Tulasara Moving Towards Balance: The Evolution of Aveda Skin Care

 

Tulasara Diva Salon Spa

Interview with MacKenzie Gartner Diva Spa Lead and Aveda Global Spa Ambassador by Amy B

Tell me about your history with Aveda and Diva.

 I have been an esthetician and massage therapist at Diva for ten years and an Aveda Certified Educator (ACE) with Aveda Canada for the past five years.

Tell me about being a spa lead at Diva and an educator for Aveda Canada.

I have passion and drive so I am inspired to share my knowledge and experience with my guests and fellow Aveda tribe members.  I teach classes in the Diva Training Centre as well as to other estheticians for Aveda Canada.

You recently travelled to Aveda Corp. headquarters in Minneapolis to train with other estheticians from around the world. Tell me more about that.

I was asked to join the Aveda Global Education Team and attend this special training. It is now my role to present this new information to other Aveda Network estheticians and attend all other spa education from Aveda Corp. going forward.

What did you enjoy most about this training?

I loved being in a room with incredible, like-minded Aveda Tribe members. I learned from and worked on my mentors, which was fun and inspiring.

We are expecting significant changes to Aveda Skin Care and the Signature Aveda Spa Services. What can you divulge about that?

There are many exciting changes launching soon. What I can say is there is an evolution of Aveda’s current “green technology” that combines “Art and Science” to elevate what nature gives us. Aveda calls it Tulasara meaning ‘moving towards balance.’ The skin care products and treatments combine a holistic approach with focus-driven customized facial design to deliver clinically proven results.  Aveda is focusing even more on its Ayurvedic roots to target the root causes of imbalance to help the skin strengthen and repair.

What will Aveda estheticians like about Tulasara?

Spa Therapists will be given new tools, products and service protocols to deliver the ultimate customization for every guest.

What will guests like about Tulasara?

The products are simplified and very user friendly. Guests will have at-home rituals to transport a portion of their facial treatment home to extend treatment benefits. These high-performing products are designed to target specific concerns and deliver noticeable results.

When will the new products be available?

Tulasara rolls out over the next 18 months though many new products will be available in late summer.

Congratulations MacKenzie on your new and exciting role as our Aveda Spa Ambassador!
