Oribe Bombshell Blowout

Last Monday we hosted a Bombshell Blowout class at Wink. Oribe educators suggested the best Oribe product pairings and gave tips for sleek, voluminous blowouts on every type of hair, while our stylists showcased their talents.

A big thank you to our bombshell models- we had a blast!

Lustrous Holiday Hair

For instant holiday glamour, Vogue recommends Oribe 24K Gold Pomade. Just a hint adds super-rich gold highlights to holiday hair, from blowouts to up-dos. “In both dim candlelight and bright party settings it catches the light beautifully, and freshens up the face." Visit Wink Salon and Boutique to check out entire luxurious line of Oribe haircare products. See Vogue's tips for added holiday glitz here.

Nature-Inspired Winter Glamour in Verve Magazine

Don't miss the current issue of Verve, Asheville's smartest magazine for women. Our good friends and some of our favorite clients are featured in a fantastical creative photo shoot (see it here).

Wink University July: Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Keratin and Styling (10 photos) Another great day at Wink University! Paul Mitchell educator, Jenna Wilson, came by to teach us all about the Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Keratin Treatment. All of the winkers got to experience one. The benefits from this amazing deep conditioning treatment are 30% more shine, 67% color vitality, and 80% breakage....it leaves the hair soft, smooth and silky...and SO easy to style! Jenna also gave us a few blow-out styling tips. Thank you Jenna for yet another educational, hands on and fun class!
