Good News!

Good news travels fast, so you may have already heard that Governor Kelly announced on Thursday that salons can reopen on Monday, June 18th! In a press conference this afternoon, she said that salons are probably better prepared than most businesses to reopen since we already follow strict sanitation regulations.

We’ve studied best practices for our industry and are taking all the precautions we can to create a safe environment for our team and guests. We’ll be doing all we can to give you great hair and customer service. We ask for your patience and flexibility as we figure out day by day how to give you the best experience under the circumstances.

There are a few things we need you to do to help us:

• Masks that loop over the ears are required for staff and guests. If you don’t have a mask, we have fabric masks with our logo and disposable masks available for purchase.
• Check-in for your appointment from your car by calling us at 316-267-8000 to let us know you’ve arrived. Only people with appointments are allowed in the salon
• When you come into the salon, we will do a temperature check and ask you to sanitize your hands.
• You will be required to sign a COVID-19 waiver to receive services.
• Beverages will not be available. You are welcome to bring your own.
• Of course, if you’ve been exposed to COVID-19 or have symptoms, please call to reschedule.

We will continue to take your orders for Aveda products over the phone and get them ready for curbside pick-up.

If you have questions, concerns, or need to make an appointment, please give us a call. We appreciate your help in keeping our salon and staff safe.

We are over the moon excited to see everyone!

Strike a Pose!

We were thrilled to be part of the Fabulous Fashion Fete, a fun party to rock the opening of the Irving Penn, Beyond Beauty, photography exhibition at the Wichita Art Museum. We designed hairstyles and costumes, to mimic works by Irving Penn, one of the 20th-century masters of photography, whose work spanned commercial and artistic genres. Organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the photography show is on exhibit at the Wichita Art Museum through February 4, 2018.

 

Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific

Take a trip to exotic locals with Aveda’s new Pure-fume Hair Mists, inspired by the worlds’ enchanted places to transport your senses. These fabulous scents don’t just make your hair smell terrific, they also add softness and shine. Aveda’s master perfumers blended these aromas to capture the distinctive spirit of the places they represent.

Mihana™
Inspired by a lush, Asian oasis, Mihana™ is a spicy floral aroma with soft balsamic and bright citrus notes with jasmine, certified organic mandarin, clove, and other pure flower and plant essences.

Alanara™
This rich, extravagant, “oriental” aroma gets its inspiration from the glittering lights of Dubai, and is reminiscent of the exotic spices, moist rosy florals, and precious incense of the Middle East, using pure flower and plant essences, including certified organic rose, oud, and olibanum and more.

Marassona™
The beauty of Brazil is the inspiration behind this aroma, created as a clean, fresh citrus aroma with a seductive white floral heart to embody the dynamic spirit of Brazil by using certified organic neroli, lemon, ylang ylang, and other pure flower and plant essences.

They’re all so luscious, we can’t decide which one we like the most! Try them on when you come to visit us next and see which aroma enchants you!

Head’s Up!

Warning! There has been a change to the entrance of the parking lot to the west of our building.

The entrance to the parking lot has moved! Don’t let it catch you by surprise.  There’s a curb and sidewalk where the driveway used to be.

Rather than turning into the parking lot from Douglas, the entrance to the lot by our big mural has moved to Emporia Street.  The driveway is toward the back of the lot, so just make a U-turn after you enter to get to our spaces. The City of Wichita has changed this to make the intersection safer for pedestrians and to help traffic flow.

To The Moon! Jewelry by Lindsey Scot

Have you seen the new jewelry we have in by Lindsey Scot?

Inspired by the moon, these beautiful handfabricated works of art represent birth months, enriched with precious and semiprecious stones.

Lindsey Scot was born to be an artist, which isn’t surprising, given that her parents are Tod and Linda Ernst, co-owners of Planet Hair. With her dad being a hair stylist and salon owner, along with her mom’s background as a floral designer and past design company owner, Lindsey is compelled to create. Throughout her life, Lindsey’s parents have been proud supporters of the Wichita Art Community, giving Lindsey the opportunity to grow up around local artists. These relationships shaped her artistic outlook, inspired and encouraged by their  creative ambition.

Her work is a unique interpretation of wearable heirlooms that give homage to both the past and future. From geometric lines to the intuitive designs, her work tells a story that is conveyed through playful and sculptural objects. With every piece of metal that is carefully cut by hand to the stones that are delicately selected, every component has a purpose and a place.

See more of Lindsey Scot’s work on her website (http://lindseyscot.com/) and at the Finishing School for Modern Women’s Modern Venus – The Female Perspective show on June 23 and 30.

Awaken Your Scalp!

Are you a fan of non-wash days and dry shampoo? Do you hit the gym or the pool every day? Do you use plenty of hairspray or other product to keep your ‘do in the Kansas wind? Do you hate wearing dark colored clothing, because it shows off pesky dandruff flakes?

Then before you shampoo, cleanse your scalp with Aveda’s new Pramasana to remove build up from styling products, sweat, pollution and more. It’s like a detox for your scalp!

Beautiful hair is rooted in your scalp. The three steps of the Pramasana scalp treatment give a strong foundation for beautiful hair.

Start with the new Pramasana Exfoliating Scalp Brush.

Next, cleanse your scalp with Pramasama Scalp Cleanser.

Deeply, yet gently cleanses and purifies the scalp to help instantly balance sebum levels, while it exfoliates and removes pollution – creating a clean scalp foundation for beautiful hair. Scalp is left invigorated and refreshed.

 

 

Then, follow up with Pramasana Protective Scalp Concentrate.

Helps balance sebum levels to maintain the purity of the scalp at the root of the hair. This lightweight, leave-in treatment penetrates the surface layers of the scalp to nourish and help preserve the scalp’s natural protective barrier, while helping protect the scalp from aggressors such as pollution and other free radicals. Leaves the scalp nourished, soothed and feeling comfortable all day.

Want to try it for yourself? Ask you stylist for a complimentary scalp assessment during your next appointment!
