Protecting Your Color : Our Favorite Treatments Part 3

Fri, 09 May 2025 19:09:31 GMT

At Layla A Social Salon, we know that maintaining bright blondes, vibrant highlights, and bold fashion tones takes more than just a good shampoo — it takes a full care routine. In this final part of our Round Table, our stylists dive deeper into the tips, tricks, and products that keep color-treated hair healthy, hydrated, and glowing.

Rischala’s Take: Keeping Blondes Bright and Healthy

Blonde hair always needs a little extra love. As Rischala explained, even when using soft, gentle purple toning products, hydration and a touch of protein are essential. Traditional purple shampoos can sometimes leave hair feeling rough and dry. However, the Sunset Boulevard Blonde Toning Mask changes the game — infused with shea butter and velvet flower, it leaves hair soft, hydrated, and toned without the brittleness.

It’s also a great option for those have natural gray hair that needs brightening.

With the addition of plant stem cells, this mask strengthens hair helping blondes and highlighted guests maintain strength, shine, and color clarity all at once.

Melissa’s Pick: Teacup Rinse

Melissa shared her love for the Teacup Peach and Kombucha Rinse , a must-have for anyone battling hard water buildup — especially here in Las Vegas. Hard water minerals can leave hair feeling heavy, dull, and dry. Teacup uses peach leaf extract to remove mineral buildup and kombucha to magnetically draw out impurities, all while locking in color and smoothing the hair.

Use it after shampoo and conditioner by applying directly to the scalp with the nozzle, massaging it in, and rinsing with cold water for best results. The kombucha helps seal the cuticle, leaving hair soft, shiny, and full of bounce. It’s like a clarifier that doesn’t strip moisture — perfect for vivid tones, highlights, and overall hair health.

Extra Tips for Color Care

Our stylists recommend a few key habits for maintaining your color between visits to Layla A Social Salon:

Always rinse with cold water to help seal the cuticle and lock in color.

Use heat protectants before styling to prevent fading and damage.

Look for products with built-in UV protection, especially if you’re spending time outdoors.

Stick to high-quality, sulfate-free, and paraben-free products like R+Co and BLEU to keep hair healthy and vibrant.

We love that R+Co BLEU products aren’t just incredible for the hair — they’re also eco-friendly. The packaging is PCR (post-consumer recycled), caps are biodegradable sugarcane, and everything is gluten-free and safe for sensitive guests. It's a brand we’re proud to use and recommend for protecting your investment in your hair.

Thank you so much for joining us for this Round Table series! We hope you’ve picked up some new favorite products and tips for keeping your highlights, blonding, and bold colors looking their best. We’ll see you at the next Round Table

Protecting Your Color : Our Favorite Treatments Part 2

Fri, 09 May 2025 19:09:30 GMT

At Layla A Social Salon, we always aim to to protect our guests’ hair—especially when it comes to maintaining highlights, blonding, and rich, dimensional color. In this segment of our Round Table, our stylists are sharing more R+Co favorites that help keep color fresh, vibrant, and soft between appointments.

Tzigane uses the Gemstone Glossing Mask from mids to ends while her guests' root touch-ups process, or during partial and full highlight services. She’s had multiple clients comment on how noticeably softer their hair felt after adding this small enhancement—and several have even taken it home to incorporate into their weekly routine. For long-time guests, it’s been a game-changing upgrade to their usual services.

Carina’s Pick: Gemstone Glossing Mask

Carina introduced us to the BLEU Primary Color Mask , a more indulgent treatment for color longevity. While all products in the BLEU color line are safe for preserving color, this one goes a step further by strengthening the cuticle from the inside out. With built-in UV protection and an ultra-luxurious texture, this mask is perfect for anyone looking to maintain shine and color clarity—especially those who love bold tones or regularly get blonding services. Use it once a week in place of your conditioner and let it sit for 3–5 minutes for noticeably softer, shinier hair.

Rischala’s Pick : Sunset Boulevard Blonde Toning Mask

Rischala, known as our resident “blonde-a-holic,” shared her must-have: the Sunset Boulevard Blonde Toning Mask. Her first test? Checking the pigment. This mask passed with flying colors—literally. It toned away brass in just five minutes without leaving her hair dry, which is a common issue with many purple products. Instead of harsh direct dyes, this mask uses pigment from violet and lavender flowers, making it gentler on the hair. It also contains nourishing shea butter and real pearl extract to add softness, hydration, and shine. It’s perfect for blondes who want to stay bright and cool-toned without sacrificing hair health.

At Layla A Social Salon, we believe professional products make all the difference in maintaining healthy, beautiful hair between salon visits. Whether you're a brunette preserving depth or a blonde brightening up, these treatments help you get the most out

of your color.

Stay tuned for the final part of our Round Table, where Melissa shares her favorite leave-in protector — perfect for daily defense and color care

Protecting Your Color : Our Favorite Treatments Part 1

Fri, 09 May 2025 19:09:29 GMT

Thanks for joining another Round Table here at Layla A Social Salon. I’m Tzigane, owner and stylist at Layla. Every few months we love to come together and share some of our favorite products — and today, we’re focusing on color retention.

As summer approaches and we spend more time outside, at the pool, or at the lake, it’s important to not only keep hair hydrated but also preserve the beautiful color we create in the salon. Whether you’re rocking vibrant brunettes, dimensional blondes, or customized highlights, protecting your color between appointments is key to keeping your hair looking its best.

Marina’s Pick: Gemstone Glossing Mask

Marina, one of our talented stylists and resident product expert, shared her love for the Gemstone Glossing Mask. It’s packed with vitamins C and E, plus guava extract, making it incredibly hydrating and great for anyone wanting to maintain color or combat dryness. The glossing mask enhances shine, softens hair, fights frizz, and can even be used on non-colored hair for overall hydration. Bonus: it gives off a beautiful, iridescent glow when applied! It’s especially perfect for those with blonding services, as it helps lock in vibrancy and keep hair feeling silky and healthy between touch-ups.

