Ask a Stylist: Hair Masks

8/7/2022

0 Comments

 
​So we all know that hair masks are great and that they are SO beneficial for our hair… but how am I supposed to be using them? Is this like an everyday thing? Is this a one size fits all? Wait, was I supposed to put conditioner in after I rinsed it out? WAS I SUPPOSED TO RINSE IT OUT???


​…If you have ever wondered if you were doing things right, you are not alone! A lovely client recently reached out to her Salon Society stylist after receiving a sample Kérastase hair mask in her online order with very similar questions, which started us thinking about all the FAQs regarding hair masks we get at Salon Society on the regular. Then we took this list to our girl (and Master Hair Artist) 
Shanna and had her give us the answers!

And now we have created this ultimate hair mask rundown:
Picture
How often should you use a hair mask?
Depends how often you wash your hair! If you wash it about once a week, use a mask every other time you wash. If you wash your hair more often, like every day or every other day, use a mask once per week. Also, don't wash your hair every day!
​
​Does a hair mask replace conditioner?

A GUIDE TO: PURCHASING A MARRIAGE LICENSE

PURCHASING A MARRIAGE LICENSE:

In Saskatchewan, couples who want to marry must purchase a Saskatchewan Marriage License.
A marriage license is only valid for a period of three months, or 90 days.  The marriage license becomes effective the day after it is purchased. Therefore, the marriage license can be purchased anywhere from one day to 90 days prior to the wedding ceremony.

The fee to purchase a marriage license is $60.

Your marriage license can be purchased in Regina, it takes minutes to complete. Both you and your partner need to be present, along with two pieces of government issued identification (one with photo identification). If you were like me and didn't have your middle name listed on your passport, be sure to bring a document that DOES list your middle name.

Lists of places to purchase marriage licenses in REGINA, SK:

  • A Tymeless Event (by appointment only)
  • Aurelia Goldsmith Bullion Broker
  • Madni Islamic Centre & Mosque
  • Notary Public Regina
  • Paper Umbrella
  • Paris Jewellers (Southland Mall)
  • Quality Goldsmiths Ltd.

HOW TO GIVE YOURSELF A BLOWOUT

5/16/2020

EXPERT OPINION:
SHANNA WATTS LEAD HAIR ARTIST

SALON SOCIETY

1368 ROSE STREET, REGINA, SASKATCHEWAN

Shanna Watts
Hey there! We have opened our salon (yay) and you have booked your appointment to get your roots done, but until then... here’s a blog post all about BLOWOUTS. How to maintain your locks, and attempt your blowout at home while waiting for your appointment.
1st step: As soon as I get out of the shower I ring out my hair and brush through a few of my favourite products. Right now I use Olaplex #6 (works great to detangle) and a dime size of Kevin Murphy Young Again Oil on my ends.

2nd step: I always let my hair dry to about 70-80% with the product already combed through to maintain frizz. I put on my makeup, get dressed, eat breakfast, and by then it is dry enough to start!
​
3rd step: Before blow drying, I spray my hair with a heat protectant! I use Kevin Murphy Heated Defense. I section out my hair and clip the rest on top. Don’t hold the blow dryer so that it’s touching the brush, hold it just an inch or two away from your hair. 
​HOT TIP: I always try to hold my brush so that the handle is pointing forward. For me, it makes things feel less awkward!
​4th step: I take the next section of hair and do the same thing. If you can’t do the back, it’s easier to pull your hair all to the front! For the top back section I will pull my section of hair straight up with my brush and blow dry to increase the volume. 
5th step: For my bang area I like to blow dry my hair away from my face. Just so that it doesn’t curl completely under and I get a little volume at the root. Finish it off with a light hairspray, my favourite is Kevin Murphy Bedroom Hair.
Practice makes perfect, I promise! It’s a little tricky to figure out how to hold a brush and the blow dryer and make sure your hair isn’t flying everywhere... but find what is comfortable for you and go with that! And if not, we’ll be here to save you. ️ 


See you very soon, Shanna <3

4 TIPS FOR BEGINNER NAIL ART

​Hey there! ​Ailesh here from Salon Society in Regina, Saskatchewan.

