Amazing Graceland!!

If you haven't already heard of it, and you need a rockin' hairdo or a new tattoo, go to Graceland, in Williamsburg. Just a little over a year old, it is, as its name suggests, an Elvis inspired, AWESOME place to beautify. The collaborative effort of Corvette Hunt and Bethany Paul, longtime friends and former stylists for a downtown rock & roll mainstay, got together with Josh Lord & Yadira Mendez-Firvida of East Side Ink and created a beautiful, sleekly customized space (a former motorcycle garage) where beauty, music, hair, ink and lots of love have found a happy and chic home. Everyone has other things going on creatively, such as stylist Kimberly, (I have NEVER loved my hair more and I mean it) who is a singer-songwriter (and has just finished her EP and first video!) and assistant, Clark, who is a member of Electric Tickle Machine, a hot and fun band with a kick-ass live show! Everyone there is a hand-picked, true talent and you won't find a salon with a more lovely staff and ambiance. Not to mention their vinyl collection is ridiculous. I hope to be getting inked there soon. Check out Kimberly's & Clark's music below!! Elvis is so proud...
