Woooh! I’m excited to finally announce the winners of the Back to School Contest! When I judged, I was looking for who I think most creatively showed me what their overall personal style was. What was strange is that a lot of people who entered, entered multiple entries that were equally tied with themselves! You’ll see what I mean below:-)

This one was a funny one because honestly both of these were equally my favorites and it was just a coincidence that they were by the same person!

1st place: by Skaterstar57
$100 gift card to ShanaLogic.com

I love this photo. It’s simple, sweet and really shows what this shopper’s style is all about!

2nd place: by theunoriginalO
$50 gift card to ShanaLogic.com

This is another one where they had two entries that I equally loved! I couldn’t decide which one I thought was better so there you have it:-)

3rd place: by oooway
$25 gift card to ShanaLogic.com

Honorable Mentions all get $5 gift cards to the shop!

Fan fave announcement:

Apparently the polling system I was using was going on the “honor system” and well…um….turns out some people might not have been too honest by voting over and over again for the same photos. So, I’m on the lookout for a new polling program so that I can have a fair vote:-)

Hi Shana!

I know you like pics of your happy customers so I thought it was time I sent you one of myself. I just ordered the set of 5 blue hair extensions from you a few weeks ago.  When my mom saw them hanging in my room, she made a face at me like I was a crazy retard. Then when I finally got around to cutting and straightening them, I wore them and she loved them. Now she wants to order the pink ones for herself! I absolutely love them. I had my hair professionally done with blue streaks in January and I managed to make them last for 5 months by only washing my hair every few days. It was disgusting! Now I can have pretty blue streaks and wash my hair as many times as I want.

(And just in case some of your shoppers ever want to order a set of your 5 extensions but aren’t sure how to straighten out the natural wave, it’s super easy. I dipped my extensions in 180 degree hot water and let them hang for about an hour. Then I blow dried them using a safety nozzle over the blow dryer to protect the hair from the heated metal. They turned out great! I’ve heard you can also add more curls to them by using hot water and shaping them while they’re wet.) I’m already considering buying another colored set. A cashier at a store today thought the extensions were my real hair!

Thank you so much! I’ve passed your site on to a lot of my friends. I can’t wait to order more from you.

P.S. I’m wearing the Limecrime shadows Elf and Shoe Addict in my picture. I absolutely adore them, too.

-Megan

I didn’t know you were located in Ann Arbor. How nice!

I had to let you know that all your customers are not cute, young things. I am a cute, OLD thing. I am a 68-year-old grandma who finds your products so adorable and unusual, I will be shopping with you for a long time. I love cephelapods and have never been able to find octopus anything, let alone jewelry! Perhaps you could find some cuttlefish pieces to add to the family. When I go shopping, carrying my kitten loves sushi tote bag, people come up to me asking where I got such a darling bag. Young girls squeal with delight at the image, and my 22 year-old grandson even said “Cool, kinda cute.”

I am singing Shanalogic’s praise all over southeast Mich. I will never wear polyester,or stop loving Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, and I will not act like an old lady! Shanalogic Lives!

Yours,
Beth
