Between its exotic landscaping, gorgeous gardens, and enchanting artifacts, The Sacred Space provided an out-of-body experience. Members of our Design Team (Vince Smith, William Whatley, and Trent Day) truly felt they were in another world when they walked through the doors of this breathtaking location.

Surrounded by the beauty of nature, these pictures truly captured the atmosphere of this surreal day.

"It provided the perfect setting to showcase our naturally-derived products."

 The cover girl, Julia, was the proud work of Vince Smith. Using Raspbody Freeze, Vince set her hair with a 2 1/2" curling iron. After separating the waves with his fingers to create a loose, open feel, he finished Julia off with Shine+ Gloss Mist.

William Whatley used the cummulative keratin effect of Name This Stuff to create Kloey's straight look. To seal her hair with moisture and brilliant shine, he used Shine+ Gloss Mist.

"We knew we had to find a location that would reflect the company's eco-friendly philosophy."

Ultra+ Hold Hair Spray locked in texture and shine when Trent Day created this halo braid.

Name This Stuff and a 1/2" curling iron was used to create Julia's "very organic, very big open texture" look.

"Simply put, the word nutrient means to 'nourish', so it wasn't a stretch when chemist Chuck Frank named his hair care company All-Nutrient"

Cocktailing Raspbody Freeze and Shine+ Flat Iron Spray created perfect barrel-curls that could be brushed out into loose waves.
