World... meet Phil aka. 'Philthy' :-)

Phil is originally from Temecula, California and has made Salt Lake City his home for the past year. Before coming to the ‘big city!’ Phil had many accomplishments and interests that drew him to our exciting ‘hair world’ industry! Having a knack for fashion and style (and you have not seen style until you’ve been introduced to this fancy man) Phil attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising where he polished his eye for beauty.

Following the big move to Salt Lake City, Phil contacted Lunatic Fringe, where he has called our salon home for the past nine months. His style in hair dressing focuses on fashion forward cutting and styling techniques, complimenting each with a customized color to show off each of his designs. Easily replicatable, Phil assures you the exact education you need to finish your hair at home. What does that all include? Proper Take Home product, the tools used, and the few step-by-steps it’ll take you to recreate! That simple! His professional approach to each guest assures a comfortable and memorable experience with us!

Lunatic Fringe has been hailed for the best shampoo and massage experience you’ll ever have! Having done his own washes, as well as being a fantastic team worker with other stylist’s washes, guests are raving about his mind blowing shampoos, yet again, taking your experience to the next level!

Phil’s passion for learning, education and overall guest experience behind the chair exceeds a lot of the average stylist graduating from hair school. His calm approach to the guest consultation has a genuine warmth that keeps his guests at ease while creating the desire and excitement to be hack in his hands in 4-6 weeks.

Holiday Hair

Holiday Hair How-To

The holidays have approached us with an abundance of fabulous parties and events where you want to look your best. You may be accustomed to wearing your hair the same way every day. For holiday parties, you may want to try something a little different. After all, the holidays are a special time of year and you want your holiday hairstyle to be special too. Here are some helpful ideas for holiday hairstyles that’ll really set you apart from the crowd:

Classic Chignon with a Twist

A beautiful loose, lightly-braided, tousled chignon, is a more modern take on the formal classic chignon. You’ll want to begin by prepping the hair with a light working spray. To achieve this look, use a 1 inch or larger curling iron and curl the whole head taking no more than 2 inch sections. Braid some skinny braids off your hair parting and then loosely gather all the hair (including the braids) together at the nape into a low ponytail. Loop the ends until the pony coils back onto itself and pin, into a chignon.

Finish the hairstyle using a light spray with a firm hold that won’t weigh the hair down. The spray provides airy texture to the finished look and keeps it holding all night. The perfect classic up do!
