Summer in the Pacific Northwest is finally here—and while the sunshine and longer days are everything we’ve waited for, your hair, skin, and lashes need a little extra love to keep up with the change in season. Whether you’re hiking Mount Rainer, relaxing on Alki Beach, or just enjoying golden hour on your patio, here’s how to prep (and protect!) your beauty routine for summer.

1. Switch to Summer Haircare Products

Heat, sun exposure, and even hard water from swimming can dry out and fade your hair. That’s why we love rotating in summer-specific products from Davines, our go-to sustainable Italian haircare line.

Stylist-approved summer must-haves:

  • Davines SU Hair & Body Wash – Gentle and refreshing post-sun exposure
  • OI All in One Milk – Lightweight, anti-frizz, and UV-protective
  • Heart of Glass Sheer Glaze – A blonde’s best friend for strength and shine

Bonus Tip: Book a deep conditioning treatment or gloss to lock in hydration and vibrancy.

2. Trim Before (and After) Vacation

A quick summer trim keeps split ends in check and your style looking polished. Then, book a follow-up cut in August to refresh your look and remove any sun or saltwater damage.

3. Treat Your Scalp

More sweat and more dry shampoo = more buildup. Our scalp detox treatments exfoliate and refresh your scalp to encourage healthy hair growth and balance oil production.

4. Protect & Hydrate Your Skin

Even when it’s overcast, UV rays are strong in the Pacific Northwest. Our estheticians recommend coming in for a hydrating facial before and during summer to prep and repair your skin barrier.

At home:

  • Wear SPF daily (yes, even when it’s cloudy)
  • Exfoliate weekly
  • Use a hydrating serum or sheet mask 2–3x/week

5. Summer-Proof Your Lashes

No one wants to fuss with mascara at the pool—or worry about raccoon eyes while paddleboarding. Here are two of our favorite low-maintenance lash solutions:

  • Lash Lift & Tint: Natural lashes are lifted and curled upward, then tinted for a darker, mascara-like look. Perfect for a natural beauty who wants a fresh, wide-eyed look without the upkeep. Lasts 6–8 weeks.
  • Lash Extensions: Get full, fluttery lashes 24/7. We offer classic and volume lash sets, customized to your eye shape and style. No mascara, no smudging—just effortless beauty, all summer long.

Whether you’re headed to a wedding, vacation, or just want to wake up looking ready, we’ve got your summer lashes covered.

6. Brow Waxing or Shaping Before Vacation

Summer = low-effort beauty. Get your brows professionally waxed, shaped, or tinted before your trip so you can ditch the brow pencil and still look polished every day.

7. Relax With a Summer Massage

Long hikes, outdoor runs, and nonstop activities take a toll. Our custom massages help you reset, reduce tension, and recharge for your next adventure.
