Patrick styles Arianne Zucker for the emmy's.

blog written by Patrick (Senior stylist at Hairroin Salon)


For Arianne Zucker’s Daytime Emmy look, I started with Sebastian Thickefy Foam at the root and Stylixir through the ends. I gave her a classic Hairroin Foxy Blowdry. Then using Haute Hollywood Locks I enhanced her length. I shampooed and preset the extensions on one inch bender rollers for a soft natural curl pattern. As I put the extensions in I used an Enzo Milano conical rod to blend the extensions with Ari’s hair. The end result is a voluminous cascade of soft curls.

Macy's Passport Fashion Week

blog by Marcy (Master Stylist at Hairroin Salon)
Janine and I are off to San Francisco to do the Macy's Passport Fashion show next week . Then we will be bringing the whole Salon Hairroin team together for the Southern California version. We are doing two days in San francisco and two days in Los angeles. We are taking over from di Pietro Todd salon in San francisco. They have done this show for 7 years and are passing the torch to us. This is a giant show for us. This show is a fund raiser for AIDS. They have raised millions for the cause in the last 10 years. Despite budget cuts the show will still go on! As a hair dresser we have a big job ahead of us. We have over 90 models and dancers to prepare and that is not including any talent that needs last min. touch-ups too. We have 5 hours to make the show beautiful. This is going to be really fun and a crazy challenge. I am a excited to see the hair we get to do - I hope for really fun and foxy! My next blog will be all about this and I will include some pics... wish us luck and go buy tickets and check it out!

Viv celebrates one year of Hairroin.

blog written by Viv (Junior stylist at Hairroin Salon)
This month marks my one year anniversary as a stylist at Hairroin Salon. And it's been one of the best year's ever. I love the stylists I work with and have learned so much from each and every one of them. One of my favorite things about Hairroin is that we are constantly learning, whether it's learning new techniques or just perfecting our current skills. As a salon we also do so much more. We host art openings once every three months, donate services to LAYN and do hair and makeup for fashion shows and photo shoots. I am happy to be a part of such a great, amazing and talented team.

Janine in Modern Salon magazine

I just came across this interview online and decided to post it. This article was featured back in January in Modern Salon magazine. Back in January Janine put together a hybrid of burlesque and hair stage show for Sexy Hair concepts. Nowadays Janine's hair is now long and brunette, and she traded up to working on the Sebastian Professional artistic team, but her interview is still very "janine".


Celebrity stylist, salon owner and founder of Haute Hollywood Locks, Janine Jarman teams up with Kitty Burns and Tristann Ford-Gordon in Sexy Hair’s The Girly Show, a platform presentation with grrl power.

My hair right now: A bright blonde, heavy-fringed bob.

My style: This season, a little Mary-Kate Olsen meets gothic Lolita.

My favorite outfit: My black puffy corset skirt with fuzzy chandeliers that I got in Japan; two white undershirt tank tops with the neck cut out; my Chanel earrings and my Christian Louboutin heels.

The Girly Show’s look: We stay loosely themed with our styles so that we look cute next to one another on stage. This year, we are going to play up the international school-girl vibe, in a fun, fast-paced, costumed, full-out burlesque review of updos and hair styles ranging from Marie Antoinette to punk rock to geisha.

My favorite accessories: Brooches! I have an amazing Anna Sui velvet bow with a magnet dangling from it so you can put whatever you want on it. I have my salon logo on it.

My “play” style: Fun and comfy. I love ballet flats and handmade knit hats. I also have colorful vintage scarves and lots of long necklaces and big bangle bracelets.

I can’t live without: Large plain white V-neck T-shirts and my long black knit sweater with oversized buttons.

My mentors: Donna Federici, former vice president of Sexy Hair, taught me to be fearless, let nothing and no one stand in your way and be sure to help others as you go. Michael O’Rourke took me under his wing and made me a better hairdresser and person. And my grandmas, who have been the voice of reason and a cheer squad rolled into one!

I’m a hairdresser because: I love to see people transform and feel beautiful in their own skin and hair (or hair for purchase if need be). It’s the best thing to feel great about yourself, so if it takes some highlights and bangs to get you there, I’m happy to help.

Why The Girly Show: The majority of hairdressers are women and it would be nice to see girls in the spotlight for a change. I’m so over in-depth hair cut demos from men dressed in black. Last time I checked, I got into doing hair so I could have fun all the time. The Girly Show is about keeping it real, looking cute, feeling great, having a kick-ass time and walking away inspired.

Wednesday Night Classes

blog written by Doug (Junior Stylist at Hairroin Salon)

I just want to give Marcy Harmon (our master stylist/ teacher extraordinaire)
kudos on a great bob class last night.

A few of us in the class "tested" last night on our models. This means that after a few weeks of intense focus on learning a certain way of cutting a haircut through varying degrees of input and help from Marcy-we get to do the cut without the training wheels, and then have Marcy go through it section by section and critique our work with a final pass or no pass. The
3 of us came very close...but no cigar!

Upon checking my cut, Marcy could have easily overlooked one or two minor fixes that I needed to do to make my cut perfect. Proudly, I have to say that Marcy does not compromise the value and excellence of her craft! Where someone else would have buckled and let "good enough" settle,
she upheld her proffessionalism.
Thank you Marcy,
Your my Hero;)

gold vs petker. fashion show

article originally posted on Juxtapoz.com

Jarred Gold and Joshua Petker Fashion show!

