Happy Thanksgiving !

Thanksgiving to New Year’s is one long run of picture taking, so everyone is getting ready with hair, waxing, and nail services. To help jumpstart the holiday rush, we are offering 50% off on adjunct services during Thanksgiving week. Between now and New Year’s, we recommend that you book your appointments ahead of time, as the schedule can fill up quickly during the holiday season. Fortunately Atelier Emmanuel remains open on Friday, November 27th and Saturday, November 28th to maximize your options. Please check our Agenda for holiday hours.
April has recently been trained with soak-off gel nail polish application, that will give you long lasting and impeccable manicures. Atelier Emmanuel is now offering ODACITE, a skin care line that goes beyond organic. We are stocking their detox kits at the salon to help your skin look its best for the holiday season. Needless to say, they also make a good ready made gift!
In this newsletter we introduce you to our other receptionist, Nora. Finally, a reminder that you can still purchase tickets for La Soiree, held on Friday November 19th. This event is hosted by the French American Chamber of Commerce at the Metreon. It is going to be a lot of fun and we’d like to see you there!
Happy Thanksgiving and see you next month!

New service : Soak Off Gel Nail Polish

If you’ve never been good at having your nail polish last more than an hour, our manicurist April has a solution for you: the Soak-Off Gel Nail Polish. Soak-Off Gel Polish is painted on with a brush then each layer is “cured” under a UV light to dry. Your nails are impeccably dry with a very thin and natural look. Soak-Off Gel lasts from 2-3 weeks with no chipping, depending on how active you are. Anytime you want to change your color, it can be easily done. Paint right over Soak-Off Gel with regular nail polish and remove it with a non-acetone remover, it doesn't take away the shine of the gel!
It’s a process which requires much less filling, but the preparation and removal needs to be done by a professional.
April uses OPI Axxium Soak Off Gel.
Allow 1 hour for 1st-time application. Cost : $45
Allow 10 minutes for removal (soaking nails)

Stepping into the new era of skincare with Odacite

We have discovered a new skin care line called ODACITE, which offers the first and only Freshly Made skin care line.
Valerie Grandury is the French founder and CEO of Odacite. When Valerie was diagnosed with breast cancer, she started detoxifying her environment. She was fortunate to recover and thereafter wanted to dedicate herself to helping people develop and maintain a more healthy beauty care style. She founded Odacite with the help of Romain Gaillard with the goal of creating skin care products that actually bring wellness to our skin with zero toxicity.
Each Odacite product is dated to ensure freshness, guaranteeing the efficacy of each ingredient. There are no parabens, no glycols, no petrochemicals, no phenoxyethanol, no fragrance, no formaldehydes and no phthalates.
And guess what? Odacity products leave your skin soft and moisturized with a light non oily texture. Each product of the line comes in beautiful packaging, making the daily experience of skin care an ultimate treat.
1 month detox kits ($69) are available at the salon and come with: a day moisturizer, a night serum, a cleanser, a toner, an exfoliant and some goodies and directions for you to make the most use of this beauty boost for the holidays!
