We are very excited that we are now offering Sugaring & Waxing at Salon Society – but how do they work, and what’s the difference? Let's find out! 
Waxing and sugaring differ mainly in the mixtures' ingredients. The sugaring process is also done at room temperature, while waxing tends to be hot, thus the term 'hot wax'. And that’s all there is to it - the rest comes down to preference!

New to Salon Society: OxyGeneo Facials
OK, FIRST THINGS FIRST: WHAT IS AN OXYGENEO FACIAL?The OxyGeneo is an innovative facial that delivers 3 skin renewing anti-aging treatments simultaneously: exfoliation, infusion, and oxygenation. This combination improves skin tone, evens texture and nourishes the complexion giving a balanced healthy glow. Tiny carbon dioxide bubbles are produced and burst on the surface of the skin triggering the body’s natural response to flood the area with oxygen-rich blood, healing skin from within. This results in maximum absorption of active nutrients that are applied to the face.

Stay tuned for further breakdowns of each product line with details about the products available from each collection! BY AILESH ABRAMS 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! 
Are you tired of your colour fading?? Well, we have great news for you!

The new Everlasting Colour line features a shampoo, conditioner, leave-in spray, and a set of nourishing treatment shots.
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! Purple shampoo, it's basically every Blonde's best friend, right? Yes! …but also no. Let’s talk about purple shampoo.
Luckily, it is easy to avoid causing damage with purple shampoo – you just have to remember a few guidelines:
OKAY COOL - BUT HOW DOES IT WORK?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 ABOUT THE PRODUCTS |

We are so excited to introduce Kérastase's brand-new range of hair care products: Genesis Homme.
As the French name implies, the line is specifically designed for men's hair (Homme = man), with a focus on hair that is weakened and/or thinning. It is estimated that around 1/3 of men may experience hair loss by the age of 30. Contrary to popular belief, male hair loss is not all genetic - much of the hair loss experienced by men is actually caused by routine - that is why it is so important to use an appropriate hair care regime.
The Genesis Homme range shares similar anti-hair-fall properties with its counterpart, Genesis, but features a warmer scent with woody notes such as amber.

KEY INGREDIENTS:
 | The range was formulated with the intention of instantly providing hair with more fullness and volume by thickening each hair fibre, strengthening the hair from the inside out, using these key ingredients:
|
All in all, the range has shown great success in clinical and instrumental tests by Kérastase, with reduced hair loss in 6 weeks, 5x fuller hair, and 85% more hair fibre strength.
Now let's give you a rundown of the product lineup:
| 1. Bain de Force Quotidien Shampoo Translation: Daily Strengthening Shampoo This shampoo is designed for weak, thinning hair. It gently clarifies hair, scalps, and beards for stronger, healthy thick hair. |  |
 | 2. Bain De Masse Épaississant Shampoo Translation: Mass Thickening Shampoo This daily shampoo helps to thicken hair and strengthen hair fibres to prevent breakage. It gives instant volume and provides texture to flat hair. |
| 3. Spray de Force Épaississant Translation: Thickening Strength Spray For instant volume, the non-sticky strength-boosting spray thickens every hair strand for textured, full hair while protecting against hair-fall. |  |
 | 4. Cire d'Épaisseur Texturisante Translation: Texturizing Thickening Wax For styling, this wax helps to thicken hair fibres while providing a medium, flexible hold. Just work it through dry hair and style to your liking! |
| 5. Sérum Anti-Chute Fortifiant Translation: Fortifying Anti-Hair Loss Serum The ultimate at-home treatment for hair loss, with clinical results of reducing hair-fall after 6 weeks of use. This serum helps to slow down the shedding process, reinforce hair's anchorage to the scalp, and soothe scalp itchiness. |  |

| #1. We need to stop using drug store products… Like now… men too… they are evil moisture stripping, scalp and hair drying, colour damaging scams that ruin our hair. Yes the price is enticing but no that doesn’t mean we should be using it. |
| #2. HEAT PROTECTANT IS LIFE! Not only does it protect your hair (important), it also helps to extend the life of your heat styling and cuts back on the frizz and flyaways! |  |
 | #3. Double shampoo every time you wash your hair. Weird I know, but it makes a difference in cleansing, softness, and shine! |
| Now I know I just said double shampoo every time you wash - however you should not be washing your hair every day (secret tip in a tip). “But Ailesh I NEED to wash my hair every day!” - AHA introducing tip: |
| #4. Co-washing! To put it simply, co-washing is the act of washing your hair with just conditioner, so that you aren't stripping your hair and scalp of its natural oils. Many shampoos (cough cough tip #1) are formulated with sulphates- detergents that clean hair thoroughly, which strip the natural oils from the hair strands and leave them prone to breakage. By skipping shampoo in your co-washing regime your hair will stop overproducing oil and balance out it's oil production over time! |  |
 | #5. Get your coworkers to wash your hair when you’re too tired or lazy to do it… Sorry this a SASO employee only type of perk! HOWEVER, clients can join our club with a SASO Blowout Membership - you get the hair wash, head massage, plus a blowout + style that lasts for days and days (and days and days with some dry shampoo action)! |
And there you have it - five insider tips you learn working at a hair salon!

Two of Kerastase's most popular heat protectants are the Genesis Défense Thermique and the Chroma Absolu Serum Chroma Thermique. While using any heat protectant is a must when using hot tools, we are going to break down the differences to help you decide which is best for your hair.
Both thermiques smooth the surface of the hair fibre and provide heat, humidity, and frizz protection.
Defense Thermique comes from Kerastase's Genesis range, which was developed specifically to prevent hair-fall and strengthen hair. This lightweight, leave-in lotion helps to fortify your hair fibre while protecting it from heat damage.
Serum Chroma Thermique is the heat protectant from the new Chroma Absolu line, which was created for coloured or sensitized hair to preserve colour from fading and increase shine, all while protecting from heat damage.
Which heat protectant is right for your hair?
If you suffer from hair loss, hair-fall, or breakage, Genesis Defense Thermique is your best choice.
If your hair is colour-treated, Chroma Absolu Serum Chroma Thermique is for you.