The event took place July 30th at Club Social Hollywood- it was a collaboration between Designer Jared Gold and artist Joshua Petker, two humans i really admire! So i was flattered when Jessicka asked me to help host the event along with a ton of other super cool hosts , DJ's and entertainers (see list at Jareds website ). As a host i was required to hang around and drink Mohito's, I thought that could handle that! The only sucky thing was that i forgot to bring my camera with a flash so i only got really crappy photos of the event!!! I appologize in advance-

Always On The Cutting Edge – Coco Moto Chanel

Written by Mattfromotm (friend of Hairroin Salon)

Karl Lagerfeld has been mentioned in this blog quite a few times. He is a fashion GOD. At the Chanel photo shoot on Rue Royale in Paris, Chanel released their new press kit (an old café racer style bobber) I saw it here first Bikeexif.com . Not sure what the add was all about, but custom motos and fashion usually do not go together however it is officially pulled off in this pic. Kudos to Karl, and whom ever built this beautiful café racer (Chanel logo back fender).

Just pretend you can’t see the prop up training wheels holding the bike up.

Wella class

blog written by Reyna (Senior stylist at Hairroin Salon)
At Hairroin Salon we have classes on wed nights. A few months ago we had a color class and the winning team to complete the task won tickets to a Wella class at the studio. Myself, Doug, and Robyn were put on a team together and did the best overall job, including teamwork.
We recently got a chance to attend the class. It was an all day hands on class, Cut and color. We got split in the morning, half did cut, half did color and then we switched after lunch.
I got to do color first. I was so excited. Our instructor was wonderful, Color blending was the color technique we were going to be exploring. Color using the natural shaded of Wella to make natural rich looking color that still has dimension and versatility. First we talked about technique. Two basic concepts were being taught and you had the choice to pick what you wanted to practice. Both techniques required maximum 10 to 18 foils. We got to chose the color placement we wanted to use, keeping in mind we needed to give it a hair cut as well. Doug did the diamond placement, I chose to do the horseshoe placement, I kept it off set. It was really great techniques. They both utilized 3 varying shades of brown to give dimension and movement. First we had to pre lighten the hair (doll heads don’t color the same). The instructor had a wonderful technique utilizing the back of her hand as a balayage board and worked quickly with precision. Hear color placement working with foil had the same concept and she never layed in any hard lines, everything was made to melt and blend. I learned so much in technique. I love that all the concept that were being taught were open for interpretation. Everyone was encouraged to be creative and use the concept to create your own unique look.
Lunch was fabulous then we got into cutting. We stuck to the concept of movement for the cutting as well. Incorporated shape over shape cutting techniques. Disconnection with structure was the focus. Removing weight in the hair so in can move and have a shape that wrapped to the head and balances the features of your individual clients. Precision cutting was definitely the instructors specialty. Classic shapes against drastic lines and other classic shapes. Amazing concepts. Again This theory was being taught and everyone was encouraged to make their own spin on things. It was very inspiring to see what other hairstylist in different areas are doing and being inspired by. I came away with some great concepts. I have been having so much fun utilizing these wonderful bits of information.

prom.

blog written by Reyna (Senior stylist at Hairroin Salon)
It is my cousin Victoria’s senior year in high school. So that means senior prom. I got a chance to do her hair and make up. We meet up the week before the event so I cold color her Hair and she could show me pictures of the styles she was wanting. I had to see pictures of the dress she was having made. It is a pretty peach color that she did not want to clash wish her auburn hair. So I did her color a cool chocolate brown with some lighter mocha pieces of brown and added some black low lights to add some movement to her layers. And I cut her hair too.
The next saturday I came over and did Victoria’s Hair and make up. I got this really cute rhinestone bow bracelet from the salon for her and we ended up putting the bow in her hair. I just did some soft curl, and pined half up. She just wanted a simple smokey eye.
Victoria looked so great walking out the door.
Victoria sent a few pictures She said she had a great time.

The Seduction of the shave

blog written by Luis (Senior stylist at Hairroin Salon)

The shave has Simply Romanced me. Its the glide of straight razor over the chiseled features of a nervous man that invokes a sense of superiority. I think it started with the lack of male attention in my youth. I remember trying hopelessly to get through the passage of Manhood; clutching a plastic blue razor with bloody spit wads adorned delicately across my jaw. I remember trying to understand what razor burn really was. i just knew that shaving hurt, and it was totally annoying having to do it every morning. Then when i rushed the process and shaved with bar soap, i understood all to quickly what the burn of a razor can felt like. Being raised by women has ensured i can hem my own pants, launder my clothes, and prepare a Hot savory goodness that eases my hunger.
My shaves today are different. They have evolved into a ritual. Shaving has become a time in the morning when i can Honor myself and salute my face with a dangerous blade. The Straight Razor drips of testosterone (or maybe thats blood) and ensures the the beard is sliced off with the lightest touch and sharpest precision. It also exfoliates the skin better than most scrubs or face washes. A Straight razor shave allows your skin to breathe in a way that you've never felt before. It almost feels like when you go to the mountains and Breathe in fresh Air for the first time. You think to yourself
"Wow,This is.. So pure, So Clean. it almost hurts "
