Embellish and the Fab5

One of our first graffiti art shows was a showcasing of artwork that is a part of the NLF (National Leadership Foundation) initiative called Fab5. It's NLF's way of getting kids involved in developing their artistic skills as it pertains to the hip-hop culture. With little events in this town that involve hip-hop and our youth, NLF has taken steps to bridge the gap between pierce county and the youth of our community. Fab5 provides mentorship, leadership and positive role models that help foster and cultivate the youth's various talents in break dancing, emceeing, djing and graffiti art.


If you've seen the side or our building in the last couple of months you can tell that we definitely in support of the graffiti arts and we all know that we love the arts in general so we have decided to donate to cause that's dear to our hearts.

For the month of August we will be taking 10% of the proceeds of your services and donating them to NLF's Fab5. Just let your receptionist know when you make your appointment that you'd like to make that donation and we'll make sure we collect that and send that off to our artistic youth!!

Almost Like a Drive in But WAY More Awesome!!!

It was put to a vote because no one could decided on one movie and they've come to a decision. Go Local will be hosting an outside movie at Tollefson Plaza on August 19th after artwalk at 8:30. We will be showing "O Brother Where Art Thou". Raising Arizona got a LOT of votes, so maybe we'll have to do another one soon. Stay tuned for details!!!!

Keeping It Natural and Affordable!!

The best way to keep your color service looking like it grew out of your head that way is to go with a multi-dimensional look. Hair typically grows out of the head one color but goes through some environmental taxing that changes the color of your hair as it grows out. Free radicals, sun and even combing and brushing can alter the fabric of your hair causing it to shift in color over time. Luckily, your skilled Daymakers are able to recreate that with skilled placements and strategic color patterns.

So, as a gift to you we'd like to offer you the chance to add some dimension to your look. Enjoy a complimentary color add on of equal or lesser value to your service. This means you can add on a second color to your foil, a retouch in between your highlights or even a complimentary color refresh with your retouch service.

Call now because there are only a few spaces open for this remainder of this week and make sure to take advantage of the fabulous value before it's too late!!

******This offer good through 7-17-2010 and cannot be combined with any other coupons, gift certificates, discounts or offers.******

If This Isn't Beer Weather Then We Don't Know What Is!!

Word on the street is the Harmon Tap Room is open and the street is correct!!! They're open and their hop flavored ambrosia is flowing into the mouths of the thirsty and selective.  With a wide selection of home town brewed beers, you're bound to find one that tickles your taste buds!! We had a few growlers of their finely brewed beverages and a few of us that had a chance to taste them fell in love with the Point Defiance IPA that Pat so graciously delivered to our Dude Day Event. Along with their seasonal ales and finely brewed staples, they also offer a variety of wines, a game room for the kid at heart and Pub Grub to keep your taste buds dancing all night long!!

Kevin Murpy's Night Rider

We've had a hard time giving one of Kevin Murphy's new additions a proper welcome. The newest member of the Kevin Murphy's styling collections has won the hearts of all those that have had a chance to get their hands on it!! It's been described as a combination of the best of all three of its predecessors. It has the matte texture of the new formulation of Gritty Business, the tacky stylability of Sticky Business and the taming properties of Easy Rider. Good for all hair textures, you can blow dry it in for texture and hold or piece it in dry to give you the sexy lived in look that we all want but don't want to wait 4 days for!!

Come in and ask your stylist if it's a good one for you to try but make sure you get here while the gettin' is good because we can't seem to keep it on the shelf!!
