Hairapy.

blog written by Marc (Junior stylist at Hairroin Salon)

A client friend of mine by the name of Andrea, turned me on this article on how society is pinching their pennies in more ways than usual. Think about all the times any of us have spent in a therapist's chair venting, crying, trying to search for those answers to life and after a 3 hour session and $400 later, we ask ourselves is it really worth it? Well in these tough economic times people are turning to different alternatives to healing their woes. When women and even men sit in the chair at the salon they are getting more than just "getting their hair did." In recent months clients whether it be in the hair salon or at a day spa getting a massage, people are opening up themselves more than before. Whether its a relationship problem, work or finances we (hairstylists) are definitely a lot more aware of this recent trend. Personally I think its fantastic that clients are trusting us in the customer service industry with more than just an awesome hairdo, but of course whatever happens at Hairroin stays at Hairroin.

Sebastian ReShaper Hairspray.
I love this on damp hair?? ya i know it sounds crazy, but its awesome for that super wild blowout! Use it with heat like a blowdryer and round brush or curling iron for tousled movement. I use it to scrunch hair too... yes i did say scrunch hahaha

bargain style

blog written by Marcy (Master Stylist at Hairroin Salon)

My very favorite thing to do in the whole world is thrifting. On our drive up north, we got to stop at a few stores. I looove thrift town. It is in northern California and one in vegas. They are a little bit like savers. Anyway, we stopped in one I'm San pablo and I scored some xtra cute gold owl glasses-8 of the. Solo cute. Then we went to a hospice thrift store in placerville and we found 3 new chairs- one vintage modern, one from the 50's and one wood folding chair with a knealing thing on the back, I think for a catholic priest or something- but its cool. I got two 70's hawaiian dresses. So cute.
anyone who goes thrifting knows you win some and you loose some- this time I won for sure.now I'm on the look out for some red wing dishes in the lute song or Tampico pattern... Let the collecting begin...

a walk on the beach.

blog written by Reyna (Junior Stylist at Hairroin Salon)





I helped Luis with the 2nd part of a photoshoot job, It is for a cosmetic packaging company who is refining there image.
I went to our model, Vonda's house. She live in a gated community in Newport. I got lost getting there. Stupid maps told me to turn on a street that didn't run through. So I was stressed and a lil late getting there. I feel like I always get lost.
I got set up hot to work. Luis and Dana the photographer were very organized and had looks and story boards so it was easy.
I smoothed out Vonda's hair, it was still a little damp. Then I wrap curled everything going the same direction. Did not pin anything because we wanted pretty soft waves. Nothing that looked done or stiff.
The girls on make up were super sweet. They did a great job. Kept it a lil Smokey and sexy but nothing crazy.
Vonda changed into her dress then we were off to meet Dana at the beach. We car pooled over.
Vonda has two kinds and a husband that came along to enjoy the fun a photo shot.
Dana was all set up ready to go by the time everyone else arrived. She worked fast, I think we got what we were looking for. Vonda looked gorgeous on the beach the day was beautiful out.
It was a lot of fun, I can't wait to do more shots like that in the future. The only pics I got were on my phone. It was a great spot Dana found.

home sweet Hairroin

blog written by Marcy (Master Stylist at Hairroin Salon)

I'm just driving home from my San francisco work trip. Aaahhh i5. So I work in San francisco for a few days every two months at a salon called cowboys and angels on union square. I love the crew there and the city is still an amazing place to me. You can dress however you like and even if you look crazy someone will give you a compliment. No joke. You can walk everywhere and you'll see something beautiful. I stayed with my friend michelle's in the mission. I got to drink coffee at fays video store and coffee shop and get croissants at tartine. Delicious! We ate at delfina and had bi-rite icecream. It doesn't get any better than salted caramel ice cream.
working at cowboys is always a good time. The stylists are really talented and fun to bearound. David just got back from australia and he was working with an agency doing hair and on vacation. I saw some pics - really cool. Brandi just started making hair oil for hair that is super dry and frizzy. I hope she makes enough for us to sell at Hairroin one day... I'm trying to talk some of the staff up there into working at Hairroin part time too. Spread the love I always say...the staff at Hairroin would totally inspire them and vice-versa. We do so many fun things at Hairroin that are not available in San francisco- such as magazine shoots, tv and movies. They would love it!

I miss San francisco- but i found a. New home down here in Hairroin... I'm glad I still get to tap into that one too...

stevie ryan, reyna, popsicles and photoshoots.

blog written by Reyna (Junior stylist at Hairroin Salon)
I had the pleasure of working with ms. Stevie Ryan.
We started our day, I started on hair. We watched you tube, the crazy pageant moms, entertaining but sad to think that there are parents out there who really need trophies and awards to prove their kids are adorable. I went through and curled all of Stevie's hair. Monica and Kristy showed up shortly after. I kept working as Monica started on make-up.
We had way more wardrobe than we had time to shot, hopefully we can do something again really soon.
We headed to our location, fabric district. Our first order of business was to find something to make a big floppy bow. Next we needed a wall. We found a good wall. There was a nice man that let us use his Popsicle cart next to the wall. We wondered through the different fabric shops, had a great time.

