This post was originally meant to be about DeVille at Bella Salon, but it turned bigger than that. Sorry bud. No offense to the ladies, but I’m probably getting my hair cut by men from now on. They don’t even have to be gay. First it was visiting badass Vinnie of Proper Barbers LA, my “brother”…

Austin: You Know We’ve Made It When We Get a Blowdry Bar
Blo, North America’s Original Blow Dry Bar, is coming to Austin. That’s right, we’re now trendy and ritzy enough (we DO have a W, people) to have a salon dedicated to the blowout. I remember at 15 asking my mom’s stylist what a “blowout” was (because I read it in all the magazines, natch) and she…
Austin: Crystal Nails
Mama and I have long experimented with finding a good nails place — a place that was cheap but not dirty, easy to get in to but not scarily empty, and produced a decent mani & pedi. When we found Embellish (a post from before I’d even had a mani there), we were pretty much…
My Beloved Johanna to Bo Salon
My sweet, happy, pixie of a hairstylist called me earlier this week to tell me the happy news: she’s moving to Bo Salon! This is the woman who single-handed-ly changed me majestically into a blonde from a lifetime brunette without any tears or second-guesses. She’s a goddess of hair. And really good at cutting and…

Weekend Watch: free yoga, crazy marathoners, and grand openings
lululemon on 6th & Lamar does free yoga classes taught by rotating instructors from around the city every Saturday morning, but they’re usually way too early for me. This time, however, they’re honoring the two crazy Canadians who are running a marathon a day to help save the environment, and they’re gonna be there doing…
New You for the New Year
So I went “New Me” a little early for the new year thing, but I LOVE being blonde. It’s more strawberry blonde, almost reddish, but it’s a really fun change for me. You know I LOVE Pink Salon, but if you’re looking for something, well, more calm, you might try out Avant. A friend passed…

I looooove Pink Salon
I’m now a bit of a blondie! So I love Pink Salon. And I love my stylist Johanna. She calls me “lovey” when I come in. And she makes my hair absolutely stunning. I first went to Pink two months ago after reading all sorts of great reviews on yelp. Johanna did a great job…

Home Slice Carnival O Pizza Noon – 7pm The 3rd annual Carnival O Pizza hosted by Home Slice is this Saturday!…
