With so much beauty advice floating around on social media these days — from viral hair hacks to trendy product recommendations — it can be hard to know what’s actually worth your time (and money). That’s where we come in! Our expert stylists are here to help cut through the noise and give you beauty advice you can trust. We’ll tell you what the true hair care must- haves are and what you should absolutely avoid. We love offering personalized pointers to help you keep your hair healthy, beautiful, and uniquely you.
Our Forever Beauty Advice
When it comes to hair care, there’s no substitute for the tried-and-true beauty advice your stylist swears by. One of the most important habits? Getting regular trims every 6–8 weeks. Even if you’re growing your hair out, trims help keep the ends healthy and prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft, which can lead to breakage and thinning. It may seem counter productive, but it makes a huge difference in maintaining strong, beautiful hair over time.
Another piece of beauty advice we always stand behind is to always use a heat protectant before reaching for your hot tools. Whether you’re blow-drying, curling, or straightening, heat can weaken the hair’s structure and leave it dry or damaged. Not using a heat protectant gives you that unwanted dullness and frizz. A good protectant creates a barrier that shields your strands and keeps them looking smooth and shiny.
On top of that, investing in salon-quality shampoo, conditioner, and treatments is key — these products are formulated with higher-quality ingredients that truly nourish and protect your hair. And here’s some bonus beauty advice: don’t skip a weekly deep conditioning treatment, especially if your hair is color-treated, highlighted, or naturally dry. These conditioning treatments go deeper than your normal conditioner to truly nourish your hair for longer softness and moisture. Trust us, these simple steps will keep your hair looking its absolute best between salon visits!
What You Should Be Avoiding
Not all beauty shortcuts are worth it — and there are a few things your stylist really wishes you’d stop doing. One of the biggest no-no’s? Box dyeing your hair at home. While it may seem like a budget-friendly option, the results are often unpredictable and can lead to uneven color, damage, or unexpected tones. In the end, fixing a box dye job usually costs much more than just booking a professional color service in the first place. A little professional beauty advice here: step away from the drug-store color and trust your stylist to create the perfect shade for you to keep your hair healthy in the process.
Another common habit that can hurt your hair is over-washing. Many people don’t realize that shampooing too often can strip natural oils our hair actually needs, leaving our hair feeling dry and brittle. Depending on your hair type, aim to wash just 2–3 times a week and use dry shampoo in between if needed.
And when it comes to brushing, here’s a piece of essential beauty advice: never rip through wet hair with the wrong tools. Instead, reach for a wide-tooth comb or a wet brush to gently detangle without causing breakage. Being gentler on your hair can have big impacts in the long run!
Finally, skipping professional advice is something stylists wish clients would avoid. Your stylist is truly your hair’s best friend — they know your texture, history, and what products and techniques will work best for you. Getting personalized beauty advice from someone who understands your hair can save you time, frustration, and damage in the long run. Don’t be afraid to ask questions at your next appointment — we love helping you get the healthiest, most beautiful hair possible!
Seasonal Hair Care: Why You Should Change Your Routine with the Weather
Many people don’t know, but our hair is affected by the weather! Just like we switch up our skincare and wardrobe with the seasons, our haircare routine needs a little seasonal love too. As the weather shifts, so do your hair’s needs — and ignoring those changes can leave you with dry, frizzy, or lackluster strands. Being proactive with seasonal hair care not only keeps your hair looking beautiful year-round but also helps prevent long-term damage and breakage.
In the summer months, heat, humidity, chlorine, and UV rays can take a major toll on your hair. Lightweight, hydrating products become your best friends, helping to combat frizz and dryness without weighing hair down. Adding a UV protectant spray shields your color from sun damage, while a clarifying shampoo once a week helps remove sweat, salt, and product buildup from long days at the beach or pool. And don’t forget a leave-in conditioner or hair mask to restore moisture after all that summer fun!
As fall and winter roll in, the cold, dry air can zap moisture from your hair and scalp, leaving you with static, brittleness, or even flakiness. This is the time to switch to richer, more nourishing shampoos and conditioners that provide extra hydration. Weekly deep-conditioning treatments or hair masks can replenish lost moisture, while a few drops of hair oil on your ends help seal in softness and reduce split ends. And since we tend to use hot tools more in colder months, a good heat protectant becomes non-negotiable.
No matter the season, paying attention to your hair’s changing needs makes a world of difference. Talk to your stylist during appointments about what adjustments to make as the weather shifts — whether it’s swapping products, getting a moisture boost, or scheduling trims to keep ends healthy. With a little seasonal care, your hair can stay gorgeous and resilient all year long.
Color Commitment: How to Keep Your Hue Fresh Between Appointments
There’s nothing quite like walking out of the salon with freshly colored, glossy hair—but keeping that color vibrant between appointments takes some smart at-home care. First, invest in a good shampoo and conditioner that’s specifically formulated for color-treated hair. Sulfate-free, color-safe products help prevent fading and keep your hair looking its best. It’s also wise to limit how often you wash your hair and to rinse with cooler water, as hot water can cause your color to fade faster. Our pro beauty advice is to try dry shampoo- it can be a lifesaver here, stretching the time between washes without sacrificing freshness.
Heat styling and sun exposure are two major culprits when it comes to color damage, so it’s essential to use a heat protectant every time you blow-dry, curl, or straighten. For those who spend a lot of time outdoors, a UV-protectant spray can help shield hair from the sun’s fading effects, especially if you’re rocking a blonde or red shade. Between appointments, consider adding an at-home gloss treatment or a color-depositing conditioner to boost shine and refresh your hue. These products can help revive dull tones and extend the life of your color without another salon visit.
Finally, plan ahead when it comes to touch-ups. Booking your next root touch-up, toner, or highlight refresh before you leave the salon ensures you stay on schedule and avoid grown-out or brassy-looking hair. By combining smart products, heat protection, and regular maintenance, you can keep your color looking salon-fresh for weeks to come.
