It’s May, baby! And that means you’re almost half way through the year, but do you really need an occasion to pamper yourself? Of course not! It’s always a great time for a new hairstyle and a little bit of self-love.
Especially if you’re burnt out!
If you’re part of the 50% of Americans (who responded in this survey) who are burnt out, it’s all too likely you’ve been burning the midnight oil at both ends of the candle. In fact, most Americans are overworked which results in mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
So what do anxiety, statistics, and depression have to do with a new hairstyle…? Well, mental health happens to be our initiative of the month for May 2022! Which means we’re doing everything we can to raise awareness for mental health and support those who struggle with it (donate here), including developing a monthly special that is sure to boost your mental health as well as giving your scalp a refreshing treatment that ends in a fabulous hairstyle.
The Deluxe Style: A Full On Pampering
We’ve crafted a discounted special package that you can get all month long! Here’s what it involves, how they help you, and maybe a tip or two about running something similar at home for yourself if coming into the spa sounds too hard.
Shampoo
Any good pampering starts with a deep cleanse! Removing toxins and buildup from your hair and scalp kicks your pamper treatment off to a great start. The thing that makes our shampoo specials unique is the products we use as well as our water.
“Your water? What?”
Yup, you read that right! Our water is run through a special water softener that removes harsh chemicals and alloys to provide silky smooth strands. In addition to the water softener, we use products that contain absolutely ZERO manmade chemicals. Everything in our shampoos can be found in nature, because nature knows how to take care of itself best and girl… Your natural looks are deserving of the best!
Home Tip: Don’t have a water softener? Try one of these tricks to soften your water.
Hair Mask
Rehydration is always important after a cleanse. Without it, hair and skin can quickly dry out and be left crunchy and cracking. It’s why we immediately follow up our cleansing with a deep-hydrating mask that restores any lost hydration to your hair.
“Why hydrate? It’s just hair…”
Woah girl, it is but it isn’t! Hair is made out of the same kinds of proteins that your nails and skin are made of, which means it has pores and needs just as much hydration as your skin does to stay health.
Home Tip: If you use any OWay conditioners, these also double as a hair mask when left in for 15 minutes or longer. And if you don’t, you can craft your own hydrating hair mask from avocados and honey.
Head Massage
Did you know that the health of your scalp directly impacts your hair? Yup! Increased bloodflow to your scalp promotes healthy growth and strengthens your hair, which is why a head massage is the perfect addition to a deluxe hairstyle.
Home Tip: A head massage isn’t quite as intense as you might be thinking. The goal is to stimulate bloodflow without causing damage to the roots. A gentle give-and-take pressing motion on the scalp working with the flow of the hair will go a long way in providing something similar to what you’d get at a salon.
Aroma Therapy
Touch, sight, and taste (Did you think we wouldn’t have drinks ready for you the moment you stepped into the salon?) aren’t the only parts of a full pampering experience. Scents go a long way in promoting relaxation and mental well-being, and our essential oil blends are a part of bringing you into a state of calm relaxation.
Home Tip: The quality and type of scent you use matters! Getting a candle is great, but finding a diffuser that you can create a mixture of spearmint and lavender in will provide you with the health benefits of the essential oils while making you relaxed and alert.
Hot Towels
Warmth has been used for centuries as a way to promote good health and create a sense of relaxation. Everything from saunas to hot stones have been used in the realm of health, and hot towels are our way of bringing that ancient knowledge into your pampering.
Home Tip: Don’t microwave your towels. (unless you want a charred towel, you do you boo!) Instead, sprinkle a little water on them and toss them in your hot dryer for about 10 minutes before wrapping your limbs.
Facial
To top it all off, we take some time before actually styling your hair to give your face a little care. Our facials, like every other part of our service, are completely organic and designed with both ancient and modern knowledge in mind to give you the absolute best in skincare that rejuvinates and restores you.
Then at the end, we give you the best hairstyle you’ve had (because you only need a little encouragement and restyling to look like the bombshell beauty we know you are!)
“Ok, ok, but can I really afford this?”
We get it! Big pampering treatments are often insanely expensive. But that’s not what we’re aiming for this month. To make it accessible to everyone, we’re marking it down to a price lower than even our Special Occasion price: $65 total for the whole Deluxe Style!
