Hot Hair: Before and After

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

The VAIN Mirror digital photobooth at our downtown salon is great for capturing that “apres ‘do” look, but we don’t get as many before-and-after shots as you’d think. So imagine our excitement to see this major chop captured in VAIN Mirror infamy!

Client: Jennifer

Stylist: TT

Look: Chopped Chic

Bonus fact #1: Jennifer wasn’t planning on cutting her hair off when she first came in. This was a spur-of-the-moment, walk-in appointment!

Bonus fact #2: Jennifer plans to donate her cut hair to Locks of Love.

Before: long + lovely

This just happened.

After: look at that style! Look at that smile!

Big VAIN salute to Jennifer for such a bold style transformation on the go, and for doing it for a great cause to boot. We love that you went for it and that we could be part of it. You make our Mirror look good!

You do, too! Thanks to everyone who explored + switched up their personal + hair style at VAIN this year. We’re looking forward to seeing what 2011 brings to all of your looks.

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!
