They Jumped the Broom!!! Congrats Thom and Cassie!!

We've all been eagerly awaiting the day that Thom, the newest new addition to our team, and Cassie finally said "I do" and they have. As of June 26th they officially tied the knot and we're finally seeing pics from their gorgeous Montana wedding. So what if I had to steal them from Facebook!! Ha!! At this moment they are trekking their way across states and slowly but surely are making their way back home. Thom will be back with us on the 13th and the Embellish team can't wait to hear the fantastic wedding stories Thom will have to share. I'm sure his memories of his special day will melt all of our hearts, that is if that big, orange, gassy mass in the sky doesn't do it first!!

Congratulations Thom and Cassie!! Safe travels and we'll see you soon!!

Continueing Efforts to Green Up Our Act!!

If you've made a trip down to get your Embellish on in the last month, you may have noticed a change. We've shifted the front desk area around, moved our retail shelves to be more convenient for your shopping pleasure and we've added a new feature in the nook across from Well Being Space. We've had rave responses from those who have flowed through the changes with us and all have felt like this is the best feng shui- like shift we've made over the years. The receptionist space feels more inviting, the shopping space is more relevant to those in the mood to partake and the flow of energy from beginning to end has shifted to create a direction of ease and comfort for Daymakers and the Embellished alike.

Also...

If you take a quick look around the salon, we're continuing our efforts to be as green a salon as we possibly can. We're continually coming up with ideas on how to leave less of a carbon footprint and would like to eventually become a "Zero Impact" salon. With each step, we are proud to say that we are that much closer to reaching our goal. Quite a few of our clients have helped us out by purchasing the Davines canvas bags and have taken advantage of 15% off their future product purchases. We've also heard MANY compliments on on the fact that we've decided to toss the idea of offering bottled waters and are now offering fresh, ice cold glasses of cucumber lemon water. It's tasty, requires no plastic waste and makes for a refreshing addition to your Embellish-ment.

We'd like to thank Melanie for her ideas, efforts and encouragement. She's the main source of ideas and man power behind our green efforts and has taken the time to research, create the methods and find out just how green we can. Thanks Mel and thanks to all that are supporting us in moving toward being a "Zero Impact" space.

Pecha Kucha at Shakabrah.... How Fun Is That to Say?!? Oh yeah... and We Still Have MVPS Available!!

Congratulations to Trish on a fantastic Pecha Kucha presentation. A day in the life of this woman is truly unmatchable!! She wears many hats which most likely coordinate with a multitude of outfits and a variety of shoe choices.

After the bulk of our staff enjoyed the Pecha Kucha experience and made sure to cheer embarrassingly loud, we made our way over to Asado for a dinner filled with good eats and good laughs. It's been some time since we've had a chance to get together outside of the walls of the big purple building and though some of us were missing, it was a much needed night of relaxation and work fam togetherness.

Thanks to Shakabra for hosting this round of Pecha Kucha and thanks to Asado for providing us with tasty treats for our impromptu night of fun!!
