As we make our way through the summer months, taking advantage of the warmer temperatures and spending long hours at the beach or cooling off at the local pool, our hair may be suffering in silence. The combination of sun-dried tresses and constant sweat can take our “normal” flyaways and frizz to a whole new level. Tame the frizz with these 5 summer-friendly hair tips.
 
5 Tips to Tame Frizzy Hair
 
Moisturize Your Scalp
Frizz develops when your hair follicles search for moisture, so get ahead of the frizz and give your strands the hydration they need while you’re in the shower. Make sure to choose shampoos and conditioners that provide a natural hydrating agents, like coconut oil, argan oil, or shea butter.
 
Avoid Shampooing Everyday
In combination with the above, avoid shampooing your hair daily, as this may strip your hair of its natural oils causing it to dry out and become quite brittle. Ask your stylist whether it’s appropriate for you to switch to sulfate-free products, as some sulfates can be rough on your strands and contribute to drying them out over time. When it comes to your hair there is such a thing as too clean!
 
Dry your Hair with a Microfiber Towel
Taking a microfiber towel to your hair after the shower in lieu of the cotton one you typically use on the rest of your body may be the small miracle you’ve been searching for. Hair follicles swell when they are in prolonged contact with water molecules, so the idea is to get as much water off your head as fast as possible—while creating the least amount of friction. Hence, a highly absorbent and non-fluffy microfiber towel will make a huge difference.
 
Sleep on a Silk Pillowcase
Looking for a quick fix? Trade your comfy cotton pillowcase for a silk one. Your cotton pillowcase steals the moisture from your hair as you snooze, plus, with cotton, it causes friction every time you toss or turn throughout the night—friction that may cause damage to your hair cuticles and increase your chances of waking up with a head full of frizz. Silk pillowcases result in dramatic results overnight, perfect if you are in immediate need of flyaway taming. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy feeling like a queen sleeping on a shiny, satin pillow!
 
Kerastase Hair Treatments
Beyond making changes to the way you care for your hair on a daily basis, indulge in a salon service designed to tame frizz and flyaways. Kerastase hair treatments from the Fusio-Dose™ Hair Lab is a system that uses freshly-fused and concentrated active ingredients to create a customized treatment designed to match your specific hair needs. It is a simple solution to flyaways with a transformation that you see happen right in front of you. Voilà, long-lasting frizz-free hair…immediately!
 
Call our salon today to schedule your appointment for a Kerastase hair treatment, the perfect add-on to your next cut, blowout or styling service. Time to say goodbye to frizz, for good!

​“I had a new client come in—we gave her a color transformation and a new set of extensions. While matching her for her extensions, we realized that just one extension brand couldn’t give her what she was looking for. We needed to order hair from two different companies and combine them...the result was incredible! Everyone who walked by commented on how amazing the colors were. While talking to another stylist, she asked what I had used for color on her natural hair. She had seen the client the day she came in for her consultation and recognized the major change in her before and after looks. I explained everything I used, and, as I was telling her, I realized how truly custom we create each client's look. Her color alone took three different color brand's products, and then two extension brands, as well, and another three companies for styling products! 

"If we were tied down to any one company, we would never have been able to create that look, nor would it have been in the best interest of the client. The client was in love with her new style, and really felt like she had something one-of-a-kind created for her...because she did! But this is just a typical example of how we service our clients at Fisher Experience..." 

***

This is just one example of how our stylists go above and beyond for their clients. But it's more than just going above and beyond—it's a matter of servicing the client before servicing our business partners. It is extremely unique for a salon not to be bound by contract to certain vendors. Mixing brands—whether colors, hair extensions, or styling products—is a bold approach in the beauty world. However, our experienced and highly talented staff has perfected the art of blending haircare brands when it’s in the best interest of the client. And we can only do this because our clients—not our vendors—are our #1 priority. This is reflected in our retail offerings, as well: we offer lines from three of the leading haircare brands to meet a wide variety of haircare and styling needs. No one brand is right for every person, and every circumstance!

There is an art and a science to "bending the rules," and our stylists know how to toe that line with grace.

“We had an extension guest recently who was very thin on top due to a prescription medication she was taking. We chose to install extensions on the top of her head, though this is generally not the way extensions work. We changed her part to disguise them, and it worked very well—the guest was exceedingly pleased. Not only did this satisfy our client's fashion needs, but it also met her budgetary requirements—it was a very cost-effective solution.”

We look outside of the box to achieve the look our clients desire. We have tested the limits and know exactly where the line is—creating the look you have in mind, no matter how unconventional, is exciting for us! We'll do what it takes to achieve the look you want...if anyone can make it happen, it's our team.

Speaking of our team, that is another thing that makes Fisher Experience so unique. Our team members do not work in silos, coveting the lessons they've learned through experience. Our team is just that: a team. They work together, consult with each other, share formulas and promote camaraderie...both inside and outside of the salon. They strive to motivate, educate, and assist each other, which creates the best possible experience for our clients. 

Fisher Experience has been one of the South Shore's leading hair salons and day spas for decades, and it's because of the way we approach client service that we have made such a name for ourself. If you are ready for a fresh perspective and a one-of-a-kind look, created just for you, call 781.849.1770 or email info@fisherexp.com to schedule a consultation with one of our incredibly talented and progressive stylists. We want you to achieve the look of your dreams, and our stylists are prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure exactly that!

