{First Impressions} Headhouse Salon

If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you know I am always searching to find my new Philly “people.” Luckily, some have been falling into place (see my favorite Philadelphia dentist ever), but I am still on the hunt for others (namely, a salon) to occupy my appointment circuit. For the past two years, my hairdresser has been named “Groupon,” so when I was invited to explore a new salon with Philly Blog Love, I was thrilled. Headhouse Salon, Queen Village, Philadelphia // Her Philly Headhouse Salon (141 League Street) is a chic and modern salon nestled on a residential street in Queen Village. The salon was started by three talented South Philly friends (how cool is that?), Jade Carroll, Meighan Olkowski and Melissa Moscinski. The owners and their entire stylist team were extremely welcoming & excited to show us around their fabulous space.

Passyunk Avenue). Cupcake truffles from Ms Goody Cupcake in Philadelphia // Her PhillyWe began with a presentation lead by Jessie Holeva, founder of PBL, featuring three of Headhouse’s hottest summer styles. We learned all about the Beach Bum Blowout, Fishtail Braid, and Summer Shades, aka bright colored extensions by Great Lengths.

As someone who has had an obsession with Lauren Conrad’s dip dyed hair forever, I opted for some gorgeous peach Great Lengths extensions. These colored extensions are temporary, but last 3-5 months and can be styled with your hot tools. Plus, they are totally office friendly. Chris and Rachel were fabulous to talk to and walked me through the entire process while putting in my fancy new extensions. Thanks guys!

She was fantastic, thorough, and I loved hearing all of her makeup tricks. PS: her hair color is completely natural – can you believe it? Headhouse Salon will apply a full face of makeup starting at $50. So awesome! Great makeup application at Headhouse Salon in Queen Village // Her Philly Philly Blog Love hooked us up with a great goody bags. In addition to an awesome Headhouse Salon perk, I got to take home a cute tee from Organik Clothing, handy brush on sunblock from Susan Posnick, a summer fragrance from Demeter (I picked Sunshine!), some tanning & teeth whitening goodies from Luminosity, tinted hair chalk from Fine Featherheads (can’t WAIT to try this!), and nail wraps from Jamberry. Thanks to all of the fab sponsors!

My visit to Headhouse was great. The stylists were knowledgeable, genuine & talented. The space was not only roomy, but spacious (so essential in a city salon!). My hair & makeup both looked amazing (check out my Instagram selfie for proof), and I will definitely be back to play at Headhouse Salon again soon!

Another great year mummin around! ☂️⁣ ⁣ Af Another great year mummin around! ☂️⁣

After the mummers parade was rescheduled due to Saturday’s weather, we got blessed yesterday with 60 degrees & even some ☀️! ⁣
⁣
@jimmypennz is a member of the @twostreetstompers, so I joined him and his group stomping down 2nd Street after the official parade. It was great to be with family & friends, dance to the bands, and say “happy new year!” to neighbors & mums all day long. ⁣
⁣
I hope you all had a wonderful start to your 2022! 🖤⁣

🥾 @stompontour … I am OBSESSED! ⁣⁣ ⁣ We 🥾 @stompontour … I am OBSESSED! ⁣⁣
⁣
We go to a good number of shows and plays 🎭, and while I’ve always *heard* of STOMP, I never knew enough about it to pick it over something else. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Last night @kimmelculturalcampus invited me to STOMP’s opening night for their week here in Philly, and I’m officially here to say: pick it, choose it, STOMP IT. 🥾🥾🥾⁣⁣
⁣⁣
My mom & I absolutely LOVED the show. It’s basically 8 (incredibly good looking) men & women that play different “songs” and do different “skits” completely & fully with ordinary objects… like shopping carts, inner tubes, street signs, & so much more. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But it’s FUNNY! Without saying any words, we got to know the characters (especially @cityboypr’s 😂) and laughed between our whispered “OMGs” and “wooows.” ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I am absolutely so thankful I got to see this iconic show and share my experience. It’s truly a must see - especially appropriate for musicians, dancers, and even kids! 🥁⁣⁣
⁣⁣
@stompontour has 7 shows left now through 1/2, so grab your mask & vax card & head over to see this show that will help you kick off 2022 with a bang! 💥😉⁣
