Wildilocks Major Update, October 2010 – Perth store is MOVING! & this means: a SALE!

October 12, 2010 By Cass

Dear Internet,

Wildilocks has been at the fantastic location of 808 Hay St for almost 5 years now. It’s been a crazy wild ride and during that time we’ve had many new staff, and opened two new salons; in Melbourne and just this year, in Wellington, New Zealand. But the time has come to say goodbye to the massive basement which has been the core of Wildilocks for so many years. Our lease is coming to an end, and it’s time for a change!

Wildilocks @ Base808 will be relocating to become Base108 – our new address where we will be opening in early November is 108 Barrack St. For anyone who ever went to Narcissist/Next Level Records – that is the space we are moving to! For those who don’t know, this is just at the end of the Murray St mall – and almost directly across from the new Off Ya Tree on Barrack St. The new salon area will be almost twice and big as at Base808, with all brand new furniture, basins and a different look & feel – more opulent and luscious, with a more vintage vibe. It will become our new flagship store with the most styling stations and the biggest floor area!

Now moving all our shop stock over to the new location is something we’re really not looking forward to, so Perth is in for a treat – the last one was so successful we’ve decided to do a much longer one this time around: we’re having a whole TWO WEEK long “buy one get one free” sale so we don’t have to move as much stuff! This will allow for new stock for the new shop, so we hope you’ll take advantage of this sale and buy a whole lot of gear – we’d really appreciate it! Please note the sale is for in stock items only (no orders or lay-bys).

We will officially close our doors on Hay St on October 27th, and re-open at 108 Barrack St between November 1st – 3rd.

We look forward to seeing you!

Giveaway: tickets to “Buried” in Perth – follow us on Twitter to win!

October 7, 2010 By Cass

Hey folks – we’ve got lots of very very exciting news coming next week, but to whet your appetite for free stuff (hint hint…!) we’ve got a great movie ticket giveaway to the movie Buried which opens today Australia-wide. This movie got a whopping 7.1/10 on Rotten Tomatoes.com so it’s definitely worth a look, wringing a seemingly impossible amount of gripping drama out of its claustrophobic premise, Buried is a nerve-wracking showcase for Ryan Reynolds’ talent. We have 8 season tickets up for grabs, but please note: this competition giveaway is for Perth only.

What do you need to do to win these tix? Easy:

Step 1) Follow us on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/wildilocks

Step 2) Watch today for our tweet instructing you how what to do to WIN one of 8 passes to Buried we have to give away courtesy of Icon Films.

Step 3) If you’re one of the first 8 people to reply, you will WIN! Tickets can be picked up in store at Wildilocks @ BASE808, 808 Hay St, Perth.

Keep watching Twitter today for our tweet, and the game is on!

Wildilocks @ Cuba is officially open in Wellington, New Zealand!

April 9, 2010 By Cass

Very exciting news, folks! Wildilocks @ Cuba is now officially open for all services!

The new salon is located at 225 Cuba St, Te Aro, Wellington, New Zealand (just up from Vivian St, next to Cafe Italiano and opening partly into the foyer of the Quality Comfort Hotel). Opening hours are 10am – 5pm Tues, Wed and Sat, and 10am – 7pm Thu and Fri. You can call us on (04) 803 3239 for appointments of enquiries, and you will be able to find all your favourite Wildilocks services, accessories and items at our new Cuba St location. We’ll have Kate, our travelling stylist, manning the helm for at least the first 6 months, following on from stints in both or Melbourne and Perth stores, and our new local stylists are Dominique and Charlotte, two very talented young ladies with a whole lot to give and much excitement to be part of the Wildilocks team.

We’d like to make special note that Wildilocks is the first salon to bring the Farouk Systems CHI range to Wellington, a more environmentally friendly and healthy option for permanent hair colour and hair lightening with ammonia free colour. We are also bringing Everescents, a fantastic 100% organic range of hair care products, as well as our favourite wild hair colours, Special Effects and Directions. If you haven’t tried any of these brilliant products yet, whether you’re really out there crazy colourwise, or more subtle, or perhaps you don’t even colour your hair but want to look after it in the healthiest and most environmentally friendly way – there’s something for you @ Wildilocks and we’d love to show you how much better our products are than the mainstream.

Good news for Kiwis who’d like to mail order too: we’ll be able to ship from our webstore for a cheaper price for many items (please note that we will give a refund when items are available to ship from NZ as we do still have greater stock of most items in our two Oz stores).

We look forward to welcoming you to our newest, shiniest salon and hope to see you soon!
