End Summer Beautifully with Shine☀️✨

Keep Your Summer Glow Going: Why August Is the Perfect Time for a Hair Refresh

As summer winds down, it's the perfect time to give your hair a little extra love. Between sunshine, pool days, beach trips, and heat styling, your color can start to lose its vibrancy, leaving highlights looking dull or brassy. The good news? You don't have to wait until your next full color appointment to fall back in love with your hair.

Our Highlight Maintenance Package is the perfect in-between service to keep your color looking fresh and radiant. Featuring a customized Redken Shades EQ Hair Gloss, this treatment is designed to revive faded highlights, tone unwanted warmth, and add incredible shine—all while improving the overall look and feel of your hair.

Why You'll Love a Shades EQ Hair Gloss

A Shades EQ Hair Gloss is one of our favorite ways to maintain beautiful color between appointments because it:

  • Refreshes faded highlights
  • Neutralizes unwanted brassiness
  • Adds beautiful, healthy-looking shine
  • Leaves hair feeling soft, silky, and refreshed
  • Extends the life of your color

Whether you're blonde, brunette, or somewhere in between, a customized gloss helps keep your color looking salon-fresh.

Keep the Shine Going at Home

Your stylist can recommend professional products to protect your investment and keep your hair healthy long after your appointment.

Our August favorites include:

  • Redken Acidic Color Gloss to maintain shine and enhance color vibrancy.
  • Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate to strengthen and repair hair stressed by summer sun and heat.
  • Kérastase Chroma Absolu to nourish and protect color-treated hair while preserving its brilliance.
  • Kérastase Elixir Ultime Hair Oil for lightweight hydration, frizz control, and luminous shine.

End Summer Beautifully

Before fall schedules begin, treat yourself to a little self-care. An August hair refresh is the perfect way to revive your color, restore shine, and head into the new season feeling confident.
