8 Steps to Better Curls

3/20/2023

0 Comments

 

Hello curly people! It's me, Advanced Master Stylist & Curl Specialist, Aaron Brousseau writing today to chat about natural curls. As a person with curly hair, I completely understand how frustrating it can be trying to make those damn curls do what you want them to! But never fear - today I am going to share my 8 Steps to Better Curls: Curly Hair Routine.


This curly routine is only 8 steps and it really makes a world of difference in getting the most bounce and definition out of your natural texture. The key equation to remember is that Hydration + Structure = Flawless Curls.

 

HYDRATING SHAMPOO + CONDITIONER

Starting with hydrating shampoo and conditioner is super important. My top pick is Kerastase Curl Manifesto shampoo and conditioner, they're lightweight but suuuuper hydrating and smell divine.



SOAKING STYLING

On soaking wet hair, apply Oribe Curl Gloss for ultimate hydration, shine, hold and protection from humidity, then follow with Oribe's Curl Gelée by smoothing it through your curls.



SCRUNCH + TWIST

Scrunch your hair to maximize bounce then twist out a few pieces to add definition and detail.



SQUEEZE

Now squeeze some of the excess moisture out with a microfiber towel or a cotton T-shirt (regular towels will cause frizz!), then add a few good dollops of your favourite Curl/Volume mousse! I would recommend trying Oribe's Curl Shaping Mousse or Grandiose Plumping Mousse (I actually love layering the two for a stunning curl volume cocktail ?). Flip your head over and give it one last scrunch.



HOVER

Now, with a diffuser on your blow dryer, heat on high and speed medium, I want you to HOVER!! Do NOT touch the curls until they're almost fully dry! I like to do around 5-7 minutes with my head flipped forward then repeat, flipping the hair to each side, then again on the back. The goal here is to focus most of the airflow at the roots.



DIFFUSE TO DRY

When the hair has formed a bit of a "cast" and the curls are feeling stiff and mostly dry, turn the heat down to low and speed to medium/low. Starting at the ends, start pushing the diffuser up to the scalp, kind of like an accordion!



ADD VOLUME

Once the hair is 10000% DRY the structure will be locked in. You can now work on adding volume by spraying a lightweight texture spray like Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray and use a pick to add lift at the roots!



FINAL TOUCH

Finish off by scrunching in your favourite oil for shine, moisture, and protection. Some of my faves are Kerastase Curl Manifesto Huile Sublime, Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oil for Colour-Treated Hair, Oribe Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil, and Kevin Murphy Young Again Oil!

 

As a Curl Specialist, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing the fresh confidence my clients gain by learning the best tricks and tips for their natural curls. Every person's hair is unique and you may have to experiment to find the routine and product combo that is best for you - but I hope my 8 Steps to Better Curls helps you find the way to yours!

I would super encourage every single person with curls to book a Curly Cut or a Cadō Cut with me or one of my fellow Curl Specialists at Salon Society - we love helping our clients get the most out of their curls with the right cut and routine.



If you have any questions about curly hair or any of the products mentioned, feel free to send me a DM or leave a comment below. We cannot wait to see you (and your curls) at Salon Society!

What to Expect at Your First Massage

3/13/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Hi friends, Dani here! As a massage therapist for over 10 years, sometimes I forget that some people have never had a massage before! So I wanted to give a breakdown of what goes on during your first massage for anyone who is nervous or just plain curious. 
​
BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT

A waiver and questions about your current and past health issues will be sent to you online.


WHEN YOU ARRIVE

Once in the treatment room, I will ask what areas you are wanting to work on - this can be things like… your neck and shoulders have been sore from working at a desk, your lower back is sore from painting a wall, you are seeking massage following a sports injury, etc. To confirm that it is safe to proceed with your massage, we will discuss some further questions, including how much pressure you prefer - it’s okay if you are not sure!


GETTING SETTLED

Something that many clients are unsure about is how much to undress! While I will let you know what is best for the treatment,it is always up to you to choose to take off as much or as little as you are comfortable with. Before I leave the room for a few minutes to let you undress in private, I will tell you the best way to get settled on the massage bed underneath the sheet provided.


​THE MASSAGE

After a few minutes have passed, I will knock to make sure you are ready before re-entering the room.  After washing my hands, I expose only the parts of your body that require massage - nothing will ever be exposed that isn’t necessary. I always start with light/relaxation pressure to warm up the area before using heavier pressure. As soon as I start deepening the pressure, I will ask how it feels. Ideally, we want it to feel good but a tiny bit tender. If it hurts, let me know right away! At anytime if you feel the pressure needs to be changed, don’t hesitate to ask. I can use light pressure or deep tissue techniques; communication is the key to success. I won’t be offended - this treatment is for you!


