This line is intended for anyone and everyone, of all hair types. It has a large range of products of all varieties that silken and detangle hair while helping to repair and protect against everyday aggressors.

OK, so your stylist has converted you using amazing salon-quality products and you can now navigate that drugstore aisle like a pro:
​
“Not today, Head & Shoulders!”
“Box dye? No beuno.”

…but wait a minute, is that *insert fancy product name* being sold in my local drugstore?!?
We get it, it’s confusing. But, as with many things, luxury salon brands available at a drugstore is too good to be true. BUT I'M SEEING IT WITH MY OWN EYES – how?

​This question has an answer that can be summed up in one word: DIVERGENCE.

​Before going forwards, let's take a step back to the behind-the-scenes of salon retail. As a salon, when we decide to bring in a new luxury product line, we need to apply for the right to do so – and they can say no! 
For example, when Salon Society wanted to partner with Oribe, we needed to communicate with the Oribe brand reps to be sure that we would be a good fit! These luxury brands want to be sure that the salons that carry their products are able to properly use, educate, sell, and represent the brand as an ambassador.
As you can imagine, these types of brands also commit to not selling their products to drugstores/major retailers. Additionally, many of these brands invest time and money into the prevention and interruption of unauthorized sales to avoid unhappy customers or damage to their brand. When you find luxury brands on Amazon or in Walmart, what is actually being sold is a diverted product.
​

​
So that’s the nitty-gritty of it – when you find these diverted products you are really rolling the dice on whether or not you are getting what you’re paying for!

And with that, we are ready to rock! It is time to jump into a regime that works for you and your colour.

​Still have questions? Post them in the comments below! 

Let’s jump into the science behind these ingredients:

A combination of ginger root, creatine, and expanding polymer instantly offers hair more volume by strengthening the hair fibres and plumping the hair. Aminexil is the star ingredient featured in the Genesis Homme serum that prevents hair loss. Using the full Genesis Homme product line gives your hair a cocktail of goodness resulting in hair that will look fuller in no time.

​GINGER ROOT provides a number of benefits for hair. First, it stimulates blood flow which leads to increased hair growth. Second, ginger root has been shown to reduce scalp problems, like dandruff, thanks to its antimicrobial properties. Third, it is an antioxidant which helps prevent split ends and breakage. And finally, the fatty acid chains in ginger root act as a deep conditioner for creating strong, healthy hair!

CREATINE repairs and strengthens hair fibres from the inside out. Creatine is a naturally-occurring derivative of amino acids, whose purpose in hair products is to help to boost cell metabolism and deeply moisturize dry scalps and hair. It also provides protection against heat damage and harmful UV rays. All of these benefits lead to fuller hair!
​
AMINEXIL is a bit of a superstar around here. It works by widening the blood vessels and promoting greater blood flow to the hair follicles - and of course more blood flow = more nutrients = happy hair! Aminexil works to prevent hair loss while stimulating re-growth, resulting in longer, thicker, and fuller hair. Additionally, Aminexil creates a more supple, hospitable scalp environment by gently melting collagen buildup that can otherwise harden causing breakage and damage.
​

Fun Fact: Research has shown that Aminexil counteracts hair loss in the Spring and maintains hair density in the Fall, a process influenced by the different phases of hair growth

​The Genesis Homme range includes two shampoos formulated for men's hair loss concerns.
​
​Bain de Force Quotidien + Bain de Masse Épaississant
​

Blondes, are you ready to be unbreakable? With the launch of the new OLAPLEX Nº.4P, blondes, lightened hair and grey haired beauties are seeing brighter tones like never before. We cracked the code using our patented bond-building chemistry to create a purple shampoo that’s gentle on the hair, hydrating, and reparative.


Nº.4P repairs cleanses and tones with patented OLAPLEX technology for all blondes, lightened, and grey hair. While hydrating, Nº.4P neutralizes brassiness and brightens blonde. The highly concentrated pigment allows customizable toning levels ideal for medium to light blonde tones (levels 7 and up) in which yellow or brassy tones need to be controlled. Compared to top purple shampoos, users found their hair 3x brighter using OLAPLEX Nº.4P. The longer you treat, the brighter the toning results.


Inspired by salons, proven by science. No.4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo combines a high amount of pigment concentration with our patented bond-building technology & mild surfactants to provide a highly concentrated purple shampoo to deliver 3X brighter results (compared to top brands), yet gentle enough for frequent use (we recommend 2-3x weekly).


Directions:

1. Apply to wet hair. Lather thoroughly and let process 1-3 minutes. Rinse. For more intense toning, leave on hair for up to 5 minutes. 
   
   
2. Follow with Nº.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner for everyday moisture or Nº.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask for Extra hydration.
   ​

** Pro tip: Pre-wash with Nº.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo to remove product build-up.

HEY BABES!

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 .

Heat is easily the most common method of styling hair; from blow drying to flat ironing, curling to crimping- our hair sees it all. If you’ve ever wondered the best ways to protect your hair from the damage that these beautiful styles cause, this blog is for you!

• Invest in quality hot tools! They are worth the money every time, and last much longer than the competitors. Having professional hot tools will help prevent your iron from overheating and causing unnecessary damage.
• Heat protection is everything! Use this in your hair consistently before styling and you will notice a huge difference- salon grade heat protection will cover up to 450° and come in a wide variety of lotions or wet and dry sprays. They are an absolute lifesaver for your hair!
• Avoid the 450° setting! Even with a great heat protectant, don't cook your hair at the same temperature you cook a pizza! For curls trying keeping your iron at 390° and for straightening try 365°.
• Let your style set! When you finish heat styling your hair, leave it be for 10 minutes before brushing and adding your final products. Allowing your hair to cool down in place will make your style hold for days to come.
• Try to avoid using heat daily! Set a hair wash schedule that works for you and try different heatless options of styling on days that you can; for example if you curled your hair on day 1, rock a half pony on day 2, and messy bun or braid on day 3. We tend to over iron the pieces of hair around our face which causes breakage. Making an effort to get more days out of your style will result in much happier hair! 

    
Consistency is key when seeing results in heat styling, but I promise, the little extra steps make a world of difference. Put that heat protectant on, style those beautiful locks, and go through the weak hair whipping like the goddess you are (or you know, put your hair in a messy bun because quarantine, totally your call!). 

​Let’s talk about naturally curly hair!! At Salon Society, we have several Curly Hair Specialists. These stylists have experience and training in how to make curly hair look its absolute best! 

We know that curls can be temperamental, but we also know that the key to rocking curls and making them look their best is education - we’ll let you in on our curly hair secrets!

​Pro-Tips for getting the most out of your curls:

• Swap that regular towel out for a microfibre towel or a cotton t-shirt. Using a microfibre towel or cotton t-shirt will prevent your hair snagging and reduce breakage. 
  
  
• Take a break from your blow dryer for a hot girl summer and go steady with it (and a diffuser) in the winter. 
  
  
• Detangle before and during showering with a wide tooth comb. Using your comb this way will reduce knotting and help eliminate all of those shedding hairs. 
  
  
• Use your wet brush to avoid breakage and Kelly Knowles Unraveler to boost curl definition. 
  
  
• Wearing a silk cap/bonnet to bed is truly life-changing and protects your curls from frizz & flattening overnight.
  
  
• Keep your paws off your hair! The less you touch your curls the happier they will be!!

Those are all our hidden secrets about curly hair and how to treat those locks with the care they deserve. If you have any questions about your curls, comment, come in to see any of our curl specialists!
