The professional hair curators at Shannon Leigh’s Salon apply know-how and fortifying treatments to fashion newly shorn manes into eye-catching hirsute exhibits. Scissors deliver pink slips to split ends before stylists craft coifs into fresh and fetching variants, teaching clients how to maintain their new ‘dos at home or after a whirlwind date with a hurricane. A deep-conditioning treatment seeps into and rehydrates strands parched from harsh chemical treatments, and a colorist tints hair in a subtle or bold new chromatic overcoat.

Alternatively, patrons can shoo away bothersome corkscrews with a Brazilian blowout, which ensconces hair in a protective protein layer to simultaneously shine and shield locks from the elements or teething coonskin caps. After their blowout session, tresses dangle in straight, glossy folds, and can defend themselves against frizz ambushes for up to 12 weeks.

Some hair-straightening products that claim to be formaldehyde-free include aldehyde compounds, which are similar to the carcinogen formaldehyde. Side effects may include nosebleeds, headaches, vomiting, and respiratory problems, among others. Learn more about the health risks here.
