You may recall we announced a short while back that Wildilocks Melbourne would be MOVING in September! – and the good news for everyone is this means – SALE TIME!! We have masses of stock we’d really not rather have to truck over to our new North Melbourne location – which means we are going to be, literally, GIVING IT AWAY!

That’s right, you know what that means – it’s BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE time – for TWO WHOLE WEEKS! And not just Melbourne but Perth as well is getting into the action, to help us pay for the move. Get into it from 11am tomorrow!

We’ll post again soon with our firm dates for moving in Melbourne, until then – stay WILD 😀

Hi there dames & dudes! It’s been almost 6 months since our last sale, and so you are probably coming to expect one roughly at these kinds of intervals, amirite?

Well, I’m pleased to say those of you answering in the affirmative will not be disappointed this week! We’ve had a massive amount of stock arrive last week and our clothing racks are groaning and stuffed to the gills! “We’ve got no rooooom!” our staff are crying – so what to do?! We’re making room by giving away 1 free item with every 2 purchased (of equal or lesser value) from ALL our clothing stock – ALL THIS WEEK! Yes this is everything this time, NOT just summer stock – this sale includes corsets, skirts, tops, jackets, dresses and more, from ALL our brands including Phaze, Nubia/Vodabox, Dolly Q, Axfords, Timeless Trends, Iblis, SpaceTribe, Chicstar, and our own Locks Gear brand too! We have a lot of fun alternative clothing and even more of the “hippie” type stuff than before as so many of our newer staff have been of this ilk :))

Some very sweet new Rockabilly items especially in this haul including skull & roses and Day of the Dead dresses and NEW guy’s shirts that are HOT – little clutch purses and Cherry Halter Neck dresses plus cat trousers, faery sleeve tops & pants, super cute embroidered bustierre tops, lacy shrugs and a whole lot more.

So come down anytime between 27-31 March and grab some fabulous frocks and jocks! This sale is first in best dressed – there will be no rainchecks, holds or laybys and this sale will not be extended!

Also, as Easter Weekend is coming up soon, we would like to let you know that all Wildilocks stores will be closed on 6-7 April to give our hardworking staff some well earned rest and time to eat chocolate. We will be open as normal on 9th April though 🙂

Hope to see you this week!

Wow – our staff have gone ALL out to create a wonderful Haunted House at our Wildilocks salons, especially Melbourne where our Halloween sale continues for THREE MORE DAYS! But don’t forget Perth – LAST DAY of the sale today as we are closed for the CHOGM weekend! Also please note Melbourne is closed for Melbourne Cup Day on Tuesday Nov 1st 🙂

If you miss the physical shop sales, remember our webstore sale is on right through til 31st October and is valid for orders INCLUDING New Rocks!

Check out all the amazing images below, and make sure you do your best to get down there in person – they look even better in real life! Plus: you’ll get Treats!! :DDD

Hey everyone! It’s now less than a week til that favourite time of the alternative calendar year: Samhain! Or as tis more commonly celebrated in the Americas: Halloween.

So far Wildilocks has resisted the call to go all out for this particular holiday, though we have occasionally sported a giant arachnid for fun, or dressed up as zombies, but this year, we couldn’t help ourselves!

We are for 2011 celebrating the most spooky time of the year with a WEEK LONG HALLOWEEN SALE! That’s right, from 25 – 31st October we are offering 20% off ALL clothing & accessories: that includes all pants, tops, jackets, corsets, skirts, hair falls, hats, New Rock Boots, jewelery, EVERYTHING*! And not only is this at all Wildilocks stores, but it’s ONLINE too on our webstore! AND this sale also counts for orders, so if you’ve been thinking of buying something, but we don’t have it in stock, as long as the order is paid 100% during the sale week, you can get orders for 20% off as well, INCLUDING New Rocks! This is the first and possibly only time we will take 20% off New Rock orders!

And as an extra special added bonus, when you come in to Wildilocks during our Halloween sale, if you come up to the front desk and say “Trick or Treat” you will get – well, one or the other!!! So make sure you drop in and say hi, and grab yourself a Halloween bargain!

Have a wonderful week, people – and stay SPOOKY!

*not valid for salon services or products, magazines, auctions, or laybys not paid in full during the sale period

Also please note Perth store is closed this Friday and Saturday due to the CHOGM meeting long weekend, so the sale only runs for 3 days in the Perth store, so get in early!

Hey ladies and gents,

We’re upping the ante, and we now have a magnificent 50% discount on our summer stock clearance this week! If you saw something last week that caught your eye, but you couldn’t quite afford, or haven’t yet been in but want to beat the last minute rush – now’s the time to have a look at our still healthily laden sale rack! We have mini skirts, tops, dresses, ALL tshirts – huge range of summery stuff walking out the door at 50% off this week.

