There is nothing like the prospect of learning something new that really gets my blood going and my imagination working!
Our quarterly education is coming up and I can't wait! Redken Artist Ellen Lawlor will be spending the day with us working on "classic cutting". You know....the classic shapes that have defined fashion history and are still influencing fashion today. Very precise, geometric shapes that require each section of the cut to be absolutely perfect.
Can't wait!!

Hi All!
I just wanted to give a shout out to our awesome guest service team. We just spent the entire day together learning how to increase our level of customer service and I have to say we are all so excited to get back into the salon and implement some of the great ideas we got from this class today.
Our guest service team is one of the most caring that I have ever come across in this industry. I am truly blessed personally to know each one. As for laus Deo as a whole we can't thank them enough for going above and beyond each day to care for each and every guest that comes into the salon with a genuine and sincere desire to serve and make your experience memorable!
Thanks ladies!

The following is a special note of personal thanks from the Petrie Family and very special thanks from the team at laus Deo to all of you who came out in support of the Cut-a-thon last week!
Hello Dear Friends & Family!! The Petries would like to send out a BIG thank you to all that participated in the Cut-A-Thon for our family. We are so grateful for all the hard work and effort that went into putting this event together. Many hours of coordinating, promoting, volunteered hours of cutting hair and the beautiful donations given to the raffle. We are also very grateful for the many people that were able to attend and those that weren't but were still generous in giving as well. It was so wonderful to be out and about at both places and see the faces of such amazing friends. We felt so much love and support!! The words "thank you" seem to fall so short of the true overwhelming emotion that we feel towards all of you. We feel so blessed and pray that all of you will in turn be blessed for your kindness. We could never have walked this journey without the prayers and encouragement that all of you poured out so richly into our family and this was truly just above and beyond anything that we could have ever imagined. The money raised that evening from both salons was the exact amount that our insurance company is not going to cover. The Lord works out every detail of our lives......even in this too!! We humbly thank you all for helping us. THANKS!! Sincerely,The Petrie Family

What an amazing class we had this afternoon. Our team learned about Pureology's entire line of color safe haircare products.
Did you know that Pureology is only 9 years old? In such a short period of time they have become the #1 color haircare brand in the U.S.A., and is now a global product as of January 2009. To name a few of Pureology's wonderful benefits, they are known for pioneering their sulfate-free, salt-free shampoos that help ensure longer lasting color with radiance, brilliance and vibrancy. Pureology is proud to say that they use the top 5 most powerful antioxidants known. Blueberry, pomegrante, acai berry, apple and wine. All 5 are not only yummy but pack a powerful punch to benefiting your hair and haircolor. Sounds like a tasty treat for our over worked hair. Who would of thought of the importance of not only feeding our bodies with nutrious foods but feeding our hair as well. Luckily Pureology has that covered.
I am jazzed up for our Pureology launch. Stay tuned to find out when!
- blessed & grateful heart

I am so excited for our upcoming education class. We will be polishing up on Purelogy. A wonderful haircare line that is known for amazing benefits.
They use 0nly vegan ingredeints, which are free of harsh colour-stripping sulfates and salts. Let's face it, there is nothing more dissapointing then walking out of the salon with beautiful shiny hair and then before you know it your hair color has started to fade because of a harsh shampoo and conditoner we used at home. Being a zero sulfate shampoo line there is no worries about your haircolor fading as fast as Ohio's summers.
With the importance of taking care of our beautiful planet, Pureology is proud to use post-consumer recycled and recyclable packaging.
For all you animal lovers out there you will be warm and fuzzy knowing that Pureology is against animal cruelty.
Stay tuned to hear more about the benefits of Pureology and when we will be launching it in the salon.
- blessed & grateful heart

If anyone had peeked into the salon this past Monday you would have gotten a cool view of what goes on at a photo shoot! The energy was high, the models were great and the entire team including our photographer, wardrobe artist and makeup artists did an AMAZING job!
A very special thanks also to DO Summers Dry Cleaning who allowed us to use their space for the shoot. They went above and beyond!
Our team was pumped with creativity and as I looked around the salon at everyone so focused and working hard to create their vision, I was reminded again of what a great career we all have! Working with such a dedicated team of people, doing what we love to do and capturing amazing moments in photos...what more could we ask for??!
Stay tuned to our website and facebook to check out the pics once they are posted!

I'm sure I am not alone in feeling like some days are just harder to get through than others!
One of those days when time stands still and you feel like it will never end. How do you get through and come out on the other end with blessings to share, a refreshed spirit and feeling ready to take on a new day?
The amazing thing about what we do in the salon is that each day is at the same time completely different and yet entirely the same! Every day we take care of guests and provide service and skill to the best of our ability. Because we see different people each day it is always new and different! Maybe many of you don't realize how you have blessed our day so I wanted to share and give a special thank you to all of our guests.
When we feel tired and don't have quite enough energy to get through...it's you, our guest that helps to keep us going! Knowing that we are lifting your spirits by giving you great looking hair and a positive experience is what drives us.
I guess what I am saying is this...what helps is remembering that it is not really about me at all! It's about making someone else's day great and you know...when it's over, I can look back with a smile and say "Hey - it was an awesome day today!"

I wanted to take a moment today to congratulate one of our artists. Leah has just been promoted to Principle Artist! Anyone that has met Leah finds her enthusiasm contagious and her passion for learning inexhaustible!
She has been with laus Deo for about 2 years. She started her career with us after she graduated from the Paul Mitchell Academy. Realizing the importance of education early on Leah was a perfect candidate for our Associate Program. During that time and since she has always maintained a positive attitude and contributes not only her talents but fresh and innovative ideas.
laus Deo certainly wouldn't be the same without her and I for one an so thankful that she is a part of our team.
Congrats Leah! You are a blessing to all of us!
