FROM RUNWAY TO REALITY | behind the scenes at Aveda's 2023 Congress Experience

Come along with us and our curls to #AvedaCongress , an extraordinary experience and celebration of hair artistry, fashion, empowerment, community, and sustainability. So much nostalgia rushed back to me from my Aveda Institute days and I am truly so grateful for the opportunity to attend such an iconic event!
I hope after watching this video, you understand my deep love for Aveda. Theyre truly a one of a kind brand, and I feel so proud to be an #AvedaPartner
Special shout out to the incredible artists that have inspired me in so many ways; Renee Gadar, Antoinette Beenders, Christine Hall, Ricardo Dinis, Ian Michael Black, and the speakers; Scott Harrison from Charity.Water and Ryan Leak.

Only 8 minutes in and I already have to make two comments. FIRST we been knowing Amanda has dang 3 hairs coming out of each pore. I am so jealous, lol. SECOND that woman did such an amazing job on your hair! I adore the bigger curls!

[@ManesByMell]

LOL Right?!? Amanda and her large head and hairs lol & I was so so happy with my results

[@Caplor04]

If there is a possibility of you re-creating that routine with the finger coil twists, doing it yourself slowly so we can all see it, that would be awesome! Your hair looked incredible!

[@melseviltwin1277]

Who else agrees that Mel is rockin' her new haircut?!?

[@franceskeller4536]

Love Amanda showing us how blessed she is in the scalp department with the 3 strands coming out of each follicle! 🎉

[@shankornfeld1541]

Amanda's slightly teary smiles when she looks at Mell, and when Mell is talking about how this is her journey coming full circle remind me of how my sister looks at me when she is touched on my behalf ❤❤❤

[@Daniela-2208]

Your guys’ end result of hair was spectacular. I’m loving the short bob. You are so captivating Mel and the love and bond that you and your sister share, is admirable ❤️

[@the1_grammy503]

You make me want to try and get my hair to curl again! I’ve always had curly hair until the last 15 years. (I’m 63 and I have gorgeous gray hair with natural streaks that is thin and long.) I think menopause has been my enemy, in more ways than one!😂 I’m just hoping some products will coax the curls back.

[@kimberlee3243]

I love your hair!

[@bekahrobertson5036]

Way to go SEESTERS!! Y’all deserve this moment! I have watched y’all grow so much over the past 4 years! Y’all are such a huge inspiration to me and all curlies❤ thank y’all for being you!

I used to work at Aveda years ago. This touched my heart as well. Thank you for taking us on this journey. 💚

[@GabyLange]

I worked for Aveda for about 10 years so I completely understand how amazing that experience must have been for you! Thank you for allowing us all to tag along on this adventure. So so cool!

[@jaimiedolan3852]

This haircut is AMAZING on you!

[@ManesByMell]

Thank you SO much!

Mel I just LOVE the shorter look & the big bouncy curls are just so beautiful. Both of you are just gorgeous. ✌🏼

[@brandymoran9646]

Whoa!! You were STUNNING in that dress!! Love the hair! I’m actually growing my hair out from having a curly bob for several years. I’m JUST getting past the awkward hair length stage…so I’m having to not let myself cut it again looking at your amazing cut!! Could you show how you style your hair a bit? I see you putting some clips in, but can’t figure out how that works. I can’t figure out how to get my hair out of my face, but not look boring.

[@Star-dj1kw]

I love Amanda’s cute sneeze

[@hdeniro1106]

Mel seeing older pics of u with the blonde hair makes me realize how much i love u with darker hair. It br ings out your beautiful features and eyes so much more!

You look so amazing with a bob and it suits your personality so well! Every time I watch your recent videos I want to bob my hair again! I’ve been trying to grow out my recent bob for a change, but I’m sooo tempted!😅

I had no idea Aveda had such a broad message. Thanks for sharing!

[@shawnahare4299]

[@Michybon]

It was so hard to hear what was being said in some parts of the video because the music was too loud 😕 you both look amazing and I’m so happy that you got to experience all of that. You deserve that and much more.

[@hdeniro1106]

I love catching up with my mane gal mel!

[@fayeberman9218]

Still pretty early in, but that necklace is a wearable essential oil diffuser. I have a necklace that is an elephant that is the same. I also have a lava rock bracelet that you can put scent on. That bracelet helped tremendously during the last two months of my dad being in the ICU, and his funeral.

[@user-rd3gd7vm2l]

Ughhhhh you two were literally a few blocks from me!!! I ❤️❤️❤️ Juut and get my hair done there all the time and when I was a teen, Horst would have hair model calls in downtown Minneapolis and I’ve done many- even had Horst choose my hair style & cut it!!! Your hair after the scalp massage is amazing!! You two look fabulous!!! Hope you hit up the mall of America!

[@sophiaaloeristok]

Ive been waiting for this vlog and I was not disappointed ❤

This. Was. Everything. I've loved Aveda for ages - but your video brought to light all the reasons why I adore the brand - I would love to enjoy something like this in the future - so artistic and so loving. Must have been so transformative as well as powerful! Thank you both so much for sharing this experience with us!!!

The BEST!

Enjoyed this video very much. As I watched this video, QVC had an hour of Aveda on. I just thought that was great timing on someone's part.

