Warm Up With Eclektica This Season

If you’re planning to attend the Briarcliff holiday lighting, here’s another place to stop and get warm. Eclektica salon will feature a hot cocoa bar during the event on Sunday, Nov. 18, for families who want to break from the brisk air and enjoy a little treat. The salon will be giving away complimentary cocoa with a variety of toppings, as well as a warm and cozy place to hang out and wait for the laser show to begin.

In addition, your kids will love the entertainment provided by magician Todd Lamanske. Combining magic tricks with comedy and family-centered fun, Todd will perform at the salon on Sunday from 6:45-7:45 p.m.

Then after the lighting, the holidays really begin. And Eclektica is turning up the heat with a huge gift for one lucky winner. Register to win a Kindle Fire 2 between now and Dec. 31, when you purchase 2 or more L’Oreal Professional hair products from the salon. Entries will be accepted through the end of the day on the 31st, and the winner will be announced at the beginning of the New Year. Stay tuned for further details, or contact Eclektica Salon for complete rules and regulations.

Eclektica is accepting new clients now, so if you’re looking for that perfect holiday ‘do, call us to book your appointment at (816) 587-4159.

Cutting Hair, Cutting Price

Summer highlights have faded. Color’s bleached by sun and chlorine. And that cute, breezy haircut you got in June? Well, it’s drooping like the leaves on the trees. If any of this sounds familiar, you may be suffering from September Hair. The remedy? A trip to Eclektica Salon for a glorious new fall look. Stat.

Here’s the good news. If you’ve overspent your budget sending kids to camp or taking a family vacation, Eclektica is offering special discounts this month for both men and women. And if your schedule has suddenly gotten busier with after-school sports and cheerleading practice, Eclektica’s got an answer to that, too. Come in during the week, maybe on your lunch break, and take some much-needed time for yourself. After all, as the weather gets colder, it’s important to look your best to feel your best.

Ladies Who Lunch offers $10 off your choice of a cut/style or color/highlight. It’s good anytime before 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, so take that break from the office or the kids, and take advantage of extra savings. This discount is good only with a Level 1 stylist, so ask before making your appointment. (Generally, Level 1 means stylists who are newer to the salon, and therefore their rates are also lower.)

Men’s Express Cuts are $10 off Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. We know guys usually view haircuts as a chore, but an extra $1o off is something he’ll be happy about. This discount is good with a Level 1 or Level 2 stylist. So again, the special needs to be requested at the time of booking the appointment.

We hope to see every guy and gal in Kansas City looking spiffed up for fall by October. A new look for a new season. Eliminating September Hair, one appointment at a time.

Eclektica Expands Staff and Style

Eclektica Salon–so named for its international approach to hair–is growing both in numbers and diversity. The fashion-forward salon has added a new stylist to the books, with two more on the way this fall. In keeping with Eclektica’s cosmopolitan philosophy, the newest member of the team speaks multiple languages and has lived on two continents. She also possesses an innate sense of style that transcends cultural borders.

Fernanda Whittmer, associate stylist, was born and raised in Peru. After moving to Kansas City for her husband’s medical career–and giving birth to their son–she decided to follow her own passion and become a licensed cosmetologist. She began working in the business about a year ago, honing her skills with cut, color and highlighting. As an associate stylist, she is currently working under the direction of Eclektica’s owner, Carolina Coleman, an expert in trend and technique.

In a matter of weeks, Fernanda will be accepting her own clients–a perfect opportunity to refer your friends and pick up that 20% discount for them and you. Fernanda is bilingual in Spanish and English, so if Spanish is your first language, she might be a great fit. And don’t forget–two more additions to the team will arrive this fall, meaning more artists to help you get that perfect look.

To book an appointment, call Eclektica at (816) 587-4159.

Helping Brides Find Their Style

Carolina Coleman has studied hair around the world: in Spain, Italy, Cuba and her native Mexico. In 2006, she opened Eclektica, the Salon at Briarcliff, giving Kansas City clients a sophisticated destination for style.

“Every client to me is a star,” says Carolina. “I always imagined a salon where stylists could contribute their talents and uniqueness, and together we could raise the bar.”

Raising the bar together is exactly what Eclektica does. The concept is indeed eclectic, embracing international trends and indeed treating clients like A-listers. And since every bride is a star on her wedding day, Eclektica is the perfect place to go for trends, insights, and that perfect look for you and your bridesmaids.Hair and makeup artists from Eclektica will be at the Briarcliff Village Bridal Fair to offer plenty of tips for brides-to-be. Learn about the latest trends, see demonstrations, and ask plenty of questions. You can even enter to win a free one-on-one consultation from Carolina and her artists, to help you prepare for the big day.

“To me, a good haircut starts with getting to know the client. Plus, taking into consideration the features so you can frame the face properly,” Carolina explains. “A haircut needs to be your signature.”

Find your beauty signature at the Bridal Show on Saturday, March 3, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
