Keratin Complex Proves to be a CHAMP yet again!!!

This is Char...We LOVE Char!

When Char first came to Static Salon she told us that she didn't want color and only wanted to cut her hair and NOTHING else...well little did Char know that she was stepping into STATIC and about to sit in Jeffrey's chair and a transformation was about to take place.

Visit one = Haircut only

Visit two = (the very next day) Highlights and color

Visit three = Highlights and Color

Visit four = Color and Cut

Visit Five = Highlights, Color and KERATIN COMPLEX

BEFORE

We have so many people asking us about the results of the Keratin Complex, so, we are attempting to put as many stories of as many of our clients so that you all can see the before and the after pictures and the results of the Keratin Complex

Above was Char before the Keratin Complex

AFTER

This Keratin Complex is absolutely amazing and life changing. There really is nothing much else to say because the pictures say it all.

Char stated in an email to us right after her Keratin Complex Treatment, "I am sooooooooooooooooooo happy with my straight hair. Everyone loves it!!!!"

Again we LOVE you Char and we are so happy that YOU asked us to do the Keratin Complex on you! You truly are BEAUTIFUL!

Static Salon Does the Blvd....

So, in PURE West Hollywood tradition this year Static Salon Spent their Halloween up on the Blvd. (Santa Monica Blvd. that is) and although the 3 founders of Static had never experienced the Blvd on Halloween their trust was put in the hands of all the other West Hollywoodians around them. Also, in PURE Static Salon tradition, most staff members and many clients were recruited into joining the Static team in meeting up with the other 500,000 Halloween lovers on the Blvd.

Although we would have loved to take more pictures the excitement of Halloween combined with the many people rushing around left us forgetting to take more pictures...So, here are just a couple of the party people! (There were 14+ of us that went together)

Before the actual party we spent the day at the salon getting a bunch of clients ready for their Halloween parties as well as getting each other ready. Alex made Bri into a Geisha from hair to make-up...
Next year Static Salon will most likely have a reunion with the Blvd and plan on recruiting even more guests to join in the fun! Happy Halloween everyone!!!!

STATIC SALON OR FILM STUDIO...YOU BE THE JUDGE???

If you remember a few months ago, Static Salon was the host to ScissorBoy, an online instructional series for hairdressers that helps provide weekly episodes on all different hair dressing techniques. Three of these episodes were filmed at Static. At Last...one of the 3 episodes has been released.

Scissorboy Episode 44
Reverse Blending Technique Featuring Ivan Zoot
Clipper Guy is back in an action packed episode! If you cut hair in the professional beauty industry, 99% of the men's haircuts that you cut will be some sort of variation on the classic men's tapered cut. This cut takes 3 steps: back and sides are tapered, the top is layered and all blended together.
The blending is the hardest part of the cut, and Ivan shows you a "trick" technique called reverse blending, which eliminates the hardest part of the cut. If you get good at this, you can build business anywhere in America with solid haircutting skills.
This is what Ivan calls "classic barbering 101", so watch the video because you are in for a rare treat:

STATIC SALON....WHAT A SIGHT!!!

The other morning I drove my usual way to the salon, got stuck in the usual traffic at the usual spots on the freeway and then turned off Melrose onto Gardner as I usually do, but when I pulled to the usually broken meter in front of the salon, I didn't have a usual feeling! The sun was shining and the birds were chirping as I got out of my car I looked at the salon and felt so grateful and so proud. Static is a beautiful, fun, quaint, sassy, exciting and life changing place. I am so proud to be a part of this salon!

So, I decided to do the unusual thing...me and the salon, well we had a photo shoot. In all her glory, here she is.
This is the salon window seat, where else can you lean back, cozy up with the pillows and sip on your wine or coffee and chat with other clients and stylists all the while taking in the sun and waiting for your color to process??? I love this seat, many good stories are shared right here on this seat!

The Color bar, where we mix you up some sweet Paul Mitchell cocktails for your locks!

The Wash House where we indulge your senses with a relaxing experience that melts your cares away!

The Front desk (which we tiled ourselves) where you will always be greeted with a smile and probably a hug too!

The Steamers to speed your processing time up although we know you like to stay and play for hours on end, we also know that you have to work and pick up kids and do all the other things that life has to offer...

The front entry with our fun bench from the show Monster Garage (thanks Larry for this find), this also happens to be the photo shoot wall, many a photographer has walked by and asked to use this wall as a backdrop for their master piece.

The Iggy Pop shrine! How can you walk into the salon and see Iggy and not smile...

Some of the stations where the Static Stylists perform their magic and change peoples lives!!! This is where self esteem is created!!

For all those of you who have been to Static Salon before, you know what I mean when I said earlier that Static was an amazing place to be and for those of you that have now been on my salon photo shoot adventure, you are starting to see what a magical place Static Salon truly is!

WE LOVE YOU STATIC SALON AND EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR! IT IS A PLEASURE TO STEP INSIDE YOUR WORLD EVERYDAY AND HAVE NEW ADVENTURES WITH YOU EVERYDAY!!!

MEET GABBY

Gabby is one of our many Grove Guests (meaning she works at the Grove) This was Gabby's first time into the salon and when she called to make her appointment she mentioned that she wanted Green and Black hair. Right away we were totally excited! We matched Gabby up with Greg and magic happened....Gabby has naturally black hair and had never had another color besides black in her hair, so, when she wanted to go ALL out and get GREEN, we knew that it was going to be a process. Gabby stuck in there and at the end we were all totally excited about her transformation to FUN!!!!!

