Valor & Violet, an Aveda hair salon, will host a yoga session and Lululemon trunk show from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Tuesday. The salon is located on 310 Main St. in Ames. The salon opened Nov. 28. 

The yoga session will run from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. It is a free session that Emily Hampton of Ignite Yoga in Ames will lead. Bring your own yoga mat and water bottle. 

The Lululemon trunk show will be open for all from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Lululemon is a high-end, yoga-inspired apparel company. The stylish and comfortable athletic gear will be available for purchase.

Joshua Duchene, co-owner of Valor & Violet, said the event is a great opportunity for Ames.

Duchene said having popular, modern companies like Lululemon wanting to visit Ames shows the city is heading in a positive direction. Ames and the university are continuously growing, and events like this are great to have to offer to the community, Duchene said. This event complements what the salon values — involvement in the community and health for the body and environment. 

Duchene described the salon as having a fresh, organic feel accompanied by an experienced team of hair stylists. Valor & Violet offers a discount to all Iowa State students, faculty and alumni. 

At the time of opening, the salon had five experienced stylists who accepted scheduled appointments and walk-ins. Calling and making an appointment is recommended. The salon is an Aveda salon and sells Aveda products.
