Thanks to all of our clients and friends who voted for us as Vancouver's Best Hair Salon in the 2006 and 2007 Georgia Straight!

Caramel is now open on Sundays from 10-5. Sunday is a great day to have your hair done if you enjoy a quieter and more relaxed salon environment than your experience on a Saturday.

Just back from New York the CARAMEL team learned new techniques from some of the best in the business. Celebrity stylist Ted Gibson was the highlight this year. Ted is an amazing artist and wonderful person, sharing his editorial tricks with us. Nick Arrojo was also there, and did some great work as usual. The coolest thing we saw was Christophe Martin's new underground show, "Arelquin." It took place in a very old synangogue and it was simply incredible. The man is a true genius.

Michael was interviewed and featured in The Province newspaper in Kerry Moore's column for Wednesday October 18th. Michael was asked about new looks and did a new men's modern cut.

Caramel co-owner Liz Abreu was mentioned in this month's GLOW Magazine. She did a fabulous makeover on Lianne Kerr. Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy Lianne.

Caramel Salon was asked to be the first salon to do a makeover for The Life Network's hit new show, "Crash Test Mommy." Michael did a beautiful new cut, colour and highlighting for an over worked Mommy. This episode aired October 6th at 5pm and 8pm on the LifeNetwork.

If you missed it, your favorite Caramel stylists were on Global Television Sunday, July 24, Sunday July 31 and Sunday August 7th at 9:40am and again at noon. We were asked to do six makeovers for Global's Noon News show and Eric, Lindsay, Melissa, Marc and Cherry did some beautiful work. It's great that we were asked and we thank Global's Robin Stickley for the opportunity to show our stuff.

It s wih great sadness that we've closed our Broadway salon, but it is with great happiness that we've moved all the Broadway staff into a new, bigger, and even nicer salon space in a great area. CARAMEL has now opened directly across the street from STATIK on Granville. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause for our valued clients, but the new salon does have free parking in the back and is only 7 minutes from where the Broadway location was. Call us at 604.731.5112 to book your appointments, and we look forward to serving you at CARAMEL, one of Vancouver's most beautiful salon environments.

Most of the Statik team was in Los Angeles Februaury 5-9th taking a razor cutting class with TLC's famous stylist, Nick Arrojo. Statik strives to bring our clients the best and most current techniques from the most influential stylists in the world. No other company works as hard as we do for our clients. Book today for the latest in New York styling in Vancouver.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT DURING OUR CUT-A-THON ON SUNDAY JANUARY 9 TO AID THE RED CROSS'S EFFORT IN ASIA. WITH YOUR HELP WE WERE ABLE TO RAISE $2000.

Statik is proud to announce the launch of STATIK Vancouver. There is a definite lack of affordable haircare products with outstanding performance, we decided to enter the market ourselves. Working with the best chemists in the business has allowed us to create a truly great and ethical product line adressing the true needs of clients today, by us for you. Come in and check it out.

Back from New York where we attended the world's largest show, IBS and it was great. Our personal favorite was Ruth Roche, as she was hilarious and so real while showing her brilliance. Her work is so great, truly one of the best stylists ever. Paul Mitchell's Robert Cromeans was is usual inspiring self, getting the crowd whipped into the usual frenzy when he takes the stage. We went to Arrojo Studio, had a visit with "What Not To Wear"'s Nick Arrojo. Cool new salon, and man are they busy. Nick put us on the guest list for his small new show, "Dunkleheit." It was very cool, very New York, awesome hair and we sat in front of legend Yosh Toya in this tiny underground theatre full of NYC's hair and fashion VIPs. All in all a great show. We'll be there next year.

Statik Salon was proud to be featured on Global Television's "Noon News Hour" for our bridal styling. Christopher was interviewed and filmed while doing one of his fantastic up-styles. Schedule your wedding styling soon, as he's almost fully booked for this year's edding season.

Statik stylists flew to Paris in October for the annualMondial Coiffure show. The main stage was awesome, with some of the best work we've seen. Fully choreographed, georgeous models, couture clothing, brilliant stylists.

On April 27th, our team attended very small, personal, two day class with one of the world's best, Nick Arrojo. Among his many accomplishments, Nick is the stylist on the show, "What Not To Wear." Nick taught us some great cutting and razoring techniques and I feel confident that my team will be able to give our clients fresher, more modern looks that they cannot get anywhere else, outside of Nick's salon in midtown Manhatten.

Statik The Salon is pleased to announce the launch of our new TOLL-FREE phone number for all of our out-of-town clients. The call is on us, at 1-866-4STATIK.
