Got your calendar yet?

Thursday, January 6th, 2011

We’re almost a week into the new year (happy 2011, everyone!), and if you’re writing appointments down on scraps of paper or have a sad, dusty outline on your wall of where a calendar used to be, we hope you’ll consider buying the VAIN Loves Vera 2011 calendar. If you haven’t heard about it before, here’s the scoop: the calendar is a look at the history + hairstyles of music (as re-created + styled by VAIN, of course!), with all proceeds supporting Vera’s all-ages music + arts programming. Only $15 at VAIN + online through The Vera Project. So now every time you have a birthday or meeting to jot down, you can think, “I am a patron of the arts, and I think this girl groups of the 60s picture will be my inspiration for my next party updo. Or maybe hair metal. It’s a toss up.” See? Scheduling, arts-supporting, and hairstyling tool all-in-one.

Visit either VAIN location to pick up your VAIN Loves Vera calendar, or visit the Vera Project online to order a copy. Thanks for supporting a great organization with your purchase!

VAIN Loves VERA 2011 Calendar

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

Your wall called, and it wants you to put this calendar on it.

VAIN is so excited about this and we hope you will be, too. Starting this weekend, our “VAIN Loves Vera” 2011 wall calendar will hit local stores, with all proceeds benefiting The Vera Project, Seattle’s groundbreaking all-ages music and arts venue.

The calendar is a 12-month glimpse at the history and hairstyles of music as seen through the creative forces at VAIN. It’s got hip hop, punk rock, glitter rock, classical, hair metal and more, with a special tribute to famed NYC nightclub Max’s Kansas City (pictured above on the calendar cover) that features members of Seattle’s music and arts community, shot by famed photographer Charles Peterson. The calendar also includes images by mega-talented photogs Curt Doughty and Peter Kearns, with hair and styling by VAIN.

The project was definitely a labor of love for us (making it a benefit for Vera was the easy part!); music is a huge source of hair inspiration for both VAIN clients and staff, so we wanted to represent each genre right. No strand of hair was teased, sprayed, gelled or curled without thinking about the artists who inspired the looks with their sounds and style. We hope you’ll like the finished product and support a great cause in the process.

Look for the VAIN Loves VERA calendar at VAIN, The Vera Project, Sonic Boom Records, Easy Street Records, Pretty Parlor, and Georgetown eatery Smarty Pants. It will also be available for purchase online at www.theveraproject.org. Huge thanks to everyone involved in making it happen!

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

Must be the season of the witch… and the bat: this Saturday, Oct 30th at VAIN downtown we’re celebrating Batcave Day, our annual tribute to the darker side of art + fashion and the spookiest time of year.

But this isn’t a standard Batcave Day, dear VAIN Blog readers + trick-or-treaters. This year we’ve got a little something up our sleeves (our long black sleeves, or course) for everyone:

Get 25% off all purchases all day long. Good towards jewelry, art, hair products, stationery, wigs, you name it.*

Join us from 3:00 – 7:00pm as we unveil “Darker Than Thou,” a Batcave-themed art show featuring works by Rawkson, Lindey Ivey, Fable and Fury, R Land, and Michael O’Driscoll, with spooky sounds by VAIN’s own Batcave Day overlord, DJ Eli Blu.

Candy for everyone. ‘Nuff said.

So there you have it. A day filled with art, darkness, and discounts. Not to mention that the VAIN staff tends to get gothed to the nines for Batcave Day, which itself is something to behold. We’ve already started practicing.

See you Saturday,

VAIN
Bringing Batcave to beauty since 1996

Batcave Day happens at VAIN downtown from 9:00am – 9:00 pm this Saturday, Oct 30th. 2018 1st Ave @Virginia, Seattle. But it happens in our hearts all year round. ♥
