{Fall & Winter Fashion Hair Trends!}

"Fashion trends aren't just a trend that died. They are still very popular/desired, just in a more toned down natural way like grey's & pastels are in for this season." 

-Kelsey Kent

{Bea Watson Styled to Last advanced education}

This past month we had the pleasure of having advanced education with Bea Watson, Global Educator for Aveda styling. Bea Watson has worked for more than 20 years as a hair stylist in the United Kingdom. Bea is proficient in hundreds of magazines, she also has a high-end celebrity clientele along working with fashion designers.

 

At Urban Sanctuary we were exclusively selected by Aveda Corporate to help for Bea Watson's prep before education. Our Aveda makeup artist, Katie applied Aveda makeup to the models that our staff at Urban Sanctuary selected for Bea's preference in hair type. Our talented staff consulted with Bea on which product to use on each client before washing and blowdrying hair before going to Bea's education class at another location. We are a new salon and it was a great experience to work with such a talented educator, Bea Watson!

The class was very educational in product usage and product knowledge. We are currently using Bea's knowledge in our salon on our guests daily to achieve an amazing style. With Bea's tips and tricks we believe we are the best salon for blowouts and updo's that last.

Call Urban Sanctuary to schedule your next blowout or updo style!

Enrich your blonde with Aveda hair color!

Spring and Summer is coming upon us. What is a better way to brighten up your hair than with the new Aveda blonde finishers?! It is only a 5 minute treatment before hair styling that lasts up to 4 weeks. This is to enrich your blonde after highlights or all over blonde is processed. There is a tone for each of you blonde beauties!

This past Tuesday we traveled to Wabasha for an amazing Aveda Spring/Summer blonding education class taught by the fabulous Rebecca!

{Our hair team with Rebecca}

We had one of our very talented hairstylists Lindsey for our blonde model! Since she loves the look of a cool toned blonde, we foiled her for lift and used the new "Ash" blonde finisher. Her blonde tones turned out beautiful!

{How to: Makeup your lipstick last with Aveda Makeup!}

How to: 

Make your lipstick

last longer with

Aveda Makeup!

Featuring Aveda's Rare Bloom Limited Edition Spring 2015 Makeup Collection!

{Steps}

1. Apply Aveda's exfoliant onto a clean mascara wand. Rub the mascara wand onto your lips for a great exfoliating treatment before applying any pigment. 

2. Apply Aveda's renewing lip treatment for moisture under the lipstick. This treatment does not leave your lips looking glossy, which is great for lipstick so it doesn't change the true pigment of the lipstick shade. 

3. Apply Aveda's lip definer to help prevent any bleeding from the lip pigments. This is a great lip liner for every woman to have because it goes with every shade of lipstick in your makeup bag!

4. After you have prepared your lips by prepping them. Now it's time for pigment! Apply Aveda's nourish-mint lip liner in dragon fruit. Start applying this pigment in the center of the lips and workout outward.

5. To make this gorgeous pink lip pigment last all day add an extra pigment! Apply Magenta Berry all over the lips, again start in the center of the lips and work outward.

6. Grab a tissue and let's get ready for business to make this pigment really last all day long! Apply the tissue over the lips and take a powder brush with Aveda's mineral loose powder over the tissue. Applying the loose powder over the tissue helps set the lipstick. Think of your liquid foundation, powder helps set the foundation. We just don't want the powder over the lips so that is why the tissue comes in handy! 

Now pucker up doll because you are going to look fabulous all day long!

Stop by Urban Sanctuary to let us help you find your perfect Spring shade!
