We are honored to share with you the Gary Manuel Salon Earth Month Video. This video was commissioned by Aveda to showcase our fundraising efforts and was presented earlier this month to a global Aveda audience at headquarters in Minneapolis, MN. Get ready GMAI cause we are going to blow it out of the water this year! We hope this video inspires you. Earth Month 101

On February 7th, over 50 Gary Manuel Aveda Institute students packed into the hip Gary Manuel Studio in Belltown. Some exhausted from being at school all day, some were there on their day off, others were just getting off from work, however, they all had the same objective: they wanted to find out how they could take their career to the next level through Studio's advanced training program. The student guests were treated to live hair demos from Gary Manuel Studio alumni, as well as a variety of mini services, delicious hors d'oeuvres and refreshments. Co-Founder Gary Howse was on hand to answer questions and lead the future professionals on a spirited tour of the Salon and the Studio.
