HAPPY HALLOWEEN...

Happy Halloween from all of us at Static Salon!
HAVE FUN

ALONG THE WAY...

On October 17, 2010 Static Salon and Friends joined 30,000 other people for a little walk around the streets of LA to raise money and fight against AIDS.

Along the way we saw others just as passionate as we were to be walking on this most incredible day. The energy that was created by 30,000 people of all ages was unlike anything that could possibly been imagined.

No one walking knew the where the other 30,000 walkers were from, what there background was, what kind of a house they lived in or how much money they made annually.

But we all, for one afternoon were connected by something that matter more than all that stuff. We were all out, walking in the rain for 6 miles, to fight for people that we may never meet or know. We were fighting for others to live a longer life, we were fighting for health, we were fighting for loved ones living with this disease and in honor of loved ones that have passed on. We were walking because we believed in something greater than ourselves. In one afternoon 30,000 Los Angelenos' hearts came together for one great cause and in the grand scheme of life...there is nothing more special or more moving than one giant group coming together in LOVE.

Along the way...we had fun too!

We posed for pictures

We cheered with the crowd

We smiled the entire time

We drank lots of water

We joked around and connected with each other

We remembered how much we love each other

We totally bonded

We showed pride for our team

Along the way...a little piece of us changed. We became just a little bit better people.
Thanks AIDS Walk! We had a blast.

Check out the next blog post for more on Team Static!

THE HEART & SOUL

Team Static was was unbelievable with the amount of Heart and Soul and Passion that went into every step taken at the Los Angeles AIDS walk.
Before the walk actually started Team Static met up (well most of us...Alex and Roland met us at the start line) for a pre-walk "tailgating" (minus the cars) party. We had some muffins and got each other energized about the walk.
Meet the amazing Team Static...

Sandra...One of Static's biggest fans! Sandra is a HUGE support to Static in all that they do, So, it was no surprise when Sandra Signed up to walk with team Static. Thanks Sandra, We love you.

Callie and Swan...We were all super excited when Callie signed up to walk with team Static and when she said she was going to also bring along her husband Swan. They were super fun to walk with. After all this time of Callie being a Static client it was fun to meet her husband.

Joe, Tina and Bri...the Static Salon Owners all walked as well.
House...One of Tony's good friends walked team Static. He was a fun loving guy with a ton of heart and a great addition to our team.

ALEX, ALEX, ALEX

One reason why we love Alex is because he is ALWAYS trying new things.
Alex is already an amazing hair designer and has such a creative and artistic eye for all things beautiful. He recently has become fascinated with make-up. Alex has spent tons of money buying a growing his HUGE make-up kit and spent a million hours reading, watching videos, getting instruction from other make-up artists and practicing make-up application on anyone who he can get his hands on.
Recently he hooked up with a photographer and a model and did a complete photo shoot...just for fun!!
The pictures came out beautiful. It was the models first time in front of the camera and Alex did an amazing job on the hair and the MAKE-UP!!!

Great Job Alex!!! We love you!!!

ANOTHER SUCCESS...

THE BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT DOES IT AGAIN...

For as long as Bri has known Lindsay, she has always had such beautiful hair, its full and she can do it curly and straight. But now that she lives in Texas with her husband and cute baby girl she is having more trouble with all the frizz because of the heat and humidity in Texas. Plus, being a new mom makes it difficult to dedicate so much time to doing her hair everyday. So, on her last visit to California Bri told Lindsay to come into Static and get the Brazilian Blowout done, to help cut out the Frizz and save time on day to day styling.

She is officially IN LOVE!!!

(this is before the Brazilian Blowout)

(This is Lindsay after the Brazilian Blowout)

This is Lindsay ALL smiles...totally excited about the results of the Brazilian Blowout!

Thanks Linds, for coming in and playing with us at Static Salon! We loved having you! Cant wait to see you in November for your next Brazilian! LOVE YOU!!!

Static Salon's, Tony, Does the newest Paul Mitchell Commercial

Mr. Tony...

Tony always is doing awesome work...but this week we actually caught the good work on camera!

Ms. Julie is a FUN one! Each time she comes into the salon she gets something totally different. This is her new "symmetrical" haircut. I love the color too! She sure is sassy!

Mr. Nicholas...He is our jet setter! This one is always off to Paris or off to Proge. But when he is in the states he graces us with his presence and gets his locks maintained with Tony.

We all at Static love the both of you (Julie and Nicholas). We have SO much fun every time either of you are in the salon.

Tony...you rock, as always! You are such an amazing and talented hair designer!

Midsummer Night on Melrose

It all started with a Balloon...

It was a warm summer night and all along Melrose HUGE red balloons filled the night sky. Each balloon represented a store on Melrose joining forces to create an evening of friendship and fun. Within each red balloon adorned store were visions of smiling faces enjoying a good deal or a BBQ or champagne. In good ol' Static fashion, we hosted what was dubbed, "COCKTAILS AND CUPCAKES" (check out the next blog for all the cupcake pictures)

In our infamous courtyard, Flouvog Shoes hosted an array of activities including the ever so fun, hosted by Static Salon, guess the amount of perm rods, game. We got many many guesses and our winner was only 30 perm rods off. (we can continue the fun...how many perm rods do you think there are???)

And...last but certainly NOT least. Here are just a few of the Static Lovers. We are a little upset because we did have many more lovers show there pride, but we all got caught up in the fun that we forgot to keep taking pictures. But to all you out there that came to play with us that night, know that we love you and we has so so so so so much fun with you!!!

All in all, the Midsummer Night on Melrose was a hit for Static Salon! Thank you again to all our fans, to the Static Stylists and to MAMA and all the businesses along Melrose for making this night so much fun!!!

Oh...the cupcakes!!!

There were so many people taking pictures of our fun cupcakes that they really deserved their own post.
We made these little guys for the Midsummer Night on Melrose event. We had fun making them and even more fun eating them. Tina and Joe made the little StaticSalon signs and Bri...and her mom (must give credit to the mom) made the cupcakes!

We sure know how to party at Static Salon!

These little chocolate minis were for the Flouvog event in our courtyard.

The big colorful delights were inside the salon
