Valentine’s Day 2012: This is how we did it.

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

We love a good holiday at VAIN Beautyworld, and Valentine’s Day is no exception. Here’s how it went down this year:

Everyone was talking about stylist Kellianne‘s amazing cherries & chocolate color ‘do on her client April.

Our very own Valentine (that’s his name. It counts.) gave a new client a sweetheart of a haircut at VAIN’s new West Seattle salon & boutique.

Assistant/future hair star Dylan got into the V-Day spirit by the product wall at VAIN Downtown.

And over at VAIN Ballard, Cassie delivered a gorgeous, dare-we-say-it romantic (yes we dared!) cut and color.

Overall, a pretty sweet day. Hope yours was, too.

XOXO

VAIN West Seattle Update!

Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

Exciting news from the Westside: VAIN West Seattle is lookin’ good and is on track to open this winter as planned. The space, located in the heart of the Alaska Junction (where the liquor shop used to be, and no we can’t sell you a fifth of vodka), has been undergoing a major transformation since being completely gutted. The renovation charge is being led by none other than VAIN founder + styledriver Victoria Ptak and a hardworking crew, so you know it’s going to look cool. Stay tuned for more info!

VAIN West Seattle will be located at 4513 California Ave SW, right by some of our fave local small businesses. Can’t wait to get your VAIN hair or shopping done? Visit us downtown at 2018 1st Ave or in Ballard at 5401 Ballard Ave NW. Check back here or follow VAIN on Twitter (@vainbeautyworld) for the latest on our big move out west.

BIG VAIN NEWS: VAIN is coming to West Seattle!!!!

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

You read it right: VAIN is opening a salon + boutique in West Seattle this winter. The salon, to be known as “VAIN West Seattle” (and affectionately as “VAIN Westside”), will open sometime this winter and feature a mix of current VAIN hairstylists and new talent, as well as a large boutique area.

VAIN founder and styledriver Victoria Ptak, who herself lives in West Seattle, said, “I love West Seattle’s strong community spirit and commitment to building a vibrant, inclusive neighborhood. I couldn’t be more excited about VAIN joining such a great collective of local businesses and having the opportunity to contribute a bit of spice to a part of the city that already has a lot of flavor.”

She also added, “West Seattle is off the hook.”

Yes it is, and we are SO, SO thrilled to become a part of the action. Stay tuned here and to VAIN on Twitter (@vainbeautyworld) for updates, job openings, and a sneak peek into the style transformation the space we’re moving into will undergo. What– you thought big change was just for hair?

Westward + xo’s,
