If you are like me and you like to regularly get new hairdos or change your look, then you are likely in the hair salon quite often for haircuts and other hair design treatments.

In the beginning, I thought getting a cut and getting it blow-dried or straightened was enough. But my favorite experienced hairdressers in Melbourne have taught me the importance of taking care of my hair.

Getting A Haircut: A Different Experience

I have been to hairdressers who have quickly cut my hair and then end it at that. They do not consider the status of my hair beforehand and nor put a second thought as to how it will look the next day.

It may look wonderful immediately after the cut, but that was it. A really great hairdresser will provide full service from the second you sit on the chair.

Not only do they simply want your money and then move on to the next customer, but they truly focus on how they can improve your look and your hair.

My locks are always a mess, with my hair quite brittle and weak after frequent blow-drying and other unhealthy practices. They really need some love and care from a professional.

Whenever I visit my favorite hairdresser, they provide full service. Instead of just cutting my hair, I get a consultation first as to what look suits me, based on the shape of my face, how dense and thick my mane is and my lifestyle.

The latter means if you are the type of person who likes an easy to maintain haircut, then you will not end up with a style that needs regular blow-drying.

Beyond cutting my locks, they will also look at the condition of my hair and scalp, as well as the style and color I prefer.

Only then can a cut and design be decided. I would always sit there with the knowledge that my hairdresser is a professional and that my hair is in good hands.

Get A Hair Treatment Along With A Haircut

At my favorite hairdresser’s, a hair care treatment is recommended and can be booked for a few more bucks. This is part of the shampoo, conditioner, and scalp massage that complements the haircut.

Beyond that, there are other few treatments my favorite hairdresser offers, from a simple masque to the popular keratin treatment. These procedures do not only make my hair look shiny and beautiful; it also enhances any look I get.

A Keratin Relaxing Treatment is the most recommended even if you are not subjecting your head of hair to chemicals or other procedures. Basically, you will be feeding your hair with keratin, which is the primary protein of your hair, nails, and skin.

A Kerastase Ritual is like a professional washing and conditioning for your hair. What makes it stand out compared to other hair treatments is that you get some rejuvenating scalp massage.

This allows the proper absorption of the hair treatment you want to have done. It is not just good for your hair, but it is also very relaxing for you as a customer.

The best thing about getting hair treatment is that you get supple, healthy, and shiny hair that will only highlight your new hairdo.

It is possible because these expert hairdressers will give you the right tips and products so that you can continue with your hair pampering at home.

By following the recommendations of your hairdresser, you find the right products and develop the right hair care routine to keep nourishing it at home.

The Right Hairdresser Watches Out For Your Hair

Do not be fooled by hairdressers who only want your business, not truly giving you the full hair care treatment when you get a haircut.

Getting the right service will keep your locks healthy, beautiful, and shiny, and will make your new hairdo look great.

As a working woman and mother, it is quite easy for me to put myself and my needs last. However, I try to give myself some time every month to pamper myself. These days I spend in a beauty salon in Doncaster area, splurging on one of their packages.  

I tried their packages for the first time after I received a voucher as a Mother’s Day gift and since then, I was hooked. Every single day, I have to work hard at the office and then spend time with my family afterward. All of the stress, however, disappears after a well-spent day at the salon.  

Here are the normal treatments included in their packages: 

Manicure And Pedicure 

Even mothers love having painted nails, and there is nothing I love more than having someone take care of my hands and nails. In fact, they are very grateful for it after all those dishwashing, doing the laundry, and all the other chores I have to do every day. Having a manicure and pedicure remains to be one of my guilty pleasures, and I am eager to indulge myself to keep my hands soft and beautiful.  

In fact, it is beyond just getting them painted, as a professional pedicure is a full foot treatment that removes that dry, cracked and calloused skin on the heels and feet. I enjoy having super soft feet like a baby afterward. 

Facial Treatment 

Stress can really make skin look old, but a facial always makes me look fresh, young and glowing. There are different kinds of facials offered at my favorite salon, but the basic thing about the facial is to do a deep clean of your skin. Every day, our skin is exposed to pollution, dirt, and make-up. These clog the pores and the facial will clear them. Afterward, the facial will exfoliate and moisturize the skin with the use of special serums and gels. 

There are other facials that use anti-aging serums, which work on stimulating the inactive skin cells and heal the skin. You can see reduced wrinkles and fine lines and leaves you with a radiant glow.  

Of course, the best part of the whole treatment is when they massage the face, neck, and shoulders, allowing me to unwind fully from all the day-to-day stress of work and family life.

Body Massage 

A day at the salon is never complete without a full body massage. After all, when I want to truly destress, this is the best way to do it in one hour. In fact, after the experience, I always feel rejuvenated and full of energy again.  

For a different experience, there is also an aroma massage that uses mineral sea salt to improve circulation. I also tried out a full body wrap which uses plant extracts, before I was wrapped in a heated blanket to let the mask work. Beyond just feeling relaxed and renewed, my skin also felt fresh and tingly.  

Other Treatments 

Beyond my usual relaxing package, I also spend my time at the salon getting a wax. I always prefer going for professional hair removal instead of doing it at home, because they are the best at it. Beyond that, my favorite salon takes a lot of steps to do the procedure in the most sanitized way possible. In fact, they were the first to implement the no double dip policy, meaning a new wax stick is used for every application. Customers also receive disposable underwear when they are getting waxed in intimate areas.  

Another treatment I indulge in especially during the colder months of the year is getting a spray tan. This procedure takes only a fraction of a time compared to spending hours staying under the sun, and this is why it is perfect for busy women like me. But thanks to this spray tan treatment, I get to keep my tan even when the temperatures outside have dropped. 

Pampering Yourself Is Important 

If there is one thing that I believe in, it is that by keeping myself pampered and healthy helps me become the best woman and mother I can be. This is the reason why I take the time regularly to visit my favorite salon and enjoy their packages. Because I am a regular customer there, they take extra great care of me and this is the reason why I keep coming back for their wonderful and personal service.
