Men’s hair deserves just as much attention and care as any other hair type. Whether you’re sporting a short, classic cut or growing out longer locks, the right routine and products can make all the difference. At Salon Society, we’re here to help you achieve healthy, well-groomed hair with expert advice and top-tier products from Kérastase.

Blonde hair is always in style, but 2025 is bringing fresh, modern takes on classic shades and techniques. Whether you're a lifelong blonde or thinking about making the switch, these trending looks are sure to inspire your next salon visit.

1. Luxe Vanilla Blonde
Cool, creamy, and effortlessly chic, vanilla blonde is set to be one of the most requested shades this year. This soft, neutral blonde works beautifully on all skin tones and gives off a naturally brightened effect.

2. Dimensional Honey Blonde
Warm tones are making a big comeback in 2025. Honey blonde features a rich, golden hue with natural-looking dimension that adds depth and movement to the hair. Perfect for those looking to enhance their glow!

3. Soft Ash Balayage
For those who love a cool-toned blonde but want low-maintenance color, ash balayage is the way to go. This subtle, lived-in blonde melts seamlessly into darker roots, giving a sun-kissed effect with a modern edge.

4. High-Contrast Platinum
Bold and icy, platinum blonde remains a favorite—but with a twist. This year, we’re seeing more contrast, with deeper roots or shadowed sections to create striking dimension and a more natural grow-out phase.

5. Champagne Blonde
A perfect blend of warm and cool tones, champagne blonde offers a sophisticated and versatile option. It’s a soft, sparkling shade that flatters a variety of complexions and adds a touch of elegance to any style.

6. Expensive Blonde
This trend is all about glossy, healthy-looking blonde with ultra-fine highlights that create a luxurious, natural-looking effect. Think high-end, low-maintenance blonde that radiates richness and shine.

Blonde Maintenance Tips
No matter which blonde shade you choose, keeping it fresh and vibrant requires proper care. Regular toning treatments, moisture-rich hair masks, and professional products designed for blonde hair will keep your color looking its best.

Layering hair products can transform your hair care routine, delivering optimal results for healthier, shinier, and more manageable locks. However, knowing the right order and combinations is key to avoiding product buildup or counterproductive effects. Here are some expert tips and tricks from Salon Society to help you master the art of product layering for your best hair yet.

Each hair product serves a specific purpose, whether it’s cleansing, hydrating, protecting, or styling. By layering them correctly, you ensure that each product performs as intended, enhancing the overall health and appearance of your hair. Proper layering also prevents weighing your hair down or causing residue buildup.

The Golden Rule of Layering: Always layer products from the lightest to the heaviest consistency. Lightweight products, such as sprays and serums, should go first to penetrate the hair shaft, followed by creams and oils that seal and protect. 

1. Precleanse and Double Shampoo
For the best cleanse, start with a precleanse or double shampoo routine to remove buildup and prepare your hair for treatments. This is especially important if you use styling products frequently or have an oily scalp.

• Precleanse: Use Kérastase Chronologiste Pré-Cleanse Régénérant to deeply cleanse the scalp and remove impurities, ensuring a fresh foundation for your hair care routine.
• Double Shampoo: Begin with a gentle shampoo for cleansing, followed by a targeted shampoo tailored to your hair’s needs. For instance, follow Kérastase Bain Vital Dermo-Calm with Kérastase Nutritive Bain Satin Shampoo for hydration.

2. Condition
Follow up with a conditioner or a deeply nourishing masque that addresses your hair’s specific concerns:

• Conditioner: Use Kérastase Elixir Ultime Fondant for intense hydration and detangling.
• Alternative: Opt for the Kérastase Chronologiste Masque Intense Régénérant as a luxurious alternative to conditioner. This masque provides deep nourishment, strengthens the hair fiber, and leaves your hair feeling silky and revitalized.

3. Prep with a Leave-In Treatment
After towel-drying your hair, apply a leave-in treatment to provide hydration and prepare your hair for styling. Some favorites include:

• K18 Leave-In Repair Mask for repairing and strengthening damaged hair.
• Initialiste Advanced Scalp and Hair Serum for promoting healthier hair growth.