So cool 😊

Great video! Sorry the weather here was so crappy! It will be sunny and in the 80s this weekend. Go figure. But it seems like you two had a great time anyway 😊

Im really loving this haircut on you😍 👌

[@emzyrainbowwings2430]

Duuuude if I had known you would be in Minneapolis (my home) I would have sent you suggestions on must go to restaurants.

[@hather9938]

"you're a doctor so you should know how to do this" got me 🤣🤣🤣 special love for Amanda and mell😚😚🥰

[@laramunro7753]

I was an Aveda fan for years, using the Elixir and Confixer combination. Once they got rid of that I tried the Be Curly product a few times over the years and it never worked for me, so I jumped ship. I'm excited to try the Nutriplenish leave in conditioner and styling foam. I would love to use Aveda product again.

[@D3adRomanc3]

This was incredible! What a lovely opportunity, I am new to the brand but love their gel and curl cream so far. I'm finding I need more hold for my 3c hair though. Btw we said "holy shit" at the same time.

[@theetravelhippie]

you looks so beautiful!!

[@michellesimenson8191]

Loved this vlog and glad you enjoyed your time in my city ❤ Of course Amanda has 3 hairs per follicle 😆 #jelly

[@ruthkuder4349]

I wish I knew you were going to be in my neck of the woods. I would have been a "fan girl"! ❤

[@maryc6091]

And just when I thought you couldn’t get any more beautiful! Looks like you had a great time. I absolutely love your hair style now. I wish I could wear mine like that. Is your cut an ordinary Bob? I go for my cut in a few days. I may ask for that style. Tia

[@truthprevails4386]

do all aveda salons offer this treatment??? i'm intrigued

[@suttondawnmariemazar4680]

Where did that black bow headband come from? It's adorable, fashionable!! Love it! Im going to try aveda myself. Like ive said im going to get my hair back to healthy. I have natural dark hair with very blonde highlights. Ugh going to be a long road but I'm committed now!!

[@azarialr6639]

I thought I was the only one with three strands per follicle! So glad it’s not just me 😂

[@filmsbynix]

I prefer how you styled your hair

[@jenniferfalcon1410]

I will tell you that your short haircut looks amazing on you. You look like a very mature, bad ass b&$&) I love watching all your shows you inspire me. I love that you are a naturally beautiful woman who loves yourself . I am a girl on the chubby side I’m not fat I’m not skinny, but you give me confidence and watching your videos makes me more confidence and loving who I am and loving my hair. I even cut my hair really short recently because I had brain surgery two years ago where the side of my head had to be shaved, which made me start enjoying shorter hair, but watching your videos and your confidence made me want to keep it short again I even recently purchased the phone gel and I’m very blurry on buying items because of financial reasons and I don’t want to waste money but thank you. I’m in love with it.

[@grace5278]

I LOVE your hair this length!! Question: if you could only have one Aveda product, which would it be?

[@ManesByMell]

this is really really tough, and it's definitely changed over the years. I'm absolutely obsessed with the nutriplenish overnight serum tho. But what kind of product are you looking for? I can give you a more specific recommendation !

[@grace5278]

@@ManesByMell Treatment or styler! I’m chronically ill and probably do a little less for my hair than I should, but I love a multi-purpose styler. Bouncecurl’s clump and define cream has been a go-to for years (in veryyyy tiny amounts), but their gel doesn’t give me enough hold when I air-dry (I don’t have enough energy after I shower to diffuse). My hair is fine/medium and I’ve had trouble finding a product that gives me enough hold without weighing my hair down or making it too product-y. I’m intrigued by the Aveda foams and gels, but I’m not sure if they’d be too heavy for my hair - I’m allergic to propylene glycol, so I can’t try your foaming gel collab with Verb :(

[@1218nana1218]

@14:51 😂😂😂 holy shit indeed

[@kendallrice5705]

Mell do you know if Aveda sells at wholesale to cosmetologists?

[@jc7blessed]

Amanda at the end😁😁😁😁😁, she is too much🤣😂 Mell asked her : " Did u enjoy it?" Mell/Seester Translation: Will u come again? (At the end of every/ most ManesByMell, Mell asks if we enjoyed it to comment that we will like to see more ) Amanda's response: 23:43 She's dodging, she's weaving, she trying to be slick😂🤣 But look at Mell's reaction, she caught on immediately🤣😂🤣. She didnt press the matter at all. But was just appreciative of Amanda. And Amanda the way you championed through that shoe pain🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 Mell I missed a couple weeks. But everything seems the same. I would've been in tears, if in that time my curl mom chopped all of her hair off, that she spent so, so, so, much energy taking care of. But thankfully, gratefully, my curl mom Melissa Guido did no such thing, she would never 💜💜💜💜💜

[@sarahp4420]

Aveda has some great products, but as someone who worked in a salon and saw how vastly different the price the salon gets the products for vs retail cost was insane and kinda made me think less highly of them

[@AlexisBelon]

I was in an Aveda hair show for my curls! Btw idk if you’re into nyc vlogs but if so, you might like mine. Swing by, take a peek and stick around if you like. I’d be sooo grateful. 🙏

[@denisebedwell4788]

Do you think Aveda is worth the price

[@ManesByMell]

I really do. I know it's not cheap, but there's a reason it's priced at what it is and why it's so loved from around the world. Especially if you prefer more natural products, nothing works and smells like Aveda

[@user-kh6sk5ms8v]

i so happy for you mell
