Salon Tonic Tenth Anniversary

Tonic Loves A Party

Sharon — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 21:20:25 +0000

Tonic loves a party! Our anniversary party was a beautiful smash. Thank you to all our friends that stopped in to enjoy the celebration. I’m always amazed at how beautiful, fun and talented our family is here. Clients, friends and fans you all looked stunning.
By 8 o’clock the salon was packed. Appetizers were being passed by two beautiful girls (thanks Kenzie and Stephanie) and everyone was asking “who made these?” Kate Murray of misssushisandiego.com, created a vegetarian feast of sweet and savory sushi-inspired bites that simply put was the BEST sushi I’ve ever eaten. Totally scrumptious. Thanks Kate and Jason! For dessert, Angela Mueller, of TheBeautyBakery.com, designed a beautiful display of delicious mini cupcakes that must be seen to be fully appreciated. Were you lucky enough to score a handful of Mexican chocolate or spicy chipolte almonds? Yummy! Where can you get them? Hopkinsag.com or check out their stand at the Little Italy farmers market on Saturdays. If you thought the gin and tonics were unusually delicious (I did!) it’s because Breanne Dreisbach hooked us up with Tanqueray Rangpur. Thanks Breanne! Did the sexy bartender look familiar? Turns out Acacia, our beautiful receptionist, is a natural drink slinger! Who knew?
At 830 the band commenced. Did you recognize the frontman, ahem frontwoman! playing the guitar and the keyboard? Our very own Maren and her band, Maren Parusel, wowed the crowd with fresh melodic tunes. Look for their digital music release in the next few weeks.
I’d like to thank Neil and Shae, barbacks extraordinaire, who ran the behind the scenes show like pros. I’d also like to thank Will and Nick, our handsome doormen.
To all the stylists, and Jenna, our fabulous esthetician, thank you for making the world more beautiful. Your dedication to your craft and your attention to each client is inspiring.
Finally thank you to Sharon, whose vision and tireless effort continues to amaze and impress me. I’m so proud of you sis.
Happy 10 Tonic.

Ronnie Stam at UST

Sharon — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 16:37:42 +0000

We LOVE education. I decided to nickname the salon UST. University of Salon Tonic. Oribe Editorial Stylist Ronnie Stam taught an amazing and inspiring class last Wednesday evening to the entire salon TONIC staff. Having toured with the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith, coiffed numerous supermodels and celebrities, and previously owned a salon in Amsterdam, he was brimming with experience and knowledge that we all soaked up. You can view the photos from the evening here. My most memorable moment was when he said, “The salon should be a training center to educate everyone- including clients- on how to do better hair.” I couldn’t agree more. Salon TONIC and Oribe are partners in making the world a more beautiful place, one head of hair at a time. Let us make you more beautiful.

salon TONIC welcomes Oribe

Sharon — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 17:39:27 +0000

Salon Tonic is honored to be hosting a demonstration by the one and only Oribe. We’re so excited we can hardly sleep! It’s like Christmas Eve or The night before a new Coen Brothers movie premiere. Only better! We love Oribe and are anxiously awaiting his arrival to our humble little hair salon. By the time he’s done with his demonstrations our noggins will be full of brand new hairy ideas. He’s got duffel bags full of hair pieces that he’s going to turn into art on live models. A blonde, a brunette and a redhead will be transformed into living art. Read what others are saying.