You can layer leave-in products for maximum benefits: apply a scalp-focused serum, such as  Initialiste , to nourish and strengthen at the roots, and follow with a length-focused leave-in, like K18, to hydrate and protect your strands.

4. Detangle
Use a detangling spray or serum to gently remove knots and reduce breakage. Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid damaging your strands. Some great options include:

• Kérastase Discipline Fluidissime Anti-Frizz Spray to smooth and detangle unruly hair.
• Kérastase Nutritive Nectar Thermique for added nourishment and manageability.

Helpful Detangling Tips: Make sure to use a wide-tooth comb or detangle brush, be gentle, work in sections, and begin detangling from the ends and gradually move up towards the roots to avoid damage.

5. Protect
Always use a heat protectant before styling with hot tools. This step is non-negotiable to prevent damage from high temperatures. Try:

• Kérastase Ciment Thermique for repairing and protecting fragile hair.
• Kérastase Discipline Keratine Thermique for taming frizz and providing heat protection.

6. Style
Now it’s time to layer on your styling products:

• Volumizer or Mousse: Apply at the roots for lift and volume.
• Curl Cream or Gel: Work through the mid-lengths and ends for defined curls or waves.
• Smoothing Serum or Oil: Use sparingly on the ends to add shine and tame flyaways. We love Kérastase Elixir Ultime Oil for its lightweight yet luxurious finish.

​7. Finish
Seal your look with a finishing spray:

• Hairspray: To lock in your style and provide long-lasting hold.
• Texture Spray: For a tousled, lived-in look.
• Shine Spray: For a polished finish.

Maintaining healthy, vibrant hair is about more than just the right products and styling tools. Regular haircuts are a fundamental step in achieving and preserving the hair of your dreams. Whether you’re growing out your locks, maintaining a chic bob, or sporting a trendy pixie cut, scheduling regular trims is essential for a variety of reasons. Here’s why:

1. Prevent Split Ends
Split ends are one of the most common culprits behind unhealthy-looking hair. Once a strand splits, the damage can travel up the hair shaft, leading to breakage and frizz. Regular haircuts remove these split ends before they cause further damage, keeping your hair looking smooth and polished.

2. Promote Healthy Growth
While trimming your hair doesn’t directly speed up its growth, it does ensure that your hair grows out healthier. Removing damaged ends prevents breakage, allowing you to retain more length over time. Think of it as a fresh start for your hair every few weeks.

3. Maintain Shape and Style
A great haircut is the foundation of any hairstyle. Regular trims help maintain your style’s shape and structure, whether you’re rocking layers, bangs, or a blunt cut. Without regular maintenance, even the best styles can lose their luster.

4. Boost Volume and Manageability
Damaged or uneven ends can weigh your hair down, making it look limp and lifeless. A trim adds bounce and movement, giving your hair a fuller, healthier appearance. Plus, well-maintained hair is easier to style and manage on a daily basis.

5. Enhance Hair Health
When you’re consistent with trims, you’re also giving your stylist the opportunity to assess your hair’s overall health. They can offer personalized advice on products, treatments, or adjustments to your routine to keep your hair looking and feeling its best.

6. Address Seasonal Damage
Hair faces different challenges depending on the season. From summer’s sun and chlorine to winter’s dryness and static, regular haircuts can help combat the damage caused by changing weather conditions.

7. Invest in Self-Care
Finally, a regular haircut is more than just maintenance — it’s a moment of self-care. Visiting your stylist offers a chance to relax, refresh, and leave feeling confident and renewed.

How Often Should You Get a Haircut?
The frequency of your trims depends on your hair type, texture, and goals. Chat with your stylist about a maintenance routine that is right for your hair goals!

Hair colour can be transformative, enhancing your overall look and boosting your confidence. While DIY hair color kits may seem tempting for their convenience and affordability, they come with risks that can lead to disappointing results. Investing in professional hair colour services is not only a safer choice but also offers numerous benefits that at-home options simply can’t match. Here’s why trusting the experts is the best decision for your hair:

1. Customized Colour Solutions
Professional stylists assess your hair type, texture, and colour history to create a personalized formula that suits your unique needs. Whether you’re looking for a bold new hue, natural highlights, or colour correction, a pro ensures the results align with your vision while enhancing your natural beauty.

