Twice a year, recent graduates from our training program put on a fashion show for GMS & GMAI team members (including FP’s) at GMAI. they spend weeks creating the theme, hair & makeup looks. This time we had SIX graduates – Sydney, Dan, Audrey, Parker, Kami and Opal. It was especially exciting as Parker, Dan and Opal were the first GMAI graduates to begin working at Gary Manuel Salon. Kudos to all!
Ashley just graduated from Phase 3 and our training program! She loves doing updos, easy-to-style looks and blond foils.
Her hobbies include her two chihuahuas (both adorable), watching movies and eating out.
Ashley is available for services at Gary Manuel Salon Tuesday – Friday from 10-6pm and Saturdays from 9-6pm.
Ashley moves to GMS
Last week a team of Future Professionals and stylists from Phase 3 and Gary Manuel did the hair & makeup for the models at Seattle Fashion Week’s first event – a “Project Runway” style competition for young fashion designers. The prize – a chance to show their collection at Seattle Fashion Week in April. Heather Dobson, a stylist from GMS who is also on our Creative Team, was a guest judge.
A big shout out to our team from GMAI – Tawnya, Sicily, Tyson, Annika and Laura – who did a fantastic job at Big Oscar Night!
Gary Manuel Aveda Institute hosted the Beauty Bar for the VIP guests of Big Brothers Big Sisters. They received hair and makeup finishing touches as well as hand massages. VIP guests also received a swag bag with a gift from GMAI of a free facial and shampoo/style (along with a few products.) We helped BBBS raise over $5,000 that evening – their highest donation yet for that event.
Thanks again for helping us make their night!
