Gila Rut Salon

Another successful trip to NYFW (fashion week) I’ll share the highlights & keep it short & sweet…………
What’s hot this season? Read on…
The clothing have a beautiful classic look with strong linear edges. It seemed most designers were inspired by the minimal. Beautifully hand crafted materials & soft tones of blue, red & gray were the hit this season.
The hair was classic. Ponytails, lopped ballerina buns & romantic curls all polished to perfection with the help of Aveda’s Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener & the hold of the Control Force hairspray.
The Make-Up was fresh & light with deep tones of peach for the cheeks. The lips were glossy with a hint of pink and for the eyes were a light shadow to give a ‘bright eyed’ look.
Stay tuned for your access to the next shows & fashion trends, coming fall of 2011
Besos,

Hola,

I just got back from one of my favorite places, NYC! I am happy to leave the heat & humidity, but it was all worth it, as my journey was the start of a new adventure.

What the “H” am I talking about you ask? Well I was in Hot ass, Humid ass, Manhattan to train for the ‘2010 Fall Fashion’ Week!!!!!

I can hardly hold back my excitement. I wish I had a lot of cool stuff to share with you, but the truth is what I learned would probably not appeal to you, LOL. It might even appear ugly to most people. Let’s not forget that most fashion & hair trends always start that way.

I had the opportunity to learn from Jon Reyman, an amazing stylist & veteran to Fashion week. He will be heading our team for this year’s back stage madness.

We are so fortunate to have been asked to do the hair and make up for the 37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. We got the call 10 days before the event and were asked if we could pull together a team of 10 for this event. I said ” I will try” with such short notice, I gathered my Creative Team together, ran it by them and prayed for a ~yes~…Not only did I get a ‘yes’, I got a ‘hell yeah’! I have the most amazing team in the industry.

They were all so excited to embark on this journey together. We booked our flights to Vegas, leaving at 8:30 a.m. and to return at 11:00 p.m. O.K. game on! We land in Vegas and get picked up in style by a huge Limo…pull up to the Hilton to see the red carpet being rolled out. (not for us … Read More

We have some fresh, fun and bold ideas that will put you right in the mood!!!

Fresh~

How about a hint of glow? Introduce a Colour Gloss to your hair. AVEDA’s Glossing treatments are 99% naturally derived. They are loaded with Jojoba Oil, Sunflower Oil & Green Tea extracts, best suitable for hair that’s lacking life. You will be shocked at the shine!

Fun~

Sun Kissed hair is one of Hollywood’s obsessions, and one of my favorites for spring. This is a great way to get a new fresh coloured look, by creating natural highlights just a few shades lighter than your natural colour. This process adds dimension & movement to your fabulous haircut.

Bold~

Dare to be different! We have the perfect service for you: Purple, Red, Magenta, Blue… I did say bold. These colours are statements & they have nothing to do with the seasons, but they are … Read More
