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!

Put the “Me” Back in Merry This Holiday Season!

The holiday season is officially in full swing! From holiday parties to family gatherings and last-minute gift wrapping, we know how busy this time of year can get. When the holidays feel hectic and crazy it's hard to stop and take time for yourself. But don’t fret, we’re here to remind you that it is perfectly ok to rest and recharge during the holiday season. Check out Salon@Church’s top four self-care necessities to make this festive season your best yet!

Unplug and Unwind

It’s time to ditch the screens and spend a little more “me” time this holiday season. Enjoy everything the winter season has to offer without the distraction of a screen! We can't recommend putting the phone down enough, it truly does wonders for your mental and physical well-being. This winter, we suggest grabbing a warm festive drink, and driving around your neighbourhood looking at Christmas lights for a fun wintery activity! Christmas time is the best time for committing to a digital detox. Trust us ditching the screens is the perfect form of self care! 

Guilt-Free Rest

Yes, you heard us right. Don’t feel guilty for taking some well-deserved alone time this holiday season. “You time” is a must, especially when the days become shorter and the nights become longer. We suggest putting in a hair mask and soaking in a bubble bath with a good book, or maybe even a glass of wine… or two. We recommend our Authentic Beauty Concept Glow Mask to achieve effortless shiny holiday hair. Simply apply the mask to damp hair and let sit for 25 minutes. Hair masks are the perfect bathtime accessory and the perfect self care treat!
