SummerHair

Your summer hair routine might be missing this ✨

We already love Kérastase Gloss Absolu, but this line REALLY shines during the summer months. ☀️

Sun, heat, humidity, pool days and extra heat styling can leave your hair feeling dry, dull, frizzy and harder to manage. Gloss Absolu is all about bringing back hydration, smoothness and that glossy, healthy-looking finish while helping fight the things summer throws at your hair.

With key ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid + wild rose oil, the collection helps hydrate, smooth and add serious shine without sacrificing that lightweight, bouncy feel.

A few of our summer favorites:

✨ Bain Hydra-Glaze for a hydrating cleanse
✨ Insta Glaze to condition, detangle + smooth
✨ Anti-Frizz Glaze Milk for heat protection up to 450°F + humidity protection
✨ Glaze Drops through the lengths and ends for lightweight smoothing + major shine
✨ Crème Hydra-Glaze Mask + Frizz-Glaze Crème when your hair needs a little extra hydration and frizz control

The goal? Less frizz. More hydration. Softer ends. Smoother blowouts. And ALL the shine. ✨

If your hair gets puffy the second you step outside, feels dry after days in the sun or just loses that fresh, glossy look during summer, Gloss Absolu deserves a spot in your summer hair routine.

Available at Studio 486 🤍 Ask your stylist which products from the line are best for your hair!

Client Question: What’s secretly ruining my extensions this summer? ☀️🌊

Summer is one of the toughest seasons on hair extensions. Between sunshine, chlorine, saltwater, wind, and even the wrong sunscreen, your extensions can become dry, tangled, discolored, and lose their softness much faster than they should.

The good news? A few simple habits can dramatically extend the life of your extensions and keep them looking beautiful all summer long.

☀️ Your skin has different needs in the summer.

More time outdoors means more UV exposure, more sweat, more sunscreen buildup, more heat, and more environmental stress on your skin. Sunscreen is essential, but supporting your skin after a day in the sun is just as important.

Our favorite summer duo from Young Goose:

✨ Adaptogenic Cleanser gently removes sweat, sunscreen, excess oil, and daily buildup while helping maintain a healthy skin barrier.

✨ Blue Peptide Spray helps support your skin’s natural recovery process and cellular energy after increased sun and environmental exposure, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and hydrated.

A smart summer skincare routine is all about protecting, cleansing, and supporting your skin so it stays healthy all season long.

We have both of these Young Goose favorites in stock at Studio 486. Stop by and pick up your summer skincare essentials with us before your next beach day, pool day, or vacation.

✨ Let’s talk dry shampoo…

Dry shampoo isn’t just for skipping wash day anymore. The right one can refresh your hair, add volume, create texture, soothe your scalp, or even extend the life of your blowout. 🙌

The key? Not all dry shampoos are created equal. Each formula is designed for a different hair type and goal.

✨ Need to absorb excess oil and add volume? There’s one for that.
✨ Looking for invisible refresh with zero white residue? Yep.
✨ Want texture and grip for styling? There’s a formula made just for that.
✨ Dealing with an itchy or dry scalp? Even that has an option.

Choosing the right dry shampoo can completely change how your hair looks and feels between washes.

A few pro tips:
• Apply before your hair gets overly oily for the best results.
• Focus on the scalp…not the ends.
• Let it sit for 30–60 seconds before massaging or brushing through.
• A little goes a long way!

☀️ It’s officially summer in Newport Beach… and you know what that means… TRAFFIC. 🚗🌴

With the beaches filling up, summer tourists in town, and the OC Fair kicking off later this month, travel times around Newport can get a little unpredictable.

If you have an appointment with us over the next couple of months, we kindly ask that you plan to leave about 15 minutes earlier than you normally would. We’d hate for you to have to rush or miss any of your appointment time because of unexpected traffic or parking delays.

We can’t wait to see you and help you look your best all summer long! ☀️✨ Thank you for planning ahead…we truly appreciate it!

See you soon,
🤍 The Studio 486 Team
