So, in keeping with the balance of my business and this blog, health and self care come in many forms. I just had "organic" hair color tonight. It was delicious, fabulous, relaxing and above all professional. And it was a class!
Where did I go for the fabulous once in a lifetime experience? The Roy Teeluck Salon on East 57th Street in the great city of Manhattan across from the Four Seasons hotel.
Ordinarily, a color job there where they do Balayage highlighting - an extraordinary technique for a new kind of blonde who only wants to get highlights once every 3-4 months (can you believe it!!), would cost $195 and up. I have shoulder length hair - so I am sure I am in the and up figure and after this experience, I'd gladly pay that!!! but tonight, I went to a class as a model (now when do you get to be a model - its fab to feel like a model!) for only $50.
That buys you a one of a kind hair treatment, blowout, a chance to drop in on the instructive process with Roy himself (very instructive for me as I build my own business) and your choice from the complimentary beverage menu - a glass of wine (a quite good one at that!), a cappuchino, water or a variety of other choices and to feel like gold for a few hours. Along with my color job I got a head massage and a very nice blowout, plus I was allowed to critique the work to Roy himself. It felt like being a judge on the food network. It was so fun and plus I have this fabulous new do!
I highly recommend Roy Teeluck salon at 38 East 57th Street 212.888.2221 for your next salon experience. Try the class or go the whole nine yards and pay full price for the service. You won't regret it! I had Danielle the trainee - she was great and only 21. One day - celebrities will be knocking down her door for appointments and I can say, I knew her back when. Michelle - the head colorist consulted and did several of the highlights. Roy stood by and supervised making sure I was happy. It does not get much better than that. Ladies (and guys too!) this is an urban oasis that gives you a little bit of pampering...just what you deserve to reward yourself. So much better than brownies! Now if only I could get up to 8 miles running tomorrow as easily as I got a new do!
