ELEMENTARY SET

We are very excited to announce that, in addition to our ever-growing apothecary of magic hair potions, SEAGULL will begin periodically spotlighting super-special treasures and totems by our favorite artists. We are now carrying bracelets from our favorite jewelry line, Elementary Set, created by the artist, curator and professor Jonathan Berger. Influenced by the work of philosophically driven companies including Charles and Ray Eames, SUPERSTUDIO, and SITE Projects, Berger makes brilliantly minimal solid brass pieces inspired by the beauty and boldness of essential geometric shapes. We're featuring our fave bracelet from the collection, a moveable hollow cube bauble on a simple, elegant band--the perfect experimental bijoux to adorn your wrist for summertime hand modeling sessions, in size small or large (pictured.)

Important Information: Interpreting the Scrunchie

This Sunday, the New Museum and DIS Magazine will host a lecture given by David Riley (Mirror Mirror) dissecting the trajectory of the scrunchie in popular culture, from mass-market novelty hair accoutrement to fashion's most reviled elastic.

Interpreting the Scrunchie takes place at 3:00pm in the New Museum Theater this Sunday the 14th. Here's hoping the lector will also use this opportunity to tackle the Topsy Tail, that awesomely scary hair prolapse instrument whose infomercials tormented/captivated little girls in the 90s with visions of impossibly glossy swaths of hair performing Escherian contortions.

Curl Talk.

 
Girl. You got curls?

We love curly hair here at Seagull--whether you're sporting ringlets, waves, kinks, or swirls, we think you look great when you rock your hair's own gorgeous natural texture.

We get a lot of questions about curly styling, so we've put together some step-by-step tips courtesy of our resident curl expert Laura. Read on for a how-to on rocking killer curls for springtime.

Kevin Murphy: Fresh Hair . . . Dry Shampoo in a Can!

Kevin Murphy has stepped up his game and revamped his dry shampoo FRESH.HAIR. Now in a sleek aerosol can for better spray action, the new and improved formula contains a tiny trace of powder that eliminates grease, leaves a light fresh scent, and keeps your hair looking clean and sexy between washings. If, like us, your hair looks its best the day after you wash, this is your secret weapon for extending those good hair days. It's also a prime tool for giving your hair some extra thickness if styling/updos are on the menu, and it's a perfect quick fix for de-greasing "tired" bangs. Stop by the salon to sample or shop for FRESH.HAIR by Kevin Murphy online.

The lovely mint boxes of EASY.RIDER are flying off our shelves as a grooming cream for short cuts and naturally curly hair. HAIR.RESORT is for windblown lions' manes, and FRESH.HAIR is kinda like febreeze for hair! Stop by the salon to sample or buy them here. More of our favorites:
