OUR APOLOGIES FOR BEING M.I.A FOR A MINUTE. WITH THE NEW YEAR, WE'VE MADE SOME CHANGES. HERE'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO....

YAY FOR SNOW, NO LOVE FOR CHAPPED ASS LIPS, YO.

LAZY SUNDAYS GOT OLD, SO WE PREPPED OUR SKIN FOR THE COLD, HARSH AIR WITH FACE MOISTURIZER+SPF, AND LOTSA LIP BALM...AND WE HEADED TO THE SNOW.

OF COURSE

CHECK THE NEW DIGS!

PROGRESSION IS A POSITIVE WAY TO RING IN THE NEW YEAR. COME SEE US AT OUR NEW SALON: ALANKARA AVEDA CONCEPT SALON IN OLD TOWN LA QUINTA.

Greetings Ladies! Who wants in? TechniqColour is currently seeking some Around the Way Girls that want to join our cult- I mean posse of girly girls that care for the earth as much as we love mascara. Go on- get yourself a cute lil' beach cruiser, BMX, whatever. Pimp it out, customize it, make it your own! If you need tips on how-to's, best paint, primers, decals, etc. etc. we'd be glad to help. Roll around town in your 2 wheeled whip, reduce fuel emissions, and look mad cute while doing so.

Keep in mind- you burn about 100 calories for every half hour you ride. No complaints there.
