Hot Hair: Summer Style

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

Straight from the VAIN Mirror photo booth we’ve got a summery Hot Hair style for those of you looking to take your bobs to the next level.

Nice bangs, nice smile.

Stylist: Cassie

Client: Sara

Cassie says: Sara had been growing out an inverted bob and wanted more of a “longer cut” to help with the transition. She wanted something fun that she could wear straight or wavy. We added layers and gave her new bangs.

True story: Sara had a two-hour drive to get to VAIN.

Side view.

Way to show some style dedication, Sara! Looking good.

Looking for a new look or a transition from your current cut? Give VAIN a call at 206.441.3441 downtown to book an appointment with Cassie or one of our other stylists.

Hot Hair: Dramatic Dreads

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

Client: Lisa

Stylist: TT

The Look: Extreme Dread Makeover

Before...

After!

Dread Master TT did a cut, color, and maintenance to make this magic happen! Who says dreaddies can’t switch it up and have fun too? The cut transformed Lisa by taking off length and shaping her hair into a slight inverted bob. She also took a leap by going from blonde to a gorgeous copper red.

Call VAIN today to set up an appointment with TT! Downtown- 206.441.3441 OR Ballard- 206.706.2707. Click here to check out the VAIN Mirror and more awesome styles by your favorite VAIN superstars!

Hot Hair: Ch-ch-changes!

Client: Josh

Stylist: Bash

The Look: Short and sweet

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.
