Aveda Elemental Nature

Infinity - Air - Fire - Water - Earth

At the root of all Aveda facials are the five elements of nature: Infinity, Air, Fire, Water and earth. Our bodies are made up of each of these five elements- and the same dynamics that orchestrate the processes within the human body also orchestrate life everywhere in the universe. As living being we are in a constant state of flux. The miraculous forces of energy within each of us continue to strive for equilibrium as we are bombarded with stressful choices that affect our balance each day. Therefore, it is with that in mind that the Elemental Nature Sensory Journey is used to customize each facial to help create that balance in all of our guests. The Elemental Nature Sensory Journey is a questionnaire that will help the therapist design the perfect treatment using aromas that the guest has
