Last night we learned with the rest of Seattle that Elliott Bay is moving to Capitol Hill – directly across the street from Gary Manuel Aveda Institute.
This is such a great addition to the street as well a great fit for the building. It will be nice to see the building shine again. The space will include underground parking, a cafe, as well as a room for author events. Can’t wait!

Our Fall Career Fair was this week and it was the best one ever! With over 40 salons attending, it was a packed house. Our Career Fairs are held twice a year and allow salons and spas from the area to network, meet our Future Professionals and see their work.
The Fashion Show was amazing! Over 25 teams of Future Professionals created looks for two models using the theme “Head and Shoulders Above the Rest.” Great job everyone – can’t wait to see what you create in the Spring.
After the Career Fair, Gary, Tsofia and Heather from Gary Manuel Salon taught a class for the Cosmetology Future Professionals. The videos from this class will be on YouTube soon. Photos are courtesy of Chris, a stylist at Gary Manuel and Learning Leader at GMAI.

Beautiful work!
Thanks to Christopher Hermann of Aveda who came to GMAI and turned two days of training on hair and skin care products with the Learning Leaders into a fun and fantastic class! We can’t wait to have him back in November.

Thanks to the nearly 50 people at Gary Manuel Salon, Gary Manuel Aveda Institute and Puget Soundkeeper Alliance who cleaned the streets of Belltown and Capitol Hill this morning. For the second year in a row, they have pitched in to make Seattle cleaner and keep garbage out of Puget Sound.
