We all can use a new perspective when it comes to makeup, particularly if it has been awhile since we’ve gotten a lesson. Learning new tricks, finding a new shade, interpreting trends, or becoming more classic. There’s never a bad time to learn, grow, or change.

Juut is offering makeup lessons at various Juut Salonspas around the metro March 6-20. For a $25 reservation, pick a date and time to spend forty-five minutes with a professional, and come out looking like Rachel Zoe styled you for the Oscars. (Or not, if Zoe’s not your thing.) The lesson is free—as long as you purchase $25 in Aveda products. Trust me, this is not difficult. I personally love the tinted moisturizer, the Petal Essence eyeshadow duo in Waterlily and Sea Grape, Lip Shine in Juneberry and Grapefruit Pulp, and I just reviewed the Nourish-Mint lipstick line here. (Oh, and as for skin care, the Tourmaline Charged Exfoliating Cleanser is amazing.) Go here to find a list of dates, times, and locations.

It’s never too late to go back to school.

Also, Juut Edina and Juut Wayzata have new hair artists in residence, which means haircuts from $35, tints from $35, and partial highlights from $55. It's a great deal, and limited-time only: for about ten weeks, new stylists are mentored by senior stylists, (they are already well-trained, don't worry). Call Edina (Southdale) at 952-925-4343 or Wayzata at 952-404-9955 to book an appointment before it is too late. Again, great Juut-level service, just with new artists.

One more little tip: Uptown is the training salon for aestheticians and massage therapists. If they've got one in training, you're getting a steal on a facial or massage. They do have them right now, so go book an appointment. You can't beat the prices. 612-823-0977.
