Style Magazine - September 2021
If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? For me, the answer is easy. Pizza. It’s acceptable for breakfast (I take mine fresh out of the fridge), lunch, dinner, and every meal in between. Plus, there’s enough variety (sauces, crusts, baking vessels, toppings) that I don’t think my taste buds would ever find a slice that wasn’t nice. Come to think of it, I’ve never met a pie that didn’t catch my eye; even frozen pizzas are my friend. With that said, some are certainly better than others and receive rave reviews for a reason. In-season ingredients, dough handling, a suitable sauce to cheese ratio…all this, and more, plays into the finished product. In this month’s feature, “Pie Oh My!” (page 61), we share 25+ out-of-the-pizza-box creations that’ll hopefully have you hungry to branch out of your (thin…or maybe thick) crust comfort zone and explore more of our region’s praiseworthy pizzerias. If you’re looking for one last hurrah before summer comes to a close, consider a staycation. In “Vacation by Design” (page 54), we share some hip home rentals that aren’t only aesthetically appealing but sited within walking distance to a trove of treasures, too—from Apple Hill to Historic Folsom to Old Town Auburn. It’s a good reminder that getting away doesn’t always mean going far away. What else comes with the changing seasons? A change in your wardrobe. For readers wondering what to wear when the temps dip down, we turned to the pros—personal stylists to be exact—and asked them how to look fresh this fall. Flip to “Dress Code” (page 48) for their top style tips, plus a list of local boutiques we love. One trend that never goes out of style? Supporting small businesses. So, whether you’re deciding where to pick up tonight’s pizza or what to do this weekend, I encourage you to choose the mom-and-mom places featured in this month’s magazine. Cheers! —Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle

Lifted Salon<br />
JACKI SPELLMAN<br />
13385 Folsom Boulevard, Suite 300, Folsom<br />
liftedsalon.com, @jacki.liftedbeauty, @liftedsalon<br />
Services or products you offer: Non-toxic, lowmaintenance,<br />
high-quality hair services. Each<br />
artist specializes in different niches, such as<br />
dimensional color, vivid color, open air balayage,<br />
and hand-tied extensions.<br />
What you enjoy most about your profession:<br />
Connecting with clients and changing how<br />
people see themselves in the mirror. It’s truly lifechanging,<br />
especially with hand-tied extensions. I<br />
have a real passion for coaching stylists in their<br />
career as well, which is one of the reasons I<br />
opened the salon.<br />
Fun fact about your company: We’re session<br />
artists, which means we do hair in inclusive<br />
hourly sessions, making it both customizable<br />
and gender-neutral. Instead of booking services<br />
à la carte, we book our clients for a block of time,<br />
giving your hair whatever it needs to reach the<br />
achieved look.<br />
First job: I've worked in salons my whole life,<br />
starting with Hoshall's in Carmichael when I<br />
was 15—sweeping floors and organizing the<br />
stockroom, before graduating to receptionist and<br />
cosmetology apprentice.<br />
Favorite food: Dos Coyotes. I picked my salon’s<br />
location for a reason!<br />
Last big purchase: A house in Placerville.<br />
When not working, you can be found: Spending<br />
time with my family at home; near a river or lake;<br />
or at one of the Apple Hill wineries or breweries.<br />
You love living here, because: Of the nature that<br />
surrounds us and the community that values<br />
small businesses.<br />
