Jetting off soon? Don’t wait until the last minute, the key to feeling confident on your trip starts with a little pre-holiday planning. From colour touch-ups to protective styling, here’s your go-to checklist to make sure your hair is holiday-ready from takeoff to touch-down.

Book Your Colour Refresh
If it’s been a few weeks since your last colour appointment, now’s the time to brighten up your look. Whether you need to lift dull tones, disguise roots, or enhance shine, a quick refresh will keep your colour vibrant and polished in all those holiday pics.

Trim for Healthy Ends
A fresh cut isn’t just about style,  it also keeps your hair healthy while you’re away. Trimming off dry ends before your trip helps prevent breakage, especially if you’re heading somewhere with sun, sea, or chlorinated pools.

Consider a Protective Style
Going somewhere hot or humid? Low-maintenance, protective styles like braids, buns, and sleek ponytails can keep your hair looking great with minimal effort. They also help reduce frizz and shield your strands from sun and saltwater exposure. Avoid adding extra heat to your hair; we encourage you to let your hair air dry.

Stock Up on Travel Essentials
Don’t forget your hair care basics. We’ve got a full range of salon-quality, travel-sized shampoos, conditioners, and styling products that meet airline liquid limits and keep your hair looking its best on the go. Now is not the time to desert your usual hair care routine!

Ask About Smoothing Treatments
Want a frizz-free holiday? A professional smoothing treatment before you travel can make styling a breeze. It cuts down on drying time, adds shine, and keeps your hair manageable in heat or humidity.

Plan for Your Return
Holidays are for relaxing, and that includes your future self. Book your post-holiday appointment before you go, so you can refresh your colour, rehydrate your strands, and keep your hair in top condition when you get back.
