Happy Fall Y’all!
We love all of the shifts in color that we see on the trees, fashion and decor. Warm tones that remind you of your favorite coffee drink or autumn leaves…… all great inspiration for hair color changes. What are your favorite activities that you look forward to during this Autumn season? Hiking, pumpkin patches, bonfires?
We have only a few Fall announcements, one being our annual price increase and two is a warm introduction to our current New Talent Team Members. AND a special shout out at the end to Madison on her upcoming promotion from New Talent to full time Stylist!
Price Increase
Every few years we implement a price increase. This happens after we analyze inflation costs on all of the supplies needed to offer the services that we do, along with the increase in costs to offer the benefits that we do for our team. This year we will have an increase across the board on all services including our New Talent Services, Intermediate Stylist and Senior Stylist services. This increase will take place on 10/15/21, with haircuts increasing by $5 and color/chemical services increasing by $10-$30 (cost depending on the amount of product used and time needed). We always like to offer this information to our guests for planning and budgeting through sources like this as well as conversations in the salon. Do not hesitate to speak with your regular stylists about all of options that we offer.

Spotlight on our New Talent Team Members
We would love to take a little time to talk about our New Talent Training systems and Team Members. At Royale we have an advanced training program that every team member goes through for 6 months to a year. In that time they complete all of our Skillset 1 training including: advanced formulations, modern coloring techniques like balayage, corrective coloring, precision cutting as well as more creative cutting options like razor cutting and cutting curly hair, and more. They take the classes online, practice at home and in the salon and receive mentoring from our senior team members. During this development of their advanced skills, we offer their services at a lower price point. What is great about this is that we can offer an open learning environment as well as budget conscious offerings to our clientele. We currently have two New Talent Team Members, Haven Fulk and Gracie Rosebloom.
Haven Fulk is a beaming light of creativity. She excels at connecting with all clients in such a warm and welcoming way. She has been at the salon now for over 5 months and has created so many beautiful looks for clients in that time. She has completed courses including Haircutting with Shears, Deva Cuts, Clipper Cuts and Fades, Foil Highlighting, Balayage, and Advanced Formulations.
Gracie Rosebloom is the newest to Royale and to Bloomington. She has been here for 3months and has just finished her Advanced Formulations and Color Applications courses. She is currently taking our advanced cutting courses and creating such beautiful work. She is a natural at styling and finishing hair and a true natural at haircutting. Gracie does a great job at connecting with guests through assisting senior team members, performing gloss and single color services and blowouts. Though she is our newest, she inspires us all through her kind nature and her super cute sense of style.

Stylist Focus
Speaking of our New Talent Program……… announcement, drum roll…….
Madison is moving up from our New Talent Program to a full time stylist! Madison came to us as our first new hire after reopening after the pandemic shut down. She has worked so hard over this past year as we rebuilt our training systems and it has been awesome to watch her bloom. She is so creative, excelling in all things haircolor and has a special added interest in modern perming. Her haircutting skills have really accelerated over the past 6 months with a true passion for razor cutting, shags, and curly hair cutting. Congrats Madison!

Things to Come
As we head into the holiday season Steph and I are excited to be planning our time over the Thanksgiving Holiday. The salon will be closed 11/25-11/29 for us to do a mini remodel. The team will have lots of time to rest and be creative and Steph and I plan on being immersed in our own creativity through this project. We recently gave up our second space in the Wicks Building to downsize a bit to focus on the needs of the team for sustainability and long term growth. We are excited for new neighbors in the space(Bloomington Yoga Collective opening 10/11!!!) and to give the salon space this mini lift. We can’t wait to share the new look!
Speaking of the holidays, we are already booking into December so click on the link to book now to secure your spot. Sorry clients of mine(Bridgett’s), because of my limited schedule and not taking new clients, I do not offer online booking for my time. Also as of the start of the year my schedule is shifting to seeing client’s only on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Please reach out for a referral on other days of the week.
Thanks for all of your continued support. Happy Fall!
