Hair Bella (Vestavia Hills)

Remember about 3 years ago when your friend got that ridiculous make-over and you pretended to love it. Well no one has responded to her match.com profile since - and she still thinks it's because of the three cats she rescued. Dr. Phil says it's time you two had a talk. And after that storm, maybe the folks at Hair Bella can help. Here are their latest specials (advertised on their website):

1) Be Mine Tonight - caviar treatment, shampoo, cut and style out, facial waxing, and mani/pedi for $125.

2) Give Me Some Sugar - Bonacure exfoliate and restore hair treatment, shampoo, cut and style out. Shampoo and conditioner of your choice for $99.

Hair Reflections (The Summit)

We like consistency...and Hair Reflections never fails to deliver. Every Monday they send us an email with deals for the week (all because we signed up for their "Cutting Edge Newsletter").

Our favorite special for this week (July 30 - Aug 4)...no money down, $99 month (oh wait, that's from the Suzuki Man). But we're sure that Hair Reflections has some good deals too.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression, unless you have access to a time machine. Which I do. Quick note from the future...get a hair cut.

Votre Spa Salon (Patton Creek)

For the misguided few who insist that the French lack true grit, may we introduce you to Julien Pillet...Julien (Monsieur Pillet, to you) is a French sabre fencer and two-time Olympic medalist.

Although originally from Dijon (Burgundy), Julien discovered fencing in Los Angeles. As a teenager, Julien moved to LA with his mother. Unfortunately, he became the object of bullying by the Cobras, a menacing group of fencing students. In order to defend himself, Daniel asked the handyman at his apartment complex, Jean-Claude Miyagi, to teach him how to handle the sabre. Monsieur Miyagi taught Julien that fencing is mastery over the self (mind and body) and that sword-play is always the last answer to a problem. Under Miyagi's guidance, Julien learned the physical skills while gaining faith and the self-confidence to defeat "Johnny", the leader of the Cobras. Later on, he won Olympic medals and stuff.

They should totally make a movie about this guy.

Votre Spa Salon is offering the following spring specials (via their website):

1. Mid-week Escape (Tues - Thurs): one-hour elemental nature massage and deep cleansing facial for $130

2. Come-again: package of 6, one-hour elemental nature massages for $425

3. Spring Style: women's haircut & style with newest stylist Layton Walters for $35

p.s., "Votre" means "your" in French.

Nations Hair Studio (Chelsea)

As typical for salonfly staffers on Sunday mornings, we all settled around the 90" plasma screen to watch Face the Nation. Just because we're pretty doesn't mean we don't care about real issues. Top of our agenda...global warming, immigration reform, and what the heck is up with Hillary?

Nations Hair Studio is currently offering the following promotions:

1) $10 off cut & style (new customer only)

2) $15 deep conditioning treatment (regular $45)

3) $5 off all waxing services

4) Redken "sparkle" treatment for only $25 (regular $45)

5) Buy shampoo and conditioner and get any 3rd retail item half-price (one per customer)

6) Free cut with any foil, highlight, color or perm (new customer only)

Cameo Corner Hair Salon (Southside)

Everyone should have a theme song. Don't believe us? Try this experiment...burst into your boss's office and demand a raise.

Do it, right now...we''ll wait.

Okay. How'd it go? Not so good, huh? Now, run Cameo's 1986 hit "Word Up!" through your head a few times and then go into your boss's office and demand a raise.

Oh...you got fired? Yeah, we were just kidding.

Maybe a salon discount will make you feel better. Cameo Corner Hair Salon is currently offering a 20% discount on any service (with a Black & White card). If you don't already have a card, you can register for one here.

Don't have that kind of time? What? Like you got a job? Seriously, we're sorry about that. Anyway, just call the salon and ask if they'll still honor the promotion - we'd be surprised if not.

Shangri-La Salon (Moody)

Mention "shangri-la" and we immediately think Chinese food. And despite all the recent negative press, there ain't no way we're ever retiring our chopsticks. Sure it's a bit salty and maybe a tad heavy in calories...but it's freakin' delicious! Plus, writing the "flypaper" is a major calorie burner. We are totally ready for swimsuit season.

Shangri-La Salon is currently offering 10% off services when you mention their website. It doesn't specify what you should "mention", but we'd suggest you remain positive...remember, they have razors.

Hala Salon Seventh Avenue (Lakeview)

We have to admit it...we looked it up. Neither of us had any idea what a "Holla Back Girl" was. Ten years ago, we'd have totally gotten it. Then again, ten years ago we'd have to look up "adjustable rate mortgage".

Anyway, thanks to urbandictionary.com, we now know that a "holla back girl" is a one willing to be treated like a doormat or booty call (no, we didn't need to look up "booty call").

Hala (not "Holla") Salon Seventh Avenue is currently offering 20% of any service - expiring o4/01/07 (courtesy of salonfly). Click here to download you voucher.

Fantastic Sams (Greystone)

Never really got into comic books - it just didn't make sense to read about folks like the Incredible Hulk when you could watch the tv show. Plus, some of these superhero groups had the lamest names. The "Fantastic 4"? Sounds like a 90's boy band. Wait, was it?

Anyway, Fantastic Sams is offering the following deals - expiring 04/25/07 (courtesy of the mighty Clipper Magazine):

1) Just for kids cut (free shampoo & lite dry) - $6.95

2) Adult cut (free shampoo & lite dry) - $10.95

3) Quick & Easy Perm (free shampoo & cut) - $24.95

Studio 21 (Inverness)

Did anyone see Studio 54? If you're looking for Mike Meyers funny, steer clear of this puppy. Strange that the casting director elected him to star in a drama about disco-era NYC. Okay, Mike, we're going to dress you up as Dr. Evil's half-brother and surround you with over-the-top 1970s stereotypes...but no jokes allowed. Big surprise that one flopped.

As Bob Barker says "Always spay and neuter your pets, but never Canadian comedians".

We're not sure where Studio 21 Hair Salon got it's name - probably only loosely affiliated with the film. Anyway, they are currently offering the following promotions on their website:

1) Buy any two products and get the third (of equal or lesser value) 50% off

2) Receive a discount on a designer cut with any color or perm service (we're not sure why they're keeping the "discount" vague)
