famous by the reaction his high-impact updos got. It just goes to show you: that person shampooing your hair at the salon or assisting with your blowout could someday be the next best hairstylist you’ve ever had.
The Ruby Room is a non-profit organization that helps under-privileged students look sharp for prom and encourages volunteerism. VAIN fashion hair pros Aubrey, Megyn, and TT also volunteered at the benefit, with waxing specialist Belinda leaving the wax pot behind for a day to pitch in on styling. Check out a Seattle Weekly slideshow for more pictures from the event.
Gorgeous! William has been helping out in Ballard, too, and in addition to all the normal tasks bestowed upon an assistant, he re-created our window displays, organized the entire backbar, and used his skills as an artist to make signs to keep things in the right place. We LOVE HIM!!!
I love working with William! He brings so many smiles out here at VAIN. Congrats on finishing school (soon)!!!
AWWWWW!!!! thanks you guys! it helps to be working with amazing, talented, passionate people. I am so grateful to have this opportunity!!!!

I want to give a special thanks to Belinda for letting me come and do hair for the show, and Megyn and TT for being so FREAKING AMAZING.
