Happy Holidays from Carol the Colorist



It has been an exciting year for me, and I am overjoyed to celebrate my first Christmas in New York City.  I am keeping my fingers crossed for a white Christmas but I will settle for snow at any point during the Christmas weekend.

I find it almost hard to believe that Baltz and I packed up the cats and a 22 ft truck and drove up to New York only four months ago.  We miss many people and things in Atlanta, but have fully embraced and adapted to our new city.  One of the biggest changes is the commute.  I am very fortunate to live and work very close to the subway, and I am glad to not drive on I-285.  I have acquired the right New York outerwear,  I hope.  I am fortunate, I think, that my current haircut responds well to hat hair.

I love working at Aveda Vandam Salon, and really love working with such an amazing team.  The environment is very comfortable and sophisticated at the same time.  Being Aveda, every detail has the well-being of both the guests and the staff in mind.  We invite our guests to lounge on sofas while they wait for their color to process, and offer Botanical Hair and Scalp Therapy spa services in a VIP suite where one feels miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

My business at the salon is growing at a fair rate, and I am getting many clients through the Carol the Colorist blog.  I am thankful for everyone who is reading and I am sorry I haven't been writing as much since the move.  Can you blame me though?  I just moved to a new amazing city, and I am making new friends, seeing new things!

As I welcome a New Year, I would love to welcome some new clients to the salon.  Great hair color requires great chemistry; both in the bowl, and between a client and a colorist.  Until further notice, I will offer 20% off the first color service of any new guest to Aveda Vandam.  Just mention "Beauty Within Reach" when booking.  If you are already a client, you will receive 20% off a color service after three clients that are referred by you, come see me at Aveda Vandam for the first time.  They get 20% off, you get 20% off, and everyone has great color.  So spread the word!

Merry Christmas, everyone, and I hope we all have a happy and healthy 2011!