2. Guaranteed Quality and Precision
Achieving consistent, even colour can be challenging with DIY kits. Professionals use high-quality products and advanced techniques to deliver flawless results. From balayage to root touch-ups, their expertise minimizes the risk of patchiness, uneven tones, or unwanted surprises.

3. Minimized Hair Damage
Improper application of at-home colour can lead to severe damage, including dryness, breakage, or chemical burns. Professional colourists understand how to work with different hair types and conditions, using products and methods that protect and nourish your strands while achieving the desired look.

4. Access to Professional-Grade Products
Salon-quality colour products contain superior ingredients that provide longer-lasting results and richer, more vibrant tones. These products often include conditioning agents that improve your hair’s health and shine, something you won’t find in most box dyes.

5. Safe Colour Correction
If you’ve ever experienced a DIY disaster, you know how tricky colour correction can be. Professional colourists have the skills and tools to safely fix uneven, brassy, or over-processed hair, restoring it to a beautiful and healthy state.

6. Stay on Trend
Professionals stay up-to-date with the latest colour trends and techniques, from subtle ombrés to vibrant fashion colours. Their expertise ensures you’ll leave the salon with a modern, on-trend look tailored to your personal style.

7. Longer-Lasting Results
Professional colour services often outlast DIY options, saving you time and money in the long run. With the right aftercare advice and products provided by your stylist, your colour will remain vibrant and fresh for weeks to come.

8. Relaxation and Self-Care
A visit to the salon is more than just a service; it’s an experience. Enjoy the pampering, the professional advice, and the confidence boost that comes with knowing your hair is in expert hands.

Finding the right hairstylist is more than just locating someone who knows how to cut or color hair. It’s about building a relationship with someone who understands your personal style, hair goals, and lifestyle. Whether you’ve recently moved to a new city or are simply ready for a change, here’s a step-by-step guide to finding a hairstylist you can truly trust.

1. Research Local Salons
Start by researching salons in your area. Look for salons with strong reputations, like those with awards or accolades (e.g., the Best of Regina awards). Check their websites and social media accounts to get a feel for their services, aesthetic, and team dynamics. A salon that prioritizes creativity, collaboration, and a welcoming atmosphere is a great place to start!

2. Ask for Recommendations
Word of mouth is a powerful tool. Ask friends, family, or coworkers (or even strangers!) whose hair you love for recommendations. Their firsthand experiences can give you insights into the hairstylist’s skills, professionalism, and personality.

3. Read Online Reviews
Online reviews on platforms like Google can provide valuable feedback about a stylist’s expertise and the overall salon experience. Look for reviews that mention trust, communication, and consistent results.

4. Check Out Their Portfolio
Many hairstylists showcase their work on Instagram or other platforms. Look through their portfolio to see if their style aligns with your vision. Whether you’re looking for precision cuts, blonding, creative colors, or extensions, their past work should inspire confidence.

Hot Tip: Website bios are a great spot to learn more about your stylist too. Look to see if their education and specialties are a match for your needs!

5. Book a Consultation
Before committing to a service, schedule a consultation. This is your opportunity to meet the stylist, discuss your hair goals, chat about budget, and assess their communication style. A great hairstylist will take the time to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and make recommendations based on your hair history and lifestyle.

6. Consider the Salon Experience
Trust goes beyond technical skills. The overall salon experience should make you feel comfortable and valued. A welcoming, inclusive environment with attentive staff sets the tone for a positive relationship.

7. Start Small
If you’re hesitant, start with a smaller service, such as a maintenance haircut or a blowout, to test the waters. This allows you to experience the stylist’s technique and personality without a major commitment.

8. Communicate Openly
Trust is built on clear communication. Be honest about your hair history, styling habits, and expectations. You and your stylist are working as a team – no keeping secrets about a DIY colour disaster!! A great stylist will appreciate your transparency, listen without judgement, and work with you to achieve your desired results.

Finding a hairstylist you can trust may require a bit of research and trial, but the reward is a partnership that leaves you feeling confident and beautiful. At Salon Society, we pride ourselves on creating a luxurious, inclusive experience that prioritizes creativity and collaboration. Whether you’re looking for a new style or maintaining your signature look, our talented team is here to help.

