Mouton's Salon: Color Code

Modern Salon Collections

Once again, Mouton's Salon as part of the JL Global Media Group has done some outstanding work.

ModernSalon.com has listed our Color Code Collection as one of the year end collections of note for 2009.

This is the "behind the scenes" look of the model that made it into the collection.

Anniversaries

It has been brought to our attention that we forgot to celebrate 2 anniversaries recently.
Linda just completed 9 years with us as our aesthitician. Linda has been with us through all of our growth these last few years and was with us when we experienced some of our trying times. Linda, thanks for your loyalty and your dependability. We appreciate these qualities in you.
Also to acknowledge is Lindsay's last three years with us. She started as a front desk team member, went to school and has quickly become a great strength within our organization. She has participated in our trend releases, been involved in our local photo shoots, helped to represent us in NY at Intercoiffure and is currently, actively involved in Mouton's first choice of outreach for 2010, Revive Africa. http://www.reviveafrica.com/ (LOOK FOR UPCOMING POST ABOUT THIS)
Thanks to both Linda and Lindsay for their dedication to working hard.

Thanks

Several people have asked (including those of you who gave), how much money we raised for our charity of choice, the PKD Foundation. As you can see in the post below, we fielded 4 5-person relay teams, 1 half-marathoner and 1 marathoner in last Sunday's White Rock Marathon. Although the run is officially to benefit primarily the Scottish Rite Hospital, www.tsrhc.org, our select group ran for the PKD Foundation. www.pkdcure.org We had raised over $1800 dollars by race time, thanks to all our customers and our staff, who contributed tip money and paid for the privilege to wear jeans on select days, with the money going into the PKD jar. Because we wanted to raise at least $2000 for the foundation, those who wanted to, wore our race t-shirts and everyone wore jeans and paid for the privilege to wear our non-uniform look. Thanks to this last ditch effort of all our staff, we officially raised over $2000 for the PKD Foundation. This was for you, Nancy!
Check us out on FaceBook to see some of our latest pics from today.

Thanks to all involved.

White Rock Marathon

On Sunday, a great portion of our Mouton's Salon team participated in the White Rock Marathon which has taken place for the last 40 years in Dallas. http://www.runtherock.com/ This year the race started and finished at the American Airlines Center, while the course continued through downtown and Uptown Dallas, Highland Park, around White Rock Lake, Lakewood and portions of East Dallas. In running, our team raised funds for the PKD Foundation, in honor of one of our customers, who has been diagnosed with the disease. http://www.pkdcure.org/ This year's race allowed for relay teams in addition to the full and half marathon. Mouton's Salon was able to field 4 different 5 person relay teams that ran the entire race, plus our very own Tracy T, who ran the entire 26.2 miles to complete the course. In addition, Ashton P's husband, Justin ran and finished the half marathon on the behalf of Mouton's as well. Because of schedule conflicts and health related issues not all of our team was able to actually run, but even those who didn't run came down the the AAC to support the rest of us. Ashton P, Leslie S and her son and Tiffany M were on hand to cheer us all on. Tiffany also lent her son, Kyle, to help complete one of the relay teams. In addition to Kyle, we also had Robert's wife and brother-in-law, Ashley's husband and friend, Jessica W's friend and two of Carlyn's friends who assisted us. Rounding out the teams were two of Ali's friends as well. From Mouton's - Tracy, Carlyn, Robert, Kellie, Ashley, Sherri, Jennifer,Ali, Bruce and Teresa all competed in the race. Great job, everyone. All of you who joined us as "conscripted volunteers" - thank you as well.

Holiday Celebration

We recently celebrated our team and the holiday season at The Vault Restaurant in Fort Worth www.thevaultdfw.com . We had a great time and are including just a few of the photos of the event.

Those of you who are regular guests of Mouton's Salon, will want to help me congratulate Lauren on her recent retirement. As you may know, Lauren is expecting her second baby and has made the decision to stay home after the birth and be a full-time Mom. Lauren has been with Mouton's Salon for 9 years and we will miss her greatly. Lauren, thank you for all that you have done for the growth of our company over the last 9 years. May you be richly blessed in your next endeavor as a stay-at-home Mom.
