Welcome to My Hairdresser Says!

Have you ever listened to the chatter that happens in a good, busy, salon? You know the conversation's going to be buzzing about what's going on in town, who's got a new restaurant, who's having a sale, where to get the best deal on just about anything! When I moved cross country to live with my  boyfriend, now husband, I knew only two people, and they gave me the name of their hairdresser, Donna. Fortunately for me,not only is she the BEST  hairdresser ever, but we became close friends ,and I would ask her for advice on where to get everything from a mani-pedi, to the best consignment shops, specialty shops, doctors, dentists-anything and everything- you get the drift. Donna always hit it right--she's been in business  in the Boulder area with her salon 'La Penache' for 32 yrs, and knows everything that you need to know about where to go! One day while sitting in her chair I jokingly said we should write a book about her favorite places,services, things to do, etc. in the city of Boulder, CO and the surrounding areas such as Louisville,Lafayette, and Denver. We finally came up with this blog, so we could share all the good tips she's passed on throughout the last eight years! She's a wealth of information and we want to spread it around!  If you love going to your hairdresser's, (and who doesn't?), and he or she has been in business for at least five years and has given you great tips about what's going on in your city or town, we want you to share it! 

Thanks! Marnie and Donna

Best Hairdresser in Plymouth, MA

Lucky for me I spend the summer months in Plymouth Ma, and of course, have a favorite hairdresser who keeps me up on all there is to know. CJ's her name and she works her magic at the newly re- designed REJUVENATIONS SALON on state Road in Plymouth. She's an amazing colorist and gives a mean cut too! Call them at 508.224.7566 and Nancy set you up ASAP.  They also do great facials and offer many types of skincare products...whatever you need you can find it there!

 

Amazing Tech Design

Thanks to Donna, I have a wealth of information right at the tip of her very talented fingers! And of course, I'd be crazy not to add the fabulous gals at IMAGINATION TECHNOLOGY who designed this great looking blog for me. Being somewhat artistically challenged, I was a bit daunted at the thought of having to come up with ideas of what I wanted it to look like, how to run it, all the stuff that I have no clue about.  I was thrilled to have a chance to work with Robin and Dina. Robin's the creative director, and had sent me a list of questions to answer before our meeting. From my scatterbrained answers she was able to work with me  and come up with the great graphics on my blog. Dina had the task of explaining how the whole thing works, posting, organizing, etc. Without their expertise in this field, I would not be up and blogging. Kudos to you talented tech woman who made this all happen! If you have an idea and need a team to make it happen, check them out at www.imaginationtechnology.com or call 720.771.7274.  Tell them Marnie and Donna say hi!

The Kitchen - Boulder CO

True enough,  there are many fabulous eateries, cafes, bistros, whatever you want to call them, there's no shortage of good food to be found in Boulder. But Donna turned me on to this place almost the minute it opened, and hubby and I have been going there ever since. The Kitchen Cafe on 1039 Pearl St. in Boulder  is bar far the best!--- a farm to table restaurant, great wine list, a community night, funky atmosphere, and consistently the best food in Boulder. They also have an upstairs , casually decorated and more intimate than downstairs, where they serve a lighter menu. It's got it all! Great place to maxatate and relaxatate (I so like to make up words!) They even send you a birthday card--yippee! Call them at 303.544.5973  and make a rezzie--you'll  be glad you did. They also serve a kick-ass brunch!

A Denver Fave

Okay, Donna turned me on to this talented lady in Boulder first, then she moved her business to Denver, and I'm still going to see her. She's quite the artist with eyebrows! Brows By Shauna, is on  1444 E Wazee St. Denver, 80202. You can find her online, or call 303 917 5259. 

She is absolutely THE BEST BROW BABE in the biz! As she always tells her clients, 'Eyebrows frame your face!' Ever see anyone with brows that are too skinny and not shaped right? Well, Shauna can fix that and make anyone look fantastically gorgeous. She also does eyelash extensions which are some kind a wonderful! Definitely worth a visit to Denver!

The BEST Dentist in Boulder

By far, one of the best recommendations Donna ever gave me was for my dentist! (I admit, I am one of those rare people that actually enjoys going to the dentist-yikes!), but this one is over the top fabulosity at its finest! Her name is Carolyn Kupka, on 3100 Arapahoe St , Suite 303, Park Place in Boulder, CO 80303,303.444.2884. A visit to her office is more like going to a day spa. You can listen to music,have a hand and foot massage, or just cuddle under a luxuriously cozy blanket, all while having your teeth cleaned, xrayed, -whatever you need. And done by her expertly trained, highly qualified  all female staff! The ladies room alone is worth the trip! My teeth have never looked better, and so will yours!

Donna's Fave Specialty Shop

When I was looking for a unique birthday gift, Donna sent me to Timbalier, just around the corner from her salon. It's on  2270 Arapahoe St, Lafayette ,CO 80026. She was sooooo RIGHT!!!! This store is AMAZING! It's run by John, Spike, and their dog Tyler! If you're looking for cocktail napkins, fabulous jewelry, funky greeting cards, art, Baggallini handbags, candles,cool baby and toddler things--this is where you need to go! Call them at 303.666.4200 or go visit and tell them Donna and Marnie sent you! You'll love it!
