Here's the thing I like about Vavoom! (referenced in my previous post below) - it's totally old school, like really 80's, but in a good nostalgic way (which is rare for things from the 80's). It reminds me of those old advertisements that would be posted in a salon with a lot of pink marble. Naturally, it brings mouse or hairspray to top-of-mind, but I must say, the product line really evolved in the late 90's and they put together this really great little styling shampoo and conditioner. I mean, the lady at this salon in Seville, Ohio - Reflections, I believe? ( A lot of baskets and fake ivy is what I remember) - had me at first wash with this terrific shampoo. Now, I wasn't a very demanding 14 yr old, I HAD TO HAVE this shampoo/conditioner set upon my departure from the salon that day. It smelled like fresh melon and summer and not-so-coincidentally like the Peter Thomas Roth shower gel. I thought it was discontinued, but luckily I ran into it again about 3 years ago. This was the last time I saw it in the store, and I still had some of the conditioner from that purchase in my bathroom closet at home but I had to throw it away cause I think it fermented. So if you see this anywhere, let me know!
