Once again, Mouton's Salon is sponsoring the fourth annual Sunset Concert Series of Grapevine, every Saturday night in October. Each week will feature a different musical act. This week features the Lone Star Jazz Orchestra. A real crowd favorite. This is Big Band at its best! The swingingest 15 piece band in the land with a traditional Big Band sound. This band plays hits from the 40's and 50's such as; In the Mood, Little Brown Jug, Satin Doll, Sing, Sing, Sing, Fly Me to the Moon, and many, many more. If you like Glen Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Woody Herman, Stan Kenton and Count Basie, you will love the Lone Star Jazz Orchestra. Even if you're not a big band fan, you've got to love the idea of an early fall evening, listening to music on a blanket on the lawn of the Grapevine Botanical Gardens, while sipping your favorite beverage or enjoying some popcorn and snacks. If you weren't aware that Grapevine had botanical gardens, then you've been missing a treat. Please join us this Saturday night, starting at 7. Please stop by our table to say hello and register for some fun give-aways.

Trend Release

We recently held our semi-annual trend release, showcasing both trends in hair and clothing. Lindsay Huckins, Michelle Molina and Jessica Mathews worked very diligently and many long hours to produce this release. They were assisted by a group of supporting teammates which included Leslie Sowell, Sherri Long and Jenny Myers. Lindsay and her team did a fantastic job and the results were stunning. Great job ladies! If you missed the show this season, please ask about your invitation to the next trend release. You will get to witness what our stylists can do with their wonderful creativity. This year, the theme was art gallery styled, and you can see from the pics that we created a gallery feel inside our four walls. Very cool. Look for a couple of videos of the show on our FaceBook page. To learn a bit more about what our release focused upon, go to our website home page and click on the "Daytime Hair, Nighttime Fashion" link, or simply click on the link below.

The Global Hair and Fashion Group is an organization of some of the U.S. and Europe’s most creative salons. Bringing hairstyle and high fashion together is the group’s mission when members gather to brainstorm the latest trends and interpret the results for their salon clients. The group’s creative vision takes them to the world’s fashion capitals for regular photo sessions, the most recent of which was shot in New York. Color, highly nuanced and shown off through a variety of cuts and textures, was the focus of the Global Hair and Fashion Group’s latest venture.
The Color Code collection was a collaboration of six member salons from the U.S. and Germany. The team created blondes that incorporate tones of icy platinum, warm honey and deep, rich shades at the root. A sleek brunette sports shifting shades of mahogany that change with the light and accent the lines, and a stunning red head features a deep crimson fringe.
The styles were designed to grow out cleverly, offering re-styling options and changing tonal shades.
Photographer Tom Carson shot the collection against backgrounds of glass and reflective aluminum to light the color from within.
