Can it Be?

Can it be? Is it really going to be April Fool’s Day tomorrow?

I’m updating, looking up at the soaring red rocks of Sedona, from my casita at the Enchantment resort. Majestic and magical, these natural wonders are indeed a sight to behold.

Now, many of you who know me know I’m far more a city boy . . . so for me to be preparing for a hike on the nature trails, with Dennis Andres from “Spirit of Sedona” is very different . . . and very exciting!

I’m here in Sedona attending a Golden Circle Gathering . . . A “Busting Loose” group that’s looking at innovative, “mind-blowing” strategies for supporting our team, our customers and our business. Surrounded by brilliant minds and an abundance of interaction, this is the shot in the arm that one needs in confusing times like these . . . re-ignighting passion around the wonderful world of business and the beauty industry!

Following this I’ll be attending a “Phase 2 Players” retreat at the Poco Diablo Resort in Sedona, where “phase 2 players” from all over the world will gather for a weekend of coaching and innovative idea exchanges . . . I won’t take up a lot of space here to explain . . . watch for my upcoming “adventure” blog, soon to be up at www.phase2terry.com . . .

On to business, what’s going on at NUOVO you ask? Several of the NUOVO Team recently attended a razor cutting seminar by Gerard Scarpaci, Artistic Director at the AVEDA Institute, New York City . . . It’s safe to say that this seminar was nothing short of amazing, with all of us walking away with equal parts of knowledge and excitement! . . . Bravo Gerard! . . .

April will be a busy month at NUOVO . . . April is Earth Month . . . and many of us (Team NUOVO) will be walking in support of clean water projects by Global GreenGrants. Please consider making a pledge to support your favorite “walker”. Yours truly will be there with “Paint” and “Pi”, my two youngest schnauzers . . . (if they promise to behave themselves!)

Organic French lavender, “Light the Way” candles are available at all NUOVO locations, specially priced at only $10, with 100% of the proceeds going to support Global GreenGrants.

Stay tuned for more information on how to pledge/support this worthy cause . . . Perhaps you’d even consider walking with us!

AVEDA is launching some very exciting new products! Embrightenment is a new line of skin care that addresses the challenges of any “dark clouds” you may be experiencing in the skin arena; check it out with Dee or Dena, our amazing estheticians.

We’re also very excited about the arrival of AVEDA’s Sun Care line . . . products formulated to summer-proof your hair from sun, salt and chlorine damage! . . . coming soon . . .

And speaking of summer . . .”frizzies” beware! . . . It’s time to make your Keratin Protein Complex smoothing treatment appointment . . . insuring smoother days for summer. For those of you who aren’t familiar with this revolutionary treatment, and find yourself “texture challenged”, make an appointment with one of our stylists for a complimentary consultation.

In closing this update, I’d like to express sincere appreciation for all the support so many of you have shown us through some rather trying times: The loss of James’ mother, Mimi, and his need to be with his family during some very important weeks, thank you all for being so very supportive . . . And special KUDOS to our Team (with a capital “T”) who stepped up to the plate without hesitation.

Also, the transition of my beloved little Jake (my 14 yo schnauzer, “Dweezil’s little brother”) . . . on to his adventure in Infinite Land! . . .

All for now . . .
