<\/a>They whetted our appetites right from the start with an attractive display at the check-in table that showcased the gifts to come, including Vitaphenol<\/strong> skin cleanser, Tote Pets <\/strong>mini tote bags with adorable little 3-D animals on them, and boxed samples of Eco-Me<\/strong> cleaning and pet products.<\/p>\nMost happily for us, this was the only suite to have beauty services, which were totally welcome after the hectic week, which, for me, included flying back from New York the night before the Emmys suites began in earnest. \u00a0( I, sadly, missed a couple that had happened earlier in the week.)<\/p>\n
Lucia and I spent time most of our time there with the stylists from the Tintura Salon<\/strong>, which has outposts in Claremont and Upland. \u00a0The ladies were the most pleasant salon personnel ever! \u00a0Tabitha and Trisha (who I now refer to as “TNT,”) flat-ironed my beginning-to-channel-Monica hair, and Susan gave us hand massages and treatments, which we really needed after gripping bags full of goodies all day!<\/p>\n Tintura is Hai’s rep and they got to bestow the musical styling tool on VIP guests, complete with a little “presenting”ceremony. \u00a0Of course, I took the occasion to thank the Academy. \u00a0But the music started playing me off…from my own Hai Stick!<\/p>\n<\/a>While my hair was being worked on, I kept hearing hip music close to my head. I could not imagine from whence it came, but it turned out to be from the flat-iron<\/em>!!! \u00a0They were using the Hai Stick<\/strong> that comes with a built-in MP3player! \u00a0What a brilliant idea to make a somewhat annoying task (for most of us,) more pleasant! \u00a0Loving it.<\/p>\n
