THE VAULT

7 Deadly Sins - Virtual

Sometimes in life, you just have to pivot. And that's exactly what we did for Bayou St. Blonde 2021. Because of the pandemic, we had to adapt, but we still wanted to bring the spirit of what we do to everyone and keep the momentum and tradition of Bayou St. Blonde alive. 10+ Artists, 2 Days, 3 Cities for this all-virtual experience showcasing the theme of ''The 7 Deadly Sins” with Skeleton Key vibes. Each city was a room that unlocked a secret. We live streamed from New Orleans, Los Angeles and New York for a 2-Day hair extravaganza.

ignite your senses

The calm before the storm, Bayou St. Blonde, January 2020. Who would have thought that just a couple of months later, the world would shut down, making this one of the last times we gathered in New Orleans to celebrate the creativity and artistry of our industry. In true New Orleans fashion, we ended with a second line—a celebration of what we've achieved, reminiscent of a traditional funeral parade celebration, but in this case, it marked our accomplishments and spirit. 

Absolutely loved the intimacy of the group and venues. Everything and everyone was personally accessible and inspirational!

LOVED LOVED LOVED the parade at the end! Great New Orleans experience! Loved all the venues. Aryn is terrific and did an excellent job putting this all together!

It was such a wonderful, and truly artistic event. I would love to attend again. You did a fabulous job!!

This was the most inspiring and influential event I’ve ever been to❤️

 The details came together beautifully this year. BRAVO to you all. And, thank you for giving us this space to connect and feel seen.
