Post-Summer Hair Reset: 7 Ways I Prep Your Color for Fall (+ What to Book)

1) Detox first: remove summer build-up

Sunscreen, hard water and pool days leave a film that dulls color. I start with a clarifying or chelating wash so toner and treatments can actually do their job.

Best for: everyone, especially blondes and swimmers.

Book: “Clarifying Add-On” + your service.

2) Gloss & tone for instant shine

A gloss/toner refreshes faded blondes, cools brass, or warms up brunettes for that cozy fall vibe. It seals the cuticle for reflective shine in 20–30 minutes.

Book: “Gloss/Toner” or add to your color.

3) Micro-trim = healthy ends, not shorter hair

A light dusting removes sun-frayed ends so hair air-dries prettier and curls hold again.

Book: “Women’s Cut” (note: micro-trim).

4) Hydration + bond repair

After UV + salt, I reach for a deep conditioning mask + bond builder to boost elasticity and reduce breakage.

Book: “Deep Conditioning Treatment” add-on.

5) Fall dimension: bronde, lowlights & cozy coppers

Keep summer brightness but add depth with teasy-lowlights or try the trending soft copper. The result grows out beautifully and frames your face for sweater weather.

Book: “Lived-In Color” or “Partial/Full Highlights.”

6) Humidity defense (hello, Tomball!)

Frizz season doesn’t end here. A Brazilian Blowout or keratin smoothing gives 3–4 months of faster blow-dries and anti-frizz shine.

Book: “Brazilian Blowout.”

7) Extensions refresh

For hand-tied, tape-ins, I-tips or K-tips: we’ll move-up, color-blend, and gloss your ends so everything looks seamless for fall events.

Book: “Extensions Maintenance/Move-Up.”

At-home fall routine (quick list): 

• Weekly: detox or scalp scrub (esp. swimmers/hard water)
• Every wash: heat protectant + leave-in hydration
• Styling: lower heat; finish with a light serum for glassy ends
• Color care: purple/blue toning only as needed to avoid over-cooling