Stress is real. It is our body’s reaction to change, and the response can be physical, emotional,
or neurological. It is a very normal part of our lives, and is a natural instinct that manifests when
our body identifies the need to protect itself. Although these reactions typically come and go,
prolonged stress may be damaging to our mental and physical health. And, from new mothers
to working women trying to do it all, prolonged anxiety and stress is more common than ever.

Women accomplish a lot on a daily basis. We hold high-stress jobs, care for our children,
maintain our households, and work to keep our relationships healthy—with partners, friends and
family. Wonder Woman has nothing on today’s modern woman. But being expected to handle
all of this at once may actually be a foundational source of stress. The best way for women to
better equip themselves to handle stress is by dedicating a few hours each week to self-care—it
can make a huge difference.

Here are 3 simple ways to practice self-care, to ensure you are your best self in order to excel at
all you are responsible for, every day.

1. Alter Your Perspective

It sounds cliché, but a lot of our stress comes from the way we perceive a circumstance. You
can make the choice to view your situation as a challenge, rather than as a catastrophe. You
can choose to see an opportunity where a threat once stood. Once you believe there is no
danger, your body’s “fight or flight” response will be deactivated. If you put this idea into
practice, the less likely you will feel the effects of life’s stressors. Look into cognitive
restructuring if you need a place to begin.

2. Adopt These Daily Stress-Relieving Habits

Get ahead of the downward stress spiral by picking up a few natural, stress-relieving habits, like
exercising, journaling, and meditation. Exercise is said to naturally boost your feel-good
hormones, which make this activity a great method for combating stress. Another simple option
is to start a journal. Make it a goal to write for 10 to 15 minutes in the morning, before the
craziness of the day, or at night, before you go to bed. Meditation, in as little as 10 minutes per
day, will keep your mind clear, refreshed and ready for the day. The key is learning to
disassociate yourself from that endless to-do-list.

3. Take Part in Regular Talk-Therapy Sessions

Sometimes partaking in therapy regularly can help us gain an outside perspective on life and
relieve stress by openly discussing your thoughts and feelings. Therapy can be like a massage
for the brain that relaxes and eases the mind into serenity. Think about giving mindfulness-
based cognitive therapy a try, it teaches you awareness of your thoughts and allows you to
control your positive and negative reactions more readily. Essentially, therapy can provide the
stress-relief you need to take the best care of yourself.

4. Indulge in Regular Spa Services

Massages, pedicures and facials, oh my!
Another way to practice self-care is to partake in weekly or monthly doses of TLC. For a person
who spends most of their time and energy making other people happy—bosses, children,
partners, friends and family—indulging a little personal rejuvenation can do wonders for the
soul. Schedule a relaxing CBD oil massage to calm the mind and ensnare the senses, or a full-
on pampering session with your best friend, complete with pedicures and a luxurious facial.


At Fisher Experience, we want to encourage you to pick YOU first! Press the reboot button once
per week—or even bi-weekly, or monthly! It is so important for you to recharge yourself so you
can serve everyone, including yourself, better.

Summer is here and it’s time to get those feet flip flop ready. Splurge on some professional pampering, and enjoy a spa pedicure at Fisher Experience. We offer an award-winning spa pedicure that is as rejuvenating for the feet as it is for the mind. We recommend indulging in a pedicure every 3-4 weeks, but there are several ways you can prolong your pedicure and keep it looking gorgeous in between appointments. Here are a few salon-recommended tips to do just that: 

1. One of the simplest things you can do is re-apply topcoat every 7-10 days. This will help with premature lifting of the edges and keep that newly pedicured shine. Be careful not to create too many layers, as it can potentially create the opposite problem!

2. Moisturize your feet, toes and cuticles. After towel drying your feet, grab a high-quality bottle of cuticle oil and unscented lotion to give your feet and nails the moisture they need.

3. A pumice stone can be a great tool for keeping your feet healthy and smooth. It helps to rid them of callouses, and the wear and tear of the especially active lifestyle that so many people adopt during the summer months. 

4. Stay hydrated! We all know that staying hydrated is healthy—essential for optimal functionality in all areas of our body. But did you know that dehydration can have detrimental effects on your nail strength? Hydrating is important inside and out; it keeps our nails from becoming brittle—which can decrease the lifespan of your pedicure! 

5. Consider finding a comfy pair of socks to wear around the house while you’re not out showing off your toes. A soft pair of socks can be the perfect barrier to chipping your nail polish, and can also keep your exfoliated heels feeling smooth and moisturized for longer.

Things to avoid or minimize in order to maintain your pedicure:

1. Immediately after your pedicure, try kicking up your feet, relaxing, and binge watching your favorite Netflix series. I know this may be difficult with your busy schedule. However, try to plan your nail appointments when you DO have the time. If you want to maximize the life of your new pedi, then consider it a must-do. 

2. Do your best to minimize chlorine exposure, when possible, as it may cause unwanted fading and cracking. Plus, chlorine can dry out your feet, cuticles, skin, and hair.

3. Avoid water or steam for 12-24 hours. Your polish may feel dry as you walk out of the salon, but it actually takes about 12 to 24 hours to fully harden. 

Your beautiful pedicure is not made to last forever, but you may be able to extend its life and quality by following the tips above. Give them a try! When it’s time to take a seat in a salon chair once again, come see the specialists at Fisher Experience for a pampering mani-pedi combo. We want you to have smooth, healthy feet and fabulous toes to show off at the beach all summer long.
