A Treat for Yourself...Just Because...
You had a busy day, or a hectic week is coming up - just the thought of doing your hair is exhausting. Let us at Hairworks Co do the work for you! Welcome to our Oasis - where we will offer you a hot tea or a specialty coffee (espresso/cappuccino/latte), sit back, relax and let us do our magic! We trust you will enjoy the luxury of being pampered - and hey, why not make a once or twice monthly appointment for yourself just for this?
Remember back in the day when women would get their hair done weekly at their local hair salon? What a fabulous idea! Gosh, life is busier than ever now! Treat yourself today...just because...
Course Curly Frizzy?
Try a professional blowout if your hair is coarse, curly or frizzy (or all three). Using a round brush and a specific blow drying technique, a professional blowout will leave your hair voluminous and smooth - create curls or subtle waves primarily without using a curling iron or a flat iron. The wonderful thing about blowouts is that it will make your life much easier - a blowout is designed to last for the next 3 to 5 days! Depending on your hair texture and thickness - those of you lucky ones with thick, coarse, or curly hair that tends to be frizzy, will love getting this done on a regular basis because not only will it make your life so much easier, but blowouts will keep your hair shiny and healthy looking with lots of bounce!

Formal Hairstyles
Hair Works Co offers a range of formal updos for those special occasions like weddings, graduations, anniversaries, and other special events.

Haircare Tips
In addition to getting the right cut to keep your look fresh in between salon visits, styling starts with skilled blow-drying techniques. Here are some quick drying techniques from our salon professionals:
- Towel dry your hair – to avoid breakage, pat gently and don’t rub.
- Section off – using an elastic or hair clips, separate hair and dry one section at a time - especially if you have longer hair!
- Direction - always direct the dryer knozzle downwards using a brush to pull down hair in the natural direction from roots to ends - this will ensure smooth and shiny results.
- Even heat distribution - avoid directing heat in one area for too long which can lead to excessive damage. A thermal protectant is highly recommended for even better results.
- Invest in a professional hairdryer – cut down drying time and increase heat and styling power with the latest lightweight models. Tourmaline and ceramic dryers emit non-damaging infrared heat and negative ions - this ensures protection from the high heat as well as making the hair shiny and healthy. At Hair Works Co we can always special order a professional hairdryer just for you AND one that suits your budget!
- Invest in professional haircare products - by doing so your hair will remain smooth, shiny, and healthy. Professional products will protect your hair from the damage that heat styling tools will do - hairdryers, flat irons, curling irons, and of course the sun! Drugstore products tend to buildup on the hair because the molecular weight is far higher than professional products - this is why they are detrimental to the integrity of your hair in the long run. Fine hair in particular can become flat and lifeless. Chemically processed hair can be at risk of becoming dry and more susceptible to split ends. We have had many guests who fight with "oily" hair when in fact it is strictly from particular shampoos/conditioners that promote high-shine but in actual fact they are building up on the hair through each use and eventually making it looks "greasy". Investing in a few quality professional haircare products will maintain the integrity of your hair.
At Hair Works Co we have many choices of haircare products to choose from and are happy to recommend ones that will work specifically for your hair type and your budget as well!
