Giveaway: Treat. Yo. Self with a Sinus Pressure Relief Facial from Model Citizen

This is our second post about Model Citizen Salon because we just can't get enough.  This post comes from contributor Kimberly Drew.    

I have wanted to try Model Citizen since the day they finished remodeling this beautiful space.  From the first time my father took me to his neighborhood barber shop, the one that his father took him to when he was a child, I have understood that what happens in places like this is necessary, cathartic.  In the age of the internet where being social is quickly exchanged for social media,  Model Citizen is working hard, as their website touts, to "bring back the neighborhood salon with a modern sensibility", and they are doing a wonderful job.  

I had been suffering from horrible sinus congestion thanks to the ever-so-slight change in the seasons that people like me who have allergies feel as subtly as a brick to the face.  Alyssa suggested that I look into sinus massage, and I thought where better to look than Model Citizen's own Stephanie Weaver?

Places We Love: Model Citizen Salon

Hair cuts aren't typically a relaxing, fun, experience for me. About twice a year, after giving myself weird trims in between, I finally break down and go see a pro. I'm that nervous customer that wants their hair to look like it was cut, but also have nothing whatsoever change about it. Maybe I'm gun-shy from too many cuts where I asked for one thing, and ended up with what the stylist wanted.

My first visit to Model Citizen, the cheery salon walking distance from my house, was the most fun I've ever had getting my hair cut. Shayne's great conversation, a perfect cut, and decor that reminded me of my house a little bit (show posters, turquoise vinyl furniture, American flags, mantles, succulents...) made me feel right at home.

I've never had a facial before, so I'll be back eventually to let Stephanie work her magic on my mug.

Places We Love: Southern Vision

 

Southern Vision is one of my favorite shops in Athens. It seems like it's difficult sometimes for vintage boutiques in any city to differentiate themselves, and really stand out with their own personality. Southern Vision has their own voice as a shop. Below Jittery Joes downtown on Broad St, you'll find skate supplies, band tees printed by the owner Clancy, a large, organized record selection, and of course, vintage. Everything is reasonably priced, so you'll have a few bucks leftover for a Southern Vision totebag. 

Southern Vision is giving away one of my favorite shirts they carry, Dolly Parton grinnin' big with a sweet little kitty cat.
