At no other time throughout the year does your skin look so delicious. It glows with a delicate kiss of the sun’s color and sheen of protective bronzers. It smells of coconut and citrus, tantalizing the taste buds enough to want to take a bite.

Your hard work at the gym throughout the year, wins great reward as each muscle, whether delicately formed or profoundly pronounced, moves like a wild cat as you stride the shoreline in: barely your essentials covered.

A summer wardrobe carefully selected to reveal your best features, catch breezes that leave little to the imagination, and colors you rarely wear in the dead of winter.

It’s difficult to look bad in the beauty of summer’s highlights. But what about your hair? Suddenly it has become more work then any other aspect of your personal grooming.

Humidity has become cause for more frequent ironing. The sun is bleaching your color to a faded resemblance of your color intention. Curly has gone frizzy, and straight has gone flat. Your ends are drinking your hair products faster then you are hydrating your body. If you are hiding gray roots with color, they seem to be exposing your secret every two weeks as the wind blows through your hair on boat, or on beach. Male or female; your hair has turned into straw!

Now, here in the salon we could give you numerous procedures to repair your dry sun bleached hair; we could suggest a whole host of fabulous retail products that will coat sooth and calm the residuals of your relaxing summer, soaking enough vitamin D to carry you through a chunk of the winter months; but we are not.  It is all going to return to this state again next summer. And you know what? It’s hair! It grows, and in fact, the interesting fact is, that it even grows after we decease.

So! The best advice we can give to you; enjoy your summer, do what you already know to do. Perhaps just a little more often. Oil it into a braid, slick it back with some silicon protector, let it dry curly with an extra handful of conditioner dried into the curls, and when all else fails; there are a whole host of fabulous summer hats you should be using anyways to protect your face from wrinkling in the sun!

Our best beauty shop advice is for you to enjoy life’s fleeting moments, give your hair a break, and then bring it back to us at the end of summer. We will work our magic so you will never know it went awry while you were busy making memories!
