Edward's Salon

Fashion week in New York is such an exhilarating time when the entire city seems to be buzzing with creativity and this year’s spring event was no exception. One of the newcomers Rad Hourani featured his latest collection for spring, Rad by Rad Hourani. This ready to wear unisex collection features items with clean geometric lines that satisfy the young artsy crowd. The collection can be found at Seven New York and by visiting the official Rad Hourani and Rad by Rad Hourani websites. Through the generosity of Edward Goldstein and Edward’s Salon in Mill Valley  Angie Angelino and I had the great pleasure and privilege of being part of this creative process by styling hair backstage. Here is a short film of our experience for you to enjoy.

Until next time,

See you in the salon

When it comes to special occasions, be it weddings or cocktail parties, going with a romantic hairstyle is a classic choice.  This year’s Golden Globes had many wonderful examples of this look and one of the most stunning was worn by Charlize Theron. Head to toe her style was soft and romantic, with a perfectly placed side bun that complimented the asymmetrical cut of her dress.

Whether your choice is to have all of your hair completely off of the face or to leave a little around the cheekbones for framing, remember to keep the overall look soft.  Also, when incorporating a headband of braids such as a style worn by Jessica Alba, keep the hair surrounding the  braids a little looser and “imperfect” so as not to appear too severe.

Until next time, see you in the salon!

Hello everyone! It has been a while since my last blog entry so I would like to share with you the new and exciting things have been happening at Edward’s Salon in Marin. Some of my fellow hair stylists and myself have recently completed a photo shoot of which the images will be entered in the Oribe Backstage Photo Shoot competition. Let me just add that the creativity has been in overdrive and I have discovered what a truly talented group we have here under one roof! Personally, besides having this opportunity to exercise lots of creativity, this has been a journey of discovery; seeing that I am a part of a group that is so supportive and works together extraordinarily well. Can you feel the love??!!

Here are the results of the shoot for you to enjoy!

Until next time, see you in the salon!

As many of our clients have noticed, Edward’s Salon has been undergoing some new and wonderful changes recently as one of our styling studios has received a major make-over. This has been in preparation for the addition of three wonderful people who have decided to join us from Cooper Alley Salon. They also bring with them the amazing multi-tasking assistant Gennie Brecherman. I have had the pleasure of working with these individuals for many years in the past and can’t express my enthusiasm enough at seeing them so gracefully join the Edward’s Salon family. I’m sure our clients will love meeting these talented folks as well, in the months to come!

Until next time -

See you in the Salon,

Hello everyone!

I am so happy and thrilled to share with you the Oribe Hair event that some of our amazing stylists attended in Las Vegas recently.  Oribe Backstage Las Vegas 2011 was their newest creative chapter spawned from the mind of Oribe Canales, incredible artist and founder of the product line that many of you may recognize from our retail shelves. The inspirations for this year’s event were:  Elizabeth Taylor’s Butterfield 8 done with a modern edge; the classic look extremely exaggerated,  and futuristic Babylon- think goddess hair gone cyborg.

Our very own Donna Summers completely rocked the hands-on segment of the show by demonstrating her own spectacular versions of the main stage looks. Talk about out of the box creativity!

Here is some footage of the show for you to enjoy…

Hello and welcome to the official maiden voyage of the Edward’s Salon Blog!  We are  looking forward to sharing with all of Marin everything that inspires us in hair, fashion and social events.

Many of you have seen the evolution of Edward’s Salon over the years and I am so thrilled to be able to share this next exciting part of the journey with all of our friends, clients, and  community. To begin, we just hit a wonderful milestone celebrating our 18th anniversary in Marin county!  The real excitement however came with the Annual Apprentice Challenge where the up and coming talent in the salon got a chance to showcase their skills. To document the competition and creativity that they all put in, we have crafted a video of the experience for you to enjoy!

Until next time…

See you in the salon!
