Hot Hair: Hero Hair Edition

Monday, May 17th, 2010

When VAIN heard that client Linda was looking to shave her head to raise funds for kids with cancer, our hairstylists lined up to donate their time. First in line? TT, who’s known for her skills + style on the salon floor. Check out what happened next:

Before. Stylist meets shavee.

During… there it goes…

After. Stunning!

The funds Linda raised from family + friends towards getting her head shaved went to St Baldrick’s Foundation, the second-largest funder of childhood cancer research grants in the US. Not letting any good hair go to waste, her ponytail went to Locks of Love, and her hair clippings were added to VAIN’s donation of cut hair to help absorb the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Now that’s what we call a good haircut.

While VAIN loves a bold hair change for no reason, this buzz cut for a cause left us feeling warm all over (and is it just us or does she look really, really good with her new look?). Thank you, Linda, for asking us to be a part of it!

The sun is out and no color catches the light better than a vibrant red! Red makes a statement on it’s own, adding the black gives contrast and accentuates texture in any haircut.

Anything from deep mahogany to fire engine red, Carissa’s got you covered! Call VAIN Ballard at 206-706-2707 or VAIN Downtown at 206-441-3441 to set up an appointment.

Hot Hair: Hot Buzz

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

It’s not every day that VAIN stylists get the chance to work with a completely blank canvas and sculpt out something drastically different. The other day I brought in my good friend Bekah, who in need of a change, came in to see Aubrie for a cut.  The result is both daring,  fun and a little Wendy O. Williams inspired (The Plasmatics anyone?).
