Celebrating Change and Creativity with Aveda Hair Care
The Aveda Autumn Equinox hair styling showcase event in Staines London was a breathtaking showcase of artistry and innovation, perfectly aligning with the seasonal transition. Set against the serene backdrop of Amber Lakes Resort, the gathering offered a unique opportunity for the Aveda hair care community to celebrate creativity and connection. I was very proud to receive recognition for being an Aveda salon owner for over 20 years. This highlight made the experience even more meaningful.
