If you’re looking for a spot to spiff yourself up for a special summer soiree,Tula Organic Salon might be just the place to add to your “summer fun” agenda. Friends and co-workers Emily Askin and Becky Spitler opened their environmentally-friendly Murray Avenue salon in 2012. With sustainably sourced Aveda products, an interior full of upcycled Construction Junction finds (the front desk is made out of a giant door and metal bleachers from a high school stadium, and the salon mirrors are framed with salvaged barn wood), wind-powered website hosting, and even recycled business cards, Tula is seriously committed to its sustainability goals. But the salon doesn’t take itself too seriously. In fact, one way that Tula puts the “fun” in “summer fun” is through its Blow Dry Bar: a pick-me-up for hair where you can choose from a spicy, pun-irific menu of options including “Cayenne You Take It?” (a style that features loose curls),“Thyme-less” (which is sleek and smooth), or “Salt of the Earth” (a straight style with body).According to Spitler, the purpose of a blow dry bar is to give clients that “I Just Went To The Salon” look without necessitating a haircut. “We have groups of women who come in to get ready for a night on the town,” she said.“Or you can also come in by yourself if just you want to look a little more put together and polished.” If you’re on the way to other types of summer fun – going to a wedding, an event, or the beach, for example – Tula also offers a wide variety of salon and spa services to give you an extra beauty boost. After all, according to Askin:“It’s not all about how you look. But how you look does affect the way that you feel!” R
