[The Client] Your Home Routine is 80% of Your Hair's Success.
Hair care isn't just a routine; it's a lifestyle of holistic habits, salon visits, and premium home care.
Why Home Care is 80% of Your Hair Success
Let’s talk numbers for a second. If you visit the salon once a month—about every four weeks—you spend roughly three hours in our chair. That includes your treatments, trims, and styling.
But what about the other 700+ hours of the month? That’s entirely up to you.
Your day-to-day routine is where true hair health is won or lost. It’s driven by your water intake, sleep quality, diet, consistency with supplements, exercise and juicing. What you put into your body affects your hair far more than you might think.
As licensed professionals, our job is to treat the hair that has already grown from the follicle. But you are responsible for treating the hair before it even leaves the scalp.
While high-quality shampoos, conditioners, leave-ins, and bond repair treatments work wonders, they can only do so much if the hair is in a severely damaged state. We recently shared a 90-Day Hair Rehab roadmap online because when hair is compromised—whether from color damage or severe dehydration—it takes at least three months of consistent care to see a true turnaround.
What you do outside of the salon isn’t just extra credit; it’s essential to your hair journey.

The Perfect Partnership: Home Care + In-Salon Treatments
With that said, home care doesn't replace the salon—the two work hand-in-hand. Regular salon visits are absolutely essential to keep your hair on an upward trajectory, especially if length retention is your goal. Keeping your ends cleanly trimmed prevents damage from traveling up the hair shaft, while professional protein and hydration steam treatments perfectly complement your efforts at home.
To bridge the gap between your visits, it’s just as important to use professional-grade products at home. Here at Chic Shades Hair Salon, we use top-tier brands tailored to your hair's specific needs. For our guests in the 90-Day Hair Rehab state, we rely on Milbon’s shampoos and conditioners to maintain moisture, paired with K18 for advanced bond repair.
We also love to apply a professional shine treatment during your visits. This instantly boosts the appearance and vibrancy of your hair, giving you that beautiful, healthy glow while your hair is actively rehabbing from the inside out.
