Last Week of Summer: Your Back-to-School Hair Checklist
capitola village
Can you believe summer’s almost over? Whether you were off exploring Europe, soaking up the sun in Hawaii, dancing through Vegas nights, or just enjoying the laid-back rhythm of home in Santa Cruz this summer felt like a much needed breath of fresh air. Now, with the school year right around the corner, it’s time to ease back into routines and get yourself (and the kids!) ready for a new season. Before the calendar fills up with practices, pickups, and meetings, give yourself a moment to reset and yes, that includes your hair. After all the sunshine, travel, and carefree days, a little post-summer refresh can make a big difference.
Here’s your local back to school hair checklist to help you feel refreshed, polished, and ready to take on fall without the frizz.
✅ Back-to-School Hair Checklist
1. Refresh Your Trim
From beach days to bonfires, summer can be rough on your ends. A simple trim helps remove dryness, restore your shape, and keep your hair looking healthy and effortless.
2. Root Touch-Up or Gloss Refresh
Lived-in color is a vibe, but overgrown roots and faded tones are not. If you're in Santa Cruz, Aptos, or Capitola and need a quick refresh, a gloss or root touch-up can bring life back to your color.
3. Frizz Control That Lasts
Humidity can leave your hair feeling unruly just as the school routine begins. Consider a Brazilian Blowout or Keratin Treatment for smoother, more manageable hair—perfect for our coastal climate.
4. Transition Your Style
New season, new style? Whether you're ready for curtain bangs, a dry cut reshape, or just some added movement, now’s a great time to change it up before your schedule fills up.
5. Deep Conditioning & Blowouts
Treat yourself to a salon blowout or moisture-repair treatment before the busyness kicks in. It’s a great way to reset your look and your mood.
