Aveda's Tulasara Wedding Masque has arrived!

We are so excited to announce the arrival of the newest addition to Aveda’s Tulasara skincare line, the Wedding Masque. The Wedding Masque has been introduced to do the work that three of Aveda’s previous skincare lines did, all in one step.  Designed to help give you the glow that your skin has on your wedding day, the masque works overnight to help increase your skin’s radiance by enhancing the natural healing process that occurs in your skin through sleep.

Drawing from ancient Ayurvedic traditions, the Wedding Masque uses the aromas of organic jasmine, chamomile, and grapefruit oil, all known to help balance the skin, mind, body, and spirit. Plant stem cells, including cucuminoids - a key ingredient in tumeric - enhance the activity of skin cell energy centres helping to increase the natural healing and repair activity that happens in your skin at night. Over time, you will notice that your skin will be firmer and more lifted, discolouration caused by age/sun spots or hyper-pigmentation will be reduced, and your skin will be luminous and radiant.

The wedding masque is a one step addition to your night time routine - wash and tone as usual, and then apply the masque before bed. If you want more information about the Wedding Masque, feel free to speak with one of the talented aestheticians at our Geneva St. location about this phenomenal new product.

$2000 Raised for Community Care

As part of Storm's continuing efforts to give back to the community we serve, our St. Catharines and Fonthill locatons were able to raise $2000 to help our friends at Community Care of St. Catharines and Thorold this holiday season.

As so many of our friends and neighbours continue to struggle through financial hardships, we know how great the need in our community is for help - most notably at this time of year. Community Care has estimated that they will be providing assistance to over 11,000 people this season, with a great number of those being people under the age of 18. For more information about the work that Community Care does, please visit www.communitycarestca.ca.

Luca and Ian were proud to represent our incredibly generous clients when they presented this cheque this week, because we know that Storm clients are simply the best around! As always we are incredibly grateful to all of those who helped us raise these funds. This season is all about giving, and it's a great honour and privilege for us to help.

THANK YOU.

Storm 4 Jed Raises $15,000

Last spring our little friend Jed was involved in a serious lawnmower accident at his home. His injuries were severe and included the loss of one of his legs, resulting in the need for a prosthetic limb. When we heard Jed's story, we wanted to help him and his family.

Throughout the autumn months we collected donations at both our St. Catharines and Fonthill locations, set up a GoFundMe page, and hosted a Cut A Thon in October. We were also able to secure an incredibly generous donation of $5000 through our friends at Lina Linguini's and Fresco's Euro Grille in St. Catharines.

In total, we raised $15,000 for Jed and his family. We are so grateful for the absolutely overwhelming show of support from our incredibly generous clients, to our staff for donating their time and talent for the Cut A Thon, and to our friends at Fresco's and Lina's. This money will help Jed and his family manage the costs of travel and accommodation in Toronto while Jed continues his rehabilitation.

The Storm philosophy is all about giving back. We were pleased to be able to play a small role in helping the Seehagel family through this trying time. Jed has weathered his Storm with a smile and continuous optimism, and has been an inspiration to us all.

Once again, to all of those who helped - THANK YOU.

Shampure Dry Shampoo…

Shampure Dry Shampoo

The new Shampure Dry Shampoo is made up of 99.8% naturally derived ingredients, which means that unlike other dry shampoos, the formula is suitable for the most sensitive of scalps. Based on a blend of natural powders from Cassava and Oat, the product helps to absorb excess oil and impurities on the hair fibres to leave your hair feeling clean, healthy and fresh. With a calming aroma comprising of 25 pure flower and plant essences, including Organic Bergamot, Lavender, Lemon, Petitgrain and Ylang Ylang, the dry shampoo really is a treat to use; helping to balance your mind when you’re stressed out and busy!

A Unique Feature...

Traditional dry shampoos are aerosol based which can cause irritation in asthma sufferers and people with breathing difficulties. Aveda’s new Shampure Dry Shampoo is actually a propellant-free formula which mimics an aerosol but instead is powder based; this is not only better for your lungs, but does not contribute to air pollution, and means that you can carry it on board with you when you travel!

With its unique blend of natural and organic ingredients, the new Shampure Dry Shampoo helps to instantly invigorate and revive your hair when you need it most. It can be used to help extend a blow dry, refresh your hair in the morning or after a workout and give your hair the much needed va-va-voom before a night out or special event!

How to dry shampoo...

Tip the bottle upside down and return to its upright position. Turn the cap to expose the nozzle.

Lightly squeeze the bottle to puff the powder at your roots. (Be careful not to squeeze too hard otherwise you will be covered in dry shampoo! It is much easier to build-up rather than remove.) You can tip the bottle as you need in order to increase the powder flow.

Massage the powder into your scalp and style as normal. Make sure to massage in properly to ensure that the powder is evenly distributed throughout your hair.

*NEW* SMOOTH INFUSION NOURISHING STYLING CREME

Smooth Infusion’s latest launch is a styling crème that nourishes hair and helps fight frizz in intense humidity. Unlike other products in the Smooth Infusion line, this crème is for both curly and straight-haired clients. 

The hair can be air-dried or blow-dried to keep loose waves, but regardless of your hair texture it will keep your style smooth all day. The key botanical ingredient is certified organic cupuacu butter, it acts as a barrier to protect against moisture loss. 

The cupuacu is sourced from trees native to the Amazon it grows symbiotically with other trees and crops, which makes it ideal for agroforestry systems that help reforest clear-cut lands and replenish nutrients to the soil.

For best results apply to towel-dried hair—less is more with this crème so start with less then a dime-size amount for medium-length hair and work in more if necessary. Heat is not required and your hair can air-dry if desired.
