If you've ever stopped in to Kairos Children's Boutique and hung out long enough for coffee (she has the best coffee on the block by the way) you've probably met Heather of Five 60 Salon as well. Her salon is next door and often the store owners on that block can be seen hanging out in the sun at the little table in front of Carla's. Or when it's cold huddled in front of the heaters inside. I'm telling you, Carla's is the go to place for coffee. The girl should sell the stuff.
A few weeks ago as Carla and I were warming our hands by the heaters and sipping our coffee Heather popped her head in and said she had an idea she wanted to run by me. She wanted to do Valentine makeovers with mini sessions to document the beautiful women we have in our town and to celebrate local artists through the VBC Arts, Hearts and Tarts promotion. I was all over it.
So if you're needing a mom's day of pampering and a Valentine's Day gift for the hubby, give the salon a call and they'll fit you in. Our first day of makeovers will be on Sunday, February 1, 2009. Another day is scheduled for Sunday, February 22, 2009. Sessions are limited so give them a call today!
FIVE 60 SALON & SPA GLAMS UP VALENTINE’S DAY
Salon taking part in VCB Arts, Hearts & Tarts promotion
Grand Junction, CO (Jan. 21, 2009) - Five 60 Salon & Spa has found the perfect gift idea for everyone’s Valentine… you! In a tasteful glamour shot. For two days, Sunday, Feb. 1 and Sunday, Feb. 22, the hair and makeup artists at Five 60 Salon & Spa will partner with local photographer Cristine Strickland to offer personal photo shoots. The salon is participating in the Grand Junction Visitor & Convention Bureau’s (VCB) annual Arts, Hearts & Tarts promotion which runs through the month of February and highlights the cultural attractions of the city.
“We thought a tasteful glamour shot would make a great Valentine’s Day gift for someone else while pampering yourself with a hair style and make up session,” said salon Owner Heather Heinbaugh. “And by partnering with Cristine, who is an incredibly talented photographer, people will get very natural and fun photographs instead of the typical glamour shot.” While the salon’s participation is unusual since the focus of the promotion is on culture, including art, music and cuisine, Heinbaugh insists, “Great hair, make up and photography IS art!”
Hair, make up and photo shoots will take place at Five 60 Salon & Spa, located at 560 Colorado Avenue in Downtown Grand Junction. The basic glamour shot package for one person is $200 and includes professional hair style, make up, photo shoot, one 8 x 10 photograph, and coupon for discounted professional framing of the photo at Frameworks & Gallery. Larger and multiple-person packages are also available. Appointments are limited and must be booked in advance.
This is the second year for the Arts, Hearts & Tarts promotion, a special month-long event designed to celebrate local artistic, musical and theatrical offerings. Throughout February the VCB will be promoting special events, concerts, shows and other cultural activities to draw residents and tourists into Grand Junction’s cultural charms and retail shops. For additional information about the promotion, please contact Jennifer Grossheim-Harris, marketing and public relations coordinator for the VCB, at 970.256.4063.
Five 60 Salon & Spa was started in 2005 by Heinbaugh and currently employs five stylists offering a variety of services, including: hair design, color and treatments, waxing and nail services and massage therapy with Certified Massage Therapist Olivia Anson-Buckley. For additional information about the Glamour Shot promotion or Five 60 Salon & Spa, please contact Leigh Ashman, marketing director, at 970.263.4551 or 970.260.7002.
Several weeks before Christmas I had the privilege of photographing Heather and her son Mason inside her salon for their annual holiday cards. We had a beautiful fun filled session that was full of crazy boy antics. That boy cracked me up. You could obviously see the bond the two of them share as they kidded around for the camera.
