What is a Chakra?

I tend to over look this amazing Chakra Collection AVEDA has created. Yet every time I go back to them I fall in love all over again!

 We have 7 Chakra's that help balance our bodies. When one of these chakra's is unbalanced it can throw your whole mood off. Aveda, bottled the essence of these chakra's to help create a more harmonious lifestyle. 


There are many ways to use these Chakra's. You can spray them on your linens, use them as an air freshener, or simply spray them like a perfume.  Each Chakra produces a unique scent, that smells different on everyone. 





So how do you know which Chakra is right for you? 
Well there are a few fun ways to choose your Chakra scent. 

You can go off of smell, which ever one smells the best to you.
You can look at the descriptions and pick which color, word or symbol draws you in. 

  

 

 

"Just because I can't help a hundred, doesn't exclude me from helping one" Rick Warren

Last Friday, May 19th, 2012, Static Salon volunteered to do hair and make up for a fashion show at "A Women's Day In The Park". An annual event the Downtown Women's Center puts on for the women who frequent the center and whom are members. 

While we did hair and make up on these ladies they shared their stories with us. I can't explain how humbling this experience was. I am so glad that I was a part of this event. The women that attended this event were introduced to different health and legal services. 



While we did hair and make up on these ladies they shared their stories with us. I can't explain how humbling this experience was. I am so grateful we were able to participate in this event. 

The women who come to the Downtown Women's Center are homeless, formerly homeless, or experiencing extreme poverty; they cope with mental and chronic illnesses, physical disabilities, chronic abuse and domestic violence, as well as aging related-issues.

There are 71 apartment style rooms at the center. The average women is a member of the DWC for 7-9 years. About 200 women visit the drop-in Day Center each day. The ladies can take advantage of many services the DWC has to offer, including: meals, showers, computers, telephones, mail, and counseling.

This is a mural at the Downtown Women's Center of the two ladies who started it all. This mural is created by the thumb prints of all the ladies who stayed at the shelter when it first opened. It is also signed by everyone.

Vidal Sassoon

Vidal Sassoon, one of the greatest Hair Legends passed away earlier this morning. 

"When I first came into hair, women were coming in and you'd place a hat on their hair and you'd dress their hair around it," says Sassoon. "We learned to put discipline in the haircuts by using actual geometry, actual architectural shapes and bone structure. The cut had to be perfect and layered beautifully, so that when a woman shook it, it just fell back in."

Vidal Sassoon changed the world of hairdressing, by creating amazing, detailed work, that inspired millions. Vidal Sassoon is a beauty icon, that will forever remain in our hearts and an inspiration to our daily work. 

Doing our part to help keep the Earth Clean

Last weekend Static Salon teamed up with AVEDA and The Surfrider Foundation 

to help clean up the Earth. The girls at Static Salon met the Surfrider Foundation 

and members of the AVEDA team at the Santa Ana River Bed, 

to pick up trash.

Every year Static Salon and  AVEDA partner with the Surfrider Foundation during Earth Month to raise money in fight for clean water and in awareness to keep the Earth clean.

Check out our amazing team at the Surfrider River Bed Clean Up!

 

Stylin' at Static Salon

This week, I wanted to showcase some of the work from the girls in the salon! I'm so proud of all the girls and the beautiful work they are creating.

This is what it is all about, turning someone's bad hair day into a beautiful one.
