AROUND (Y)OUR TOWN: A TOUR OF BUMBLE & BUMBLE (NYC)

DSC_9994roughedit
I was recently in NY with the salon I work for, Roots, for IBS (International Beauty Show). I took the extra time I had to wander around between Brooklyn and Manhattan, try on lots of clothes that are way out of my budget, eat lots of delicious food, visit friends and meet up with a few designers here and there for The Pinpoint Method. When I wasn't on my own watch, I was going on salon related adventures like touring the Bumble & bumble University. It was AMAZING! As soon as the elevator doors opened, I was in ultra tourist mode just snapping photos. Their branding is brilliant and carried throughout the Bumble building beautifully. If you are ever in New York and are a business owner, future business owner, creative, or just someone who appreciates art/design, you must tour Bumble & bumble. You will leave inspired.

Here a tiny peek...

The Cutting Room
Not shown, but they do have a private room for the rich and famous. Also, they had TVs above the shampoo bowls playing styling instructional videos. Smart.

I love the little touches of handwriting throughout the building

AROUND MY TOWN: LET'S PARTY


Hey it's Kelly! If you are in town next, Saturday the 31st, you need to be at Roots The Salon for our first anniversary party. Other than the fact that the salon, owners and stylists are badass, you want to be at this party because:

- Uchi is catering (and yes, there will be vegetarian options!)
- Double Trouble (one of our favorite spots) is providing tasty beverages
- Product grab bags will be available (hint: we carry Bumble and bumble + Kevin.Murphy)
- There will be a DJ and Brandi and I will be providing rad dance moves
- Shirts printed by Black Swan will be available
- It's a party. duh.

Anyway, if you're into fun and checking out local businesses, you should come!

I know some of you that know me must be confused. I have quite a few jobs, but one of them (and a favorite) is my job at Roots The Salon. It's not one of those joby jobs that you dread when the weekend's over. Everything, the owners, stylists, tunes, environment, right down to the clients topped off with a flood of natural lighting is perfection. I love every day i'm there. Here are a few instagram shots by Simon...
