HEY BABES! 

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Aaron Brousseau I’m a Master Stylist and Lead Hair Artist at Salon Society in Regina SK

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m colour OBSESSED! Nothing makes me happier than when my clients leave with that permanent smile glued to their face. 
Another thing you’ll find out soon after you sit in my chair and I start working my magic is that I want to educate you on how to keep your colour looking it’s very best.

One of my favourite ways to keep your hair perfect between visits is by using a customized colour maintenance conditioner! This gives me the ability to perfectly match the gorgeous tone we’ve created in salon.

With the help of EVO FABULOSO PRO (FAB PRO) I’ve got an UNLIMITED colour palette to compliment absolutely any colour range!!

Are you a cool cat thinking of joining the fun colour trend but not ready to fully commit? These colour conditioners are perfect for you! Just apply the condition to your hair, chill, and rinse and you’ll have pink hair for a couple weeks and a couple washes! 
 
FAB PRO will leave you colour looking refreshed and feeling soft and hydrated and to top it all off  FAB PRO is amonnia free, peroxide free, vegan, cruelty free and made with out sulphates, parabens or gluten .

I know, I know. But there's just something about this trend that has me feeling hella creative lately! I mean, obviously I've been spending some time on TikTok during lockdown, you know.... like every other human on the planet right now. Quarantine's got us doing crazy things. Something about this trend has caught my eye, it's so fun! 

Why I love this trend so much:
- not a huge commitment, you are only lighting a small section of your hair
- when the colour fades you can try multiple different ones
- makes a statement!

I pre-ordered everything I need to make these colour dreams a reality, so if this trend is on your radar- get at me! Let's make some magic.

Things are going to be a little different around here. We wanted to get you prepared for your next appointment as best we can. These polices & procedures will be in effect as long as it's mandated by the government.

We will still be offering local delivery for all of our boutique items. You can shop online here.

​​Hey everyone! Ailesh from Salon Society in Regina, SK here to talk about proper hand and nail care in our current crazy COVID world. 


As we all undoubtedly know at this point, 20 seconds of frequent and thorough handwashing with soap and warm water is important for defending against the COVID-19 virus but all this hand washing can really take a toll on the health of our hands and nails. In addition, increased sanitization of frequently touched surfaces has many of us with our hands in harsh cleaners and bleach. 

Working to keep your hands and nails in good shape isn't just so they look pretty but also to protect your health. Broken skin and abrasions are a good way for bacteria to enter your body and dry hands and cuticles can be painful - so let's get fixing those hands! 

1. Moisturize 

The best thing you can do for your hands is moisturize them. Frequent handwashing is very drying so it is important to follow every hand wash with lotion. Try a DIY hand scrub to scrub away the dryness and start fresh - something as simple as brown sugar and coconut oil will do the trick! 

TOP TIP: Have a lotion next to every sink so you won't forget and don't have to look for it!

2. Use Warm Water 

Warm water is plenty warm enough to effectively wash your hands and is the recommended temperature for handwashing. Whereas washing with hot water strips moisture from your hands plus can cause irritation or burns. 

3. No Nail Biting 

Nothing is worse than unsightly and painful nails and cuticles. Keep those fingers out of your mouth - for your nails and your health! 

TOP TIP: Keeping your nails at a shorter, more manageable length can help to discourage nail biting. Plus, always carry nail clippers or a nail file so any broken nails can be taken care of immediately without biting. 

4. Cuticle Care 

Dry cuticles are flakey, peeling, hang nail prone cuticles. To keep your cuticles looking good be sure to use lots of lotion and cuticle oil! In addition, it's important to keep a pair of sharp cuticle nibbers on hand. Using nibbers to carefully and safely cut away dry cuticles and hang nails helps to stop tearing and prevent painful cuticles.

TOP TIP: Put cuticle oil on at night before bed so it can fully soak in as you sleep! 

5. Pretty Nails are Healthy Nails 

Right now long nails may not be the best choice for you. Our frequent hand washing can make nails dry and brittle leading to easy breakage. Shorter well shaped nails are easier to maintain than longer nails; uniform healthy nails are pretty nails.

6. Polish 

Grab some nail polish and make those nails shine! Make sure to thoroughly clean the nail before applying any polish and use base and top coats for a longer lasting manicure. If you're thinking of tackling some nail art check out my blog - 4 Tips for Beginner Nail Art! 

OH MY GOSH! Our clients are so excited to get back in our chairs, and man oh man we are so excited too! We were hoping to have more answers and start booking all you lovely people today. However 4 days have gone by and we still don't have clarity from our government.

Here's what's holding us back:

1. In order to serve our clients we will need to wear full PPE, this includes:

• Surgical/procedural masks
• Protective eyewear
• Face shields
• Aprons (not sure yet if the ones we already own will do)

      2. We will need to source all appropriate cleaning supplies

• Lysol Wipes
• Hand Sanitizer
• Etc.

      3. We are unsure if the government is going to push our industry into Phase 3 as there isn't yet clarification on whether our licenses fall under "Cosmetologist". 

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR MY APPOINTMENT?

When we open our doors to all of you beautiful humans things will not be business as usual, however we are committed to begin the booking process as soon as:

• we all have all the necessary equipment in hand
• re-opening plans are solid
• we feel 100% confident that we can safely open while maintaining the health and safety of our clients and staff
• as well as clarity on our licenses

SO WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

Get your name on our waitlist! By signing up for our waitlist, this let's us know you are:

• 100% comfortable returning to the salon
• excited to get your hair done
• provides information on your availability
• helps keep the order of the bookings fair, provides equal opportunity to everyone

So don't panic, we've got you, and we will take care of you. #noclientleftbehind

Hello clients, friends and family,

Again we'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support during the COVID-19 closure. Without your support we could have been in a much more difficult position. Your kindness has meant the world to us!

Our government has released information this morning in regards to re-opening dates. We do not have any information however about protocols, policies and procedures etc. Having our team and YOU, our community safe and comfortable is the most important thing. Right now we need much more information before we can be clear on when we will be open, and will not be taking appointments until things are more clear.

The SASO team will be meeting over the next few days to strategize our plans for when we will re-open and what that will look like. From the information we've been able to gather so far, it looks like things will be FAR from normal.

We have turned off online booking at this time to ensure we are able to re-book clients in order of clients that had appointments booked during the closure as well as clients who have been added to the waitlist.

IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE WAITLIST PLEASE ADD YOURSELF HERE.

​We've already received an overwhelming amount of messages, and we are just as excited to see you as you are to see us!! Seriously missing you all so much! However, we are going to pump the breaks for a few days here. Get a solid plan in place and then start contacting all of our clients starting next week.

Please give us grace while we navigate through the re-opening process.

All our love;

SASO Crew

Yesterday I was talking to my stylist pals from Vancouver, we were discussing the solutions we are providing to our clients during this time. My friend Kalli Wyssen from Artel Salon in Vancouver, BC let me know about this COLOR WOW product that her clients are loving. They sold out in the first day they made it available. 

The video speaks for itself, what a cool solution!! Thank you so much Eliza Trendiak for creating this video. 

Even though a lot of the world has shut down, a lot of people are still working from home and still need to attend Zoom meetings and need to look professional.

Do you relate?

We are offering safe doorstep delivery to Moose Jaw, Regina and most surrounding communities.

Stay safe, and healthy;
