Love your Mother...Don't forget Mother's Day, which is Sunday May 9th. Both New Leaf and therapy boutique are great places to shop. Pick up Mom's favorite products (we can look them up in our system for you...no guessing necessary) or shop for something unique and stylish in the fabulously fun therapy boutique. If Mom loves to shop for herself (you know, the kind of mom who thinks shopping is a sport), pick up a gift card!

You should also love your mother earth too...Spring is here and April celebrates Earth Day. Everywhere you look, you read words like eco-chic, energy efficient and 'green'. It's all the rage, as it should be. 

Lots of clients are asking about this image in our window...

The number one question is..."Can I have that haircut?"

Followed by..."I love HER blonde. Can I have it?"

And finished up with..."Who IS she?"

The answers are: Maybe. Maybe. Alyssa Keating, faithful New Leaf-er for years.

Check out our behind the scenes photoshoot with our friends at Snap! Photography...

Our fab stylist Jamie Evenson setting Alyssa's fine blonde hair...

Jamie is from Wisconsin and came to New Leaf because, In her words, wanted to work at the best. Awww. The feeling is mutual, Jamie. She drives from Cranston every day, which to Rhode Island lifers is a day trip! Jamie is very 'green', driving her very gas efficient car to work every day. Experience one of her blow outs and you will be smitten.

Products used: B &b Styling Cream, Bumble Classic Hairspray and B &b brilliantine

Earth to Alyssa. Clients also ask, "What IS that thing?" It's called a CLIMAZON, which is a controlled heat source used for speeding up processing time, deep conditioners, drying perfect curls, and more. Curly clients wish they could have this thing at their house. Can you imagine bringing it home to your family?!? "But, sweetie, what do you MEAN it doesn't fit in the living room? It looks fine." :o)

Jamie wasn't torturing her, we swear.

Off to the make up chair with Amy G, where beauty happens.

Greens, golds and oh so natural. Amy G created this flawless canvas (her specialty) for Alyssa. She is just beautiful.

Amy used Smashbox's Heartbreaker collection. Dont' the blues, greens and browns remind you of the Greek Isles? Makes me want to go there right now...

We are insane for the lighting in this image. Alyssa was so versatile with her expressions--a perfect model. Did we mention it was 20 degrees in the solarium at Linden Place for this shot?

She's laughing even though she has no coat! Winter feels so long ago now...

Summer anyone?

We are SO ready for some s-u-n!

Call 401.254.9333 or book your appointment online now for a new spring look, some summery highlights and of course, to 'recycle' your old items in your make up bag with Amy G!

Thanks to Amy, Jamie, and Snap! for getting us in a blue sky frame of mind...
