Our stylists can help you find the perfect shade to make a statement and have you looking your best all summer long! Keep reading to browse our top 4 must-try hair colours that are sure to be trending all summer long!

Sun-Kissed Balayge

Embrace summer with a sun-kissed balayage, a popular hair colour technique that mimics the natural highlights created by the sun. Think soft, golden tones that blend beautifully with your base colour, creating a low-maintenance look perfect for effortless summer vibes. Our stylists recommend using Redken’s Hair Cleaning Shampoo to clarify your hair from any pool chemicals or pollutants. Complete your hair regime with Redken’s All Soft Conditioner to keep your hair hydrated and soft all summer long!

Vibrant Colour Blocking

Colour blocking is a vibrant and artistic trend that involves combining contrasting shades in distinct sections of your hair. This technique creates visually striking blocks of colour that add depth and dimension to your hairstyle. Colour blocking is perfect for summer and allows you to express your unique style! We recommend using Redken’s Colour Extend Magnetics Shampoo and Conditioner as it has intense UV-A and B protection to keep your colour bright and vibrant!

Fiery Red 

What better way to embrace the season than with a fiery red hair colour? We love red hair as it is bold, vibrant, and full of personality. Not only does it complement a wide range of skin tones, but it also adds a sizzling touch to your overall look! The perfect product for redheads is Redken’s One United as it is an all-in-one leave-in product that protects, smooths, and strengthens your hair.

Beachy Blonde 

Nothing says summer quite like beachy blonde hair. This classic, sun-kissed shade is effortlessly chic. Our stylists can help you choose a warm, honey-toned blonde or a cooler, platinum hue. Beachy blonde is versatile and suits various hairstyles, making it the go-to choice for summer. To keep up with your at-home maintenance we suggest using Design Me’s Gloss Me Shampoo, Conditioner and Mask to keep your hair soft and hydrated. This product line is perfect for summer as it helps protect your hair from heat and environmental damage.

This summer, let your hair colour shine with vibrant and inspiring shades that capture the warmth of the season.

Tips to Refresh Your Hair This Spring! 
 

As the weather starts to warm up and flowers begin to bloom, it's the perfect time to refresh your hair for spring! After the harsh winter months, your hair may be feeling dull, dry, and in need of some TLC. The Salon@Church team is excited to share our tips and tricks for giving your hair a much-needed refresh, so you can rock luscious, vibrant locks all season long!

Cleanse and Clarify

Spring is the perfect time to cleanse and clarify your hair to remove any buildup from styling products and environmental pollutants. Consider using a clarifying shampoo to thoroughly cleanse your scalp and hair, and remove any residue that may have accumulated during the winter months. We recommend using Authentic Beauty Concepts Deep Conditioning Shampoo to remove any impurities and build-up. Be sure to follow up with a nourishing conditioner to keep your locks hydrated and soft!

Trim Those Ends

Winter can take a toll on the health of your hair, and split ends may have made their way into your locks. Regular trims can also help to prevent further damage and breakage, ensuring that your hair grows healthy and strong as the season progresses. Book a fresh trim with us to get rid of any split ends and give your hair a clean, polished look.

Hydrate and Condition

After months of cold weather and indoor heating, your hair may need some serious hydration. We can’t recommend Authentic Beauty Concepts Hydrate Mask enough to help replenish moisture and nourish your hair from within. Use this deep conditioning treatment once a week to restore your hair's elasticity, bounce and shine.

Switch Up Your Style

Spring is the perfect time to switch up your hairstyle and try something fresh and new. Consider getting a new haircut, adding some layers, or experimenting with a different hair colour to revitalize your look. Not sure where to start? Head to Salon@Church for a consultation to determine the perfect style tailored to you! Our goal is to help you embrace the playful and carefree vibes of spring with a fun and updated hairstyle.

With these tips and tricks, you're now ready to refresh your hair for spring and step into the season with revitalized, gorgeous locks.

Keratin Treatments 101!

Keratin Treatments 101!

