If you love the fierce look of Daenerys Targaryen, mother of dragons, or just feel more adventurous than usual for your hairstyle and color now there’s a place for that. Tucked a usually drab street punctuated by the loading dock of Macy’s on one side, not so long ago I noticed something different, a ray of light: the shiny new windows and bright lights of Hairroin, a huge 2 floor hairstyling mecca with a distinctive gothic flavor. The vibe is Victorian meets LA rock, so allelujah! finally something different from the usual hair salon dichotomy minimalist-chic look vs natural-organic look. I couldn’t resist to take a peek inside right away:
Black & White and metal for an original look
Round bench -with steam-punk installation, to socialize during hair-drying time,
Time Travelers welcome!
For the boys after work, and for everybody who needs a touch of courage and inspiration 😉
But this is also what I discovered: even if you’re not so as extreme as Daenerys in hair taste, Hairroin’s team is made of professionals from the fashion and advertising world, headed by top LA hairstylist Janine Jarmin, who has taken care of Scarlet Johansen, Fergie and Carmen Elektra just to name a few names. Finally be reassured: no strange Gothic concoctions here, this unique hair establishment works with top of the range products like: Sebastian, Oribe,Wella and Holika Holika.
Look out, I sniff an upcoming trend here! After concept fashion stores, now it’s time for hairstyling concept salons.
