30 Days of Shopping: Salon Red

Posted in Retail & Restaurants, tagged #30daysofshopping on November 4, 2015 | Leave a Comment »

30 Days of Shopping in Decatur this November: Jump-start your holiday spirit – and your holiday shopping – with local daily tips in November on The Decatur Minute. Click here to see previous days.

It was a very sad day when I walked into Salon Red and discovered that they no longer carry my beloved Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray (it’s still sold at the Candler Park location, but that’s sooooo far away). My devastation didn’t last long because I immediately spotted the salon’s Smith & Cult display. Best. Nail. Polish. Ever. I’m not exaggerating here. The formula is amazing and free of Dibutyl, Phthalate, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor, plus the color selection is second to none. So, if you have a You-Tube-make-up-tutorial-obsessed beauty guru in your life, head over to Salon Red for your holiday shopping. If you’re overwhelmed by the color choice, just pick at random because you can’t go wrong.

Tip: Receive a $25 gift certificate towards services with a purchase of 3 regular sized products every Terrific Thursday.

30 Days of Shopping in Decatur this November: Jump-start your holiday spirit – and your holiday shopping – with local daily tips in November on The Decatur Minute.

Have you skipped out on walking Fido for a few days to binge watch Game of Thrones? Or did you neglect Bella’s litter box because you were busy Pinteresting in the evenings after work? Then it’s time to make it up to your pets this holiday season by purchasing some goodies at Furry Tails. Stock up on Wee Huggles toys, all-natural grooming wipes, and organic cat treats. And if you really love your pet, make the switch to one of the many low-ingredient food options the shop carries. If you’re overwhelmed by the options, just ask one of the friendly folks behind the counter (it might be Anna, the shop’s owner) what they would recommend. Pet neglect guilt = gone.

Tip: Furry Tails will have a dog trainer in store every Terrific Thursday from 6 to 7 p.m.
