Atelier Emmanuel tweets and follows for Halloween

Some of you are getting ready to nest, some of you are gearing for a season of festivities. Whichever type you are, you'll benefit from our latest promotion, going on until November 15th.

More and more of our clients are treating their hair to either the Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy by Coppola or the Brazilian Blowout—two systems of keratin treatment with amazing results. Learn how to extend those results by using the right products.
Beginning in October, April will recession proof your nails with weekly incentives on Mondays and Tuesdays. For those of you planning on dressing up for Halloween, she's also made sure to stock all the right polishes for your costume ideas.
It's high time to introduce Candice, our new receptionist, in this newsletter!
Our recent bridal shoot hasn't yet been released, but we're sharing some '"behind-the-scenes'" shots.
Finally, continuing our great headway onto the web, on top of being on Facebook, we are now on Twitter! If you're a deal hunter, looking for extra promotions on beauty services and products, then you should definitely become a FOLLOWER of Atelier Emmanuel. We'll be offering last minute offers on a regular basis. We are so 2.0.

Relax from head to toe this month

Start the session with 30 minutes of bodywork then follow with a tailored Hair & Scalp care treatment session with essential oils and scalp massage. $60 to get relaxed from head to toe from Monday to Friday only (until Nov 15th).
As Tracie would say, "Nice!"

(While this is a great package to get before a haircut, please note that Hair & Scalp care treatments should not be booked on the same day as color services.)

Focus on Brazilian Blowout maintenance products line

Keratin treatments such as Keratin Smoothing Therapy by Coppola and Brazilian Blowout work best and last longest when you use a dedicated product line, like the Brazilian Blowout Acai Aftercare maintenance products (yes, it's a mouthful. But they're great products). In fact, the Brazilian Blowout product line offers some of the same benefits as the treatments do! Packed with keratin, they can even serve as a test run for you to see how keratin can smooth your hair and reduce frizz!
The Açai Anti-Frizz Shampoo, an exclusive, sulfate-free cleansing system, extends the life of a Keratin Treatment by maintaining the vital moisture and protein balance needed for optimal smoothness, radiance, and frizz-free hair.
The Açai Anti-Frizz Conditioner infuses the hair with moisture and essential nutrients while coating the hair with smoothing proteins that fortify and seal the cuticle. It locks in moisture, locks out humidity, while protecting hair color.
The Daily Smoothing Serum detangles and further conditions hair, adding to the benefits of the conditioner.
The Deep Conditioning Masque takes it to the next level, drenching each hair strand with exclusive, nutritive proteins to eliminate frizz, promote shine, and guarantee the longest-lasting smoothing result. This rich product should only be used once a week.

Discover the making-of of our Bridal photoshoot in July

Last July, Atelier Emmanuel, Arrowood photography and Ossai Design partnered to organize a photoshoot dedicated to brides. Tara has an extensive portfolio of wedding shoots, but wanted to work on something a little "leftfield" and innovative. Partnering with Kevin Meynell, a frequent collaborator, the photoshoot took shape: elegant brides wandering in an alley full of graffiti. Azadeh Couture kindly lent us 5 gowns and Zhalika from Ossai Design arrayed them with beautiful sashes.

Darby created an avant-garde look weaving an Ossai Design headpiece into a hyper-sculpted updo for a model she used Savannah, kindly provided to us by Look Model Agency. Charles played the glamour angle with Nora, also from Look Model Agency. Our own Tracie handled makeup.
We shot in the Mission on July 14th. It was probably one of the hottest days of the summer! The heat kept Tracie busy touching up the makeup so that the models looked cool, even if the rest of us were wet with sweat. We even had someone on point with an umbrella to shield the models in between shots. Keep your eye out for the shoot to show up in print soon. Meanwhile, here's our little behind-the-scenes slideshow.

A big thanks to:
Tara Arrowood and Kevin Meynell, Zhalika from Ossai Design, Azadeh and Ariana from Azadeh Couture; cheers to Colin, Nicolas and Mehdi for lending us their apartment as a staging area; and of course Darby, Tracie and Charles from Atelier Emmanuel for their great work.