Winter weather can be brutal on your scalp. The combination of cold air outside and dry, heated air indoors often leads to dryness, flakiness, and discomfort. At Salon Society, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy scalp, especially during the colder months.

Hair extensions are a fantastic way to enhance your hair’s length, volume, and overall style. With various methods and types available, it’s essential to choose the right extension that suits your lifestyle and hair type. If you’re new to hair extensions, this guide will help you understand the basics, including tape-in extensions, wefts, and nano extensions.
​

Hair extensions are strands of additional hair that are applied to your natural hair to enhance its length, volume, or thickness. They come in various types, including tape-in extensions, wefts, and nano extensions, offering different methods of attachment and styles to suit your unique needs and preferences. 

What Are They? Tape-in extensions are pre-taped wefts of hair that are applied by sandwiching small sections of your natural hair between two wefts. The adhesive is lightweight yet strong, ensuring the extensions stay in place.

• Pros:
  • Quick and easy to install.
  • Lightweight and comfortable.
  • Ideal for adding length and volume without damaging your hair.
  • Reusable with proper care.
  • Perfect for bright vivid pops of colour without the full commitment!
• Maintenance: Tape-ins need adjustment every 6-8 weeks as your natural hair grows. They’re easy to care for but require sulfate-free shampoos and gentle handling to avoid loosening the adhesive.

When deciding on the best type of extensions there is a lot to consider: hair type, lifestyle, budget, desired results – this is why we offer free consultations & colour match appointments. Our expert stylists will help you choose the best option to achieve your desired look while maintaining the health of your natural hair.

Colour Analysis is something that got a lot of attention in 2024 and we will definitely be seeing more of it in 2025! When it comes to transforming your look, few things make as big an impact as changing your hair colour. However, choosing the right shade can feel overwhelming with so many options available. That’s where colour analysis comes in. This method helps you determine which tones complement your natural features, ensuring your new hair colour enhances your beauty rather than overpowering it. At Salon Society, we’re passionate about helping you achieve stunning results—here’s how you can use colour analysis to find your perfect hue and how your hairstylist plays a vital role in the process:

First, What is Colour Analysis?
​
Colour analysis, often referred to as seasonal colour theory, involves examining your skin tone, eye colour, and natural hair colour to determine a palette of colours that best suit you. This method categorizes individuals into four main seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—each with its own range of tones:

• Spring: Warm undertones with lighter features, such as golden blonde hair and peachy skin. These individuals shine in warm, bright, and golden shades.
• Summer: Cool undertones with soft features, such as ash-blonde hair and rosy skin. Summer types look best in cool, muted, and pastel colours.
• Autumn: Warm undertones with rich features, such as auburn hair and olive skin. These individuals suit warm, earthy, and deep tones.
• Winter: Cool undertones with striking features, such as dark hair and porcelain skin. Winter types dazzle in cool, bold, and vibrant shades.

Understanding your “season” allows you to identify hair colours that naturally enhance your complexion and make your features pop.

How to Determine Your Season

1. Identify Your Skin Tone: Is your skin’s undertone warm (yellow or golden), cool (pink or blue), or neutral? Your undertone plays a significant role in determining your ideal colour palette.
2. Examine Your Natural Hair Colour: Your existing hair colour provides clues about which tones will complement you best. For instance, a natural ash brown may pair well with cool, ashy highlights.
3. Observe Your Eye Colour: The undertones in your eyes—whether they’re warm (golden brown, hazel) or cool (blue, gray-green)—offer insight into your overall palette.
4. Test Colours: Hold swatches of different hair shades near your face to see how they interact with your skin. A hairstylist’s trained eye can help you identify which shades bring out your natural glow.

Why Your Natural Hair Color Is a Great Starting Point

Your natural hair color is a reflection of your unique complexion and features. It harmonizes with your skin tone and eye color, creating a balanced and cohesive appearance. While experimenting with bold changes can be fun, enhancing your existing shade often results in the most flattering and effortless look.

Color analysis trends for 2025 emphasize working with your unique palette to create authentic, timeless beauty. This approach highlights the tones and shades that best suit your skin and features, helping stylists bring out your natural beauty while aligning with current trends.
