50% off Smashing September Sale EXTENDED with extra special for disappointed Burners!

By

Hey folks!

Due to Burning Seed being cancelled :(((( and really wet weather set for most of Victoria this coming weekend, we’ve made the decision to keep the salon open for 1 more week before renovations begin and extend the 50% off sale for this extra week! So if you had thought you had completely missed out, you have one last chance to get in before we shut the doors for the first 2 weeks of October! If you’re in town for Seed, and are bummed to be missing your favourite annual event, then we’re offering not only 50 percent off, but an extra buy one, get one free if you show your Seed ticket – a small consolation, but that’s up to 75 percent off all clothing, boots and accessories!

We’ve updated our prices page to reflect our upcoming price increase – a very small 5-10% increase just to keep up (and even staying a little bit behind given it’s been over 5 years) with inflation. New prices will be in effect when we re-open on Tuesday 18th October – returning to our summer hours as well as Daylight Savings begins while we are closed for renovations.

Also one last thing – we will be closed for the Grand Final public holiday on Friday, and our last open day before renovations will be Saturday October 1st!

Vamp it up for a good cause this Saturday night in Perth!

By

Hey folks,

Wildilocks is supporting a very good cause this weekend and thought you should all know about it, if you didn’t already! (or reminded of if you did, but forgot!)

This Saturday sees the ReVamped Vampire Ball @ Rooftop Cinemas, and it looks to be a fantastic event! From the Rooftop Cinemas website:

“Dress as your favourite vampire, goblin, ghost or ghoul for an evening of petrifying performances, spine tingling roving entertainers and monster mash to the tunes of zombie DJ Razor Jack.

Your lineup of creatures will include:

The fiends from Feisty Entertainment and Fliptease
Ghoulish gogo and samba dancers
Macho Monsters from Lucha Royale
Freaky Frankenstein
Scary Sapphire Demure
and gorey special guests galore!

Special friends from GSPA will be joining us with their “Transylvair” airport lounge installation:

“Transylvair, that most dastardly of undead airlines, lurches back into the sky for the Hunt once more! Bringing Vampires from their their native land to new feeding grounds in an ominous fleet of under-maintained steam-powered Zeppelins, their lust for blood is matched only by their craving for place names containing vowels… Vamp it up in your best bat wings the Transylvair Airport Lounge for Frequent Flappers whilst waiting for the deadly dirigibles to arrive…”

Door prizes and awards for best/worst dressed. Day of the Dead facepainting will be available for those that choose to keep their inner creature hidden.

Part proceeds from the Revamped Vampire Ball go to No Matter What in support of Cancer Sucks.

Kick on with the afterparty at the Rocket Room (Voodoo Lounge) from midnight to 5am for more freaky performances and creature capers. Afterparty tickets are $5 on the door at the Rocket Room with a ReVamped stamp.

The ReVamped Vampire Ball is part of the City of Perth’s Carnivale Macabre”

Wildilocks is presenting, along with Beyond the Trapdoor, some great prizes so make sure you really go to town!!

Here’s a peek at what you could win:

So make sure you come along & join in the fun :))) See you there!

It’s the Witching time … and that means … HALLOWE’EN SALE is ON AGAIN!

By

Hey everyone! It’s now a week til that favourite time of the alternative calendar year: Samhain! Or as tis more commonly celebrated in the Americas: Halloween.

Last year we had great fun with our first ever Halloween sale and we thought it would definitely be appropriate to continue the tradition!

We are for 2012 celebrating the most spooky time of the year with a WEEK LONG HALLOWEEN SALE! That’s right, from 25 – 31st October we are offering 20% off ALL clothing & accessories: that includes all pants, tops, jackets, corsets, skirts, hair falls, hats, New Rock Boots, jewelery, EVERYTHING*! And not only is this at all Wildilocks stores, but it’s ONLINE too on our webstore! AND this sale also counts for orders, so if you’ve been thinking of buying something, but we don’t have it in stock, as long as the order is paid 100% during the sale week, you can get orders for 20% off as well, INCLUDING New Rocks!

And as an extra special added bonus, when you come in to Wildilocks during our Halloween sale, if you come up to the front desk and say “Trick or Treat” you will get – well, one or the other!!! So make sure you drop in and say hi, and grab yourself a Halloween bargain! We will also be dressing up on the 31st and possibly this Saturday too, so if you come in costume on these days you will get an EXTRA SPECIAL TREAT!

Have a wonderful week, people – and stay SPOOKY!

*not valid for salon services or hair care products & dyes, magazines, auctions, or laybys not paid in full during the sale period

Also please note Melbourne store is closed next Tuesday 6th November for the Melbourne Cup – Perth will be business as usual on that day.

Spring Fling 2012 in North Melbourne – THIS Sunday – Wildilocks WILL BE OPEN OMG

By

Hey folks – we have settled into our new North Melbourne salon and while very sad to say goodbye to Angela, our manager and senior stylist for the last year and half, time has come for her to return to Holland and we wish her all the best in her future adventures in hair and in life – it has been a huge pleasure hosting Angela in her Aussie visit for so long.

But if one thing in life is a constant, it is change. Lena is our new senior and budding manager, with years of experience and champing at the bit to get her feet wet as part of Wildilocks new North Melbourne salon team so we do hope you will make her welcome!

