Congratulations to Chris and Nyesha who just graduated from the Gary Manuel training program!  Now are both providing fantastic services to their guests at the main Gary Manuel salon.

Nyesha loves doing ethnic hair (and is great at it…just read Citysearch) and Chris is great at curly hair (he also gives a mean hand massage).

Good work and looking forward to see what is next!!





Happy Earth Day!

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.

Earth Month is here!

This year, we are looking to raise $45,000 for Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, a Seattle-based organization that ensures companies and cities are following the Clean Water Act. Last year Gary Manuel Salon’s $45,000 in contributions covered more than half of their annual administrative costs.

Every dollar counts towards helping keep Puget Sound clean! Click on the logo above to donate & see what’s in it for you (besides feeling good about yourself).
