"Tropical Depression" 

DJ Set by: Gothic Tropic

Saturday February 3rd 8-11 pm 

The Hive Highland Park 5670 York Blvd. 

Nicholas Capaldi's new work "Tropical Depression" embraces the relationship between strength and failure. His paintings, drawings and collages are inspired by the theme of purgatory on vacation. The haunting landscapes balance the fall of character and ego and question the glamorization of death.

DJ Set by Gothic Tropic introdudes a new brand of female fronted, guitar-driven indie rock. The brainchild of Cecilia Della Peruti, Gothic Tropic keeps the vibe playful and punchy, bringing audiences into a new ear of female rock nobility, nodding to stars like Debbie Harry and Chrissie Hynde. Delivering a blend of Richard Lloyd and Nile Rodgers on guitar, Della Peruti has won sponsorships with Fender and leading pedal manufacturers and works professionally as a touring and session player for Charli XCX, BORNS and more!

Heather Chapman Braid Queen Bee

This past monday The Hive had the great honor to host a hair braiding class by hair guru and braiding queen, Heather Chapman. She has recently catapulted herself to instagram fame by posting elaborate and beautiful photos of her up-styling and braid work. A couple months ago our stylist Amanda came in contact with Heather via instagram and volunteered The Hive to host a future class. We were so thrilled to be able to have her in the salon and welcome other like-minded stylists to learn what the master has to say. Leading up the class we provided the salon with the opportunity to compete for a ticket to the class by whoever got the most likes on a photo of the hair they've done in salon. Our stylist Ash won the competition with a landslide of 169 likes on a photo of silver/gray hair he did. With Heather at the realm of this class we couldn't wait to see what she would do. She created 4 different looks in a couple of hours using traditional braids and her signature of pulling them out big and loose. Her first look was a dutch braid, an upside down dutch braid, rope braid updo and finished with an epic mohawk fish tail braid. We can't wait for the opportunity for our clients looking for some holiday hair styling to feel as inspired about braids as we do now. Here's some highlight photos from the class! Thanks Heather!!!

Wella Instamatic // Pastel Color

A couple months ago Wella, our color provider, introduced a new color line called Instamatic. It's a perfect way to add a matte demi-permenant pastel color to your hair. The line provides mint, baby blue, pink, mauve and lavender hues to prelightened hair. The great part is your hair doesn't have to be lightened very light for the hues to show up, it works well in brunettes as well. As most soft colors do it washes out after 4-6 washes which is a perfect way to add a splash of color to your tresses for the holiday season! Come in for a complimentary consultation today and talk to your stylist about it!

Autumn Trend Alert: Bronde

We're sure you've heard and seen the latest trend called Bronde. Maybe you've asked yourself the same question many of our clients have asked us... What is it exactly?

Bronde simply means brown/blonde. It's great for clients who still want the depth of being brunette but aren't quite committed to the dedication of blonde. This color technique goes well with warmer skin tones and can be used to highlight specific facial areas. We've been doing this trend very often in the salon, turning sun lightened hair into a more natural looking or less maintenance hair color. Some of our favorite celebrities with this color are Elizabeth Olsen, Cara Delevingne and Rosie Hunington-Whiteley. Take a peek at some of the colors that have inspired us and maybe you'll feel inspired too!
