The Salon Experience
How to make the most of your visit to the Happy Isles Salon
Tips and tricks to help you make the most of your visit to the Happy Isles Salon.
Expect the unexpected.
Part of the joy of vintage shopping is discovering something you never knew you’d love! We recommend having an open mind regarding style, silhouette, color, decade and designer. Your stylists are there to help, and will gladly steer if you’re open to their expert guidance!
Stay creative.
You might love just parts of something or the size might not be quite right. Your stylists will help you imagine the possibilities! Are construction project or new styling might just be the ticket!
Timing is everything.
Know that the right piece may not be in store at the time of your appointment, but that we always offer Return Customer appointments (for a nominal fee of $25).
Have faith.
Trust the process, the vintage gods have your back!
Sizing on your mind?
Size 10/12? (Measurements: bust 38" waist 32" hips 41") Options are available but more limited.
If these are your measurements, please come with an open mind. Our trusted HI stylists will guide you towards our current selection. If your measurements go beyond the above, we may or may not have a selection for you at any given time. Due to the nature of vintage as well as our quickly moving inventory, it's impossible to make promises about what we have in the salon day-to-day.
Tailoring is usually a must.
Be mindful that most pieces will require tailoring for a perfect fit.Your HI stylists will chat you through their recommendations for tailoring.
Have fun!
We fully believe in the kismet of vintage. Sometimes you need to walk away and other times you’ll know you need to snag it! Regardless, your appointment is a time to have fun and play!
