Fashion Week San Diego is a wrap!
Oct 11, 2017
Fashion week is huge in the beauty industry. Thankfully, we don’t need to catch the red eye to NYC to find the upcoming trending styles or hottest emerging designers—we just need to catch an Uber to Broadway Pier. If you missed this year’s show, don’t sweat. We caught up with our two lead designers—Janette Cruz and Michael Soberanes—to give us a front row seat to all things fashion week. Read the Q&A below.
Tell us about the shows!
Janette: The shows for this season were beautiful! There was so much color and texture in the clothing and it went with the hair inspiration perfect.

Meet Michael – Manager at Gila Rut
How long have you been working for Gila Rut?
In March, I will be celebrating 8 amazing years with Gila Rut! I met the owner, Keri, when I moved here in 2000. Seven years later, I phoned her and said I was coming to work for her company. I knew it would be a perfect match.
What do you love most about working in a salon?
What’s not to love? I adore the culture of our company, from the teamwork and family atmosphere, to helping the guests everyday. I get to work with so many different team members, and it’s always fun to step away from my management role and provide makeup artistry for the guests. I think that the opportunity and balance between business and creativity is my favorite part about working for Gila Rut. I have had the pleasure to work … Read More
