The Salon 955 Guide to Reviving End of Summer Hair
As the end of summer approaches, many of us find ourselves dealing with hair that has been exposed to sun, saltwater, chlorine, and humidity. All these elements can take a toll on our locks, leaving them dry, damaged, and lifeless. However, don't fret! With a little extra care and the right tips, you can revive your end-of-summer hair and restore its natural shine and vitality.
Trim Away the Damage
The first step in reviving your hair is to get rid of the damaged ends. Frequent exposure to the sun and other environmental factors can cause split ends and breakage. A hair cut will not only remove the damaged parts but also encourage healthier hair growth. Your Salon 955 stylist will discuss the length you're comfortable with, and take care of the rest.

Deep conditioning is a must for end-of-summer hair revival. Enjoy an in-salon treatment such as Pureology's...

Summer Self-Care: UV Protection for Hair and Scalp
When it comes to sun protection, most of us diligently apply sunscreen to shield our skin from harmful UV rays. But have you ever considered the effects of the sun on your hair and scalp? Just like our skin, our hair and scalp can also suffer damage from prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. So what exactly are the benefits of UV protection for hair and scalp? Let's get into it. ☀️
Prevents Hair Color Fading:
If you've ever experienced your hair color fading or turning brassy after sun exposure, UV rays may be the culprit. Prolonged sun exposure can break down the hair's pigment molecules, leading to color fading. UV protection products, such as Redken's One United All- In- One Multi Benefit Treatment are formulated with UV filters,...

What is a bond builder and why do I need it?
Bonding technology is a revolutionary approach to protecting and preserving the integrity of hair, especially after it has been lightened or chemically treated. When hair is lightened, the process breaks down the protein structure, known as keratin, within the hair strands, resulting in weakened and fragile hair. This can lead to various issues such as dryness, brittleness, and increased susceptibility to damage.
Bonding technology, often referred to as bond builders or bond enhancers, works by reinforcing and rebuilding these weakened bonds in the hair. It typically involves the use of specially formulated products that contain ingredients designed to penetrate the hair shaft and strengthen the broken protein bonds. These products usually work in two main ways:
Bond Multiplication: Bond builders contain active ingredients that help multiply and recreate the broken bonds in the hair. One of the most commonly used ingredients is a...

The New Custom Highlight
Get the custom color that is uniquely you.
One of the best ways to change up your hair color is to invest in highlights. Think about it: you don’t have to deal with the commitment that comes with a full head of new, permanent color; and the maintenance can be so much easier. There is no better way to get a lived-in, sun-kissed look!
Of course, highlights can be executed in a myriad of ways, and if you’ve done any research or scanned Instagram looking for inspiration pictures, you’ve probably seen the phrases “foil highlights, balayage, foilayage, ombré and hand painted." With so many types of highlights out there - its impossible to figure them out on your own.
Enter the professionals at Salon 955 and our new "Custom Highlight Package." We want to take the guesswork out of your next highlight appointment, while customizing a look that may require several different techniques. Custom highlights are our specialty here at Salon 955, and instead of having a confusing, extensive color menu with varying prices that frankly don't make any sense, we offer a beautiful experience that will...
Heat Styling Tips
How Heat Can Damage Hair - And How to Minimize the Effects
- Hot tools like blow dryers, curling irons, and flat irons can all contribute to heat damage. When heat is applied to hair, it strips some of the natural oils from the hair and causes the water to evaporate. This changes the hair structure and can leave the cuticle open. When the cuticle is raised, it can lead to tangled hair and split ends. So how can we protect our hair from heat damage?
Prepping the hair.
- Before blow drying, prep the hair with a blow dry cream or spray that has heat protection. Redken’s Quick Blowout spray has heat protection up to 450° and helps speed up blow dry time. Before using a hot tool like a flat iron or curling iron, prep the hair with a heat protectant like Redken’s Thermal Spray (previously known as Iron Shape). It has a low-hold spray that protects the hair up to 450°.
Check the temperature.
