The new colors are Black Cherry, Ancient AmberGolden Apricot and Gunmetal Gorgeous and will be paired with selections from Los Angeles designer Elaine Kim’s fall apparel range.


"The Elaine Kim fall fashion color palette is very bold, glamorous and empowering. We’ve created four dynamic hair colors that complement this season’s high fashion trends and support a green lifestyle at the same time," explains Susan Henry.


As a longtime eco advocate, I’m thrilled to collaborate with Susan Henry and don’t believe we need to give up fashion and luxury to save the world,” adds Elaine Kim.


Susan Henry is a veteran colorist, a passionate environmentalist, respected scientist and advocate of natural beauty techniques. Formerly of the famed Prive Hair Salon in Los Angeles and a protégé of Jose Eber, Susan Henry has served a roster of over 500 celebrity and Hollywood clients for over 30 years.

Today, the eponymous Elaine Kim line is available thru exclusive boutiques, the designer’s new eco-designed atelier located on trendy West 3rd Street in Los Angeles, and www.elainekim.com. Sculptural shapes and asymmetrical cuts are paired with the most beautiful, luxurious and eco-friendly fabrics like Cupro cotton, washed leather and natural silk. The brand has been featured in WWD, InStyle, Lucky, Los Angeles Magazine, JC Report and The Wall Street Journal, among others.


SHADES by Susan Henry is the first and only truly non-toxic hair salon in Beverly Hills salon. The sun-drenched space was designed with low VOC paints, environmentally conscioius design materials and opened just off Rodeo Drive just two years ago. The professionally trained staff offers all green services and treatments including the company’s own permanent color line, botanical scalp treatments, formaldehyde-free manicures, pedicures and beeswax threading.

JULY SHADES SPECIAL OFFER
SHADES Event

For the month of July SHADES is offering 15% off all threading. Threading is an ancient Indian technique that removes the hair at the follicle without pulling the skin, maintaining the skins elasticity while leaving the skin smooth and soft. A cotton thread is pulled along the hair in a twisting motion to trap the hair and lift it right out of the follicle. This is more sanitary and “green” than other hair removal treatments, since only the thread touches your skin and the only waste from threading is the cotton thread that is biodegradable.


STYLIST PROFILE: CLARISSA
SHADES Event

Specialty: Threading
Experience: She learned this ancient technique by watching it being performed on her mom! Clarissa has a very special eye, and shapes your eyebrows to accentuate and frame your face. Threading is a technique that takes time and patience to master Come in and try our Green Way to remove unwanted hair!
