I have always been obsessed with Aveda products from the moment the brand made it’s debut.  As someone who lives for pure essential oils ( I cannot go a day without my dose of them in my nose, through my hair and all over my body ) Aveda is an obvious choice for the purity and authenricity of their products.

I was super thrilled to discover that master stylist, Jon Reyman and colorist Christine Thompson coming together to open Spoke&Weal, a full service Aveda Lifestyle salon, on West 3rd street ( right next to Toast!).

I checked out the massive, stunning space last week and Christine’s work on my horribly greying roots was nothing short of artful.  She studied the way my grey grows in, where it’s more white, where it’s more spotty, and matched the natural growth so that when it starts to grow in, say, where it is more white at the temples, the blond highlights in that specific area are lighter than elsewhere. It was not just ‘getting my roots did’ but a true science meets art meets beauty approach. My roots were matched perfectly to a my extremely detailed blonde highlighted situation and it was quite a tall order.  Christine finished off by infusing some much needed love to my naturally frazzled locks with an Aveda Botanical hair therapy treatment (or two!) that glossed, nourished and conditioned it – my hair looked 150% healthier, shiner and simply put – more stunning.   CAN I SAY THAT?  Yup, I totally can, because it has zero to do with me and everything to do with Christine’s knowledge, expertise and care.

I cannot wait to go back in a few weeks to see what Jon will do to shape and trim it. Grow hair grow so I can go get it cut!!

This salon is a must and so so so needed in this ‘hood.  Who wants to shlep to Bev Hills for hair all the time? Until now there was not one decent, let alone masterful, salon in the Fairfax area and now we have one to call our very own. YAY!