​AFTER THE MASSAGE


When our treatment time is over, we will go over how you’re feeling. We will discuss whether you should apply ice or drink water when you get home to help prevent soreness. Normally, you'll be a bit sore the next day, but if you're still sore any longer, please let me know at your next appointment so we can adjust the pressure accordingly. Depending on the situation, stretching at home or a referral to a chiropractor may be helpful to complement your massage treatments.

I will give you privacy to change back into your clothes and then meet you at the front desk to give you a receipt with all the info you need to claim your massage through insurance. 

Rebooking your next massage is up to you and what you feel is necessary. If we are treating a specific injury or issue it usually takes 2-3 massages, approximately 2 weeks apart. For regular treatment, usually every 4-6 weeks is ideal.​

And that’s all there is to it! Massages are all about relaxation and I hope I have given you assurance that the process is nothing to stress about. If you have any questions, leave a comment or send me a DM. I strongly believe that everyone can benefit from massage and I’d love to see you at Salon Society.

Why I Can't Live Without These 5 Products

2/1/2023

0 Comments

 
Hey everyone - Nadine here from Salon Society! As an Advanced Master Stylist who has been in the hair industry for over 10 years, I have tested more than my fair share of products (and continue to test as new ones are developed) so when I tell you these products are the five which I could not live without you know they are gonna be good! 

Before you read on and jump into my list I want to put a little disclaimer here: these products are the five products that I could not live without in my life, that is to say, my personal unique hair care needs make these essential. It is so so important to remember that our hair history, water, hormones, medication, diet, and so much more affect our hair and in turn what our hair needs. If you are struggling with a specific hair care issue please hit us up at Salon Society - we would love nothing more than to help you find your own best five products!

And with no further ado, my five products which I cannot live without:
​
Picture

1. Kerastase Chronologiste Pre-Cleanse Régénérant


​​I have hard water in my house which causes a lot of buildup in my hair. This pre-shampoo is the perfect cleanse to jumpstart the double-cleanse process and it works to get all the buildup out of my hair in a gentle way.
Picture

2. Kerastase Fusio Scrub Energisant


​​Once or twice a month I use this scrub to really clean my fine hair from all the shampoos and products I use. It is so wonderful and keeps my scalp really healthy. It's also a cleanser which is cool because it lathers really well! When I use this scrub I use it in place of one of my two shampoos during my double cleanse.
Picture

3. Oribe Hair Alchemy Fortifying Treatment Serum


​​This serum is heaven for maintaining my extensions and keeping my ends strong! Plus it is a beautiful air-drying product too - I LOVE a product that does more than one thing!
Picture
Picture


​4. Oribe Run-Through Detangler

& Framar Detangling Brush


​Okay, so I know this is actually two products, but I really wouldn’t be able to use the detangling primer without the detangling brush! These two together make the best detangling duo you could ever ask for!!


Mom Hack: This is the only way I can do Charleigh's hair without upsetting her - seriously life-changing!!
Picture

5. Kevin Murphy Bedroom Hair

Bedroom Hair had to be on this list. I cannot live without it for my in-salon clients, for weddings, or for my own at-home styling! I definitely keep a couple of these magic-in-a-can laying around in case of emergency! The secret to what makes Bedroom Hair so amazing is that it contains the smallest amount of wax, which tames flyaways without weighing hair down. It is fantastic for adding texture without static, gives a sexy fluffy texture, and the smell is phenomenal!
That’s it, the five products that I cannot live without!! Are you excited to give any of them a try or do you already have some of the same products on your list? Share your top five products with us in the comments - we would love to know!

Ask The Expert: All About  Permanent Texture Treatments

1/1/2023

0 Comments

 
Calling all kinks, curls, coils, and waves!! How do you feel about your textured hair? Do you wish it was seriously straight? Or maybe you love your texture but hate the frizz? Or would you prefer something in the middle - a happy medium of your natural texture and smooth hair?

-- Do we ever have good news for you!!
​

Hello Textured Hair, meet our 3 Permanent Texture Treatments…  
​
  1. Permanent Straightening
    The perfect choice for clients who want seriously straight hair permanently until the roots grow back with the hair’s natural texture.

  2. Smoothing Treatment
    A solution for anyone who wants to regain control of their hair without making it overly straight. The body and volume of hair are retained while shine and manageability are enhanced and frizz is eliminated with moderate curl reduction.

  3. Anti-Frizz Curl Treatment
    The best choice for those who love their natural curls and want to rock the best version of them. This treatment gives wavy, curly or coils their best life!
Have questions? We thought you might! 
That is why we sat down with our Permanent Texture Treatment Specialist, Patricia Giannakakos, to go over some common Permanent Texture Treatment Q & A's!

