This is the kind of month we like at AE! A couple of runs of nice weather, and lots of action in our salon...
We participated in a number of photoshoots and events including Yelé Jewelry, Netsuite Awards Gala, SF Magazine, and a 1920's styled shoot.
Our massage therapist Margarita popped up in The Examiner's My City. Paul graduated to junior stylist. Meanwhile Virginie continues to build our online presence, and creating avenues to announce our daily specials to you.
We certainly hope to continue in this vein next month. First up? Complimentary desserts by Galaxy Desserts, next week. We hope to see you soon!

Paul's Graduation Promotion
Our assistant Paul graduated to Junior Stylist status at our salon this week.After nearly 2 years with Atelier Emmanuel, over 80 intense training sessions, nearly 3,000 hours of observation, assistance and apprenticeship with senior stylists... Paul finally qualified to become a Junior Stylist.
Yes, it requires patience and skill to become a professional hair stylist — especially with Emmanuel, who has built the Atelier Emmanuel brand around the ideals of craftsmanship and Old World apprenticing.
To celebrate, and introduce himself to clients who don't yet know him, Paul is offering Express Hair Treatments with a complimentary blow-dry for $30 — which saves you 50% off the standard value of $60.
Express Hair Treatments are a boon to your hair and scalp as well as a soothing, relaxing experience so we encourage you to try a session!
Until June 15th
How to Get In On Special Promotions
We always feature a monthly promotion meant to introduce you to new services, products and people at our salon. In addition to these, we've been getting into offering last minute (and sometimes spur of the moment) promotions. This might happen, for example, when there has been a last minute cancellation or re-scheduling, leaving us with an appointment opening that we want to fill.
If you'd like to benefit from these last minute promotions, all you need to do is follow us on Facebook or Twitter. This is where we will post these first come, first served specials. Facebook is where we also post articles and thoughts on hair. If you want only the deals, Twitter is the best venue for you.

Hair at the Cannes
As a French owned atelier, we always keep an eye on France for events which combine beauty, fashion, and art.
The main draw this month is the Cannes Film Festival, currently underway. As the most famous international movie stars gather under the sun of the Côte d’Azur, fashionistas and the press keenly look for who impresses most with their look.
So far, in our opinion, the most striking entrance on the red carpet has been Jane Fonda, in attendance for the premiere of Sleeping Beauty.
The media mainly focused on the elegance of her white and sheer floor-length Emilio Pucci dress. But as stylists, we were impressed by the look and structure of her hair: the association of light and radiant highlights with perfectly tousled locks uplifted her cheekbones, eyes and smile.
This 'chic and sauvage' hair cut also conveyed a sense of dynamism and spontaneity that could make you forget that Ms. Fonda is in fact 73-year-old...
That’s why we definitely like this hairstyle!

Photoshoot for Yelé Jewelry
We got to work yet again with our longtime friends and collaborators Tara Arrowood and Kevin Meynell. The goal of this photoshoot was to populate a website for Yelé Jewelry by Lauren Dils, a regional jewelry designer.
Yelé (Ye-lay)
"The fundamental operating principle of Yelé is to provide superior jewelry, raise awareness, offer consumers an alternative for sustainable jewelry and to give back.
Each piece is designed and hand-made, with a commitment to making as little environmental impact as possible. The current collections — Pebble, Raya, Sansu & Wassa — have been named after mines that need reform or a proposed mine that, if implemented, is expected to cause irreversible harm to the environment and surrounding communities.
Getting to work with Lauren's collections first hand during the photoshoot, I can attest that there are some very nice pieces in them. What I like about them is the subtle touches she brings to seemingly simple designs, the tactile textures, and how the pieces play with light.
I've credited everybody who was involved below. Most of them have links. If you have need of similar services, I recommend all of these guys. Atelier Emmanuel has done many shoots with Tara, Kevin, and Lena and they are always a pleasure to work with, to say nothing of the excellent work that they do.

Emmanuel, Hairstylist to the (Circus) Stars
Emmanuel again worked with Velocity Circus for an event, this time Netsuite's Award Show and Gala. In addition to styling the hair, he assembled (and in some cases built) the wigs for the characters in the various performances.

AE participates in a 1920's inspired shoot
This shoot was organized by photographer Bailey Harada-Stone.
Bailey wanted to do a slightly modern take on the classic style of the 1920's. The project was shot to benefit everyone's portfolio and give all of us a chance to collaborate on a creative venture.
All the stylists at AE love to do this kind of work, of course, and it was great to have Nicole get her first taste of working for a photoshoot.
This ended being a warm-up for two more photoshoots which Nicole got to participate in. The next was our May 2 in-house photoshoot and then Nicole also recently assisted Emmanuel at the Netsuite Awards Gala.
