Summer Hair Care Guide by Gypsy Rose Salon: Keep Your Hair Radiant All Season Long
Summer is here—and while it brings sun-kissed skin, beach days, and poolside lounging, it can also wreak havoc on your hair. Between UV rays, chlorine, saltwater, and humidity, your strands go through a lot. But don’t worry—Gypsy Rose Salon is here to help you protect your hair, maintain your color, and keep your locks looking healthy and luxurious all summer long.
Whether you're a blonde babe, a brunette beauty, or rocking a bold fashion color, your summer hair care routine matters. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll break down professional summer hair care tips, must-have salon services, and the pro products our expert stylists swear by.
Why Summer Is Tough on Hair
Your hair faces unique challenges in summer:
UV Damage: Just like your skin, hair can get sunburned. UV rays break down hair protein and cause color fading.
Chlorine and Saltwater: Pool chemicals strip moisture and damage the cuticle, while saltwater roughens the hair shaft.
Humidity: Increased moisture in the air can cause frizz, puffiness, and lack of control.
Heat: Higher temperatures and more time in the sun lead to dryness and split ends.
Sweat and Oil Buildup: More frequent washing can strip the scalp of natural oils.
At Gypsy Rose Salon, our team understands how seasonal changes affect your hair and we’re here to offer personalized solutions to keep your hair vibrant, strong, and beautiful.
1. Start with a Summer-Proof Haircut ✂️
If your hair is already feeling dry or damaged, the best place to start is with a fresh trim. Removing split ends will prevent further breakage and make your hair look healthier and more polished.
Recommended Service at Gypsy Rose Salon:
Luxury Haircut + Treatment: Includes a precision cut, nourishing mask, and blowout for a flawless finish.
Pro Tip: Ask your stylist for soft layers or a textured cut to embrace your hair’s natural movement during humid days.
2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate 💧
Summer heat and outdoor activities can zap your hair of its moisture. That’s why hydration is key to summer hair care.
In-Salon Moisture Services:
At Gypsy Rose Salon, we offer advanced treatments to bring your hair back to life.
Try These Summer Hydration Services:
Gold Lust Masque Experience: This Oribe signature service deeply nourishes dry, brittle hair with luxurious ingredients like white tea, jasmine, and baobab oil.
Brazilian Blowout Deep Conditioning Treatment: Smoothes frizz, boosts shine, and locks in moisture without harsh chemicals or formaldehyde.
At-Home Pro Products:
Gypsy Rose Salon Recommends:
Oribe Moisture & Control Deep Treatment Masque
Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil – A lightweight blend that tames frizz and replenishes moisture.
Oribe and Milbon Masques – Intense nutrition for dry, sensitized hair.
Pro Tip: Use a deep conditioning treatment once a week to maintain hydration throughout the summer.
3. Protect Your Hair from the Sun 🌞
Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from UV exposure. UV rays can damage the cuticle, fade your hair color, and weaken strands.
Salon Service: Gloss + UV Shield Add-On
A clear gloss treatment not only adds mirror-like shine but also creates a protective barrier against environmental stressors. Combine this with a UV protectant mist applied by your stylist for long-lasting sun defense.
Pro Products We Love:
Oribe Invisible Defense Universal Protection Spray – Shields hair from heat, UV rays, and pollution.
Kérastase Soleil Huile Sirène – A nourishing beach spray that offers both hydration and sun protection.
Goldwell Dualsenses Sun Reflects Leave-In Protect Spray
Pro Tip: Apply your UV protectant just like you would sunscreen—every time you go outside!
4. Stay Cool with Scalp Care 🧖♀️
Your scalp is skin too, and summer heat can lead to sweat, oiliness, irritation, and even sunburn. A healthy scalp means healthier, stronger hair.
Salon Scalp Treatments at Gypsy Rose:
Detoxifying Scalp Scrub + Mask
Oribe Serene Scalp Soothing Experience
These in-salon rituals help rebalance the scalp’s microbiome, remove buildup, and soothe inflammation.
Recommended At-Home Products:
Oribe Serene Scalp Soothing Leave-On Treatment
Oribe Scalp Scrub – Gentle exfoliation with hydration for sensitive scalps.
Pro Tip: Avoid using hot water during summer—lukewarm or cool rinses help maintain scalp balance and reduce oil production.
5. Embrace Low Maintenance Color 🎨
Summer is the season for sun-kissed hair that looks effortlessly beautiful. Instead of high-maintenance coloring, opt for lived-in color techniques that grow out gracefully and require fewer touch-ups.
Top Color Services at Gypsy Rose Salon:
Sun-Kissed Glow – Half-head foil or balayage focused on face-framing brightness and crown highlights.
Low Maintenance Blonde – Balayage or foil with root smudge and gloss for soft dimension.
Lived-In Brunette – Reverse balayage with pops of brightness on the ends and a rich root melt.
Rainbow Prism Fantasy Colors – For those wanting a bold summer look using vibrant, long-lasting tones.
All of our color services include bond-building additives, custom glosses, and luxury blowouts to leave you with silky, vibrant hair.
6. Beat the Frizz with Smoothing Treatments ✨
Humidity is public enemy number one in the summer. Fight back with professional smoothing services that seal the cuticle and lock out frizz.
Top Frizz-Fighting Services:
Brazilian Blowout (Formaldehyde-Free): Smoothes hair, eliminates frizz, and adds radiant shine without compromising volume.
Express Blowout: A quicker version of the Brazilian Blowout that lasts 4-6 weeks.
Perfect for:
Curly or textured hair
Color-treated or dry hair
Anyone looking for easy styling during summer months
7. Swim Smart 🏖️
Swimming in chlorine or saltwater can be harsh on your hair. These tips and treatments can help minimize the damage.
Before You Swim:
Wet your hair with clean water and apply a leave-in conditioner or hair oil. This creates a barrier against chlorine and salt.
After You Swim:
Rinse your hair immediately and follow with a clarifying shampoo once a week.

K18 Detox Shampoo – Gentle detox without stripping color
Kérastase Soleil Masque UV Defense Active
Pro Service:
Detox + Rebuild Treatment at Gypsy Rose: Deeply cleanses and reconditions hair that’s been exposed to chlorine, salt, or sun.
