🤎 A NEW CHAPTER BEHIND THE CHAIR 🤎

We have some exciting news at Sage & Strands… we’re officially making the switch to Arete as our professional color line! ✨

So, why Arete?

We’ve been looking for a color line that really aligns with where we want to take our salon… beautiful, dimensional color, gorgeous brunettes, lived-in blondes, and healthy-looking hair are at the heart of what we do. Arete gives our stylists another level of creativity and versatility behind the chair while keeping the focus on beautiful, customized results. 🤎

Arete is a professional hair color brand built around modern color technology, performance, and versatility, giving stylists the ability to customize formulas and create everything from rich, dimensional brunettes to soft blondes and everything in between.

And because we know you love your at-home products, we’re bringing Arete retail into the salon, too! 👏🏼 You’ll be able to take the products we use and love behind the chair home with you.

But don’t worry, we aren’t clearing out ALL of your favorites! 🫶🏼

✨ Mela + Kera are staying!
✨ Arete retail is coming in!
✨ We’ll be downsizing our Keune Stylers to make room for the new lineup.

Think of it as a little salon refresh with the same goal: better hair, better results, and an even better experience for you. 🤎

We’re so excited for you to see what we can create with Arete! 👀✨

When your stylist becomes the only person you trust with your hair… you know you’ve found your girl 🥹🤎

Kiley is all about honest consultations, clear communication, and making sure every client leaves her chair feeling confident and obsessed with their hair.

And according to Lexi… 100/5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Cy-Hawk rivalry got a little more interesting when extensions entered the picture 😂🏈

Because let’s be honest… the team with the better hair wins.

Who are you rooting for?! 👀🏈

✨ THE SECRET IS OUT ✨

Remember when we teased something NEW coming to the salon? 👀 Well… she’s finally here!

Meet RŪTE, the shower cap specifically designed for hair extensions. 🤎

If you have extensions, you already know the struggle: your crown gets oily before your extensions actually need to be washed. So what do you do? Wash everything… and put your extensions through another full wash + dry cycle? 😩

Enter RŪTE.

RŪTE allows you to wash your natural hair at the crown while keeping your extensions completely dry, meaning you can freshen up your scalp without having to wash, dry, and restyle your extensions every time.

Why extension girls NEED it:
✨ Extend the time between extension washes
✨ Keep your extensions dry while washing your crown
✨ Less washing = less wear and tear on your extensions
✨ Save time on those “my scalp is dirty but my extensions are still fresh” days
✨ Keep your extensions looking fresher for longer

Basically… your extensions get to stay fresh while your scalp gets the wash it deserves. 👏🏼

RŪTE is officially available at Sage & Strands! 🤎

Extension girls, this one is for YOU. Come grab yours at your next appointment!
