Attention Seattle ladies! I'm cosponsoring a hot hair give-away with my beloved hair salon, VAIN.
Yes, I'm a total whore for them: they've been doing my hair since 2001 when I cut off my dreadlocks with a pair of fingernail scissors and went limping in afterwards looking like an escapee from the Home For Mentally Deranged Pixies. They produce the best hair blog in Seattle. They invented my pink braids.
Anyway, enough about me. VAIN of course rocks the wedding hair, and if you're in Seattle, you definitely want to win this bridal package.
WIN THIS STUFF FROM VAIN & OFFBEAT BRIDE:
- Bridal updo at VAIN downtown ($75 value)
- Wedding waxing (brows, bikini, whatever you want) with VAIN's waxing queen Belinda in the private waxing studio above VAIN downtown ($75 value)
- Custom "Hair Poison" bridal headpiece by Sweet Revenge, aka VAIN stylist Kelly (pictured above!), who donates a portion of Sweet Revenge proceeds to the National Cervical Cancer Coalition — she's a survivor. ($100 value)
- Awesome "Altar your thinking" Offbeat Bride tshirt.
For rules, how to enter, and pictures of Hair Poison headpieces from my hot ladyfriends at VAIN, keep reading.

Oohoohooh! Me want! Me want!
I looooooooooooooooove Vain. When I wore my hair short, they were the ONLY ones I trusted with it. When I need an awesome dye job, they are the ONLY ones I trust with it. When I was growing my hair out from a pixie, they were the ONLY ones I trusted to make me look presentable– but I didn't look just presentable: I LOOKED AWESOME. In fact, it wasn't just a good growing-out/in-between cut… It was one of the best haircuts I've ever had!
Alas, I can't afford to go to Vain on my social worker/student income very often, but I would KILL to get the full bridal treatment from the cool kids over at Vain.

I long to have VAIN hair, especially for my wedding! I drool over the blog and marvel at the people that lovingly gush over their stylist.
I've never done anything really spectacular with my hair, but I've always wanted to.
I hope to be the lucky one who gets to be dazzling. Thanks for the opportunity to enter this contest!

I heart VAIN! They're the only stylists in Seattle I trust to cut my ridiculously curly hair. I'm getting married in July on a very small budget and have been debating whether or not I can afford to splurge and have them do my hair. This would be amazing!

Oh I can relate Samantha B! Social worker/student money doesn't allow for many splurges. Man, I'd love to get myself done up right by VAIN for the big day.

Count me in – I love Vain! They do such pretty things… and I'm a poor habitat restoration intern with hair that needs some attention.

Is this? Could this possibly be? Nope. I'm asleep. This is a dream and I'm going to wake up and be desperately disappointed. I hope this is real though, at least for someone, because this is epic.

I'm getting married in July and the hair conundrum has yet to be figured out….

My favorite salon EVER! I have been going to Vain since I moved to Seattle my freshmen year in college. The colorful rock and roll yet chic atmosphere and wonderful stylists keep bringing me back. Kelly is so rad… she did my "Little Mermaid" extensions a few months ago and they turned out awesome. I HEART VAIN. Make me an Offbeat Vain Bride please!!

I would LOVE to win this package. I just got sacked with the news that my venue (and caterer) double booked my day (August 2, 09!) and i'm out of a venue and caterer and starting from scratch! Super amazing hair would help tremendously when my guests are standing in the street eating that delicious hot dogs with cream cheese from the late-night street vendors as we get married…actually…maybe not such a bad idea?

I am a musician that just relocated to Seattle from Denver.
Reasons why I would love to win this:
1) I currently have multi-colored hair (blue, green, pink, and purple) and I change it every month.
2) I have been searching for a new stylist here that doesn't look at me strange when they initially see me.
3) I am getting married in November in a Seattle art Gallery. I need
awesome/non-traditional hair for said event.
4) I have no dignity when it comes to free/kick ass give aways. I will totally beg if that is what needs to happen here.

The plan is to have a simple but awesome wedding in the old Ranier brewery down in Georgetown, and winning this would be so amazing to make my offbeat wedding even more perfect!!!
Please please please please!!!

Ohhh, I miss Vain! I remember way back when, I got my first dreadlocks there. And they were dyed a lovely sunset of colors.
I'm going to grad school elsewhere but in an oh so short time (6 months) I'll be returning to Seattle with my lovely stud muffin to get hitched in my parents' back yard.
To have my hair done by Vain would be most wonderful!

I met my fiance Josh last year at The Magic Kingdom in Orlando Florida (where im from) Josh is from Seattle and was here on vacation. We were in line to ride the Haunted Mansion ride when we noticed each other, it was inside the stretching room where we officially met (while complementing each other's tattoo's, great ice breaker) This monday he asked me to marry him inside the haunted mansion right where we met!!
We plan on marrying in Seattle and moving back!
Sooo I just had to enter and share our story!!

Oh my goodness, yes! I frequent Vain (in as much as I get my hair cut, which is rarely) – I saw you there when your book had come out, and there were cupcakes.
And I've finally decided on having a fascinator of some sort, which is sadly the first real decision I've made. I'll cross my fingers!

How many times have I walked past Vain downtown and looked longingly in the window? Please count me in! We've got our day planned for August 29 in our friends' backyard. I keep growing my hair but have zero ideas on what to do with it. Ladies at Vain, I am yours!
