evoke salon In The Huddle - Live from SXSWi 2011

 Okay we promise this is the last video of SXSW! We just had such a phenomenal time and have a lot of content from there. This one just had to be  shown though because the team over at Huddle Productions put such great work into producing it. We met the Huddle team on Monday afternoon in the lobby of the Austin Convention Center after an indroduction by our mutual friend Joallore Alon aka @clickflicka. We chatted for a bit and came to the resolution that they could help us out and NOW! They could shoot a professional quality video for us on the fly ! We then (at the same time... incredible) recieved a call from our good friend Leora Israel informing us that she was in the Blogger lounge upstairs on the 4th floor. 
She also informed us that Gary Vaynerchuk was up there and that we could talk about his haircut which we were supposed to do at some point during that day. After we spoke with Gary for a little while connecting and setting our time we went over to Leora`s table and went to work. The team from Huddle productions were funny, engaging, talented, courteous, professional, and on and on. Needless to say we had a great time doing the video and were fortunate to have it all come together. So many pieces fell in place and well...


We Highly recommend you Check Out this video... We think it`s Reeeally well done.  And know it was really fun to make!

Jason of evoke Salon Styling Soleil Moon Frye`s Hair #SXSWi !!!

Honestly i`m a huge fan! Not only has Soleil Moon Frye become a great mum and a fantastic actress, she is a fantastic entrepreneur as well. She has been all over television over the years with most of her big roles coming during my childhood and adolescent years. I loved her as Punky Brewster, and was happy to see she still had some success in Sabrina the Teenage Witch. She later made appearances on Friends and has taken that success over to the online community. With the Little Seed she seems to have hit her element and is very happy in life. It was a pleasure to meet a childhood character I loved and see the inspiring woman she has become today. Check Out This Video For More...

evoke Salon`s Jon DiMauro Styling Randi Zuckerberg`s Hair!... Check Out This Video!

I think I speak for both Jason and I when I say that we had a great time in Austin for the SXSW show. We learned a lot and met some great people. Some of the people we met had a larger influence on us than others naturally, and I think the crew at Facebook really blew me out of the water. The company culture is visibly amazing, and every single person we encountered on their team had a real drive and dedication to all things Facebook. I learned quickly why that was, its true what they say, great leaders really do build great teams. I was fortunate enough to spend a little time with some of Facebook`s leaders and motivators and can see why they are successful. I was really inspired by just how real, warm, and dedicated they were. As a leader in my own company I will take from them a real willingness to grow and improve that much more. Randi Zuckerberg really made a great impression on me and I must say that her humor and dedication (being at SXSW 9 mths pregnant) are things that I really admired about her! I will grow and improve from these encounters and wish to thank everyone who was involved for the experience. Check Out This Video to catch a taste of what I mean...
