More Bumble education!

As you all may know, we absolutely ADORE Bumble & Bumble education.  Chri and Jayne the two lovely ladies who created this wonderful salon, actually learned from the founders of Bumble & Bumble in New York City! 

....way back in the day :)

 We are so lucky to have such an amazing staff always learning from some of the top Bumble educators in the country. One of those educators actually takes her clients right here in our little Lower Haight spot.

Her name is Corinna and when she walks into a room with her warm and friendly smile it gives our stylists a boost of creative and inspiring motivation. Like they can conquer the world one haircut at a time.

We were graced by her presence this morning and learned some incredible haircuts and advanced techniques that will make any asymmetrical bob, long shag or funky curly hair look flawless.

It's amazing the magic that a razor can do...

We love wigs!

Hi all......

In the sullen days of winter just past the holidays we have time at last to breathe and get back to the creativity of what we love to do. December is so crazy with party hair and everyone rushing to look their best for parties and visits to family. Now that it's a new year it's time to get back to our roots and get crafty with our style!

New photo shoots coming, a trunk show of designers selling their goods at our shop, and free styling at our up coming art shows! We are also putting together an early spring fashion show for 2012. I am just feeling so juicy about bright color and wigs. 

I took the pics above at a very special event in New York at the house of Bumble. Edo was the salon chosen from San Francisco to attend! We were thrilled and excited as they gave us inspiring underground fashion shows, business classes with a harvard professor, and endless bouts of amazing food, drink, and of course hair.

Thank you Bumble.

Our wonderful Heather Dean made it! Watch out 2012!

Heather Dean, one of Edo's most beloved assistants has finally graced the floor with her presence. 

After a year of perfecting challenging bobs, difficult pixie's and men's barbering she is now ready to rock as a stylist. 

Heather graduated from the San Francisco Institute of Esthetics & Cosmetology and is passionate about funky short haircuts, sassy bobs and trendy layers.

We are so proud that she has powered through a year of specializing in cutting through our assistant program. Congrats Heather! It won't be too long before you become a color queen.

More fun art work for sale!

And the artist for the winter is....

Tasha Loudon!

This local lady's gallery is based out of the Upper Haight where she's been creating original works of art for individuals, designers and companies for over 10 years. Her art ranges from nurseries and kid’s rooms to model homes and restaurants.

Tasha and her team of artists also specialize in creating murals, custom paintings, and decorative designs for all types of projects. She has painted for Hollywood’s most discerning elite, but approaches all ranges of projects with the same enthusiasm and professionalism.

While custom painted kids rooms are her specialty, Tasha's art, murals and decorative painting works have also been featured on television, in magazines and in local shows. While she calls San Francisco her home base, she has clients all the way from L.A. to New York that commission her. 

We are so happy to have some of her amazing creations hanging on our walls and a funky little Christmas  tree to display in front. She even painted a mural of machine guns to frame our shampoo bowls!

AWESOME!

The tree raised some concern but what can we say? We love being at least a LITTLE racy.... 

COME CHECK IT OUT! Her art will be up in Edo and for sale for the next month!

Edo's latest artwork!

Season changes call for salon changes.

The art work this Fall for our Edo gallery is the wonderful work of Kelly Nicolaisen!

Kelly is a local of the Lower Haight district and has shown her pieces in many Lower Haight business including Bean There, D-Structure and the Lower Haters gallery.

If you're in the neighborhood...drop by and check out her stuff. The vibrant color pallet of her portfolio reveals her fun and loving personality and humorous outlook on life.

We have a new art curator!

Whoo-hoo!

Edo Salon & gallery welcomes our new Art Curator Jennifer Allen!

We are thrilled to have this creative gal as not only our main receptionists but our wonderful new art curator.

"I gather inspiration for my own crafting and art adventures every day from the texture on the side walk to the way the wind blows through trees. I grew up in a very boring cookie-cutter place so I was always taking trips to the neighboring major cities to get some creativity in my life! I started exploring art through performance being very interested in dance and theater as well as singing in a choir."

With her first paycheck at age 15, Jenn bought her first real set of paint brushes. Growing up in a clean and always tidy house, she was stoked to finally have a chance to get a little messy!

Wanting to be in a more creative and dynamic city, she moved from Orange County California to the ever-so-loved and artsy Portland Oregon. It's there where she found herself at home being surrounded by so many friends in art school and felt that she was in a city that was not full of art but was art all on it's own.

"I am highly influenced by urban art and creating something beautiful from something that was once looked at as ugly and boring.   Art that I respect and love is honestly art that I can look at and say " there is no way I would have thought of that and no way I could recreate that" 

Not only is urban art, sculpture and interior design a passion and creative outlet for her but at one point Jenn even considered being a hair stylist.

" I always thought I wanted to do hair and I still find hair styling one of the best forms of art. It not only looks beautiful but it can change the way someone feels about them selves."

Our staff is excited to get a fresh, new perspective for our gallery and we can't wait for what's in store!

"I love that Edo is an outlet for so many things. Everything about it is filled with art! Talented hair stylist creating every day...revolving gallery always filled with a new and interesting form of art ...how could I not have fallin in love when I walked by on my very first day in San Francisco."

Aww...thanks Jenn. We are happy to have you!

Our sweeties Jamey and Nichole become full fledged stylists!

Congrats to the two new hair goddesses! After years of apprenticing at Edo and a zillion perfect graduated bobs,  pixie cuts, long layers, and all color combo's one could think of... these two ladies officially are full fledged stylists.

In the adorable pics above are models from Jamey and Nichole's final show. We had cake, balloons, dancing, and a Janis Joplin sing-along to celebrate.

The sweetest part is that both of these ladies started at Edo answering the phones. Jamey had made a carreer of running salons in L.A. and downtown S.F. Nichole worked at Edo for 5 years as our head receptionist and gallery curator before deciding to get her hands in some hair herself.

We are so proud of them and all their hard work. Call now to have either of them work some magic on you!
