Summer is coming to a dry, smoky end that’s going to leave our hair lifeless and flat. So it’s time to recapture some of that pre-summer moisture and pump new life into into those post-summer highlights. For the month of September we are offering complimentary moisturizing treatments when you get a cut and color together to keep that luster going strong into fall. Choose from the Vegetarian Miracle, Nou Nou Pak, or Power Mask for moisture. Or you can opt for a clear gloss treatment for lots and lots of shine. We also have these treatments available for sale so you can do them at home, and those will be 20% off during the month of September.
This month also marks the long-awaited arrival of my long-time friend, master colorist Graham Holmes. I met Graham many years ago when I was doing my training at Jingles in London, and now Graham is coming to Taboo, fresh from the chic London salon San Rizz. Our own master colorist Robert and I have always looked to Graham for inspiration and I am so excited that he will be bringing his incredible skills to our salon. If you’re looking for some summer highlights of your own, we suggest calling now so you can be one of Graham’s first clients. Call us at 323.655.3770 or drop us an email at appointments@taboohaircare.com to make an appointment today.
Cheers,

Summer is finally here so let’s sit down for a moment and strategize about this season’s hair. This year I’m all about wash-and-wear. With the right cut, color and products you can transition from shower, beach or pool by simply running a comb through your hair. Amy (left) is keeping her hair long this summer so she can pull it back at the beach and for swimming. So I freshened her layers and Aaron added a subtle array of tourmaline and sea sand throughout, creating an ultra low-maintenance sparkle similar to the highlight found in children’s hair. See? It’s just that easy. In fact it’s so easy, we’ll give you 10% when you get a cut and color together on any weekday in June or July. This deal is for newsletter subscribers only, so be sure to mention when you book!
To protect the hair from drying out in the sun we recommend the Day Sun Pak and Sun Protection Spray by Davines, which are great for poolside or after shampoo. Both products rinse out leaving no residue and—with a little twisting technique; ask your stylist to show you—they also function as leave in styling aids, enhancing the natural movement of your hair. So bask the hours away knowing that your hair is protected. If you’re traveling this summer, we have a special Davines’ travel-size shampoo-and-conditioner set. One of these sets is our gift to you when you buy a set of regular-sized products (shampoo, conditioner and styling product). Come see us before it gets too warm so you can ditch the blow dryers and flat irons and enjoy an entire season of cool, manageable hair. Call us at 323.655.3770 or drop us an email at 
The return of daylight savings has added a little spring to my step as we head into my favorite time of year here at Taboo. I love spotting the little bursts of color popping out all over the city on my drive down to the salon. With spring springing forth, why not try a color gloss treatment? These freshen your existing color but wash out gradually so you won’t see any re-growth. It’s a great way to try color for the first time, and really, what better time of the year to do it? We want to encourage you to try this fabulous treat so we are taking 20% off all color gloss treatments through the end of April.
