Hot Hair: Natural Feathers

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011

Since we first told you about the feather extensions we offer at VAIN, we’ve put all sorts of colors into our clients’ hair- hot pink + teal blue, electric yellow, you name it. But today we’d like to share the softer side of the feather extensions craze: natural-colored feathers. These feathers are un-dyed or only subtly colored, creating a more organic look and even blending into your hair.

Don’t think you can add natural-looking texture and layers with feathers without adding crazy colors (or, um…being a bird)? Take a look:

Clients: Various, foxy, feathered.

Stylist: VAIN’s reigning feather queen, Kelly

The look: You make me feel like a (natural-colored feather extensions) woman

Short + sideswept

Blonde + curled (that's right, curled!)

Long, layered panel

Want to get in on the feather extensions action? Give us a call at VAIN downtown- 206.441.3441- or VAIN Ballard- 206.706.2707 to learn more and make an appointment. Stay feathered, Seattle!

Hot Hair: Extensions are magic.

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

You’ve heard it from us before: extensions can transform your hair in incredible ways. They’re great for adding length and/or volume, but they don’t always get enough cred for what they can do with color [Editor's note: have we ever told you about the time we added baby blue extensions to a bride's hair to match her wedding color scheme? True story. But back to the extensions at hand]. Here’s a great example of extensions added for color coming straight outta VAIN Ballard:

Client: Gretchen
Stylist: Lucie
Type of extensions: Great Lengths

Can’t quite tell which parts are extensions? That’s the magic. Lucie explains:

“Gretchen wanted funky color without having to pre-lift her hair or worry about colors bleeding or fading. I colored her hair in panels of red shades and put in bright red violet, crazy red, and peach extensions on top. The extension colors are really what made the big transformation.”

Like we said: magic.

Get some magic of your own: call VAIN downtown at 206.441.3441 or VAIN Ballard at 206.706.2707 to schedule an extensions appointment or free consultation with Lucie or any of our other extensions specialists.

Feather Hair Extensions at VAIN!!!!!

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

We’re offering a new service at VAIN that we knew would be hot right away: feather hair extensions. That’s right: feather. hair. extensions.

Clients: Various awesome ones (pictured from top: Alicia, Chloe, Kristy, Kayleigh)

VAIN Stylist: The one + only, mega-talented Kelly

The Look: Feathers in hair!

The Details: These ain’t no clip-in pieces: the feathers are real + secured to your hair with a tiny bead, a method that requires no glue or heat- the bead basically acts as a barely-visible clamp. They last for about a month or more (or less if you just want them for a special occasion) + can be washed, dried + even gently flat-ironed or curled along with the rest of your hair. Removal is quick + easy. Here’s the best part: they only cost $25 for the first bundle of 4-5 feathers + $15 for any bundles after that, including cost of having them put in.

Kelly says: “I’m going to make everyone look like a swan!”

Needless to say, we’re loving this look. So what do you say, Seattle? Who’s up next?

Feathered hair is hot hair! Get your feather extensions done with Kelly or one of the other VAIN stylists who offer this service at VAIN downtown. Call us at 206.441.3441 to make an appointment + find out more.
