GMAI got off to a great start this spring with the third ever biannual Career Fair. For nearly 6 months Cosmetology and Esthetics Future Professionals (FPs) planned and organized in teams to inspire participating salons and spas. The event began with attendees setting up booths on the clinic floor followed by a guided tour of the spa where Esthetics FPs in the Infinity Learning phase displayed their custom decorated skin care rooms, fully equipped with various items of inspiration including everything from cabana like motifs, natural elements, flowers and paintings to photos of far off lands and yes, resumes.

Following the Spa Rotation guests took a seat on the Cosmetology clinic floor to witness the much anticipated Fashion Show put on by teams of cosmetology FPs. The theme this season was “Human Nature.” An array of blossoms and petals were strewn across the runway as one-by-one models steadily and artfully pranced, danced strutted, and twisted down the runway. Each design team, made up of FPs from water, fire, air and Infinity learning phases orchestrated head to toe looks on paired models. After each look was presented, teams came out on the runway to take a bow in front of their models. Afterwards the fair was open and all the GMAI FPs toured the booths and met with and shared resumes with potential future employers.

Gary Manuel Salon and Gary Manuel Aveda Institute aim to raise over $30,000 with Aveda to support the efforts to permanently protect the globally outstanding Klamath-Siskiyou forests in Oregon state. See http://www.siskiyou.org/ for further details about the Siskiyou project. In keeping with our mission to care for the world we live in we are again focusing our energy on this important campaign to protect our precious natural resources, wild rivers and vital bio diversity. This season we are launching campaigns in both the Gary Manuel Salon in Belltown and GMAI on the hill. Check out our Earth month T-shirts. Purchase an aromatic “Light Your Way Candle” where all proceeds go toward our cause. Visit the Institute where you can enjoy a “sensory journey” and in return donate whatever you can to help us make the world a cleaner, healthier planet for our future.

The Kick-off event is April 29 from 9am to 11am. Rolf from the Siskiyou Project will be speaking. Please contact Dane at 206-302-1049 if you are interested in attending.

The response was phenomenal as Guests of Gary Manuel Aveda Institute and Gary Manuel Salon took part in Citysearch.com’s annual Best of Citysearch poll.

Remarkably, GMAI ranked in the top three for Best Facial. Gary Manuel Salon was voted the editorial winner for Best Salon and, no surprise, Gary Manuel Salon was voted the editorial and audience winner for Color and Highlights.

Voters responded with kind words and wonderful feedback as well. The whole Gary Manuel Team sends out a heartfelt Thanks to everyone who voted. We promise to meet your expectations.
