Every year, our team looks forward to that letter announcing our being included in this award. Our business growth has been driven by organic growth through our people.

Scentology

tagged scent in news

We're thrilled to now be carrying Demeter fragrances! This line of fragrance is specially made to smell exactly like the scents you would find in nature. They are inspired by real life everyday objects and experiences, intended to draw upon memories.

Scent has a strong connection to memory. The slightest whiff of, say, gingerbread can bring you back to childhood when grandma was baking fresh gingerbread cookies for the holidays. Imagine filling your home with this scent or dabbing yourself with the soothing aroma before heading off to work.

You could also spray your Christmas Tree with a scented room spray, like "Fur," "Dirt," or "Christmas Tree." Or, if company is on their way and you don't have time to bake something fabulous, spray the house with "Chocolate Chip Cookie," "Mulled Cider," "Sugar Cookie," or "Creme Brulee."

Some of the other scents we offer include:

Happy Hour collection Between the Sheets, Lavender Martini, Redhead in Bed, Gin & Tonic, Sex on the Beach, Mojito, Fuzzy Navel... and more!

Holiday collection Mulled Cider, Fireplace, Sugar Cookie, Gingerbread, Christmas Tree, Hot Toddy, Christmas in New York... and more!

Herbology collection Bamboo, Fresh Ginger, Lychee, Green Tea, Clover... and more!

Man collection Dirt, Mahogany, Riding Crop, Pure Soap, Whiskey Tobacco, Salt Air, Russian Leather, Sawdust, Bonfire... and more!

Naturals collection Orchid, Lilac, Clover, Cherry Blossom, Violet, Wet Garden... and more!

Culinary collection Creme Brulee, Brownie, Hershey's Kiss, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Pink Lemonade... and more!

Come by to play with our Demter samples and see what you like best. We have TONS of choices and you're sure to find at least one that tickles your fancy or stirs up a memory.

So... What's the Deal With Box Color?

tagged color, hair and Bumble in news

"You can give a stylist the same paints that Van Gogh used, but they won't be able to paint like Van Gogh."

This holds true for hair color. A professional colorist makes sure they're using the best color available and it's being applied it in such a way that only a colorist can.

Our stylists create a color that is an experience for the client - beyond what they can achieve in their home. Box color will give you a generic color, while a stylist will formulate a color that's specific to your individual needs and wishes. It's all about customization.

In addition, it’s important to have the right products at home and maintain the color on a daily basis. Bumble and Bumble's Color Support Shampoos keep hair color looking beautiful.

These are the keys to achieving a gorgeous hair color that will last much longer than your average out-of-the-box color.
