Texas summers are full of sunshine, pool days, and humidity — all of which can leave your hair feeling a little parched and your color looking a little faded. As the weather cools and we step into sweater season, now is the perfect time to refresh your look and give your hair the TLC it needs.
And here’s a reality check: Thanksgiving is only about 15 weeks away, and Christmas is just 20 weeks away. If you want to be holiday season ready — with hair that’s glossy, healthy, and perfectly styled for every photo, party, and family gathering — now is the time to start.
1. Refresh Your Color
Summer sun and chlorine can fade even the most vibrant tones. Fall is the perfect time to deepen your color, add warmth, or refresh your blonde so it’s bright (but not brassy). A quick gloss can work wonders, locking in shine and smoothing your hair’s surface.
To keep that fresh-from-the-salon look going at home, pick up the Iles Formula 3-Step System — shampoo, conditioner, and finishing serum — along with the Iles hair mask for a weekly moisture boost. This combo helps protect your color, restore hydration, and keep your hair silky all season long.
If you didn’t hear, we now carry Oribe in our salon! If Oribe is your preferred brand, we recommend Oribe Color Shampoo and Conditioner to gently cleanse while preserving vibrancy, paired with the Oribe Masque for Beautiful Color for deep hydration and shine. For styling, Oribe Royal Blowout Heat Styling Spray will protect against heat while leaving your hair smooth, glossy, and full of life.
Pair your gloss with a professional blowout, and you’ll have that just-left-the-salon look that lasts all week.
2. Upgrade to Extensions for Instant Glam
If you’ve been thinking about getting Hair Extensions, fall is the perfect season to take the leap. Extensions not only add length and fullness — they also make styling faster, help your hair hold curls longer, and instantly elevate any look.
Bonus: when installed and maintained, they can help protect your natural hair during the drier, cooler months. Imagine waking up with ready-to-go hair for all your holiday events — no rushing, no stress.
3. Fight Texas Humidity (and Frizz)
Even as the temperatures drop, the Texas humidity has a way of hanging around. A smoothing treatment is your secret weapon for sleek, frizz-free hair that still has body and movement. It lasts for months, so if you book now, you’ll enjoy smooth, shiny hair straight through the holiday season.
4. Hydrate & Protect
Switch to a richer, more nourishing routine for fall. We recommend Iles Formula for color-safe, sulfate-free care that hydrates and strengthens your strands. Add a Jolie shower filter at home to keep hard water minerals from dulling your color. And never skip a heat protectant like Iles Formula Haute Performance Finishing Serum when styling.
If you’re an Oribe lover, we recommend Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo and Conditioner to replenish moisture and strengthen hair from the inside out. For heat styling, Oribe Invisible Defense Universal Protection Spray offers lightweight, invisible protection against heat and environmental damage — perfect for keeping your hair healthy and glossy all season.
5. Book Early for the Holidays
Our appointment books fill up quickly in the lead-up to Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you want fresh color, a new set of extensions, or a smoothing treatment before your big events, book now to secure your spot.
