Weekending – Local Living October 26, 2015
Happy Monday. Seriously is this the last week in October? I haven’t even been to a pumpkin patch yet so I feel like it doesn’t count. We need a redo of this month or at least a pause right? It was an absolute gorgeous weekend here in Florida. I was so happy to be home. I got a lot of work done including a closet clean out and flip. Summer clothes away and Fall clothes are taking center stage. Now, the weather just needs to cooperate and stay cool. Lets get right into it. Linking up with my girl B.
My weekend started early on Friday with a day off. I had an appointment at my loca Aveda Level Salon in Hyde Park for a blow out. 
I hadn’t been to that salon in years and it has recently moved down to the first level of Hyde Park. Y’all, the salon is gorgeous. I felt like I had a mini spa retreat. 
Chelsea the manager walked me through the beautiful space. I had no idea they were a full service salon. You can get your nails done while your color sets. They have massage and facial rooms. Their esthetician is certified in bamboo massage which is the newest craze over hot stone.
Can I even talk about what an amazing job Nick did? It all started with my head and neck massage in the darkened relaxing shampoo room. After a deep conditioning treatment, Nick worked his magic and when he whipped me around for the big reveal, I was blown away. Seriously, movie star hair. 
Before I left, they touched me up with a complimentary makeup application. 
They sent me out with some goodies that I cannot wait to use at home including their smooth infusion line. 
Also, they have a brand new dry shampoo that I so excited to have it go head to head with my beloved regular and see how it measures up.
Local peeps. You have to try the salon out. I was blown away with it. I really liked how they separate out their stylists as well. You have your colorist and then if you need a cut and style you meet with someone else. I’ve found in the past that people are really good at one or the other and at the level Salon they take that guesswork out for you. I will 100% be back to see Nick especially if I have an event that I need gorgeous locks for. My hair is still going strong today. Glam hair for all my little kiddos today.
The rest of the weekend was spent watching football, cleaning and working. So glamorous I know. It is so nice to be home and have everything all squared away for the week to start. How was y’alls weekend? Do you switch out your closet for a new season?
Have you tried the Aveda dry shampoo yet? I am giving away to two of my Meet at the Barre readers a bottle of the dry shampoo to have!

I’m obsessed with your hair!! The place I go in China is similar too in that they have a colorist and a stylist, etc. TBH it just makes the experience so much fancier for me ;) haha.
Heyyyyy hottie! I have always wanted a reason to get a blowout, and yet never done it! They are super cheap here, so I’m thinking of trying one out next week for no other reason than I want to ;) Your hair looks amazing! xo
Um bamboo massage? Yes pleas! Ok, who am I kidding, I’d take any massage right now, I haven’t had one in forever. And your blow out looks awesome girl! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
I’ve been to an Aveda Spa in London and they’re so luxurious I love it. The dry shampoo sounds great! x

Wow, talk about an amazing lil spa day. The salon is gorgeous and your blow out looks amazing! You reminded me I’m way over due for a massage, thanks, lady! Happy monday!
Your hair looks amazing! Relaxing and productive weekends are the best, it’s so nice to start off Monday caught up on everything!
Love when you find a Salon that just knocks it out of the park like that! Your hair looked great!!! I could always go for a head massage lol! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Your snap of your hair looked fab! They did a great job–beautiful! :)
I’ve never tried that dry shampoo but looking forward to looking more into it. I’m like the dry shampoo queen lately! It’s just so easy haha.. Xo
I’m jealous!! I want to go get a blowout RIGHT NOW!
my salon uses aveda products exclusively and i love their scents! i don’t use dry shampoo but i know a lot who do and love them.
We have Aveda near me, but I’ve never been before. I love that it’s a full service spa! Instead of separate trips to get my hair cut or my nails done, I could do it all in one stop!
I know we already talked about this, but Aveda can do no wrong in my book! Even their makeup is chemical free and smells amazing.
Your hair looks like it’s been kissed by an angel. Haha! Seriously. Gorgeous. I haven’t tried Aveda, but I’m definitely curious.
That place looks so nice! And your hair is amazing!!
Gorgeous hair!! I know I’m a hairstylist, but I’m totally craving a trip to the salon to get a blowout! I love being pampered and getting my hair done!
Get yourself to a pumpkin patch this week, woman! ;)
your hair looks fabulous! and that spa sounds great, I may go for haircuts/colors just for the head/neck massages ;-) hope you had a great weekend!
Your hair looks stunning! What a fun way to spend an afternoon. Entered for the dry shampoo. :)
Your hair looks great! Nothing like a good blow out!
What an awesome salon! So fancy! I don’t think I’d ever want to leave the darkened relaxing shampoo room!
Love Aveda!
That looks like a great salon! Your hair looks fabulous!
Your hair looks fabulous! What a fun little trip to the spa and a massage sounds amazing right about. I love trying different dry shampoos but haven’t trie to the Aveda on yet.
That salon is beautiful! Love your hair, too!

your hair looks absolutely gorgeous!! and so fun, i love getting blowouts!
That salon looks fabulous!! I love your outfit that day and your hair is just perfection! It has been awhile since I have used Aveda stuff, I will have to check them out.
I haven’t been a pumpkin patch yet, either, so I feel the same way. Surely it’s still September…;)
Aveda is where it’s at! We got our hair and makeup done at a store in Ohio for my best friend’s wedding and it was the best service.
I love my Aveda salon, I’ve gotten pretty much everything done there except for a mani/pedi..that’s next. Your hair looks fab and how nice that they gave you goodies. The “refreshing touch” at the end is my favorite part, such a cute little perk!
There’s nothing better than a great blowout and feeling fancy before going off to do something fun. Your hair came out amazing <3

The salon sounds awesome and your hair is Gorg!! I have no refresh my angles soon and get a trim. I am way overdue! I’m trying to grow it out so that I can donate it in the Spring.
oooooh hey gorgeous hair! it looks fabulous, and that salon looks so fancy.
I love Aveda! You look great!
GORGEOUS hair lady!! I could totally go for a blowout + mani right now ;)
Gorgeous! Your hair looks so good!

Seriously… I cannot believe Halloween is this weekend (and FL/GA). This is the first year ever that I don’t have a clue what I’m dressing up as, if anything!! Busy life…you win. That salon looks amazing!! I wish I lived closer to Hyde Park :(
Your hair looks amazing, and that salon sounds fabulous!
That salon looks amazing!! You look gorgeous too, your hair is fab! Nick’s hair is also pretty fantastic too. :-)
I definitely need to visit that salon! Your hair looks gorgeous! I could use some pampering lol.
He did a GREAT job on your hair! Love it! What IS a bamboo massage??? I’m intrigued!
I absolutely love Aveda, glad you tried it!!! I love their make up products, since they are on the more natural side. Their dry remedy conditioner is the best (specially for thick hair) and their skincare (Botanicals) smell delicious! I think everybody should try this place!
Your hair looks gorgeous! I always love Aveda salons because they do an amazing job and their products are fantastic!
Love following you on snapchat, especially on the weekend! The blowout was GORGEOUS, our aveda isn’t near that nice last time I checked it out. Maybe I should try it again!

Aveda salons seriously have the BEST HAIR WASHING. I know that sounds weird, but in college I used to drive 6 hours for highlights + an aveda hair washing. (And to see friends…. lol) so glad they treated you so well!! ;)
Look at you! Love the hair! I’ve never had a blowout at a salon before but I’ve always heard great things!
