Please explain! 

End of run stock includes high end professional hair care and styling products we are no longer stocking at the salon. It also includes stock that has been scratched or dented in transport. We are very pedantic about what we display in-salon, so you will find that many of the products on sale have barely noticeable markings. Should you wish, there will also be an opportunity to grab current salon stock at discounted prices.

Ok,that may be a bit OTT, but this sale is seriously something!

Enjoy.

We’re still in celebration mode with the launch of our fashion friendship with RMIT. The occasion has, however, given us cause to take a magnificent trip down memory lane. We think back fondly to the design collaboration entered into with Melbourne graphic design studio Housemouse. Enjoy this blast from the past featured in mecho: the style black book.

Welcome to the official launch of the Blondes to Brunettes + RMIT Fashion Friendship: 365 Days of Design by RMIT Fashion Design Students.

Coming soon.

Boutique hair salon Blondes to Brunettes joins RMIT University to launch a fashion friendship that will see some of the university’s top up-and-coming fashion talents on show at the Prahran salon in 2010. The unique collaboration will provide fashion design students with the opportunity to gain valuable exposure for their creative work.

November 30, 2009 – Prahran salon Blondes to Brunettes and Melbourne’s RMIT University officially launched today the 2010 Blondes to Brunettes + RMIT Fashion Friendship: 365 Days of Design by RMIT Fashion Design Students.

The unique collaboration between RMIT University and Blondes to Brunettes will see the Prahran hair and beauty salon’s window transformed into an exciting exhibition space showcasing installations by RMIT’s top up-and-coming fashion design talents.

Student creations will be exhibited on High Street – one of Melbourne’s prominent shopping strips. Exhibiting students will also receive a complementary professional photo shoot, an album of digital images, and assistance with promotional materials, media exposure and PR.

Fashion lecturer Peter Allan congratulated Blondes to Brunettes for supporting young designers.

“This friendship between RMIT Fashion Design and Blondes to Brunettes provides a great opportunity to our third year fashion students to get some fantastic exposure for their work. Fashion at RMIT is about being cutting edge and experimental which follows the same ethos as B2B,” Mr Allan said.

In the spirit of the season, RMIT students Takahiro Kunitoshi and Ayisha Tutone will debut their creation in the Blondes to Brunettes window this month with a joint interpretation of the concept of giving.

Blondes to Brunettes owner Jane Smith said that the link between the fashion, hair and beauty industries is inextricable.

“We are proud to support RMIT Fashion and some of Australia’s top fashion designers of the future by providing a platform for exposure as we are all a part of the same vibrant creative community,” Ms Smith said.

The fashion friendship is set to run through 2010 and beyond.

RMIT University continues its commitment to quality fashion relationships, adding this friendship to its student showcase partnership with the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival.

Blondes to Brunettes has previously exhibited creations by RMIT graduate Nadia Pearse of Made In Donald and current student Stacey Berry. The salon has also hosted a standout installation by eco-friendly wrapping paper brand Wrapped by housemousetm.
