Get a New ‘Do

Monday, December 6th, 2010

Written by Megan Soyars

I have to say, one of the greatest haircuts I’ve gotten was in the City. I laid down a fi’ty plus tips, but walked out of the salon feeling like a million bucks. Feathered layers that fell just to my shoulders, and bangs that, for once, didn’t make me look a kid. (I’d tried bangs before in high school, but the stupid bowl cut look had made my age seem to drop into the single digits.)

Five months later, I needed a cut, but unfortunately at that time I was living in Wyoming. There were only two stylists in town, and after glancing into both shops, I chose the one which was not populated by balding cowboys and blue-haired old ladies. Two hours later, I walked out of Kathy’s Cuts  feeling like I needed a bag over my head. Gaw, what had happened to my chic city cut, I mourned.

I’m now back living in the City, and ready for another cut. Soon, my po’dunk look will disappear under the savoir-faire and sleek scissors of a NYC stylist.  I’m considering heading to Shampoo Avenue B for my New Year’s make-over. If you’re also looking for a make-over, you should consider them, too!

Shampoo Avenue B Salon, located in the Village on 42 Avenue B, is a soulful little salon. Ghetto-fab grafitti splashes across the walls, spiky chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and everything exudes that funky, feel-good vibe. You’re not only coming for a cut, you’re also coming for the atmosphere. So slide into a sleek leather chair and shimmy off with a great new ‘do.

The stylists at Shampoo Avenue B have worked for big-name celebs like Jimmy Page, Gerard Butler, and the band Shiny Toy Guns, but they pamper you with the same celeb service. Get a cut, coloring, highlights, or their trademark Brazillian Blowout. And don’t forget to use that student discount! A regular cut starts off at only $60, but with this 20% coupon, you can walk out of the salon with a Hollywood look for only thirty bucks! So head down to the Village today. Get a great look, a funky vibe, and A-list service.

Pretty Woman

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Although New York City boosts one of the hottest fashion scenes on the planet, my life here isn’t always conducive to looking my best. In the summer I’m too hot to feel pretty, in the winter I sometimes have to sacrifice personal style to stay warm, and during the school year my full schedule of work, an internship, and classes distract me so much that fashion is the last thing on my mind. La Petit Coquette has the solution to my style conundrum: picking out the perfect outfit when I’m already late for class is impossible, but with a drawer full of flirty, frilly bras and underwear I don’t have to forfeit feeling beautiful and confident when I’m in a rush. La Petit Coquette’s fabulous student discounts promise to add a much needed dose of sugar and spice to your underwear drawer: 10% off with your student ID, 15% off on your birthday with your student ID for sexy gift to yourself, and free bra fitting with your student ID.

Its 9:45 and you slept through your alarm again. With fifteen minutes to get to your first class, it looks like you’ll be wearing sweats to school again. Not to worry! La Petit Croquette’s lingerie will come to the rescue. Slip into one of their fun bra and underwear sets you got with one of their student discount coupons and suddenly those drab sweats feel like a designer dress. After all, real style isn’t about your outfit, its about your attitude, and an exciting new pair of underwear is an easy, fun way to make your attitude go from exhausted to confident and ready to take on the world.

I just want to talk about fashion…

Friday, October 16th, 2009

…here for a second. We’re in “The” City, for goodness sake! One of the greatest dressing cities in the world – many locals argue the greatest. But regardless of whether you care about that, you wear clothes – hope I’m right about that one – so you need to buy them. Isn’t that what we’ve all told our parents when softening debit card debates in recent years? (Actually, it isn’t for me. I use credit, which you really, really, really may want to do if you plan on ever getting an account, house, apartment, etc. At this age, we need to build our credit scores; if you don’t, you run the risk of never being granted a credit account in your twenties. I know of people :-/)

Since the age of 13, I’ve been a huge fashion enthusiast…the type that examines and critiques every runway look the day the show happens. So you can imagine my excitement upon learning that Loehmann’s department store carries Betsey Johnson, Calvin Klein, Free People, D&G, French Connection, the list goes on. If Forever 21 is your thing, great, it’s in Union Square. But these designers and brands make their clothes in higher quality. They last up to ten years rather than half of one, so finding a great piece of theirs for $10-$50 feels amazing. And when you’ve used this 20% off coupon, you’ll walk out of their with genuinely nice clothes, feeling that much more amazing.

Joan Collins tee by Free People
It’s getting cold and wintry about, so this shirt would be perfect for layering and still looking chic. Wear over a tank top of any length and color, and the design people see when you take off your coat will say, “I’m pretty and upbeat, and cutting edge.” You can layer pretty much any scarves or jackets over it as well.

DKNY Jeans Menswear Vest
Okay, this may look like a forward style (not to mention it’s “all over the spring runways,” as i can hear tyra or somebody say in an America’s Next Top Model episode), but trust me, throw one of these over a (white, black, or neutral) outfit you loved but have worn a million times, and it will make you and your aura look and feel fresh and unstoppable, I promise.

Both of the above labels, Free People and DKNY Jeans, are sold at Loehmann’s! Enjoy this coupon. Love, SM Mag.

Here’s a few more Clothing/Shoes coupons for advertisers I love:

Sacco Shoes is all over the city, great shoes and bags at good prices!

I wish I knew this deal existed earlier, I never got things hemmed cause I feared the price! Awesome!