For my first ever blog post I decided to write about something I am very passionate about - nail art. I love trying new things, keeping up with nail trends, and learning new techniques. I know first-hand how daunting nail art can seem, especially when you're just starting out, so I've put together my top tips for beginners to nail art - I hope you enjoy them! 
Picture
​1. Keep It Simple
If you are just starting out keep it simple and easy. Classic designs like polka dots, hearts, and flowers are a great starting point and will help to hone your fine motor skills. 
Picture
​2. Add A Twist
Find an simple design and jazz it up with a twist. For example, layering different coloured polka dots. Adding a matte top coat is another easy way to transform a look! 
Picture
​3. Perfectly Imperfect
Aim for designs that don't require perfection. Instead, try looks that allow for imperfection from nail to nail - think bold brush strokes, abstract designs, and mixing textures and patterns. This is especially helpful if you are trying to do nail art on both hands but aren't comfortably ambidextrous yet. 
Picture
4. Go All Out (Almost) 
Go all out, full crazy nail art - on one hand. Use your dominant hand to create the nail art of your dreams on one hand. Then using your non-dominant hand, paint simple solid coloured nails in a colour that compliments the design hand.

7 EASY STEPS FOR THE PERFECT BEARD

​Heya for those of you who don’t know me yet I'm Aaron Brousseau and I’m a Lead Hair Artist at Salon Society in Regina, Saskatchewan. 


If you’ve ever visited our beautiful space at 1368 Rose Street, you’ve probably seen me or at least experienced my larger than life personality! One of the things I’m known for is my eccentric facial hair. That is (most of the time) meticulously groomed. The question I get asked the most is “how long does that take?” or “how do you get it to do that?” I usually keep the answers short and sweet but today I’m going to show you all my secrets on how to style the perfect beard. 
  • Wash and rinse with your favourite shampoo and conditioner, mine is KM Hydrate me wash and rinse or KM Stimulate me wash and rinse.
  • Use a cream-based styling balm to detangle and  hydrate. I use Olaplex #6 for its ability to keep the frizz away and gives added heat protection. 
  • Apply a hair oil liberally. My pick is the young again oil from KM this will hydrate and moisturize and help keep your skin from getting dry and flaky.

  • Comb beard outward and trim unruly hair. Keep scissors running parallel with your beard or you might accidentally cut too much off. Don’t pull hair out with tension to cut it or you will have chunks missing when you comb it back into place. 
  • Heat style, I use a round brush when I blow dry my mustache (that’s the best way to shape my magnificent handle bars) And my hands or a flat brush on the rest of my beard. 
  • Style mustache with hard hold gel. Got2be Glued spiker has been my go to for years.
  • Then smooth out remaining fly away hair with a med hold balm, The KM Free hold is perfect for locking down the unruly stubborn hairs. It leave your beard feeling soft and smelling great. 
And there you have it the perfect beard that feels, smells, and looks amazing!

Shanna, Journeyman Hairstylist at Salon Society, Regina, Sask
Hey there, my name is Shanna Watts! I’m a Lead Hair Artist at Salon Society in Regina, SK. Some of you may know me, but for those of you that don’t... here are a few facts about me:

  • I have been doing hair for 4 years, and received my journeyman designation in 2019
  • I grew up in Raymore, SK (small town girl, not farm girl lol)
  • I have a four month old puppy named Duffy who I am obsessed with

This blog post is going to be a few tips on how to style your hair without putting any heat on it. During this quarantine period, there’s no real reason to be putting heat on your hair. It’s the perfect time to give your hair a break! But if you’re like me who has crazy/curly/frizzy hair, you’ll need to do SOMETHING to it to feel human everyday.

3 MUSTS TO MANAGE THICK HAIR

4/16/2020

0 Comments

 

SALON SOCIETY

1368 ROSE STREET, REGINA, SASKATCHEWAN

Today I sat down to write my first blog post ever, and I decided to go with something that I have had
a lifetime of experience with – thick hair. My love/hate relationship with my frizzy, thick hair started at a young age, and since then I have done just about everything to it (from bleaching it, to shaving it, my poor hair has seen it all) – however, no matter the length or colour, my favourite hair care tips remain the same.
  • ROUTINE: This means figuring out your hair wash days (and times) ahead of schedule. For us thick haired people, this takes the panic out of waking up in the morning, greasy, and knowing that if you try to just ‘hop in the shower quick’ before work- you’re going to end up looking like a miniature lion with a wet nape section at your 3:00 meeting with the boss. ROUTINE has literally saved my life as a thick haired gal.
  • SULPHATE FREE SHAMPOO AND QUALITY HAIR PRODUCTS: Although this may sound obvious, it really is one of the best things for managing thick hair. Sulphate free shampoos maintain the natural oils on your hair and scalp, leaving your hair with more moisture and less frizz.
  • DETANGLING SPRAY AND A WET BRUSH: Pain free out-of-shower hair brushing, need I say more?

There we have it; those are my top 3 tips for embracing the blessing in disguise that is thick hair!