Patricia has been a stylist for over 10 years. She began her career in Athens, Greece and when she returned to work in Canada this past year, we were absolutely thrilled to have her join our Salon Society team. Patricia brings outstanding blonding, colouring, and natural curly hair expertise to our salon (she is one of our designated Curly Hair Specialists!). Additionally, thanks to her many years of hair artistry in Greece, Patricia has unique skills and techniques like her European Blowout and, of course, her Permanent Texture Treatments!

Q: What is a Permanent Texture Treatment and how does it work?

A: Our permanent texture treatment changes the hair’s structure by reacting with the disulphide bonds*, loosening them, which is then followed by the ironing process that fixes the hair into permanently straight, smooth, shiny, and overall healthier hair.

This treatment transforms the hair texture gently and complements existing salon services like colour. It is resistant to hair-damaging chemicals like chlorine and salt. This new-generation Permanent Texture Treatment uses proprietary technology, which is a hybrid between keratin treatment and thermal straightening, making it suitable for all hair types.

​* hair bonds that are responsible for your hair type



Q: Are Permanent Texture Treatments the same as a perm?

​A: No, our Permanent Texture Treatments are not the same as a perm. They are NOT alkaline-based and there are NO chemical ingredients - they are all-natural treatments!


Q: When my hair grows, will it keep the texture? How long does a Permanent Texture Treatment last?

A: The treatments permanently change the texture of hair until new roots grow with the hair’s natural texture, as long as the hair is healthy enough to absorb the treatment. In the case of super-damaged hair, results may last for up to four months.


Q: Are Permanent Texture Treatments bad for my hair?

A: Not at all! Our Permanent Texture Treatments are formaldehyde-free and are not alkaline-based. Our product uses only natural ingredients that won't cause damage or breakage to the hair. Additionally, unlike other curl relaxer treatments on the market, our Permanent Texture Treatments have no health risks involved!


Q: Are the products used bad for the environment?

A: Nope! The products we use for our Permanent Texture Treatments are made from organic compounds and there are no harmful ingredients or fumes - making the treatments environmentally friendly.


Q: How long have you been doing these Permanent Texture Treatments?

A: Patricia has been doing Permanent Texture Treatments for 8 years. She has introduced to this revolutionary treatment product about 3 years ago and it has been her favourite ever since!

​So, do we have you convinced to try out a Permanent Texture Treatment or do you still have outstanding questions? Leave a comment below or book in with Patricia for a free consultation today. BRB - that anti-frizz treatment is calling my name!

Holiday Gift Guide 2022

​Christmas is a time for excitement and gift-buying, but finding the perfect gift can be stressful. We sometimes feel distracted by the quick, trendy commercialization of Christmas, and oftentimes, these impulse buys end up in the trash not long after the holidays are over. We believe that shopping sustainably means giving a gift someone will genuinely love and avoiding unnecessary waste and over-commercialization. Big box stores tend to lure us in with flashy displays and low prices but it is so gratifying knowing your money is going back into your community instead of the pockets of some big-company CEO. As a small business, we wholeheartedly believe in supporting our local businesses and the local economy. Unfortunately, in the past few months, we have seen many local Regina storefronts close and we would love to encourage you to shop local this year!

With that in mind, why not treat yourself or your loved ones this holiday season with these great gift ideas? Giving gifts to loved ones is one of the most rewarding parts of the holidays, but we also believe that treating yourself is also super important! In that spirit, we have put together this gift guide - whether you need ideas for gifting or treating yourself with a little holiday cheer, we’ve got something for everyone!

Give the Gift of Relaxation


Massage 

Give the gift of massage with a gift certificate or by prebooking a treatment. Massage is one of those quintessential relaxation gifts and we would have been remiss to have left it off! Book with Dani at Salon Society or your fave local massage therapist. 


Facial & Skin Care

We are huge fans of luxurious skin care treatments and the Custom Facial offered by Hope, Alex, and Dani is a seriously amazing relaxation experience featuring steamy towels, two masks, and a heavenly scalp massage. 

Similarly, give the gift of home skincare! Dermalogica has a great range of gift sets and incredible products that bring the relaxation home - home spa day anyone? 


Blowout Club Membership 

Give the gift of stunning hair for 30 days - these SASO Blowout Memberships really spoil you with VIP treatment! You commit to one blowout a week for 30 days and we commit to giving you the best head massage, gorgeous hair, and a special package price!  


Pedicure

We are big believers that pedicures are one of the ultimate spa experiences. They bundle relaxation, massage, and gorgeous toes all together! Our gal Alex used to be a massage therapist so her massage skills are next-level.


