Were you among the thousands of San Diegans who attended Fashion Week San Diego (FWSD)?

If so, you saw our city’s extraordinary design talent come to life on the runway for hair, make-up, nails, accessories and…oh yes, those amazing clothes from 26 designer collections!

The whole multi-faceted event was just as much about celebrating the creative spirit of San Diego as it was about what the models were wearing.  Part of that spirit were the many local sponsors who stepped up to support Fashion Week San Diego … among them, the Gila Rut Aveda Salons.

20 Years and Growing Strong!
Jul 29, 2012

As we celebrate our 20th year in business, I am inspired to check in with all of you!

First and foremost, I cannot believe that I am old enough to have a business that is 20 years old!  But, I do and am so proud of the work we have done over these past two decades.

My journey (with my Mom) began in 1992 with a dream to open a salon (well, the dream was mine and I coerced Mom into tagging along).  I remember living in the Hillcrest area and watching the new shopping center being built from the ground up. I knew we were supposed to be there!

We would sit across the street and observe the structure being born. All the pieces fell into place July 14, 1992. Our 1000 square ft. salon was realized. We opened with a bang – full throttle, some may … Read More

Gila Rut hits New York Fashion Week 2011
Mar 07, 2011

Another successful trip to NYFW (fashion week) I’ll share the highlights & keep it short & sweet…………
What’s hot this season? Read on…
The clothing have a beautiful classic look with strong linear edges. It seemed most designers were inspired by the minimal. Beautifully hand crafted materials & soft tones of blue, red & gray were the hit this season.
The hair was classic. Ponytails, lopped ballerina buns & romantic curls all polished to perfection with the help of Aveda’s Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener & the hold of the Control Force hairspray.
The Make-Up was fresh & light with deep tones of peach for the cheeks. The lips were glossy with a hint of pink and for the eyes were a light shadow to give a ‘bright eyed’ look.
Stay tuned for your access to the next shows & fashion trends, coming fall of 2011
Besos,
Karla
