Hi everyone!
Been a while since we have had a newsletter and given it’s coming up time for the usual holiday announcements, it’s fair we sent something out to let you guys know what we’ve been up to, and what’s coming up in the near future for Wildilocks!
Winter is the traditional time for quieter reflection, but we haven’t really slowed down much! We recently celebrated Lena’s one year anniversary with us (as well as one year in North Melbourne – we love it here!), and we’ve taken on a new casual senior, Emma, who completely rocks the vintage styling and fits us to a T, and also the lovely Gaelle assists us with dreadlocks too when we’re super-busy! We’ve got a few photos shared below the cut of some examples of our collective work over the last little while.
But now festival season is right around the corner, and we’d like to announce that for the first time in 5 years, Wildilocks will be holding a stall at Rainbow Serpent Festival in 2014! We’ve been so busy the last few years it hasn’t been on our radar, but with oodles of wonderful ravey and comfy alternative gear in store, we thought it would be a great time to get back into the doof! We’ll also be providing dreadlock and extension installations throughout the festival as well, so pop by and say hi to spruce up your do and make it more festive! If you don’t have Rainbow tickets yet, click the flyer to go to the site 😀
And an even more imminent event that we’re really excited about is the return to our Perth Gothic roots – as The Gathering has been fully funded and will be happening this New Year’s Eve in Perth! This is the first event in months we’ve been able to be be truly excited about – and we’ll be offering a select number of appointments just before the event in Perth, so if you need your hair did for the night – email or phone us to make an appointment!
There’s also a busy weekend ahead next weekend in Melbourne, with both the The Monster’s Ball, Titty Twister and the last Requiem for 3 months back to back.
So what else has changed/is new in the last 6 months? We have several fantastic new products we’ve taken on during this time – Biosilk Volumizing Therapy range has been released and we are in LOVE with the texturizing powder – constantly selling out! CHI has also come out with a new touchscreen hairdryer which we are finding an excellent new release, and we can also provide to clients for retail sale for use at home, for the dedicated styler! The Australian-made Everescents organic range has come out with excellent new moisture shampoo & conditioner to complement our favourite product in the world, the Cinnamon Patchouli Deep Treatment, and these have been hugely popular too. We have a limited range of Everescents Christmas Gift packs available, which make great stocking stuffers! We also have gorgeous unique glass jewellery and homewares from Nudibranch Art Glass available which are stunning and make impressive gifts, and New Rock has brought out a range of suede ballerinas and moccasins which are beautiful detailed in classic New Rock style, comfortable and practical and with the usual New Rock quality you can depend on. As always a range of new casual and club wear has graced our shelves regularly, and new stock is always arriving. And of course as always Gift Cards are available too, for that hard-to-buy-for person in your life!
So – on to our Christmas Opening Hours! For the first time ever, Wildilocks is having a PROPER break in Melbourne between Christmas and New Year. As Christmas Eve and New Years Eve fall on a Tuesday this year, we’ve made the decision to close completely between December 22nd to January 2nd – so please make sure you make all your Christmas purchases nice and early! Our last trading day before Christmas will be Saturday December 21st, and then we will reopen on Thursday January 2nd 2014!
Our Saturdays are pretty much completely booked out before Christmas but we do have some appointments on other days, so book early to avoid disappointment over the next few weeks too.
Oh yes – Special Effects hair colour is due to be back in stock FINALLY very soon – they moved factories earlier this year and so our stock has got VERY low. We have enabled pre-orders on the webstore in anticipation, so make your orders now for delivery in a few weeks!
Finally, check out some of the pics below the cut of a selection of clients from the last little while, and we look forward to seeing you all in 2014 and beyond!
