Ashka Salon Spa Giving Back

Giving Back

Part of Aveda’s mission is “give back to society”. This phrase has always struck a chord with me. I think it is super important to always be thinking of how we can be giving back, especially those less fortunate than you. Ashka Salon Spa has a very similar Core Value:

“Always uphold our integrity and contribute to the betterment of local and global community.”

Ashka Salon Spa is Giving Back Through Anchor of Hope

Ashka Salon Spa sees the importance of giving back in to our communities. Through their Community Giving Back Fund, Anchor of Hope, Ashka offers a 100% Give Back Policy. As long as you give us at least a 30 day notice, giftcards, goods, or services will be given to your event as long as you are local! Due to the frequency of inquiries of donation requests, we do ask that you abide by our donation requirements.

Giving Back at Forgotten Harvest

Owners, Steve and Lisa, volunteering at Forgotten Harvest

Steve and Lisa Curry, the owners of Ashka Salon Spa, recently volunteered at Forgotten Harvest in Fenton, Michigan. Forgotten Harvest’s mission is:

“We are dedicated to relieving hunger in metro Detroit and preventing nutritious food waste.”

They were established in 1990 to fight two problems: Hunger and Waste. What I think is so cool about Forgotten Harvest is the amount of opportunities they have to volunteer! For instance, Lisa was working in the kitchen  separating meals into bags to send out of shelters that they had gotten from restaurants that no longer fit in the guideline of “restaurant quality food”. By this I mean, even though they might not be able to sell it anymore, the food is still good and can provide nutrition to someone in need. Steve on the other hand was going through pounds of potatoes picking out rotten ones and separating the good ones to be used and sent out.

I think it is so important to attempt to give back to the world around you. I am so lucky to work for a company, both Aveda and Ashka Salon Spa, who believe that as well.

Until Next Time,

Josie 🙂

Father’s Day Gift Ideas at Ashka Salon Spa

Father's Day Gift Ideas

Father’s Day is around the corner, and approaching more rapidly than I’d like if I am being honest. I have yet to get the men in my life something for this special day! When I was thinking about what I could get my Dad, I was completely stumped. I realized that I cannot be the only person feeling this way! So, I decided to pull together a list of what I would consider to be the top 3 Father’s Day Gift Ideas at Ashka Salon Spa.

Josie’s Top 3 Father’s Day Gift Ideas at Ashka Salon Spa

Father's Day Gift Ideas
Father’s Day Gift Ideas
  1. Aveda Men’s Shampoo and Conditioner
    Everyone shampoo and conditions their hair, and if they aren’t they should be! Aveda’s Men’s aroma is one of my absolute favorite out of the whole company. The aroma’s key notes are certified organic spearmint, vetiver, and lavender. If your dad has been loving our new Men’s Grey Blending Color, you could always grab some Color Conserve for him too!
  2. Aveda Men’s Aftershave
    Aftershave is one of the most under appreciated skincare products in my opinion. With Aveda’s Aftershave, it helps with razor burn and moisturizes your skin. However, it also controls oil, making it good for all skin types! It has been dermatologist-tested as well.
  3. Ashka Salon Spa Gift Card
    When in doubt, a gift card is never a bad option as a gift. I know someone feel as though it is less personal to give a gift card, but I know that when I receive one, I am ecstatic about it! I love being able to pick out my own thing and just get exactly what I want or need. If you think your dad would have a hard time picking something out for himself, you can always recommend a spa service, such a massage or facial, with one of our amazing spa service providers.

I hope that this list makes your shopping trip just a little bit easier this year for Father’s Day! Stop in today for your last minute Father’s Day gift ideas!

Until Next Time,

Josie 🙂
