After a full week of planning, shooting, and editing, and another week to finish up the details, the salon project is just about wrapped up on my end! The new website hasn’t launched quite yet; they are busy fine-tuning their verbiage and services. As soon as it is up, I’ll let you know! It was an incredible week, amazing to be surrounded with such talent, beauty and strength. I know I already mentioned the staff at Michelle Kenric Hair Studio & Spa, but I just have to say again how talented they are. Seriously, if you’re anywhere near the St. Cloud, Minnesota area, definitely give them a call and set up an appointment. I watched them work their magic on their clients, who all left happy, beautiful, and rejuvenated.
I even got to experience it firsthand! Woot! I was lucky enough to have the fabulous Adison cut and color my hair. After a consultation with the entire team that morning, we decided to bring my hair back to my cute little inverted bob that I had been growing out, and shake up the color. She colored the underlayers brown, and the rest she foiled with blonde and PINK highlights! I absolutely adore it, it’s so fun! The Aveda color is so gentle too, my hair feels amazing and has LIFT! Love it! After that, the multi-talented Meghan worked her makeup artistry on me and walked me through the application so I could re-create it later. Meanwhile, Wendy was busy creating me a personalized scent based on notes I liked. How cool is that?! I was positively glowing for the rest of the day! :) Everyone should have an experience like that, and I truly believe that all of their clients do. They always do a little something extra for their clients to make them look and feel their best, and they really love doing it.
Throughout the week, I photographed the staff, their work, the location, and their products. I created an image collection that they will be able to use for all of their current and future marketing and advertising campaigns. The new website is underway, I created a facebook page for the salon, and started up a blog that they can continue to update with company news, events, and specials. I’m looking forward to following along with their updates! :) Here are a handful of my favorite images from the collection of 477, starting with their gorgeous location! I just love the bright, colorful decor – everything is modern and clean, yet so warm and inviting!
And I looooove Aveda products!!!
My top fave products: Air Control, the Ceramic Round Brush, Phomollient Styling Foam and the Volumizing Tonic. YEAH baby!! :)
And the makeup!!! Eeeee!!!
One of their amazing hair stylists just had a baby girl. She brought her in, and the entire place was filled with aww’s, coo’s and smiles. :) Congratulations, April! What a beautiful baby girl!
Thanks again to Michelle Kenric Hair Studio & Spa, their incredible team, and the fabulous Wendy for inviting me in on the project. I had such a great time with you all, and we got so much accomplished! I hope I can swing by again soon. Maybe I’ll go for the purple next time ;)
One last thing… Just a quick note about Aveda – I’m a longtime fan of their products and their philosophy. Not only are their plant-based products totally awesome, they are also very earth-conscious and responsible. They use recycled materials, very minimal packaging, and encourage awareness about conservation. Their current campaign is about clean water, which you can read about here. Also, please visit this website for more information and to purchase some fab Aveda products!
