Sweater weather is cute. Hair friction is not. ☕️🧣
Swipe for easy ways to protect your ends this winter

This month’s spotlight belongs to Gaby, our fantasy color loving artist with a serious talent for making hair feel like an extension of the person wearing it.

With 5 years in the industry, Gaby specializes in transformative alternative color with an extra soft spot for fantasy shades + curls.

To Gaby, hair is another canvas. They love taking an idea, inspiration, or completely unhinged color combination and turning it into something customized, expressive, and uniquely you.

If you’re ready to stop playing it safe with your hair, Gaby’s chair might be exactly where you belong. 🎨

After a summer of sun, salt, and chlorine, your hair deserves some extra love 🤍

Did you know you can add a treatment onto any session? Mix and match to build the session your hair is begging you for 🪄

We’re choosing TREATMENT. Every. Single. Time. 🪄

Feeling dry? Hydrate it. Damage from lightening or heat styling? Repair it. Summer left behind buildup, minerals, or chlorine? Detox it. Scalp needing a little attention? We’ve got you.

Think of treatments like customized skincare for your hair. Your stylist can assess what’s happening with your strands and recommend the treatment that makes the most sense instead of throwing random products at the problem.

And with colder, drier weather right around the corner, October is the perfect time to get ahead of winter hair. No tricks here, babes.

Summer’s air dry era is winding down and blowdry season is BACK. ✨

Meet Ritual Refresh our dry shampoo made for stretching your style without making your hair feel like it’s wearing three days of dry shampoo.

It absorbs excess oil while adding texture and body without buildup or flaking, and it’s gentle enough for all hair types including color treated hair.

The good stuff inside:
✨ Natural Rice Starch: talc-free oil absorption
💧 Hyaluronic Acid: adds moisturizing emollients
☀️ UV Protection: helps protect your color

And here’s the bonus: extending the time between shampoos means less washing, less heat styling, and less color fading.

Going to bed with wet hair 👻

We know, we know. Sometimes the shower happens at 10 PM and the last thing you want to do is pull out the blowdryer but hear us out.

Your hair is at its most vulnerable when it’s wet. Tossing, turning, and rubbing wet strands against your pillow all night can mean more tangles, stretching, and breakage not to mention waking up with hair that’s decided to dry in approximately 17 different directions.

Wet hair + eight hours of pillow friction? Absolutely terrifying 🎃

Girl, get your priorities straight 😜

This month we’re putting the spotlight on Maria Cardoso, our blonding + extension specialist with an impressive 16 years behind the chair.

Maria brings a well-rounded, elevated approach to modern haircare, shaped by years of experience throughout Northern New Jersey and continued education with industry leaders including TONI&GUY, ARROJO, and Oribe.

Her goal isn’t simply to create beautiful hair for the Instagram photo. Maria focuses on creating healthy, effortless, luxury hair that actually works in real life because your hair still needs to look good when you’re the one styling it 🤍
