The Salon Project

The Salon Project by Joel Warren
Opens Innovative
New Beauty Salon at Saks Fifth Avenue Long Island

  • Debut location of innovative new retail and beauty salon concept at Saks Fifth Avenue Long Island.
  • Premium beauty creation and destination where artistry integrates technology, with leading technicians and unique products.

  • Bespoke beauty experiences in a unique setting, customized around the client, where specialized services are seamlessly connected to the vastly trusted experience of industry veteran Warren.


The Salon Project by Joel Warren is an updated original. A new concept in retail, beauty, and service. The combination of a curated assortment of hair care, skin care, nail care and makeup has never before been offered in such a highly customized way. We created our business model to help the consumer enjoy a bespoke experience, turning the client’s journey in a typical salon and beauty retailer into a thoroughly personalized, turnkey beauty service and shopping experience. Joel Warren, a veteran in the salon business, had a revelation that there is a far better way to primp and shop than what is offered by the current salon model. What was once thought of as an enjoyable day at the salon now truly is, along with expert guidance and incredibly curated retail, Warren has the solution.
The Salon Project offers an innovative approach to the client journey by eliminating the typical front desk for check-in. Instead, guests are greeted by iPad-equipped concierges who direct them to their designated station where the client remains and relaxes for the duration of their services.

Joel Warren said, “I noticed the way that many salons operate is not efficient or as client-focused as it could be. Our approach improves operations, and the client experience, by using our knowledge and technology to bring everything to the client. Saks Fifth Avenue has a focus on luxury, making it the perfect environment for the first location of The Salon Project.”

The first Salon Project location will open its doors in February 2018 at Saks Fifth Avenue Long Island. The plan is to have an additional ten locations opening at Saks Fifth Avenue stores throughout the United States over the next 24 months. Houston and Boca Raton are next on deck to open in 2018, with the second wave of locations in 2019. The highlight of 2019 will be the highly anticipated opening of The Salon Project at the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship store in New York City.

RPG designed the interiors under the leadership of CEO Bruce E. Teitelbaum in partnership with Joel Warren. Two beauty and retail veterans joined forces to create a compelling, unforgettable space that melds unexpected touches and contemporary twists with 20th-century retro and modern, casual glamour. The salon and spa environment have the technological edge to create excitement and ultimate client convenience. Augmented and virtual reality features drive engagement and allow for seamless check-out in your chair with no trip to the front desk. The Salon Project is truly a stand-out in its category; it is the store of the future.

Bruce E. Teitelbaum commented, “We are thrilled to bring our global, diversified design and build experience to The Salon Project, a pioneer in its category. Joel’s incredible talent and knowledge along with the prestige and allure of Saks and RPG’s creative and manufacturing expertise should prove to be a winning combination.”

To that end, each Beauty Expert from The Salon Project has the opportunity to engage in multi-services training, allowing them to play a key role in facilitating sales through trusted stylist-client relationships. While seated, clients can play with augmented reality technology to try on products available among The Salon Project’s inventory. They test lipsticks and other beauty items from a try-on bar cart, all while receiving recommendations from the Beauty Expert / Hairstylist who seamlessly completes product purchases directly from an iPad.

Sean Paul Campbell, General Manager of The Salon Project, said, “I am thrilled to be supporting Joel Warren, as well as the many talented team members at The Salon Project. This innovative and unique new approach to beauty represents a giant leap forward in service and technology, and means that our clients will be able to expect the most current trends and products every time they walk through our door.”

THUNDERPUSSY RELEASE GREATEST TITS EP OUT NOW!

THUNDERPUSSY RELEASE GREATEST TITS EP OUT NOW!

EP INCLUDES NEW SONG “GENTLE FRAME”

DEBUT FULL LENGTH ALBUM COMING IN 2018

Seattle rock ‘n’ roll saviors THUNDERPUSSY unveil their Greatest Tits EP today.

