Pretty City celebrates Salon Ziba's 20th Anniversary


Happy Birthday
Salon Ziba!

Pretty City helped celebrate Salon Ziba's 20th Anniversary with a Girls Night Out event. They previously hosted the Beauty Sample Sale with SHAPE magazine in the fall, so I know their events are a can't miss! I had so much fun sipping drinks and eating sweet cupcakes/cookies (don't they look delish?) with friends.

In case you don't know, Pretty City provides reviews on salons and spas in major cities across the United States (ie: NYC, Chicago, Miami) and hosts beauty events as well. Be sure to check out their site before you go to any spa or salon!

Over 200 people were invited to get makeovers, hair blow-outs and manicures at Salon Ziba in New York City. There were about 10-15 stylists working hard to get everyone's hair gorgeous that night. Thanks to the Salon Ziba staff that night!


I received a personalized consultation and my hair stylist, Eiko, gave me two choices- a natural look or something more unique. I decided for the latter and got my hair curled into a sophisticated style. I was the only one with an up-do and received many compliments! This took a long time and I appreciate her detailed work and focus! She even offered me a drink because I looked thirsty! :) What a sweetheart! Everyone, request for Eiko- she is lovely and a professional with 10 years of experience!

Styles ranged from simple, natural blow-outs, trimmed bangs, and curly-dos!



As a special treat, we also got a goodie bag filled with beauty products, including-
Salon Ziba's own Dry Shampoo
L'Oreal Professional Shampoo
L'Oreal Professional Absolut Repair
Revlon Lashes
Moroccan oil treatment
Mirabella Marble Blush
Palmer's Coconut Oil Protein Pack
Cafe Bustelo Expresso Coffee


You can also purchase Salon Ziba products at the salon. To get the hair-do above, my stylist used the Salon Ziba hairspray- it really made all the curls stay!

Check out www.butterflystudiosalon.com to learn more about their services in New York City or if you want to learn how YOU can do this at-home,

Follow these simple tips to get the style of your choice:

Simple Half Up/Half Down Tousled Hair
-After shampooing hair, apply texture cream such as Tesai cream to towel dried hair.
-Allow hair to almost completely air dry or diffuse with a blow dryer and when the hair is 95% dry, shake it out and wrap random sections vertically around a 1 inch curling iron away from the face.
-Hold the curling iron vertically and wrap the hair around without letting the iron close.
-Grab 2-3 sections from each side of the desired part from both the front and the back, intertwining each section until you reach the back of head.
-Secure with a pin and repeat on other side.


Bohemian Inspired Up-Do

-In order to achieve this look, the hair should be air-dried so the natural texture of the hair can be used.
-Section off the hair from ear to ear so that the bottom half can be wrapped into a loose ponytail close to the nape.
-Taking the remainder of the hair on top , use a hair spray such as the Shu Uemura Iron Design, for hold and wrap large vertical sections around a 1 inch curling iron.
-Make sure all sections are moving away from the head.
-Pin random sections around the ponytail, intertwining them into a loose bun shape.
