The holiday season begins

and Winter is on its way... It's going to be busy downtown for the next month or so. Please make sure to book all your appointments ahead of time, as the schedule is already beginning to fill up.
We held our first Halloween costume contest via Facebook and Twitter. Congratulations to Celine, who took part and won $100 in Bonacure and Osis products.
A great photoshoot came together a few weeks ago. Anastasia got to showcase her work, and we were lucky to be able to collaborate with Cop Copine boutique, which recently opened across Union Square from us. Cop Copine and Atelier Emmanuel are also offering a joint promotion to celebrate French Fashion and style, starting November 16th.

We just received the Morrocan Oil. It is a must have! It's such a versatile hair product, that it will make a good gift for many hair types.
On the subject of the holidays, consider our travel-size products if you plan on traveling for the holidays, and make sure your hair keeps getting the care it is used. Finally, check our stylist and salon schedules before you complete your plans for the end of the year.
Happy Thanksgiving!

A French touch in Union Square with Cop Copine and Atelier Emmanuel

Cop Copine opened its first U.S. store just 3 months ago, right here by Union Square at 343 Powell Street (the former Baccarat Space). We've had the tremendous opportunity to meet the owners and utilize their fashions for our most recent photoshoot. "Always unique, always fashionable, always French": The Cop Copine brand has enjoyed success in Europe for 20 years. The key ingredients of its clothing are dynamic styles coupled with innovative fabrics and smart prices.
As a French woman living in SF, I was thrilled to learn Cop Copine was opening a boutique in Union Square. Their collections can be worn either for work or on special occasions and it is true that you would never see the same shape or fabric on someone else unless you shopped at the same boutique. Their vision echoes that of Atelier Emmanuel: quality, elegance, passion and innovation for any occasion.
To support Cop Copine's new boutique, we are offering exclusive promotional passes (only 250 of them!) for 10% off for your first purchase at Cop Copine when you spend $150 with us.

Winter/Fall photoshoot with the photographer Elisa Cicinelli

Credits
Model: Lipa

Hairstyle: Anastasia

MakeUp: Magdalena Chavez

Fashion: Cop Copine Paris

Photographer: Elisa Cicinelli



Our latest photoshoot took place on a downtown rooftop with downtown as our background. Anastasia went with strong, vibrant red tones for the hair, that popped against the neutral winter colors of her outfits and the cityscape. The hair was styled in a wavy bob, echoing a 40's glamor. Our model, Lipa, was outfitted with 3 different ensembles from Cop Copine: an elegant overall choquette, a chic yet cosy black dress (morrison) and a beautiful coat (Karima).

The Original Morrocan Oil

We are excited to bring 2 products from the original Morrocan oil line.
The Morrocan Oil Treatment addresses over-processed, damaged, hair. Its ultra-light formula
absorbs instantly, resulting in a natural, silky finish and brilliant shine without leaving a residue.
- For styling and finishing, use a small amount (size of silver dollar) in the palm of your hand and work it through damp hair.
- for protection, apply a small amount to dry hair provides daily protection and frizz control. Use as often as needed.

The Intense Curl Cream, a leave-in conditioner, enhances shine and defines curls leaving them soft and hydrated without a sticky residue. For best results, apply one or two pumps to clean, damp hair, apply and comb it through. Let it dry naturally or use a diffuser to create more volume.
