Winter Fashion Release

XEX Aveda Hair Salon Winter Fashion Release

The change of seasons is a great time to change hair color. Too lighter shades are fun in the summer sunshine while deeper richer shades reflect the on set of fall. It is always fun for the client to treat themselves to a fresh, updated look when a new season rolls around.

Unique blends of chocolate shades with amber or cinnamon without too much red, taking these basic shades to the cool or warm side depending on the client skin tone, is popular now. We tailor the formula to suit whoever happens to be sitting in our chair, getting a different specialized and custom look for each client. Consideration is always made for your lifestyle. We just have to take a look at all the fashion magazines to see that many trendsetters are jumping on the brunette band wagon.

We are not about high maintenance, especially in today’s economy. We create colors that do not need a touch up every four weeks. We achieve this by often doing a deeper base with lighter ends which could be heavier or smaller sections and a combination of shades. Often a gloss is added to the remaining hair to accentuate shine. Our bottom line is to do what the customer needs to at a reasonable price.

Thank you for making our 2009 Holiday party a great success!

Last Friday, December 18, we had our fifth annual holiday party and benefit silent auction at the Hard Rock Cafe. The event was a great success! Thank you to all who attended and donated, as well as the many local businesses who provided goods and services for the silent auction.

This year’s event was able to donate 78,610 meals for the hungry in Chicago and the rest of the US. Over the last five years you have helped us donate 364,610 meals through our annual benefits and weekly donation programs.

Do you have any photos/videos that you took during the benefit? If so, we’d love to see them. Email them to us at info@xexchicago.com!
