Hello lovelies! It’s your girl Katie from Salon Society here to chat today about something that many people struggle with, and that’s hair fall. It can be super stressful to start noticing more of your hair falling out, and since stress can also cause hair fall, this can end up being a vicious cycle. But worry not! We have tried many products and would love to share some tricks and habits that can help alleviate these issues. We know some products feel more intimidating to try than others, and anti-fall hair products often fit into that category! Here are three signs that anti-fall hair products may be right for you: 1. Noticing more and more hair being left behind in your brush? Are you able to make an entire Picasso art piece on your shower wall?
2. You notice your hair is thinning in the front
3. Environmental, mechanical, or emotional stressors, and hormonal changes ![]() Maybe you just welcomed your new bundle of joy into the world, and now your hair is coming out in clumps. Mama, it’ll be okay! Or maybe your job has you stressed, your dog won’t stop chewing your shoes and nobody knows how to use their gosh-darn turn signal - and now your hair is falling out. Babe, let me take a load off for you. There are so many reasons for hair fall, including but absolutely not limited to hormonal changes (postpartum, new birth control, etc.), mechanical stress (brushing or tugging), environmental (changes in weather/seasons), medications, and surgery. When we see major changes in our body, unfortunately, our hair often suffers. That’s why I would recommend Genesis Anti-Casse Fortifiantes Ampoules. They have a concentrated version of the serum which is applied twice daily for six weeks to really get to the root of the issue (no pun intended). I have personally seen fantastic results from these babies, and they have lasted me so much longer than I thought they would! If you feel like any of these signs apply to you, or if you have more questions about hair fall and how to treat it - please send me a DM! You can also book a free consultation with me at the salon, where we can sit down and chat about your hair history, routine, and goals! I would love to help you and be a part of your hair journey!

We have gifts that will suit the whole family -- seriously check out this blog with our Salon Society Gift Ideas!! Hey friends! Hope here from Salon Society to chat about brow laminations, and what you should know before your first service. Let's get right into it!!
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR A BROW LAMINATION? Brow Lamination is a chemical process, meaning there are a couple of things we need to do & avoid to prepare for our appointment!
HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY LAMINATED BROWS?Aftercare is the most crucial part of a lasting, gorgeous brow lamination. It is essential to avoid water for 24 hours after. This includes avoiding steam rooms, saunas, hot showers, & excessive sweating. After 24 hours, those brows need HYDRATION. This means applying oil regularly! Think of a lamination like lightening your hair. Because it has gone through a chemical process, it needs a little extra TLC. Still have some questions? Come visit me for a complimentary brow consultation & let’s chat about the best brow service for you!
Acne affects so many individuals globally, however, individuals with melanin-rich skin can be more susceptible to acne. Specifically, darker complexions are prone to dark marks, scars, or even keloids from breakouts. But why? In darker complexions, melanin (what colours our skin & hair) also protects us from harsh UV rays & inflammation. If you’ve ever had one of those large & in-charge breakouts, you know inflammation from acne is no joke. When our skin gets inflamed, it produces melanin to protect us - and this is how we get those pesky dark spots. But how do I treat it? Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation, a.k.a. PIH or dark spots, will fade naturally after the underlying inflammation is controlled. However, there are some products we can use to speed up this process! My favourites are Retinol Clearing Oil & Daily Microfoliant from Dermalogica! Retinol Clearing Oil contains both retinol and salicylic acid to optimize skin recovery, reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, & target active breakouts. Daily Microfoliant is a rice-based powder exfoliant. It contains an ingredient called Phytic Acid which helps immensely with the appearance of hyperpigmentation. If you’re a skincare junkie like me, I also use the whole Powerbright line from Dermalogica as well. Remember with PIH, dark spots often start to look worse before better - so keep up with that routine! If you are wondering what kinds of products are right for you, come see me for a complimentary skin consultation!
Hey guys!! It's Ailesh from Salon Society here, writing to you all the way from Ottawa. With the major distance, I have to plan my new product purchases with a little more care when shopping from our online boutique… otherwise I would be making some major splurges every week!! I wash my hair 1-2 times a week and am a shampoo + hair masque kinda gal. As I aim to only wash my hair 1x a week (and yes, I do bathe + shower throughout the week without washing my hair haha I am not a dirty gremlin the rest of the time), I really want to maximize the nourishment my hair gets during this treatment!
SO when I learned that Kérastase's Chronologiste Masque Intense Régénérant is designed for regular use after shampooing, I was pretty excited!! PLUS this hair masque came to me pretty highly recommended - Nadine absolutely raves about it which sold me on it. I was already very impressed with the Chronologiste Nourishing Hair Oil (such a LOVELY hair oil) so I was very excited to check out a product coming with such high hype… and ohhhh mannnn did it ever live up to it! |