Also, a small note to let you know our Melbourne store is closed today in lieu of yesterday’s Labour Day holiday, so you will have to wait til Wednesday to dive in! Apologies if that inconveniences anyone!

Hey folks, Wildilocks has a bunch of news for you this month.

Firstly, we’re announcing a sale to end all sales – for the first time at ALL stores: starting TOMORROW and going for three whole weeks!

MASSIVE March Markdown Summer Stock SELLOUT!

For 3 massive weeks, Wildilocks will be progressively reducing summer clothing stock, from 25%, to 50%, to a massive 75% off!! This includes all tank tops, summer dresses, vintage swimwear, miniskirts, tshirts and more, from brands such as Phaze, Threadless, DollyQ, Random Faerie, Sylph, Spacetribe and many more! Take your chances and wait til the last week for the biggest bargains… or rush in this week to make sure the item you’ve had your eye on hasn’t sold out!

Week 1: 25% off (8th-12th March)
Week 2: 50% off (15th-19th March)
Week 3: 75% off (22nd-26th March)

You won’t see prices like this for a loooong time, if ever: and we can guarantee you some styles once sold out we will not be able to restock – so now’s your chance! Please note this sale is IN STORE only, as most items are not on the webstore!

Circa Nocturna!
The alternative fashion show that we all love each year is on again Saturday March 12th! As always Wildilocks will be there to support alt fashion, and will be designing some cool hair for some of the designers on the night. DollyQ will be showing us all how it’s done, and her distinct corsetry and other fab designer ‘wares are available at all three Wildilocks salons as well as on our web store: www.wildilocks.com/webstore/. You can buy tickets for Circa from Moshtix this year, head here to buy – it’s only a few days away now! One or two spaces still available to get your hair done the Wildilocks way in our Melbourne salon on this date so you also look amazing, but these are almost full! Call (03) 9642 3384 if you’d like to see if we can squeeze you in.

Rouge Foncé!
Our favourite rock-cabaret band Rouge Foncé is coming in to play with Wildilocks soon for more vintage hair delight! If you caught them at Euchronia (and if you missed Euchronia BOY did you miss something grand!) then you’d understand why we love to style hair for these gals – they are hot and rock the vintage glam do’s we create with an edge of punk and a huge dollop of awesome. (sigh). Check out the site, catch them at a gig and as soon as we have some new pics of vintage hair on these babes we’ll be posting those all over including on…

Tumblr!
Wildilocks is now on Tumblr! OMG how we love Tumblr. **sparkle** Check out our page as we post all the cool things that inspire us, and make us love working with hair and alternative fashion. We love any excuse to create amazing things, and we’d love to create them on YOU! We have already loaded up pics of beautiful and exciting work, and we are so ready to play. We are also VERY keen to answer your burning hair and fashion questions, so if you have a question you’d like us to answer, head over to our ask page asap!

Gallery!
And now that we are showing off…we have updated our website gallery with lots of new images and restored some others that we had prior to updating our gallery program (to one that is much cooler). Are you there? Wanna be? If you have had your hair done by Wildilocks and you wanna share then email your pics to and tell us about your awesome experience. Can’t wait to see what you send us!

Training
OK, got you all excited? Wanna have something fabu done with your hair and save a little cashola while you do? Then fill in our model registry for any of our three salons and tell us what you are interested in. We call models based on the requested styles, the training topics available at the time and the times that are suitable for training in each salon (these will vary). If you ever wanted to try a Vintage style, a splash of colour or some extensions then this is a great way to start your Wildilocks addiction. (mwhahaha…ohh wait…)

Chicstar and other awesomeness
Chicstar is a new label for us and our first order will be coming in the very near future, we are very excited about adding this label, they have a huge variety of very cool alternative clothing that we know you will love. We’ll add them to the web store asap, but if you can’t wait (we can’t) then drop into our salons and check it out from early April! And while you are there check out other great items we have: awesome accessories like kitty ears, tails, UV Nail polish, pocket watches and more. We love love love labels such as DollyQ, Phaze, Nubia (new winter stock will be arriving April as well!) and our own Wildilocks label “LockGear”; boasting the world’s coolest and most comfortable phat jeans (omg they’re amazing, you need these to live), awesome tops, skirts and pants, all 100% unisex and all 100% Wildilocks. We also have an increasing stock of excellent ALT magazines, including Coilhouse, Fiend Magazine, Hit&Miss for rollerderby fans, and for the slightly saucy, we have Filament. If you like to shop online, we ship worldwide!

That’s all for this month: we’ll send some reminders of the MMMSSS sale over the next few weeks, so you don’t miss out!

xoxo

The Wildilocks Team

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!
