Von Kekel in North Hills is one of the Aveda salon and spas in Raleigh. When you walk in you see all the Aveda products they sell which are also found in some of their Aveda stores. The name Aveda is short for ayurveda which means life +science. And Von Kekel is named after the salon and spa owner.

I was getting my haircut there for the first time. My hair stylist was Katey. There are two of them named Katie there that share the same station on different days but my hair stylist had short to medium brown hair. Her name is spelled with a “y”.

I came back from getting my hair cut at Peles Salon off Creedmoor across from Outback Steakhouse. And in my office, my husband just came by and razzed me about writing with cheddar cheese in my teeth left over from my lunch I just woofed down. What can I say? Us bloggers are too bu-ssssy to notice every moment of the day what we look like.

So where was I? Oh yeah, Pe-les Salon. I was referred to Peles from the Aveda store. They are a Raleigh Aveda salon. I was told to go see Kaitlin. And that’s who I saw. She’s young, from Buffalo New York, got long dark straight hair, and is super tan…in the winter. Year round from her Northern Italian roots, she mentioned. She’s very bubbly and easy to talk with. We seem to hit it off as this was my first time there. It’s important to be able to easily converse with your hair stylist, so that #1, she doesn’t chop off all your hair. And #2, it makes for a better 30 minutes away from work.

There’s a Raleigh store you can go to shop for life balancing products.  Especially if you’re into yoga, you might be interested in experiencing Chakra aromas at the Raleigh Aveda store.

Raleigh Aveda Store for Balance

Do you know what chakras are?  If you look it up, the definition is ‘centers of energy that relates to each of our body’s systems and organs’.

Ayeda, by the way, is the name short for Ayurveda which means ‘science of life’.   They’re a very green-conscious store…using recycled container packaging, and taking preserving our earth very seriously.  You might’ve heard of them through your hair salon that might sell Aveda hair products.
