Cutting Trends Class

We are all very excited after finishing our cutting trends class. "It was a great class that we all really learned a lot from", said Master Stylist/Salon Lead Hilary Cowdin. "Larissa did such a great job going from the initial design to the finished cut & style. We worked on three new women cuts and one new men's cut. Everyone is very excited to try them out on their guests".

Holiday 2009 Kickoff At AVEDA

Magen and I attended the holiday kickoff meeting at Aveda yesterday. It was a lot of fun and very informative.

THE BEST GIFTS OF ALL. FAMILY. HOME. HOPE. AN AVEDA GIFT SET MAKES A DIFFERENCE: For 3 years, Aveda has joined hands with families in Nepal to sustain real change and help raise household income by 318%, reduce migration for jobs by 15% and send 4,800 children to school.* We help guide micro-enterprises in making and marketing paper handcrafted from the sustainable Lokta shrub. Our collaboration with villages and visionary organizations** in Nepal moves mountains: Changing the fabric of life so families can stay intact and women? for the first time? can participate in success. Earnings help families afford school and break the cycle of poverty for the next generation. When you give an Aveda gift set? topped with Nepali paper? you give what really matters. Changing the outlook for a beautiful people, with beautiful intentions. EVERY GIFT BRIGHTENS LIVES.

Look for gifts from Aveda this holiday season!

Thanks, Tim Tupy

RECYCLE CAPS WITH AVEDA

RECYCLE CAPS WITH AVEDA

Aveda found that a majority of plastic bottle caps do not get recycled today.

Often these caps end up as litter or trash, ending up in landfills and beaches or migrating into our rivers and oceans. Birds and other marine creatures mistake them for food with tragic results. The magnitude of this pollution problem is devastating to our oceans and wildlife.

For more information from Aveda check out this link. http://aveda.aveda.com/aboutaveda/caps.asp

LIV Aveda Salon & Spa has been part of this program from the beginning. Most of the collecting has been a grass roots approach in the Mankato, MN area. Most of the caps have come from guests who are part of the local school systems, or children of our guests who want to do something to help the Earth.

You can be part of the solution by joining Recycle Caps with Aveda.

Aveda's recycling initiative helps extend the current boundaries of recycling and elicit participation from all corners of our community. With the help of our network of salons and stores, in partnership with community schools, Aveda is building a new recycling program for plastic bottle caps in which caps are collected at stores and schools and then sent by Aveda to our recycler where the material is recycled into new caps and containers. Aveda has been able to work closely with our suppliers to develop ways to make new caps and containers from the recycled caps. We hope to ship new products using this reworked, environmentally-friendly material later this year.

If you have caps that need recycling feel free to drop them off at LIV Aveda Salon & Spa.

Recently the Girl Scouts of America approached Aveda Corp. to help collect caps. General Manager of LIV Aveda Salon & Spa, Magen Feuchtenberger stated, "The Girls Scouts of America contacted us to see if they can partner with us as a drop spot for the local chapters". "We didn't anticipate just how many caps would show up". Co-Owner of LIV Aveda Salon & Spa Tami Tupy said, "Just this weeks we've had thousands of caps dropped off and it is sad to know that for years many of these caps have been ending up in landfills."

The pictures below shows you just how many caps we received in one day.
