Movie In The Salon
So we had an Australian Movie , shooting some scenes in the salon. It was amazing to watch, these actors turning it on. It was a lot of fun, i got to do the hair and gave the actor who was playing a hairdresser a few tips. Think he camped it up a little bit, or maybe im camp?
Lights, Camara, Action
I have just finished shooting a vodafone advert ,no im not giving up my day job, and im not expecting any job offers. I'm lucky enough to be given a car from Vodafone, and to be asked to be in one of their commercials is really cool. We filmed most of it here in the salon, and some of me driving. So super cool advertising for Stevie English Hair.
This monday we have an Australian feature film been filmed in the salon, only a few sceens but should be fun and interesting. And again some good advertising for us here at the English.
The Party Season
Christmas draws closer, the weather warms right up, and people in Sydney are partying! We at the English have had another great week, and today is our first ever Sunday trading.
Christmas party is on a roll, and tonight is the night. Im sorry if anyone see's any of us tonight, you might get sense out of some of us, but you might not! We have had a wonderful year and the we are going to let down our hair.
Parties
The first year is the hardest, thats what everybody has said. We started with Kirsty and myself, now there is eight.
The party was a success, hairdressers love a party and the crew here are happy to party, so if their were no guests we would have fun, but as 150 to 200 people turned up over the course of the evening, a lot of fun was had. Im sure there was some sore heads after some cheap champagne and lots of Pimms. Im not putting any really messy photos, of which i have quite alot. To all of those that came out thank you. To everybody that has suppoerted Stevie English Hair over the last year thank you.
Pushplay At The Paddinton Inn
Yesterday Miss V, Zoe and Jake along with Adrian Alston and the crew from Pushplay put on an amazing show up at the Paddington Inn. We had a shoot going on whilst their were dancers models, Brazilian samba drums, artists.

Chamboard Shine Awards
I have a little late post this week. Stevie English has had another great week. We were asked to do hair for the Chamboard Shine Awards. We had a new member join the team and at last another boy in the place, so welcome Jake. And one of our busiest weeks ever in the salon. Thats my excuse for the late post.
The Chamboard Shine Awards were held at W hotel in Woolloomooloo Their were ten designers all up and coming, they had one model each to create one look. We worked with them closely to help perfect their vision. A few pics of the team back stage. The final pics will be going up on the gallerys on the salon website, not long till that is finished off. Yipee.
A couple of pics
Another nice pic of the salon, from Daniel. And then a serious re-style done by kirsty!

Glebe Street Festival
So its a Sunday and the team and i are out in force. Along with half of Sydney. Handing out flyers. We have had a chair doing some hair up outside. Thanks to all who came to say hello! We love Glebe!
Musical Chairs
Christmas draws nearer, and we ran out of chairs for the first time today. Its a problem we hoped to have! And its happened quicker. The new basin came this week, and will be plumbed in on Tuesday. We now have three. The English is growing in furniture and reputation. We came, we saw, we are conquered. Well almost and we are enjoying doing things our way.
Glebe street fair tomorrow, so all clients are welcome to come in for coffee, and and if you are new to the salon ,fancy having a coffee, please come check us out.
New Products From O&M
Christmas is around the corner, and we at the English are going off. This is the busiest time of year in the salon, so if you are thinking about making an appointment before your holiday - do it now!
We have had some new stock arrive, the new styling products from O&M and the Christmas packs from them (which not only look hot but are great too) and the travel packs from Kevin Murphy. Great presents, and also great to keep your hair in shape over the holiday period.
