Let's talk scalp health!

You may have heard about our new service, our head spa treatment, which is generating a lot of buzz on social media. This is a relaxing and rejuvenating treatment that focuses on cleansing your scalp and hair, while you close your eyes, relax, and enjoy being pampered. Not only is this service super relaxing, but it can also help to make sure your scalp is clean, healthy, and refreshed, which overall will help with hair growth. Combine this as a monthly treatment with some Nutrafol and honey, we are talking GROWTH. Check out some more information below about this exceptional service and the benefits of Nutrafol. (Plus, we've got promos for both!) If you would like to try out this service, we invite you to schedule an appointment . We know you are going to love it!

Happy September! This month, we're focusing on relaxation, rejuvenation, and refreshing our mind, body, soul, and hair after this summer's activities. Look at some special promotions we offer this month to help you become your best self!

Breakage be gone

Breakage got you down? Your hairbrush might be to blame, but we've got the solution now. Say it with me: "GENESIS." How often have you gotten out of the shower, brushed your hair, and been absolutely horrified by the amount of hair you saw on your brush? Second to chemical damage, mechanical breakage due to brushing is more common than you think, and Kerastase has a solution for that! The Genesis line features a complete regimen of products to minimize breakage caused by brushing and strengthening hair over time. Did we also mention it smells amazing?! Shampoo and condition your hair, then apply the thermal spray to damp hair BEFORE blow drying. This will help protect your hair from heat, provide hydration, and keep frizz at bay. Use the daily fortifying serum in 4 doses on a dry or towel-dried scalp and leave it in for extra nourishment and breakage prevention.

Color care 101

Have you ever wondered how often you should color your hair? Unfortunately, there's no exact magic number we can give you, but we have some recommendations that will surely help you sort out your schedule. For typical root touch-ups, we recommend visiting the salon every four to six weeks. Depending on your hair growth, you will fall in that time frame.  For a highlight service, we recommend visiting the salon every 10 to 12 weeks, but this will also depend on your hair growth. It is important to maintain your regular appointments so that you can keep your color fresh, vibrant, and beautiful.  Another tip is to schedule your services around important life events that you want to look extra special for! As always, we offer complimentary consultations to answer all of your questions for your specific hair goals and needs.

$65 unlimited root touch-ups

We wanted to share some information about our exciting root touch-up membership! Our "unlimited" root touch-ups membership is $65 per month and allows you the freedom to get your roots done as many times per month as you need! You will start by having an in-depth consultation with our creative director and a junior stylist, who will recommend your formula, frequency, and a home care regimen. The services will be performed by a junior stylist each time you come in, and don't forget to schedule your next visit before you leave! This is the perfect opportunity for someone who wants to stay on top of keeping their color fresh, needs more frequency, and is looking to spend smart.

The seasons are changing; we know you can feel it in the air, but can you feel it in your hair? You don't have to! Take a look at some of our top tips and products to give you super healthy hair for the fall and winter! Get a trim! Even if you want to grow your hair out or keep it long, trims are necessary to remove the dead ends and keep your hair healthy. Fun fact.. getting a routine trim helps the hair grow long.

We all need a little detox from time to time! 🍋

Tips on Hair Detoxing? Say no more! Summer, the season full of outdoor activities. Whether it's a hike, poolside, beach days, etc., whatever it may be, we take advantage on the sun as much as we can, but do we really know how damaging the summer season is on our hair? How does summer affect your hair? The answer is: harsh sun rays strip away natural hair oils, making your hair dry and dull. Hair Detox Tips from our experts: Biweekly scalp scrubs are a must! Scalp health is the key to healthy shiny/hair. Scalp massaging to stimulate the hair follicles. Switching to a clarifying shampoo once a week in the summer. We recommend the Kérastase Resistance line and the Genesis line! Hair treatments to help bring back or keep the moisture in your hair follicles.
