Jul. 31, 2008. It's Time For First Friday Once Again!

Friday, August 1 7:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. A Work of Will will be the featured entertainment this month at Salon True. A Work of Will is a vocal/guitar duo playing an eclectic mix of pop, folk and soul for your listening enjoyment. Molly Hicks and Jason Herrmann graduated from Temple University where they studied music. Upon entering the adult world, the two chums decided to play the following types of songs: 1. those they like, and 2. those that sound good! The result is an assortment of songs originally performed by the likes of Foo Fighters, Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, and some relatively obscure singer/songwriters. Got milk_shake? Haven't been in to see what all the buzz is about? What are you waiting for? First Friday is a wonderful time to stop by and see why Salon True and milk_shake were just featured in Philadelphia Style magazine's weekly newsletter. If you are interested in Philly's fashion and style scene, go out and pick one up today. Free food, free drinks, & live entertainment. You can't go wrong! Stop by. Bring a friend. Bring the family. You can even bring your dog. Salon True welcomes all!

Feb. 29, 2008. March 7th - Join us for an evening of entertainment.

Join us as we celebrate First Friday Main Line with a little bit of Irish flare. Come on out to Salon True in Ardmore and enjoy a Guinness, beer bread, ham sandwiches, and Irish potatoes. For your entertainment, we will be featuring the musical band SMYTH. SMYTH is a fun-loving band led by two sisters: Meghan, the entertaining lead-singer, who draws in fans with her awe-inspiring split kicks & jumps, and Maureen, who pounds on her acoustic guitar & complements her sister's voice, resulting in captivating harmonies. Nina Soto, with her funky, yet smooth bass sounds, & rocking drummer, Tom Mellon, produce the solid rhythms to get the crowd moving. When the position became vacant, Nina scanned the extensive talent pool at her alma mater, University of the Arts, and reeled in former classmate Justin Verechia for lead guitar. Together, SMYTH relates fascinating life stories with unequivocal sincerity and candor, such as their songs You're Still Breathing and Let's Get Out of Here, and then return to the playfulness and vivacity that they are known for, in hilarious tales of the single social scene, like fan favorites Acting Like a Guy, High Stakes, and Attract. Animated and enthusiastic, they hang out in the crowd, continuing to amuse their fans long after the show is over. They are a spirited band that spreads fun, humor, and entertainment with a touch of mischief everywhere they go.

Jan. 25, 2008. Please Join Us for February's First Friday Main Line

On the First Friday night of each month, you'll find exciting new ways to experience Arts, Culture and great Restaurants in a continuing theme that promotes The Main Line as a cultural destination. This month, Salon True will be featuring the works of photographer Dave Bazzel, gourmet foods provided by Tastefully Simple consultant Kathy Assenmacher, and chair massages by masseuse Samantha Czarnowski. Tastefully Simple consultant Kathy Assenmacher will be offering no less than 15 samples of this delicious line of gourmet food. Tastefully Simple offers a wide selection of convenient, easy-to-prepare foods designed to help people spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the rest of their lives. Products are sold by independent Tastefully Simple consultants primarily at home taste-testing parties nationwide. Come hungry! Biography - Dave Bazzel Photographer Dave Bazzel is the son of an artist, an art teacher, a renaissance man really. Although being exposed to a wide range of media at a young age, Dave took the 'specialist' road and was quite successful in photography at any early age. As a teen, Dave excelled in photojournalism and won three first place awards at the nationally recognized Columbia Scholastic Press Review for his work as editor-in-chief and photographer. Having laid the camera down for a time to raise a family and pursue other career goals, Dave is now building a compelling portfolio of mainly classic landscapes and seascapes in both color and black and white infrared film. Many of his pieces, one could say, evoke visual and technical inspiration. But as Dave would be quick to point out, there is always room for improvement. As was the case earlier in his life, he is quickly making his mark by exhibiting in some of the top fine arts festivals in the northeast United States. He is currently also carefully expanding his presence in various art and photography galleries. Dave says, 'I've told my children as they've gotten older to pursue something that you truly love. Those things that you love you will develop and learn with a heart motive, and as a result will be ultimately successful. Photography for me is the singular thing I excelled at. My eyes saw and my mind comprehended. I believe it is a special gift from God to me, for which I am very grateful. As I age and look back at my life's work and the level of success the public ascribes to it, I will be at peace because, occupationally speaking, I am home.' Dave uses a Pentax medium-format camera, Fuji slide film and prints to traditional Fuji photographic paper. His unique method employs digital darkroom techniques in the middle of the process and traditional products at each end. Every image Dave produces is taken on a tripod. Each is treated with extreme attention to detail and care every step along the way. All color and black and white images are available in four sizes and are matted on acid-free archival matting. www.davebazzel.com

You will receive 10% off retail products & we will donate an additional 10% to the Young Survival Coalition. Pink is the colour for October 2007. This year's heavenly hot pink IV styler has arrived. Created for Breast Cancer Awareness month, it has been much lusted after by Urban Angels and A-listers everywhere. Last year alone, almost $100,000 was raised in the United States for the Young Survival Coalition (YSC) through the 'Power of Pink' campaign. The stylers that styled a thousand catwalks. Preferred by the world's top sessions stylists, supermodels and celebrities, ghd stylers are the best. The effect is smooth and even; controlled heat means the hair isn't pulled and stretched; and there's an unbeatably healthy gloss. Yes, you can straighten - but you can also curl, twist, flick, wave, bounce, ringlet, lift, frizz and just about anything else your heart desires. Thanks to their incredible versatility, ghd stylers let you change your style as often as you change your outfit. This year's pink comes with a gorgeous hot pink carry case and convenient detachable roll mat. Both are must have accessories this autumn, their heat resistance making them utterly alluring. Two hot pink clips help to section hair for easier styling, a perfect pink package. The launch is already attracting the attention of the international fashion pack. With Naomi Campbell, Madonna, Sienna Miller and Cameron Diaz, just a handful of the rich and famous on the waiting list.

Sep. 13, 2007. Salon True Opens in September (Main Line Times)

Affordable Luxury Arrives in Ardmore. Who says luxury has to be expensive? At Salon True, the full service hair salon is now open in Ardmore, PA; anyone can feel pampered without the premium price. Making a superior salon experience attainable for all women, as well as men for that matter, without sacrificing quality was at the route of founder Tamera Salvucci's philosophy when she created the concept for Salon True. She felt that whether you are behind a computer all day or chasing after your kids, everyone deserves some time to indulge and feel good about themselves. Salon True is a relaxing haven where you will receive exceptional service from the area's top stylists who work with only the finest products in a fun and casual atmosphere. From your initial consultation, the staff at Salon True will listen to what you want while educating you on the process and application you'll undergo during your visit. The stylists and hair care artists at Salon True use only the highest quality products for every service to ensure you'll leave the salon feeling and looking like your best self. From free beverages to complimentary “color saver” after each single process to promote your color's longevity, you'll be overwhelmed with the level of service and pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices so you can afford to keep coming back. While researching some of the world's top salons, Tamera realized their tried and true philosophy of paramount service in an inviting atmosphere was exactly her vision for Salon True so she set out to recreate that vibe back at home. “While exploring the salons in Soho, Manhattan, I immediately thought of how closely the neighborhood resembled Ardmore's quaint streets,” says Tamera Salvucci, founder of Salon True. “I knew then that I had to bring the Soho salon experience home but at an affordable price.” . Salon True is located at 29 W. Lancaster Avenue, Ardmore PA. For store hours and a complete list of services and prices, visit www.salontrue.net or call us at 484.572.TRUE (8783).
