French New Wave with Missoula Steez

Sirens, Bicycle Gangs, and Tea Parties have graced the walls of our salon for the past year. We've loved their wooful gazes, steely stares, and playful smiles.
But now it's time for a change. We're bringing in old world charm with modern flair in the new faces of Boom Swagger Salon. A little James Dean and Bridgette Bardot inspiration with plenty of Missoula steez and funk.


Take a peak at the photos on our facebook page or meet these new faces in our salon. We love these new characters, and we're pretty sure you'll love them too.

Who are you thankful for?

Who are you thankful for?

Whether it’s someone close to you, someone in our community, or someone who’s life bumped into yours once upon a time and truly made your day--we want to hear about it.

As the holiday season approaches we realize that too often stress and noise--‘to do’ lists and expectations cast a shadow on what we all wish this spirited season to represent: sharing time with family and friends, showing one another our love and appreciation, and giving back to our personal sphere as well as our community.

During November and December of this year we invite you to take a moment to think about someone you are thankful for. Write a little bit about this person--what makes them stand out to you--and include your contact information as well as any contact info you may have for said person.
Email it to us at boomswagger204@gmail.com or drop it off at the shop at 204 S 3rd st W, next door to Bernice’s Bakery.

We will be posting bits from these writings anonymously on our blog at boomswaggersalon.blogspot.com

On Saturday, December 18th, we will choose 3 pieces that plucked our heartstrings and give away a $100 gift certificate for each person being thanked, as well as a steezy product bundle for each of the writers.

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!