We are loving the new location and I have a special treat to let you know about this Sunday 21st October – Wildilocks will be OPEN!!!

Why? because there is the Annual Spring Fling North Melbourne street festival happening – the festival has been going for 32 years and is one of the last genuine community street festivals in inner Melbourne! Errol St will be closed and we will be open from 12pm – 5pm! Pop down to see some live music, shake your booty at the Silent Disco, throw some clay, check out the Trash and Treasure Markets, do some Yoga or Pilates, learn some circus skills, eat some scrumptious food, and maybe even get your hair done or pick up a frock?!

Check out the website and download the Festival Guide [pdf, 2.6MB] to see what’s on offer – I think it’s going to be a great fun afternoon and hope to see you there!

FINAL DAY @ The Lockworks today!

By

Thankyou so much Melbourne CBD for your patronage for the last 5 years – we look forward to welcoming you to our shiny new North Melbourne salon next Thursday! But do pop in to say goodbye to the Lockworks – we’re also, for THIS FINAL DAY ONLY upping the ante and offering –

BUY ONE GET TWO FREE!!!

– for clothing only –

all other accessories & boots are still buy one get one free though, til 5pm today, only @ The Lockworks!

We hope to see you today and look forward to seeing you in North Melbourne in future!

Final Week @ The Lockworks in Little Collins St!

By

It’s the end of an era for Melbourne … but the beginning of a new one!

Come down for last minute specials and to say goodbye to The Lockworks, our home in Melbourne for the past 5 years (our new location is “@ Victoria” – in the Victoria Buildings, on Victoria St 😉 ) – our Buy One Get One Free sale has been extended in Melbourne through to Saturday 15th September and that will be our final day of trading at Level 1, 382 Little Collins St.

We will be closed for Tuesday 18th & Wed 19th September and will be reopening on Thursday 20th September, if all goes well, at 347 Victoria St North Melbourne (West Melbourne for Google Maps/mail)! We will confirm via Twitter when doors are officially open at the new premises 😀

Note Perth is trading as normal during this time, and we look forward to seeing you in both locations as we move forward in this exciting change!

It’s… SALE TIME! Plus NEW OPENING HOURS!

You may recall we announced a short while back that Wildilocks Melbourne would be MOVING in September! – and the good news for everyone is this means – SALE TIME!!

Some sad news – and some fantastic news!

By

Been a little while since we’ve had an update here (or on Twitter – meep!) – this is because there have been a lot of changes for Wildilocks in the wings, and we are finally able to officially announce two pretty big pieces of news.

Firstly, it is with regret that I must announce that Wildilocks has made the decision to sell our Wellington salon, and while the new owner will be continuing with Farouk Systems CHI range of ammonia free colour & styling products, as well as continuing to supply Directions and Special Effects in store, they will be adding beauty services and the fashion section will be relocated back to Australia. Francia will also be offering extension services, but not dreadlocks. We wish Francia all the best and are confident our existing Wellington clientele will be serviced very well. This will leave Cass with the ability to focus more on the Australian salons which have been hard to manage with three all to keep an eye on! We will however continue our TradeMe sales, but from Australia, so there will be longer and slightly more expensive shipping, but still – available! So look forward to more regular updates, more new products, more specials and more interactivity!

This means also that for the next week, Wildilocks @ Cuba is having a BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE SALE on all clothing, boots and accessories in-store (second item must be of equal or lesser value.) Our final trading day for clothing will be Wednesday 27th June, and Francia will be reopening after some refit with the addition of beauty, on Thursday 5th July. Phone number will stay the same, and we will forward any email enquiries made after this date to her. Any vouchers not yet used have been agreed to be honoured by Francia, but all laybys or store credits for clothing & accessories must be completed by 27th June. Goodbye Wellington – we will miss you 🙁

And so – now for the fantastic news!

We are really excited to be able to announce that Wildilocks in Melbourne will be MOVING this year! We have lined up a fantastic new location and we are very pleased to say we will be opening our first ever street-frontage location in Australia! We won’t be opening in the new location until September, but we will be getting our refit started nice and early (in fact it has already started…:) )

The new shop will be located at 347 Victoria St, North Melbourne (West Melbourne on Google Maps.) almost at the corner of Errol St, in the heart of the North Melbourne shopping precinct, and the 57 tram stops within metres of our front door, so while we will be a little further out, we’re a lot easier to find and much more accessible. Only 10 minutes walk from Queen Victoria Markets, North Melbourne or Flagstaff Train Stations (or 15/20 minutes to Melbourne Central) – and actually only a 25 minute walk from our current CBD location in Little Collins St. There’s also MUCH easier parking for those of you driving. So this is something we are hugely excited for. We are considering opening one Sunday a month for the North Melbourne Market days once we are re-situated too, and there may be other minor changes to our trading hours.

In the meantime Wildilocks @ The Lockworks will continue to trade as normal, and we will let you all know with lots of notice when we will be closing the doors there officially and opening anew! Wildilocks @ Base108 is going strong as always with Emma, Trent, Amy and Damon holding the fort!

We’d also like to confirm when we move to North Melbourne we will NOT be increasing prices in either salon in Australia – note our hourly rates have not gone up in years, and won’t til at least 2013 or possibly 2014.

We look forwarded to keeping you all updated on the progress of the new shop and hope to see you soon.
