Parlour & Juke

521 8th Ave South Suite 302

Nashville, TN 37203

This past weekend, I finally got my butt over to Parlour & Juke salon and barber shop. What an experience! My best pal has been with Owner/Stylist Cali Devaney since before this dream became a reality, so I've been hearing about it's greatness for some time now. Being the hair junky that I am, I've been dying to see Cali in action and check out the rad salon I've heard so much about. It was perfect. They also carry a few of my favorite product lines, including Kevin Murphy and Oribe. The staff, the vibe, the tunes, the design, the work... everything down to the smallest detail made this environment an experience.
Note: A few P&J stylists book out months in advance, so do your research and plan your appointments accordingly :)

What salon in your city do you always recommend? What makes that experience a good one? We'd love to check it out next time we visit.

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

May 9, 2012

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...

Throughout the building, there were random books out for inspiration

The Color Room

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.
