CUTS AND STYLING
Haircuts should always suit your face and appearance, which is why all of ours begin with a consultation to identify exactly what you would like to achieve. Following your consultation, your hair will be washed and conditioned with professional products specifically chosen for your hair type. Finally, we will style your hair with a carefully selected product just for you. Full blowouts for that extra glam effect are available too – just ask your stylist!
COLORING
At Hair Basement we work with Tier A brands for hair coloring. To start, we offer an extensive range of shades eq gloss by Redken. These acidic demi-permanent colors offer major transformational value while maintaining your hair’s quality. With the extensive array of shade options, you are able to achieve anything! Packed with nutrients that provide strength, depth and shine- you can’t go wrong! Did we mention they are all ammonia free?
Next to Redken, Hair Basement offer permanent natural coloring from Zero: completely vegan hair coloring, PTD-free and probably the next best thing we have ever taken from Italy after pizza.
BLOWDRY
A blow-dry is a wonderful option for a special occasion such as a wedding or a birthday; or even as a weekly treat to keep your hair looking its best without having to do all the styling yourself. All of our blow-dries include a hair wash and deep condition. After, your hair will be towel dried and prepped with a heat protectant solution that acts as a barrier to preserve the health of your hair. Depending on your hair type and texture, a blow-dry will last you anywhere from 3-7 days. Whether you would like to have a straight, wavy or curly outcome our team of stylists can accommodate. We will be happy to suggest products to extend the longevity of your treatment.
AFTER CARE
USING PRODUCTS IN THE RIGHT ROUTINE
We use shampoo to clean out dirt, oil and residual products in order to open the hair and infuse it with nutrients. We always recommend that you use the shampoo twice, as the first usage cleanses the outer layer of the hair. The second shampooing opens the hair and allows nutrients to penetrate the core while strengthening it. Our shampoos have a PH of 6-6.5, which is perfect in preparation for a nourishing mask to further improve hair quality. The Hair Basement team are proud ambassadors of Maria Nila, vegan and cruelty-free hair care from Sweden.
Masks are used to boost the hair with nutrients and to restore the health of your hair. What kind of mask is best for you depends on the needs of your unique hair. All hair masks used at Hair Basement have a pH of 5-5.5, which is the skin and hairs natural pH level. They are all softening, moisturizing and restorative for hair health. Consult with our team to decide which mask best fits the needs of your hair.
Conditioner is always used as the final product in a functional hair washing routine. This is done to seal the outer layer of the hair and then protect the hair. The low pH of 4-4.5 forces the cuticles of the hair to close, shielding it ands providing a glossy finish. All of our conditioners contain active ingredients to further boost the softness, shine and health of the hair.
AFTER CARE FOR HAIRCUTS
A brand-new hairdo should be seen – and first things first: let’s ditch the hair tie and let your new locks flow freely. This gives them the opportunity to adjust and find their natural placement. To conserve healthy and happy hair, proper product usage and a regular trim are key. At your appointment, don’t hesitate to ask your stylist which products would be best for you. We advise having a trim every 6-8 weeks in order to welcome new hair growth.

OUR PRODUCTSSHOP
AFTER CARE FOR COLOR-TREATED HAIR:
Following a coloring appointment, the aftercare is crucial in keeping your color vibrant. First avoid washing your hair for at least two days after. Once you begin washing regularly again, do not this more than 3 times a week, and always use a recommended shampoo and conditioner. If your hair is susceptible to more oil, using a dry shampoo or powder will do the trick to eliminate this problem in between washes. While showering, try to stick with lukewarm water instead of hot as it opens up the surface of the hair strand which strips the color. Finally, investing in salon-grade products for use at home will prolong a sparkling, fresh color. On average we suggest freshening up your color every 8-12 weeks.
