Missoula's Sensational Tweed Ride 2010

You are invited to revel in an afternoon of leisurely cycling about our fair city in your British best. That's right, Missoula's 1st Annual Tweed Ride is sure to be a sensational event, one you just can't miss!

The ramble will rendezvous at McCormick Park at 12:00 on November 7th.

At only $8 to participate in our stylish jaunt and merry-making, you can revel in an afternoon of tweedtastic fun without breaking the bank. Email allisona.goodman@gmail.com to see about advanced ticket sales.

Invite your friends and co-workers to join in on this cycling sensation--a new hip and local annual Missoula tradition-- for a jaunt through town in your most dapper attire. Keeping with the aesthetic is a must: tweed, houndstooth, hats, dresses, argyle, and well groomed moustaches are welcomed and encouraged. Visit MissoulaTweedRide.tumblr.com for further tweedtastic inspiration.

Boom Swagger salon is one of the sponsors for this charity ride, and we welcome you to schedule today for that Dapper and Dandy 'do, perfect for the vintage-inspired event! Poorly-groomed moustaches will not be tolerated, Gents. Thus, we can help make yours worthy of Maverlous Moustache title. Boom Swagger is awarding prizes for the most dapper 'do, so come ready to strut your stuff.

More prizes for best bike and most stylish lads and lasses willl be awarded by the hippest boutique on the strip, Betty's Divine. Leave modern garb and lycra at home for your recovery ride the next day. Come looking dandy for the on site photographer and order prints the day of!

You don't have to have a vintage cruiser or retro racer to join in; any wheels will do. Travel will be at a Mary Poppins pace--ride at your own risk!

Meet at Free Cycles at 4:00 for hot soup and bread, various hot beverages, wine and beer, live music and a rollicking good time! Please tote along a mug or pint glass to help support sustainable efforts.

Tata for now, Missoula!

Betty's Show

Last Thursday was absolute insanity as we prepped oodles of fashion forward folks who were walking the runway for Betty's Divine. I must disclose that these are borrowed photos from the lovely Jennifer B. who is a long time client and always the first on the stage for these shows!
So thanks lady!The stunning Jen with a waterfall of luscious curls courtesy of Mario.

Three hot mamas! (Check out Betty's owner Amiee, channeling her inner Bowie)

Fierce!

Work it ladies!

Seriously Steezy!

Many thanks to all the folks involved with the show and if you have pictures from that night that you would like to share, add them to our Facebook page or email them to boomswagger204@gmail.com

My What A Busy Week!

This week has been crazy to say the least! Two of our team was in Las Vegas for a national hair show for the first half of the week and came back with a ton of information and new styling goodies for the staff to "oooh and ahhh" over.

The coolest thing (besides the Twilight themed lip stain Carly got) was a couple of awesome new curling irons. Check out the double barrel on the top one!!
Reminds me of something else that is super sweet...
You also have to, or rather GET to, rock a cool black glove when using these irons because they are clip-less. (ie: there is nothing holding the hair onto the iron, it's just a hot metal wand in your hand!) So for safety sake, you get to rock a Michael Jackson vibe when using them.

We are also teaming up with the lovely staff of Betty's Divine for their Spring fashion show at The Badlander. It's going down TONIGHT around 10p and there is a $3 cover and dollar drinks till midnight!

We're also gearing up for the finale of Project Selvedge which is happening on May 7th.

And of course, we are heading into the summer which means graduations, weddings and lots and lots of hilights! So book early if you have a specific stylist that you are keen on and keep checking back for more awesome discounts and deals from your Hip Strip Salon!

Project Selvedge

For the third week in a row, we helped out fellow Hip Strip business Selvedge Studio with the hair and makeup for Project Selvedge. This week their challenge was color!!

Braided in the front and curled and backcombed on the side!

Pretty in pink!

Channeling her inner punk ;)

The final 4 looks!

The top 3 contestants will take the next two weeks to create a showcase of looks which they will premier on May 7th! You can always check out Selvedge Studio's website for more info: http://selvedgestudio.com

BoomSwagger BFF's

While brainstorming for our new promotion, we tried to think about what WE would want out of our salon experience. In these times, I feel like any sort of break on the cost of an appointment would be much welcomed by our bank accounts! But we also wanted it to be fun... So what better way to couple discounts with fun then invite our clientele to bring in a friend and get a discount for doing so. If you (or your friend) are already part of the BoomSwagger Crew and have been to us before, your discount is 5% off any service. If you are new to the salon, it's 10% off!

So, just to clarify, both regulars? 5% off each. Both new? 10% off! One new, one regular? 10% and 5% off respectively. The one catch is that you have to book the appointments together. Which is why it's the BoomSwagger BFF Special. Just remember to mention it when you're booking your appointments!

And BFF doesn't have to mean Best Friend Forever... It could be the Boy (from your) French Final or that Brunette Fannypack Fanatic you know.

Just another way we're trying to make putting Boom in your Swagger affordable on any budget.
