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.
