a guide to our hand-picked shop

We only offer what we believe in. With all of our combined experience, crown has come up with a full take-home shop to fill every need.

Bona Fide Pomades - Established in 2012, Bona Fide offers a high performance product. They're  American-Made, family-owned, with a simple line-up sure to create any style. Our faves are the Matte Paste + Texture Spray. $7-15.

UNITE - This product line uses premium ingredients for high performance. If our crown guests miss having access to Oribe at their appointment, this is the answer. UNITE is proudly sulfate-free, paraben-free, sodium chloride-free + non-animal tested.

V76 - Vaugh Acord created a brand for beard-lovers + smooth faces alike. Packed with vitamin E + essential oils, this collection by V76 is the best of the best. Not only are these products used for all of our shave + beard shaping services here in the shop, but now you can also keep your routine up at home.  $14-20. *with Tyler's departure, all V76 is 45% off while supplies last*

Tressa Watercolors + Pravana Nevo - These shampoos + color enhancing treatments will keep any shade of red looking brand new. Tried + true, we've found over the years that this pair delivers. Watercolors adds pigment as you cleanse your hair, while the Nevo treatment strengthens + deeply deposits fresh, shiny new color. $20.

Pravana: the Perfect Blonde - This line will keep icy blondes free of brassy tones between visits. Sulfate-free, you can completely care for your blonde with this shampoo, conditioner + masque. $20.

Olaplex - If you get color at crown, you're probably no stranger to Olaplex: a simple three-step process includes a patented active ingredient that works on a molecular level to seek out broken bonds in the hair that are caused by chemical, thermal + mechanical damage. You can use Olaplex to restore compromised hair, or add it to another service to provide the ultimate breakage insurance. Keep up your hair's integrity between visits! $28.

Nioxin -  Their Scalp Therapy system helps eliminate seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff + other scalp related problems associated with scalp irritation, flaking + itching as part of total scalp care system. It blends moisturizing green tea polyphenols + a maximum strength dose of pyrithione zinc.   $22-23.

Brazilian Blowout + B3 - This sulfate-free cleansing system extends the life of the Brazilian Blowout by maintaining the vital moisture and protein balance needed for optimal smoothness and radiant, frizz-free hair. $34.

Wella Brilliance - With Wella as our primary color brand, we trust their shampoos + conditioners to keep every color looking as fresh + shiny as possible. We suggest this line for fine to normal hair textures. $ 16.50.

Wella Enrich - The Enrich line is specialized to repair damage. Moisturizing with silk extract, you can protect your hair with this shampoo, conditioner + leave-in. $14-16.50.

Wella Elements - This collection is free of sulfates, parabens + artificial colorants. Light-weight + gentle, this trio is perfect for the care of sensitive scalps, fusion extensions, color,  keratin treatments + permanent waves. $22.

Wella Luxe Oil + Sebastian Dark Oil - Buffalo hair always needs moisture! We are loving Wella's Luxe Oil Light Oil Keratin Protection Spray with almond, argan + jojoba oils. Their Keratin Boost Leave-In is a great seal after any masque or treatment. Sebastian's Dark Oil has become a guest favorite at crown.  Formulated with sandalwood, cedar wood + argan oil, it protects against UV damage. $22-40.

Wella Oil Reflections - Perfect for taming coarse hair that lacks shine. White tea extract gently cleanses + you don't need to leave the conditioner in for very long to achieve maximum shine and softness. You can complete the trio with the Oil Reflections masque as well- our fave way to end a color in the shop. $22.

crown's first party

Our grand opening party was a major success. The crew finally got to blow off some steam + celebrate for a night with our closest family, friends, guests, and 500 Seneca residents.

Thanks to our amazing sponsors for making the night a success! Wise Guys Pizza stole the show at our buffet. We've never seen pizza disappear so fast! Undergrounds Coffee House & Roastery went perfectly with Dorie Geraci's beautiful crown cookies. Southern Tier Brewing and Yellow Tail Wine had our party people covered! Vinnie De Rosa kicked off the night with his soulful music before handing the stage over to the Dirty Habits, serving up all the pop-punk favorites till the lights came on. The photo booth was a blast, and seeing so may familiar and new faces in the mix was surreal.

Biggest cheers of the night go to our sponsors who filled the basket that raised $688 for Roswell Park Cancer Institute! One lucky winner took away hair products, a crown gift certificate, a bottle of Tommy Rotter vodka, Wise Guys and Phoenix Rising Massage gift certificates, as well as concert tickets from Iron Works.

Our buddy Tommy just sent us some photos from the night, so we decided to share some of our favorites. Can't wait to plan more festivities in the future!!!

Be sure to check out our gallery page for a great video from this night!

crown + New Era Cap

When New Era approached us about partnering up, it was like they were reading our minds. What better way to keep heads warm after people go short, or to keep a blow out sleek while running around daily?! Buffalo winters can be hard, so a perfect hat is essential.

New Era Cap is such a hero to small local businesses. It's rad to be able to offer our guests the same quality goods that also outfit their favorite pro sports teams. We couldn't be more thankful or proud to have created some street style together.

Pick one up at crown for $18, while supplies last.
