November 5th from 3-6. Free “mini-services” for our beloved clients (think threading, flat ironing, kids do’s, bang trims, neck trims), food, drinks and music. We will be holding a raffle and a silent auction. All proceeds from tips to raffle ticket funds will go to the Art Therapy Institute of Durham http://www.ncati.org/index.html

Raffle prizes will include great gift certificates from downtown Durham businesses (and us): Scratch, Toast, Old Havana, The Retreat at Brightleaf and more. Silent auction will include something great from Full Steam Brewery, a basket of indulgent Davines products from RPSS, just to name a couple. Please stop in and help us raise money while getting a little something done for yourself!

We have room in our little family for one more stylist. Is that you?? We do offer training, but because it is approaching the holidays (BUSY!) we are looking for someone with experience. Please drop a resume by the salon.

It’s been a little while since we’ve blogged. That’s because we’re really busy!

Appointments are filling up a week out. Especially if you need a color appointment, please call in advance- it will be much easier to get in. ALTHOUGH: you can always call to be put on our cancellation list, or see if anything has opened up for that day.

Beer: Now serving a Baltic Porter with smoked grains. In about a week we will have a heather ale with NO hops! I’m guessing you can’t say you’ve tried that before! We just finished off a raspberry peppercorn beer, which everyone loved.

Threading: We now offer threading! Come in for just a threading appointment (should be very easy to book last minute) or add it on to your service. It’s quick and NO HOT WAX! That will be Yumi making your face hairless.

New Stylist: Yumi will be our newest stylist starting October 19th- she is finishing up her training now. She will have a special “introductory” period and price. $25 for cuts for about the first month. She will also be easier to get in with last minute- yay for that!

Art: Our next show will go up 3rd Friday in October. There will be a post with all the details coming up. But we will of course, be in full Halloween swing. Come in now for really affordable art by Nat Russell and Mark Taylor.

Maternity Leave: Jenean will be going on maternity leave October 15th – January 16th (or somewhere around that date). Appointments are all filled, but again, you could get on the cancellation list. Jenean is expecting her 1st BOY due December 3rd!!

is back for May! Doesn’t it just scream spring??

Come see beautiful pen and ink drawings from the Bay Area’s Jon Carling. Reception held April 15th from 6pm to 9pm. Food, drinks, music.

We would love to welcome Amy to our little hair family. She will be rocking you with her cuts and colors, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Cuts are $35, and color is the same as our usual pricing. This is making same day appointments and walk-ins more available.

Now showing in our gallery- dog paintings by Oakland artist Brian Brooks.

Well, December 5th 2010 marked our 1 year anniversary and business hasn’t slowed down after the holidays! Great news for us, but that means clients may need to book a little more in advance- especially for color services. Also, we are now carrying the Davines Glorifying System for color treated hair.

We are really excited about the art shows we have planned for 2011- Brian Brooks from Oakland CA will be showing from February to April. Come see his show “Dogs”, we’ll be posting info about the reception later this month. And Jon Carling, Nat Russel and Leah Bell to name a few others.

As for beer, here’s what we have to look forward to: a winter wit full of cardamom, black pepper, coriander and setsumi orange peel. A nut brown ale, one last winter ale (with vanilla bean, clove and cinnamon stick) and basil beer will be back in the spring.

Come in and try our Belgian Dubbel! Also serving: Barley Wine and a Star Anise Amber Ale.