It was a Beautiful day. We all met at Kristy Sparrow's house. She was the photographer for the day. Monica Alverez was doing the make up. I was doing hair. We had wordrobe from B.T.F.L, Art and Brandon. Our models were Zach and Asia.
The day could not have been better. We were running on time left the house to go on location by 11am. Art and Monica kept the laughs going, we all had a great time.
This are some of the shots of the crew and the models.

Continued Education.

blog written by doug (Junior Stylist at Hairroin Salon)


One of the many things I love about the Hair Industry is that there is so much opportunity for continued education and self growth. I feel very lucky to be in a salon where each individual stylist has a passion
(or obsession) to learn more and understand more about the workings of our trade and apply it to our everyday salon life. I'm proud to know that I can say this without a doubt!

On Monday March 23rd our Salon Hosted a small gathering of educators
from the Sebastian team to share with us different techniques and concepts of cutting hair. Three educators taught and presented their
cuts, concept, and finished product via live models for us. After they presented us with their Gallery collection of styles, we broke for lunch only to come back to live models of our own to practice what we learned that very morning. It was a very intimate and eye-opening experience for us. Each one of our Hairroin stylists took something new and different that they learned and physically applied it to their own skill set and presented their project to the rest of our group when finished.- yeah, we're hair nerds- we tend to geek out on hair!- But we look good doing it and bring it home so you can look good too!

photoshoot for Effie Liu

blog written by Beatrice (Senior stylist at Hairroin Salon)

I helped my friend F.E put together a photoshoot for her new line of mens clothing. She designed a line of really clean modern looking clothing, scarfs, and a little caplette. I was really impressed to see her finished products! I brought fellow Hairroin addict, Noel Nichols to do some simple mens grooming makeup and i styled model, Matthew's hair. The photographer, Rush is one of F.E.'s friends. It was so nice to have a team of all friends working together! We started our shoot off in Downtown, LA where we took some studio shots against a simple grey backdrop. Our second location was in Silverlake where we shot on the balconies of an amazing old brick building.
I'll update with the finished shots as soon as i get them in. Here are some behind the scenes photos.

3D nail art

part 1: blog written by Dani (Front Desk coordinator of Hairroin Salon)
So, what happens when you mix Hairroin Addicts and AWSOME mani. pedi's together? You get Marie Nails. Just another one of La's best kept secrets, and trust me, Marie's is just that! The nail boutique, which resembels a cute little house, is employeed with the nicest staff, ever. As soon as you walk in the door, youre greeted by the entire staff, so cute!! You can enjoy anthing from a casual french manicure and pedicure to off the wall glitter acrylic with amazing japanese nail art. Currently, my addiction is a seafoam green nail polish on my hands and toes, and on my pointer fingers, i have an icecream cone with vanilla icecream, and on the other finger i have a cupcake surrounded by multi colored jewels! YES! thats right, i have sweets, on my fingers. CRAZY! Everytime i go to check out a client, people are grabbing my hands asking where i get my nails done, and im constantly passing out their cards. Its amazing just watching the girls sit there and make all these awsome little treats out of gel..This place is my treat to myself every 2 weeks, and trust me, i prebook all my appointments right before i leave.Hm...i wonder what my next design will be, your options are endless..oh the choices!!! So, wether youre looking for a realxing day at the nail spa, or some intense nail art, i HIGHLY recommend Maries, I give you my word, you wont be disappointed! So what are you waiting for .. GO!
part 2: blog written by Shondra (Manager of Hairroin Salon)
No doubt about it...Dani has told the truth. Marie Nails is where its at. For 4 hours a month this is our escape. We get to enjoy a relaxing mani/pedi with the greatest variety of designs amongst the friendliest staff. It isn't easy trying to decide what your fancy of the day, or should I say 2 weeks will be because there are so many awesome colors and designs to choose from. Right now I would have to say my forte is spicing up my usual short natural black nails with a color of choice and design on just one finger. This weeks manicure I decided upon yellow (my favorite color) topped off with a cute black bow with white centers. As for the toes...ALL yellow baby... a nice compliment to my cupcake tattoo on the left foot :-) Oh yea, my manicure is always topped with a gel overlay!! You are practically guarenteed no chipping in between appointments with this, not to mention how SHINY they look!!! There is no saying what I will decide on for next appointment but I can guarantee it will be AMAZING. To take a sneak peek at this wonderful nail art check out the picture of Dani and my this weeks creation and stay tuned for all the updates!!
