The Secret to Perfect Summer Hair

As the summer months set in, most of us focus on protecting our hair from the sun and styling it to withstand the humidity. But, we often overlook one crucial aspect: scalp care. This season, Hare and Bone, the innovative salon nestled in Bloomsbury and helmed by the award-winning Sam Burnett, emphasises that healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp.

Hare and Bone offers a luxurious yet down-to-earth experience. The salon’s commitment to excellence is evident in their meticulous approach to hair health. Beyond offering the services that you can expect from every salon - cut, colour, and finish - they also offer luxury hair care treatments by Davines and Oribe to address every hair and scalp concern.

During my appointment, just in time for this summer, I got to experience some of the scalp care they are spotlighting this season as the foundation of gorgeous, resilient hair.

On my recent visit, in the hands of the talented and knowledgeable Jade Summers, I was treated to one of Hare and Bone’s signature scalp care treatments, and it was a revelation.

The appointment began with an in-depth chat about my hair goals. We discussed my hair texture, lifestyle, and daily hair care routine. Jess also performed a detailed analysis of my hair and scalp, which highlighted areas that needed attention, which for me was oil control and a much needed cut.

The next step was prepping the hair with with the Davines Naturaltech Rebalancing Shampoo mixed with the Elevating Clay Supercleanser, an exclusive blend that combines the shampoo’s deep-cleaning properties with the clay’s oil-absorbing abilities. Left on the hair for five minutes, this unique commination, available only in-salon, works wonders in balancing oil production and purifying the scalp.

Following the shampoo, Jess applied Davines’ Naturaltech Detoxifying Scrub Shampoo. This step was crucial for removing dead skin cells and unclogging hair follicles, which can become blocked by sweat and styling products, especially in the heat of summer. The exfoliation process was gentle yet effective, leaving my scalp feeling invigorated and my hair bouncier.

We finished the treatment up with a sleek bob cut, just in time for the summer and expertly trimmed to the last strand. From my experience, I can say that what sets Hare and Bone apart, aside from their impeccable service and chic ambiance, is their focus on practical, wearable styles that match your lifestyle. You won't leave the salon with an impractical or outlandish cut. Instead, the talented team ensures you walk out with a look that’s not only stylish but also manageable and suited to your needs.

This summer, we should all take a cue from Hare and Bone and refine our haircare routine by starting at the root (literally!). Treat yourself to a session at this award-winning salon where your scalp can get some much needed TLC to ensure your hair looks and feels its best. With a glass of fizz in hand and the knowledge of Sam Burnett and his team, it’s an experience that promises expert results.