Get it HEREvia Stardog Records/Republic Records.

On the release of the EP the band wants fans to know:

Today we give to you…GREATEST TITS! 

The taste tester, tongue teaser, titty twister, force to be reckoned with!

This digital EP features singles off the upcoming self-titled debut record, THUNDERPUSSY. Featuring HITS    so ripe you’ll want to reach out and SQUEEEEZE! Including Speed Queen, Velvet Noose, Torpedo Love, and   introducing new song Gentle Frame.

“I wrote this song during the 2016 political standoff. It was a moment when frustrations were high and women’s voices were once again being shunned, shamed and silenced.

Advances are a daily annoyance for every woman, especially around nightlife. Going out, women are always hit with some unsolicited remark. Gentle Frame is an anthem about being true to yourself, saying fuck you to the cultural pressures, and standing your ground. It’s about not feeling guilty when saying ‘No’ but instead feeling empowered. Gentle Frame is coy yet stern. Amiable yet assertive. Feminine and Fiery. Not being sexually objectified isn’t a feminist issue; it’s a human issue. 

Gentle Frame is a reminder to 

Never Give Up. Never Give In. Stay True to You. 

Peace,

M”

But this is just the tit of the iceberg, folks…

Hold tight, listen loud, and prepare yourself for the life-giving, fire-breathing, Thunderpussy FULL-LENGTH ALBUM coming soon! 

The new song “Gentle Frame” follows up the recently released “Torpedo Love,which NPR called, “a song that’s slower than most of their catalog but retaining their trademark charisma – a flourish of flair to partner every slashing riff and volcanic chorus. Check out the amazing video shot at the abandoned Satsop Nuclear Power Plant here!

Be on the lookout for more form Thunderpussy soon!

Thunderpussy. If Thor’s Hammer of the Gods from “Immigrant Song” landed in the hands of four wise, willful, and wild women? Well, it would sound something like Thunderpussy. The quartet—Molly Sides [vocals], Whitney Petty [guitar], Leah Julius [bass], and Ruby Dunphy [drums]—do the most rock ‘n’ roll thing possible and quite literally fuck up every rock ‘n’ roll stereotype you know to be true, piercing the halls of Valhalla in the process. The Seattle-based group turned into a quiet phenomenon with the endorsement of Rolling Stone and Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready as well as a string of already legendary performances under their high-waisted belts.

This marks Lovato’s third collaboration with the brand, which features exclusive new looks and the debut of her first-ever lifestyle accessories, including seven footwear styles and two athletic bags

Inspired by her life on the road and active lifestyle, Demi’s new collection focuses on flattering silhouettes with futuristic elements, bold strapping details, textural meshes and metallic accents made with every woman in mind.

Demi has evolved as a designer through working closely with the Fabletics design team for her third time, allowing her to become more knowledgeable of the different techniques, performance materials and elements to create fashionable yet functional activewear. “Demi’s leveraging her creative abilities, and has become more confident as a designer.  In approaching this collection she channeled what she and her fans are looking for in active wear pieces which support her life as a confident woman,” said Felix del Toro, SVP, Chief Merchandise & Design Officer.

Of her new collection, Demi Lovato said, “I was so excited when Fabletics asked me to come back to design another capsule collection with them! I’ve learned so much from working with the Fabletics design team the past year and really wanted to take it to the next level with this collection now that I’m more confident with the process. I think that this collection reflects my personal style more than ever. It was also very important to me to incorporate all of the feedback I’ve received from my supportive fans. I made sure to include different elements and details into the collection that were not only important to me but to them as well.”

The new Demi Lovato for Fabletics collection continues to reinforce both of their shared commitment to empower and celebrate women of all shapes, sizes and abilities by making a healthy, active lifestyle accessible to everyone.

The Demi Lovato for Fabletics capsule collection will be sold across 10 countries, available on Fabletics.com, as well as at the Fabletics stores nationwide starting January 1st.
