Repair Summer Hair...

As summer is winding down, take a minute to check out the condition of your hair. Does it feel dry? Lack shine? Hard to style? Has your color faded? If you have spent the past few months having fun in the sun, chances are you will answer 'yes' to at least one of the above. It is important to repair your hair, just as you would apply lotion to dry skin or aloe to a sunburn. A great way to get your hair back into shape is to get a HEAVENLY HYDRATION conditioning treatment, a Studio Z Salon signature service. Moisture will be added back to your hair, making it shinier, softer and easier to manage. Pair this treatment with a haircut and your hair will be thanking you for months!

Book with Meghan for a 'Heavenly Hydration' conditioning treatment ($19+).

Chelsea wants you to know...

We can all relate to cutting costs and getting more for our money in this economy. When you walk into a salon and look at all the products, do the prices make you question if it is a good buy? Before you decide to buy that $10 bottle of shampoo and conditioner at a drug store, there are a few things you really should know.


Why should you buy your products from a salon?


Salon Brand Products



  • They are created to work with specific needs of your hair. This, in turn, can actually help restructure, moisturize and smooth hair while it cleanses.


  • They are made from high quality ingredients.


  • Someone is trained to help you find what products will best suit your needs.


  • Through research, it has been found that salon products are actually less expensive.


  • Products are guaranteed.


  • You have the ability to try before you buy.


  • Containing UV Filters, thermal protection and anti-color fade technology, salon brands protect the investment you make on your hair.


  • To help support your local salon and your stylist.

VS.


Drug Store Products




  • Contain synthetic ingredients. Most contain waxes that coat your hair to give you the illusion of shiny, silky hair when, in actuality, they are doing nothing for the structure and integrity of your hair.


  • They are more expensive. You need more of the product for it to work, so you end up using about 5x more product to serve its purpose. This causes you to spend twice as much in a year on drug store products than salon products.


  • They have a high alkalinity. Your hair is acidic (4.5-5.5 on the pH scale) and by using a high alkaline product you are creating more tear on the outer layer of your hair.


  • You can't try before you buy.


  • No one is available or trained to thoroughly teach you how to use the products and what is best for your hair.


  • Contain a higher amount of cleansing surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate and ammonium lauryl sulfate; Which cause color to fade and damage due to the high amount of sufactants.

A few words from Kevin...

"Even though I've been a hairstylist for 16 years, I still enjoy getting a haircut and the excitement of the 'something new' that a great hairstylist might suggest for my hair. I have my favorite parts of the salon experience and have heard from my clients over the years what their most enjoyable moments are. Often clients express that coming to a hip salon like Studio Z Salon helps them keep up on current fashions and trends. Others find the massaging shampoo (my personal favorite) to be the best part of coming to a salon."

What's your favorite part of the salon experience?

Testimonial from Tina Zavoral

My experience with other salons has been just average but once I started going to Studio Z Salon that all changed. I've been coming to Studio Z for 5 years now and whether I'm getting my hair done or a massage, the staff is very professional. They listen to my needs and ALWAYS exceed my expectations! Kristine is an amazing massage therapist and adjusts according to my preferences. I highly recommend Studio Z because the Spa Z program is very affordable for only $49/month! My hair color has been flat and dull and Karen has given it a new shine! I will go to Studio Z for life!
