Even More Framed Hero Mini Test Prints - Available Now

We just put a whole new batch of mini framed test prints up in our etsy store. Check out all of em here and keep checking back, we'll be adding more soon. And come by the Hero Boutique to get some too, a whole different batch are on display and available in store.

"What's a test print?" you ask.

A test print is a magical one-of-a-kind print created from layers of different prints we've made over time. We use them to get colors right, fix a mistake when screenprinting, and for lots of other reasons. Sometimes the layers just come together in such a beautiful and accidental way, that a strange piece of paper with lots of stuff is turned into a finished print.

We've recently gone through our stacks of test prints and cut some down into 5" x 7" prints and framed them. Each print is available in an unfinished pine frame. If you are interested in purchasing more than one, contact via message on etsy or email and we can offer a discount depending on how many.

Bumble and bumble Holiday Goodies

Saw this over at NOTCOT and I was so excited 'cuz I love Bumble and bumble so much and these products are just amazing. The Bb.Bandball is genius, it's a prestarted rubber band ball for your hair bands, complete with notches for your bands, so no more losing them.

Not only does Bb. have the best hair products I have ever found, their packaging, advertising and their entire aesthetic is always top notch. If you are looking for Bumble and bumble products locally in the Buffalo area definitely go to New Age Salon, and while you are there get the best cut of your life.

From Bumble and bumble about the hair bauble:

“The limited edition hair baubles were designed exclusively for Bumble and bumble by artist, inventor and lover of functional objects, Piet Houtenbos (son of Hair Hero Christiaan). The boxes (designed by resident Bumble and bumble artist Gillian Haro) feature illustrations of hair tools that look like something you’d discover in a curiosities shop - in a mad mix of fun, festive, carnival colors.”

Great stocking stuffers at Hero

We have lots of great gift giving items, both big and small. So keep a look out for more lists for holiday gift ideas, and stop by and get those "must have" gift items before they are gone.

And if you are just gift shopping for yourself, thats OK too, we totally support and encourage that! Considering I went out gift shopping while in Pittsburgh this past weekend and somehow spent it all on me :)
