"April Showers bring May Flowers"

April 2012

Greetings!

 

It was the English poet,Thomas Tusser who penned the words, "Sweet April showers do spring May flowers." It is as true today as it was in the 1557 when he penned that saying. By the way, another of his well known proverbs is that a "fool and his money are soon parted". 

 

Here at Artisan Salon we are welcoming back our snow birds from their hiatus to warmer climes. They'll be tending their gardens soon and watching as May's tulips and aromatic lilacs bloom. Our salon phone is ringing a fury as many of our guests schedule their appointments though the summer- another sure sign of Spring :)

 

Whether you spent the winter in New England or Florida, your hair may be needing a vacation from winter's weather that makes hair unmanageable for many. A deep conditioning treatment or clear glossing may be just the thing for your hair to shine again. For your skin, we want to make sure the moisturizer you use is providing enough protection from the dryness as well as the sun which is getting higher and brighter. (That goes for all of you guys, too!) Morgan can guide you through the maze of skin card products and offer a deep cleansing and moisturizing facial to bring your skin back from the winter's damage.

 

As you know, Jim and Morgan are all about wellness; for the hair, body and inner self, so today we will tell you what's new in the world of hair and skin care and teach you a few new tricks. So, grab your favorite cup of tea, settle in and enjoy this brief time together


 

 

 


Earth month 2012
 
All kids need water.

In honor of earth day, Aveda has set aside a whole month to love, celebrate and raise monies to protect the earth and its peoples. Aveda salons have raised over $22 million since 1999. Over the last 5 years $16 million of the funds supported clean water projects at home and around the world.

 

At Artisan Salon, we will 

once again be selling the "Light The Way" candle for $12 to support this cause.


 This candle is a 100% naturally derived soy wax candle infused with organic lavender and other pure flower and plant extracts in candleholders that were once wine cooler bottles. 

Your Light The Way candle purchases and donations since 2007 have touched the lives of 25,000 families worldwide by helping Global Greengrants fund water projects like these: training 3,500 people in sustainable and organic agriculture methods; helping 20 communities implement local water resource management plans; enabling 100 communities to take action against toxic industrial pollution and hundreds of other projects that have helped protect water rights and water access around the world.

A 20's and 30's men's hairstyle revival
the clippers make all the difference

There'll be no shortage of hair cuts in 2012 that require a set of clippers, but they won't all be influenced by the way men wore their hair in the 1920s and1930s. Even AMC's hit series Mad Men which is set in the 60's has also started a retro revolution in men's hairstying. 
We're not talking about one specific style, but a variation on a theme: short back, short sides, and length through the top. In its time its had many a name, each related to the subculture indulging in it. But in short (not a pun, honestly) the length on top slicked backwards, meaning that the disconnect between the back, sides and top makes this an undercut hairstyle.
 At Artisan Salon, Jim has been using his tonsorial skills for over 35 years. His work on the guys has given him an edge that he has been honed through the years. "I love this retro look that harkens back to the days when men were so well groomed", he states. For maintenance he recommends Aveda's grooming cream or firm hold gel. Jim also wants his male clientele to pick up some of Aveda's Dual Action After Shave to heal the skin and moisturize to keep your skin looking younger year after year.

Lessons from Artisan Salon 

 

 

Beautifully shaped eyebrows with a nice arch are an important part of a polished look. When done well, eyebrow shaping calls attention to your eyes, frames them, and makes them appear more open.

But it's easy to make mistakes when you do it yourself. The most common mistake is over-tweezing into a thin, high, rounded eyebrow that gives your face a permanently surprised look.

Another common mistake of do-it-yourselfers is creating an unflattering fish-hook shape where the thickest part of the brow gets much thinner abruptly. For people with thin, blonde eyebrows, it's easy to take too much off the sides so the brow seems to disappear.


"Eyebrows are like fingerprints, no two people are the same," says Morgan at Artisan Salon. As a brow expert I study my guests' face shape, eyebrow texture and his or her bone structure. "

 

A well crafted eye brow shape can accentuate the eyes and compliment the face. Having the correct brow helps to frame your eyes and give your face definition, shaping them in a particular way such as having a very high arch right in the middle of the eye, can make you appear angry when you're not. After all our eyebrows help us to show our expression like when we're shocked or worried.
 
Eye brow waxing is an inexpensive service that can make a huge impression on the way the world looks at you. Woman as well as men should make an appointment every few weeks to keep the customized shape that Morgan can create for them.

 

 

Thank you  for being our client. When you call for an appointment it sends a signal that you appreciate the customer service that we provide. The greatest compliment you could give us is to recommend us to a friend or forward this newsletter to them.

As always, we will do our best to make each visit a special experience for you!
