Wink Hair Studio

Have you visited us lately? We have so many great products to keep your curls looking great this time of year! If frizz free blow-outs are more your style, we’ve got you covered as well. Davines and Kevin Murphy products are all in stock!

Our new salon mates, Meadow Boutique, have filled their space with spring dresses and tops, cozy sweatshirts, lots of perfect denim, purses, candles, cards, jewelry and so much more! It’s amazing what they have fit in 250 square feet, a treasure hunt.

Going away for spring break? Stop by and find your travel size hair products, a beach sweatshirt, a luau dress or a candle to pop the romance factor up a notch.😉

See you soon!

We hope you have stopped by and checked out the Meadow Pop-Up. It’s smaller but quaint and cute and full of great fashion. Shelley will never let you down with all the great colors and fashion you will adore! I was taking photos this morning and she has placed new things in every nook and cranny that weren’t there last week. We now have cards and lots more earrings and bags. We have many different styles of hair clips and on and on and on. April is surely blooming in Meadow Boutique. We really want to see you, stop by, say hello and let us help you find a little something for Spring. xoxoxoxo

My husband has a great beard and because of this I am constantly picking up beard-centric products for him to try. For Valentine’s Day I decided to get him a product by Davines called Hair Beard and Body Wash, from their Pasta and Love body line of products. You all probably already know that I am a big fan of Davines’ products and philosophy, so I jump at anytime I can find an excuse to use their products. (Beyond all their gems that we use at the salon).

Well, I’m happy to report that he gave it a big thumbs up so I decided to add a couple bottles to our retail shelves on a trial basis. It provides hydration leaving hair and skin soft, and boy oh boy it smells divine! I have a bottle at the back bar for those of you that want to smell it, or give it a try.

All of the stylists at Wink wearing masks and so are each of our clients. We stylists are all still distancing from each other. Reading this report made me so happy!

Hi there friends-
For those of you that don’t know, I own a small hair salon in Seattle called Wink Hair Studio. I would say it’s an independent salon, but I am truly dependent on my fellow stylists. We, like many service providers around the city (and the country and the world) are closed for the near future.
An easy way to help support your neighborhood salon is to buy your hair products from them. Many salons nationwide have opened online stores. If you normally purchase hair products from your salon, could you please reach out and see if they have an online store? Check their website, Facebook or Instagram, or text your stylist. Your support would mean so much to them, especially now. I know it will be a struggle for many salons to stay in business without their community’s support.
Buy whatever else you need from wherever you are shopping, but could you please try to purchase hair products from your salon for the next couple months? Please pass this message on to your friends and family. Thank you so much, best wishes.
Rebecca