If you’re tired of dry frizzy brittle hair, then a keratin treatment might be right for you! Before you can refresh your locks with a keratin treatment, we want to guide you through this process. Keep reading to learn more about what a keratin treatment is and how it can transform your hair!

What is a Keratin Treatment? 

A keratin hair treatment is a process that smooths and adds shine to your hair by infusing it with a particular type of protein called keratin. The treatment works by coating each strand of hair with keratin, which seals the cuticle and helps protect the hair from damage.

Benefits of Keratin Treatments

If you suffer from frizzy, dry hair, keratin treatments are the perfect way to tame those stubborn locks! Keratin treatments are a healthy option compared to other smoothing treatments since this treatment fills in the porous gaps of your hair strands and smooths out your hair. Keratin treatments can also reduce the look of split ends by bonding the hair back together. As long as you care for a keratin treatment by not washing your hair too frequently (2 to 3 times a week max), then your keratin treatment can last up to 6 months. We recommend going at least 3 days before washing your hair or adding any product to help the keratin product set in properly. This treatment also helps to reduce frizz and makes hair easier to manage. 

The Process

Keratin treatments take time so don’t forget to pack snacks and sit with us for a couple of hours! To start off the treatment, we shampoo the hair, rough dry it, then apply the treatment solution to small sections of the hair by using an applicator brush and a comb to pull the cream through the hair. We let this sit for 60 - 90 minutes depending on if you’re looking to straighten, smooth or reduce frizz in your hair. We then seal the treatment with a blow dryer or straightener. By doing this, we create a humidity-resistant and frizz-free finish! After the formula has been applied, you’ll have to let it sit untouched for at least 72 hours.

 

If you are looking to take the next steps toward silky, shiny hair, now is the time! For the month of February, all keratin treatments are only $199! Book your keratin treatment with one of our stylists today!

5 New Hairstyles to Try in 2023!

5 New Hairstyles to Try in 2023!

A new year is here! What better way to start the new year off than with a big chop or colour change? The Salon@Church team wants you to look and feel your best and 2023 is shaping up to be a year of bold hairstyles! Here are five of the hottest hair trends to look out for!

Bold Colours

Want to turn heads everywhere you go and get a serious boost of confidence? Bold hair colour can change up your hair look and give you that instant mood boost! 2023 is all about making a statement with your hair! Whether it’s bright pink, vibrant purple, or electric blue, don’t be afraid to experiment with vivid colours. Our team LOVES bold bright colours and are serious experts in this field. Head over to our IG to see some of the bold styles we’ve been creating lately! 

Uptown Blonde

If you’re looking to try a new hair colour or upgrade your current do now is the time! This shade of blonde is going to be huge this year as it is a less-maintenance look while also looking expensive and polished. The term uptown blonde is an antidote to saturated bleached blonde, as well as a beachy balayage which are two of the hottest blonde trends. This colour is perfect for anyone looking to transition to an all-over bright blonde colour!

Short Cuts

Hair experts are predicting shortcuts to be huge this year! We’ve already seen major celebrities debut their new short hair and we are here for it! Short hair cuts give you a fresh start and pressing the reset button after a challenging couple of years will manifest in the desire to cut your hair. Short crops and bobs will be the most in-demand cuts this year.

Layered Haircuts 

You didn't think we were going to forget about layers, did you? They remain the single biggest hair trend right now since they encompass dozens of hairstyles going viral including the wolf cut, and variations of the shag and mullet. Layered haircuts give the illusion of length and volume by using long hair for the illusion of length and short hair for volume. It is also an incredibly easy style to manage and suitable for anyone looking to add volume to their look.

Curtain Bangs 

So the curtain fringe is going nowhere. Just like in 2022, it's set to be a major hair trend in 2023. We love curtain bangs as they are a softer, more bespoke interpretation of straight-across bangs. These bangs are meant to flatter your bone structure and highlight certain facial features, such as the eyes or cheekbones. 

While a new year is here, the talented team of Salon@Church remains the same! We’re here to help transform your hair to any colour or style you're dreaming of! We’ll be sure to have you looking and feeling your best with a fresh new look! Book your next consultation with one of our stylists today!
