Hello hello from Patricia at Salon Society! One of the things we recommend the most often for the health of your hair is using salon-quality products, but we know that it can be super intimidating trying to pick out which products you need to start with. When it comes to buying salon products for the first time, there are a few essentials you'll need. There’s a huge range of benefits that you can see in your hair’s health by using salon products, but today we’re just going to talk about the basics and where to start if you’ve never used quality hair products before! Firstly, you will want to invest in a good shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair type and its unique needs. Professional products are specially formulated with high-quality ingredients that can provide deep cleansing, nourishment, and hydration to your hair. These formulas can also target specific hair concerns like dryness, frizz, damage, or hair fall. They can help maintain the health and integrity of your hair, leaving it looking and feeling its best. Investing in professional shampoo and conditioner can really make a difference in the overall health and appearance of your hair! If you’re not sure where to start (no judgement here, there are so many options!), you can always come to the salon and ask for our help! Our stylists and salon coordinators are always more than happy to assist you in finding products that will work for you! However, if you prefer to shop online or just avoid human interaction (we feel you), here are some great options that are good for most hair types.
The next crucial step is finding a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from damage when using styling tools like blow dryers, straighteners, curling irons, and so on. Heat protectant products form a protective barrier on your hair and strands, reducing the amount of heat that is absorbed. This helps to prevent heat damage — dryness, colour damage, breakage and split ends. Every single time you are using heat on your hair it is essential to use a heat protectant spray or serum beforehand to keep your hair looking and feeling healthy and fabulous. Here are a few of our favourites:
Lastly, don't forget to grab some styling products like hairspray or styling cream for that perfect finishing touch. The difference in results that you will see from these is night-and-day to drugstore products. We’re honestly obsessed with quite a few of these… and they absolutely fly off the shelves with our clients who share our obsessions!
I hope you've enjoyed my guide to choosing salon products when you're first making the switch! If you have any specific hair concerns or any questions at all, send me a DM or come in for a free consultation! I would be happy to help you pick out the best products for your hair needs.

Do you ever feel like you just can't figure out how to keep your blonde locks looking gorgeous? Between sun damage, brassiness, and dryness, it can be tough to keep blonde hair healthy and beautiful. But don't worry - we're about to share our top 10 tips and tricks to maintain the vibrancy and health of your blonde or highlighted hair. With the right products, techniques, and a dedicated care routine, you can keep your golden locks looking fresh and healthy! Read on to uncover all our secrets for lustrous, vibrant, head-turning blonde hair. Get ready to take your blonde hair game to the next level! 1. Gentle Shampoo and Conditioner Always use sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner to protect your colour. Although not everyone immediately thinks of blonde as "coloured" hair, if you want to keep your blonde tones from fading, it's important to use products that are safe for coloured hair. You can combat brassiness with a purple shampoo - we recommend using it once a week to neutralize unwanted yellow tones and keep your blonde shades cool and fresh! 2. Deep Conditioning Treat your hair to a deep conditioning mask at least once weekly! This helps replenish moisture lost during the highlighting process and keeps your hair silky and manageable. A couple of our favourites are the Masque Cicaextreme for deep restoration after bleaching, and the Masque Intense Régénérant, a revitalizing moisture mask with an irresistible scent. 3. Heat Protection Shield your hair from heat damage by applying a thermal protection spray before using hot styling tools. This simple step is absolutely essential in order to safeguard your hair's vibrant colour and preserve its overall health and strength! 4. Regular Trims Schedule regular trims every 6-8 weeks to prevent split ends and maintain the shape of your hairstyle. This ensures your blonde tresses look polished and healthy, plus you get to hang out with your favourite stylist as a bonus! If you're someone who struggles to remember to keep up with these kinds of appointments - pre-book your next trim(s) at the end of your appointments! 5. Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure Prolonged sun exposure can lead to colour fading - and can damage your beautiful hair in the process! Protect your hair from UV rays by wearing a hat or using products with UV filters for extended periods outdoors. 6. Hydrate from Within Make sure to drink enough water and eat a well-balanced diet packed with essential vitamins and minerals. Your hair's health begins from the inside, so take care of your body to encourage strong and lustrous locks. 7. Professional Treatments Treat yourself to professional salon treatments occasionally, such as glossing or toning services. These can revive your colour and add extra shine to your blonde hair! We also highly recommend trying one of our Fusio-Dose Treatments! They can be customized to meet your unique hair needs, can be added to any service that includes a hair wash, and deliver amazing results quickly! Blog: 10 Things You Need to Know About Fusio Dose 8. Adjust Your Routine Based on Needs Pay attention to your hair's changing needs. If you notice it becoming dry, try deep conditioning more frequently. And if you're dealing with brassiness, consider using purple shampoo more often! 9. Protective Styles at Bedtime At bedtime, loosely braid your hair or switch to a satin pillowcase to minimize friction and prevent breakage. Unlike regular cotton pillowcases, satin doesn't absorb as much of your hair's natural moisture, leaving it smoother and more hydrated. Sweet dreams and beautiful hair await! 10. Regular Check-ins with Your Stylist Make sure to chat with your hairstylist about the condition of your hair and any touch-up appointments that may be needed. Keeping in touch regularly will help maintain the freshness and vibrancy of your blonde, and we genuinely enjoy spending the time with our clients to make sure you look and feel beautiful with your hair colour! Remember, a consistent and personalized hair care routine is key to keeping your blonde or highlighted hair looking its best. Adjustments to product usage and salon visits should be made based on your hair's unique needs and your desired look.
