Hairstyist Reccomendations and Referrals

[imoldfashioned]

Hi--

I'm in the midst of growing my hair out but I think I've finally got the length to get a short middy cut. Since I'd like to work with someone who understands the "vintage" mindset I thought I'd ask if any of you Boston ladies have a stylist that you'd recommend. I work in the Back Bay area but I'd be willing to drive if necessary.

Thanks!

I personally recommend anything in Northampton. Yes, it is an hour and 1/2 away, but there are some excellent salons there, and the entire town is dedicated to preserving that vintage feel. There's also a wonderful salon in Chicopee if you're interested. My cousin owns it and refuses to work on anyone under the age of 35- 40 because she says "they want all those new fangled hair do's... "

I wish I lived closer to her. She's the only person who did my hair for years!!

Have you contacted Marcella from Hollywood Ultra? http://www.hollywoodultra.com/

I've been out of town and offline for a couple of days, so forgive my lateness in sending my thanks for your recommendations ladies! I love Noho (I went to college in the Valley) but it's a bit far for me to drive, alas. I dropped Marcella at Hollywood Ultra a line to ask about her services. Have you seen the description of her Pin Up class in July? I'm really tempted to go. If I end up getting a cut I'll let you know how it goes.

I didn't know she was doing classes! Tell her Heather from Thru the Keyhole sent you

Hi Heather,

I'll mention your name when I see her. I probably won't be able to get to her 'till the middle of July (I had no idea I was so busy until I tried to make an appointment!).

The class sounds really great (more info below), hope I can make it there.

Best,

Sarah

Hairdressers in Dallas/Fort Worth??

Hi all,
I'm looking for a stylist in the DFW area that fosters the whole vintage hairstyle philosophy. I know there's a couple from Texas on the board but dang it, I can't find any of their posts.

Does anyone know of any stylists local to me?


Cheers and thanks!
Jen

Rubyredlocks on here does vintage hair. She's in a salon over in the Lakewood area of Dallas. I've talked to her a few times about some help with my hair, but I'm in west Fort Worth so it isn't exactly close for me, but you might contact her!

 

[JustJen]

Will do, thanks! I'm off to PM her!

For my fellow texas girls:

How about a little how-to hair party at the salon? Maybe on a Saturday early evening or Sunday tea-time.
I'll show a few hot roller sets.(You can apply the same principals on a wet set)Rolls,and the triple roll. (Ft.Worthgal-you'll be surprised at how much can apply to short hair as well)
I'll provide spirits and snacks as well.

Should be a fun little get-together,let me know if you're interested!

Oh,and so I don't confuse anyone,this offer does not include haircuts,shampoo,or blowdries,but is free of charge and just a fun excuse for a meet-n-greet!

 

[fortworthgal]

I think that sounds like a fun idea! My schedule is pretty full most weekends, but I'd make time!

 

[ITG]

Same here. I'm interested but will need some notice, as I may be having to use my weekends with my mom to plan a wedding. But I'm totally up for it. The only time I can't on the weekends is Saturday mornings due to a class I am taking. I think that ends mid July though.

 

[VintageJess]

Oh, I am so jealous that I am so far away! You ladies enjoy yourselves--it sounds like a great time!

I, for one, would love to see some photos and examples!

Jessica

 

[JustJen]

I'm in! Let us know the details and we'll do it!

 

[rubyredlocks]

Hey Girls!
I'll be out of town all this week,but will check out my schedule when I get back.
Let's go with a sunday,so we don't have to worry about other clients if we get a little too girly and giggly.
I'll post a few dates to choose from with plenty of notice for everyone and we'll go from there.
If someone has a digital camera Im all for taking pics for our other Fl sisters.
Ya'all will be with us in spirit!

 

[fortworthgal]

We have a new digital so I'll be glad to bring it and photograph the proceedings. lol

 

[rubyredlocks]

Hi Ladies,

I'm so sorry that I didn't plan this sooner since I am going to have to postpone this event indefinitely.
I've just started suffering from morning sickness (I don't know why they call something that lasts ALL DAY "morning sickness") and feel that my concentration level isn't what it should be.
I'll let you gals know when I'm feeling better and we'll go from there.

Thanks dolls!

 

[fortworthgal]

Morning sickness?

Are congratulations in order here?

 

[ITG]

Congratulations, ruby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No worries, I'm in the middle of planning a wedding and have been pretty caught up with that this month.