Bath Goodies

Everyone loves some quality bath products. There is something so nice about taking a bubble bath or watching a bath bomb fizz. Lots of local makers create the best bath products from quality ingredients and safe perfumes. There are tons to be found at local vendor markets like Handmade Sask (@handmadesask) or Brick & Mortar (@brickandmortarsk)!

Insider Tip: Try a hair mask from Salon Society when you soak in a bath to nourish your hair while you relax!


Books

Cozy up with a good book! Find the perfect book for your pal or get them a gift certificate to find their own. Centennial Books and Spafford Books are great local independent bookstores to check out. Plus one of Regina’s coolest bookstores is Awarehouse Books (@awarehousebooks) - full of crystals, incense, and of course books - it is a must-visit store in Cathedral!


Cozy Local Mugs 

Everyone knows that your drink tastes better out of a cozy mug! Regina has many local pottery artists that make the cutest mugs - we highly recommend you snag one for yourself! 

Fave local artists + local shops:
AidenAmina (@aiden.amina)
PrairieMoon Handmade (@prairiemoonhandmade) - if you can get your hands on one - she sells out fast!
Wildfire Ceramics (@wildfire_ceramics)


Float 

After the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, few things sound better than resetting in a sensory deprivation float tank! Check out Smith & Best Float Studio for this super cool experience. 


Candles

Candles are another classic for a relaxing ambiance. For a wonderful gift, grab a locally made candle in a favourite scent!

Hygge Candle Co. (@hyggecandle.ca)
Conjure Apothecary (@conjure.apothecary)
Ruby Reid Candle (@rubyreidcandles) - you can shop these when you go for your float at Smith & Best Float Studio!


Plants 

​Is there anything more relaxing than loving your home? In our opinion, plants give an instant ambiance boost to any space. They are bright, lively, O2-creating machines that make us so happy (is it any wonder we have turned Salon Society into a jungle?). 

Our local faves:

Dutch Growers (@dutchgrowers_regina)
Rooted Landscape & Design (@rootedld)
Little Big Plant Company (@thelittlebigplantcompany)

Hot Tip: When shopping the Nut Man’s select you HAVE to try their Rye Bagel Chips (they are NEXT LEVEL!!) and their Saskatchewan-local Drake Meats Jerky! 


Meat + Cheese Boards

Enjoy a fabulous night in with friends with a delicious charcuterie spread. Takeaway Gourmet and The Italian Star Deli have all the cheese, meat, bread, and specialty items required for making a great appy platter. Or save yourself the time and effort and have one of these fab local stores do the work for you and custom make a beautiful creation tailored to your tastes! 

Takeaway Gourmet (@takeawayyqr)
Italian Star Deli (@italianstardeli)


Local Wine

Pair that cheese board with some wine! Support our locally-owned liquor stores and grab a hostess gift! All the wines and spirits you could think of in a wonderful local store. 

Willow Park Wines & Spirits (@willowparkwinesregina)
Urban Cellars (@urbancellarsquance)


Hair Care Sets 

There's nothing quite like the confidence boost from having beautiful hair. Give hair the love it deserves with a gift set like the Oribe Gold Lust Collection, one of Kevin Murphy's many options like In The Thick Of It or Yours Everlasting, or Kerastase's Blond Absolu Lumiere set! You can find all of these and lots more options online and in-store at Salon Society.


Clothing 

Shop local clothing and pick that perfect wardrobe item! Say “No” to Shein and lead-tainted clothing, and take a stand against fast fashion by choosing stylish pieces from Seed Sustainable Style, Havik Clothiers, Four Girls Boutique, Oliver’s Men’s Wear, and T+A Vintage.
Looking for your littles? Check out some of Regina’s cutest kids' boutiques Little Kinfolk and Little Prairie Kids for all the tiny humans in your life.

Rooted Landscape & Design (@rootedld)
Little Big Plant Company (@thelittlebigplantcompany)
Dutch Growers (@dutchgrowers_regina) - And when you visit Dutch Growers, definitely also check out their boutique for quality clothing, gorgeous home decor, and so much more!

Beach Waves are a classic look. They are always in style and they channel the ultimate undone, effortless, sexy vibe! This blog will teach you how to achieve the Beach Waves of your dreams at home.
 

First things first, make sure you have the right products on hand. Beach Waves are all about texture, so that is what we are going to be looking for in a product. Our go-to faves are in the Kevin Murphy Collection:

HAIR.RESORT Beach Texturiser 

This product is an oil-free texturizing lotion that gives the hold and grit needed for our Beach Waves. Plus, this product has a gorgeous added Violet Iridescent Mica Powder which gives hair a stunning shine boost!
HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY
