Salon Tonic was honored to be invited to and attend a hands on workshop in San Fransisco on September 27th with the master himself: Oribe. His appearances are becoming rare as his product line swells with success. He is an amazing man with a vast amount of inspiring energy. We love Oribe almost as much as his products.
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 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.
When I was a young girl, the thought of being part of the world that Vidal Sassoon created seemed magical. The man himself was, to me, an untouchable icon. Immortal. Larger than life. So… you can imagine my shock and awe when last week his son, Elan Sassoon walked in the front door of salon Tonic. Wow. He was gracious, humble, and genuinely interested in knowing about the culture I created. As we sat on the lobby sofa, I couldn’t help but feel as though I was looking into the face of his father. Can you see the resemblance in the photos? Sometimes life can hand you gifts when you least expect it. Meeting Elan Sassoon was magical.
