the buzz: May 2010

We Love Ramona!

Ramona Kama, one of our new stylists at the Hive, makes awesome and gorgeous feather hair pieces. She hand picks each feather and creates a work of art. The feathers are hand dipped in various colors or left in their natural state. The pieces work much like hair extensions and are attached to a small section of hair. They can be wet, shampooed, styled, etc. They last for months, too! She does the feather extensions Wednesday through Saturday so make sure to make an appointment or just stop by to see her awesome creations! The feathers are great for all ages and are easy to manage even for children. They're suitable for short or long term wear and look awesome during any occasion. Call to make an appointment today or just stop by to check out her work!

Sunday Funday


Sunday Sunday Sunday!

Sunday is usually reserved for sleeping in, brunch, and laundry. Now, the Hive is open on Sundays so use that lovely day off to pamper yourself. Pencil in your next hair appointment on Sunday and avoid having to clean your apartment. You'll feel fresh and have great hair for work on Monday!

Open 11am - 7pm
Stylists Jill and Liz available

Elana Melissa Hill

Colorful yet subtle, organic yet architectural; her work is it's own. Each piece is different, unique, and beautiful. Stop by to see her inspiring works. They will be featured for the next several weeks.












Trust in Hair


In combination with the eco-oriented organization, Matter of Trust, The Hive Los Angeles was able to contribute to the ongoing oil clean-up crisis in the South.

Since becoming a business, The Hive has been recycling hair through this generous organization. They use hair clippings from salons, groomers, etc to create 'hair mats' which can be used effectively to soak up oil. They're a helpful tool made from a product that is readily available (since everyone gets their hair cut) and they're reusable. To read more about the organization please check out their website:

Over the months it has been difficult to get hair to Matter of Trust, but now with the increased demand due to the oil spill and people opening up their homes in the Southern U.S., we were able to donate the 36 pounds of hair that was collected over the past year. If you've had your haircut at The Hive in the past year, your hair was donated to cleaning up this devastating spill. So thank you!

We are still collecting and donating hair, but we're also in the market for used nylon (washed and ripped is fine). Nylon is also a key component in creating these hair mats. If you have any unwanted nylon, please feel free to drop if off at the Hive any time or at your next hair visit!

Again we would like to thank all of our clients for growing and cutting so much hair! Please check back for more updates about donations and collections being held at The Hive in the near future. And check out the Matter of Trust website!
