Behind the Scenes at New Leaf: Vintage Valentine

We are still in the spirit of Valentine's Day at New Leaf. Maybe that's because during the month of February a portion of every Chocolate Sensation Pedicure (HUGE hit, by the way) and lipstick purchased will be donated to the American Heart Association. OF COURSE we still feel the love!

 

Maybe you have walked by the salon lately and noticed our February window display promoting our 'Love Cures' campaign. Those fabulous images were taken by our friends at Snap! Photography. Pam envisioned the Mad Men inspired look for the shoot and made the hair HAPPEN! The flawless make up you see was done by none other than our very own make up wizard, Amy G.

 

Here's a peek at the 'process' of getting a model camera ready...

And action...

 

Our model, Courtney, PRE-sexy red lips...

 

Okay, so check out those waves...

Back in the day, women would wash their hair, find the hardest holding gel, and set their hair in finger waves. It's a tedious process, one every hairstylist had to master in hairdressing school before getting his or her cosmetology license. When we would complain, they promised us the finger wave would come back, as most trends do. Boy, were they right, we see the waveson almost every celebrity.

 

Dilemma. Back in the 1920's, blow dryers and curling irons were being tinkered on in some inventor's old garage. The handheld hair dryer was not seen in a woman's bathroom for decades. Women sat for HOURS while their hair dried into the wave set. Fast forward to 2010 and there is now such a thing as a TRIPLE-BARREL curling iron to create the look in minutes...

Pam pins the "roll"...

 

Susan from Linden Place in Bristol was nice enough to let us take over the house. Trish and Mariah from Snap! said there was an amazing vintage bathroom upstairs. Boy, were they right!

 

Here is our view point of Mariah in action...

 

And Snap!'s...

Isn't the antique finish amazing?!?

 

Courtney (Pam's model) really knew how to work it. She should, she happens to be the fashion editor at RI Monthly!

Her make up is just flawless...who doesn't want to feel like this in February?

 

Love everything about this photo--the hair 'roll', the lipstick, the pearls...The SNap!pers did it again!

 

What!?! A hat too?I love her expression here, like she is thinking about a secret she is keeping...

 

Our thanks to Snap! and kudos to Amy G and Pam for making the photo shoot a smashing success!