PLAYING WITH BROOKIE

We at Static Salon feel so blessed because we have such wonderful people around us all the time. Brooke and her boyfriend Kurt and their friend Scott, own ThinkTank (a graphic company located directly above us). We have become like family because we see each other everyday and are going through starting new businesses on Melrose at the same time. Every chance we get we steal Brooke to try fun things on her. Then of course we always make her pose for a picture as well. Thanks Brooke for being such a great sport...we love you!!!

p.s. for those of you that are looking for a really cool graphic guy and web designer (they did all our stuff) check out ThinkTank at http://www.thinktankdesign.com.au/

Certificate from the Mayor of Los Angeles

So...Joe, Tina and Bri have been to every community meeting that you could possibly imagine, from Police Breakfasts, to Melrose Action, to Melrose Buisness Watch, to Neighborhood Block Captain Meetings. You can basically say that we have immursed ourselves in our community and have loved every minute of it. The Melrose Business Owners and Melrose Residence have truly become our family and we love walking down Melrose everyday and seeing all of our new friends. We couldn't ask for a better community to open up a new business in. So, when we were presented with a Certificate from the Mayor of Los Angeles for our "Dedication to the Melrose Community", we were in shock because we love being involved so much.

We have proudly framed our beloved Certificate and hung it right by the front door!!!

Static Gets Models Ready for a Pool Side Fashion Show

This Fashion Show was for the ZGirls. The models were wearing custom bathing suit. All of these were pictures in the hotel room where we were getting the models ready (for all of you who have never seen the behind the scenes craziness that goes into a fashion show). The hair was done by Alex, Bri and Tina of Static Salon

KERATIN COMPLEX ON KARI

Kari Wuhrer hangs at Static Salon

In this posting we have two exciting things to share that are happening at Static Salon. The first is that we are offering a very innovative treatment to relax (straighten) and de-frizz even colored hair. The treatment is called the Keratin Complex Treatment by Coppola.

We are so excited to be certified and to perform this service in the salon. It is changing the life of many of our clients. They are experiencing great hair in less time every morning. Everyone who has indulged in this treatment has become addicted!

The Second exciting thing is that Static has a new friend, Kari Wuhrer. Kari is a great person and we had so much fun with her while she was in the salon. Kari is a well known actress and you can check her out at http://www.imdb.com/ and search her name.

This is our before picture. (we didn't even ask her to make this face...)

Another before picture of her from behind

And....Vola...Here is Kari after Bri and Alex finished the entire treatment on Kari

Look how soft, smooth and not frizzy her hair is. She is still able to get some body in her hair, but the treatment just makes her body more manageable. Kari will spend less time every morning and have better results with styling her hair.

We Love you Kari and are so excited we got to play with you for the day and for letting us have a little pre and post photo shoot!

For those of you that would like more information on the Keratin Complex Treatment, please call Static Salon at (323)782-3888. We would love to book your Treatment today and change your life for tomorrow.

LITTLE GIRL HUGE HEART

Meet Taylor!

Taylor is a little girl who has been waiting for a very very very long time to get her hair cut because she heard of Locks of Love and wanted to grow her hair out so that she could donate her beautiful hair to another child who is going through cancer and has no hair. Taylor's dad works by the salon and when the time was right, he along with Taylor's 2 brothers brought her into the salon for the BIG hair donating day!!!

This is the picture of Taylor's BEAUTIFUL, LONG hair before she got it cut...

We Let Taylor's Dad do the honors of cutting off that very large ponytail, Taylor looks a little nervous as her 2 brothers stand by watching and snapping pictures.Here is Taylor after the cut with her amazing ponytail and her certificate

Taylor is showing of the new "do" and cant wait to go swimming with her short, cute hair

What an awesome little girl. Static Salon was very excited to share this moment with Taylor and her family! We all learned so much from Taylor and her huge act of kindness. We love you Taylor!!!

ANDIS CLIPPER CO. & SCISSOR BOY COME TO STATIC SALON

Meet Ivan Zoot, Director of Marketing and Education for the Andis clipper company and the current title holder of 3 World Records in haircutting. I think that he should hold the title for "most energy" it is amazing how much energy Ivan had and it was totally contagious, we loved it.

Anyway, Ivan came along with the Scissor Boy crew to film 3 episodes of ScissorBoy.com for Andis. They did a traditional men's cut, a Mohawk and get this...a flat top.

Who in the world would ever model for a flat top...we tried every avenue possible to try and get a model...in the end Greg stepped up and took one for the team (WE LOVE YOU GREG)!!!

We also invited Future Professionals from Paul Mitchell the School, Sherman Oaks and The CAO Institute, a Paul Mitchell Partner School to come hang out with us for the day. They ROCKED and we had so so so much fun with them. We LOVE Paul Mitchell Future Professionals at Static

I think that this was the first time that the salon was actually "quite on set" is it really possible to have a salon be silent? But we had guests and people from the neighborhood coming in to snack on some goodies and hang with us for the day.

This is the FAVORITE picture of the day, right before Greg is about to get his first "clip clip" right off the front...

In all it was a GREAT day in the salon and it was so much fun to have a taping in the salon. We feel so honored that the Andis Clipper Company choose Static Salon to shoot their video. They are welcome anytime!!!
