GMAI’s Fall Career Fair Rocked!

16 10 2009

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.

Update on Big Oscar Night

5 03 2009

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!