Tzigane’s Pick: Gemstone Pre-Shampoo Color Protect Mask

For those of us who are always on the go, I recommend the Gemstone Pre-Shampoo Mask. It’s simple to use — just apply before getting into the bath or shower, leave on for 5–10 minutes, then shampoo and condition as usual. It’s ideal for locking in color, keeping hair soft, and saving time.

I love using this both personally and professionally behind the chair, especially for my guests with highlights and blonde transformations.

R+Co Ringtone Curl Defining Cream: The Hydration Hero for Curly Hair at Layla A Social Salon

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 22:50:29 GMT

Why Hydration is Key for Curly Hair in Las Vegas

Living in a desert climate like Las Vegas means your hair is constantly searching for moisture, especially if it’s curly. Frizz often occurs because curls "reach out" into the air, desperately seeking hydration. That’s where R+Co Ringtone comes in—it's packed with deeply moisturizing ingredients to quench even the thirstiest curls, leaving them soft, defined, and full of life.

What Makes R+Co Ringtone So Special?
Ringtone is more than just a styler—it’s a hydration hero. Here’s why it stands out:

Key Ingredients : Infused with agave nectar, this curl cream delivers a powerful dose of hydration to every strand. It also contains vitamins A and E, which nourish and strengthen hair while enhancing its natural shine.
Curl Memory : One of the best things about Ringtone is its ability to provide long-lasting shape and definition. Whether you’re rocking waves, curls, or coils, this product ensures your style holds beautifully all day.
Lightweight and Non-Sticky : Ringtone enhances curls without weighing them down or leaving behind a sticky residue. Your hair will feel as good as it looks!

How to Use R+Co Ringtone
Here’s how I achieve stunning curls with Ringtone at Layla A Social Salon:

For my model today, I started with R+Co Cassette Shampoo and Conditioner. This duo is perfect for softening and enhancing curls, creating the ideal foundation for styling.
Always apply Ringtone when your hair is soaking wet or at least damp. This helps the product penetrate the cuticle and fully activate the curl.
Take a small amount of Ringtone in your hands and work it through your hair, following the natural separation of each curl. For extra definition, wrap curls around your index and middle fingers before letting them fall naturally.
Use creaseless clips to hold curls in place while they set. This helps maintain the curl’s shape and structure.

Why Curly Blondes Will Love It
If you’re a blonde with curly hair, you’ll absolutely adore how Ringtone works to enhance your highlights, babylights, or balayage. Its hydrating formula not only keeps your curls soft and bouncy but also helps maintain the vibrancy of your color. At Layla A Social Salon, we specialize in blonding techniques for curly hair, and Ringtone is one of our go-to products for achieving flawless end results.

Welcome to the very first blog post from Layla A Social Salon!

We're excited to bring you insider tips, product highlights, and everything you need to keep your hair looking its best. For our debut post, we're diving into the world of dry shampoos—your go-to solution for fresh, voluminous hair between washes.

At Layla Salon in Summerlin, Las Vegas —proudly woman-owned and voted Best of Las Vegas in 2021 and 2023—we believe in the power of dry shampoo to not only keep your hair looking great between washes but to extend the life of your color. Frequent washing can strip hair of essential oils and even dull the vibrancy of blonde, highlighted, hand painted or colored hair. By incorporating high-quality dry shampoos like Skyline, Badlands, Spiritualized, or Death Valley, you’re protecting your hair color investment and keeping your hair feeling fresh and stylish every day.

Skyline is a standout choice in our dry shampoo lineup. Featuring Diatomaceous Earth, this powder absorbs impurities, adds volume, and gives hair a subtle grip. It’s ideal for anyone needing extra lift or a refresh between washes. The mineral-based formula not only helps absorb oil but also supports a healthy scalp by removing loose dandruff flakes. Blonde and highlighted hair requires special care to maintain its brightness and tone. One of the best ways to keep blonde hair looking fresh is by using dry shampoo, a staple that extends time between washes, preserves color, and keeps highlighted strands looking vibrant.

Badlands is both a dry shampoo and a styling paste, making it ideal for those days when you want to extend the life of your blowout and add texture. With volcanic ash for volume and jojoba oil to hydrate, this dry shampoo brings incredible second-day texture without leaving a heavy residue. If you’re craving a boost for your pixie cut or looking for that coveted “lived-in” look, Badlands is the go-to choice for that extra bit of edge and volume.

For those with sensitive scalps or who love a fresh feel, Spiritualized Dry Shampoo Mist offers a whole new approach. With a micellar formula and suspended cleansing powder, this mist is perfect for a lightweight cleanse that doesn’t leave a powdery residue. Infused with glycerin and castor oil, it hydrates the scalp and hair while adding softness and shine, making it ideal for use in between shampoos or after workouts. For blondes, dry shampoo preserves color by reducing frequent washing, which can dull highlights. It keeps blonde hair vibrant without stripping away the salon color.

When you need a quick refresh that also boosts volume, Death Valley is your answer. This dry shampoo aerosol includes silica to remove excess oil, rice protein from Brazil for elasticity, and Pro-Vitamin B5 for thickness and body. With a clean finish that doesn’t leave a white cast, Death Valley is suitable even for dark-haired guests. It’s fantastic for adding body on second-day hair, perfect for creating that tousled Bardot vibe or a bit of rocker edge.

Ready to try these incredible dry shampoos? Visit Layla A Social Salon in Summerlin, LasVegas to pick up your new favorite and experience the difference for yourself. We’re here to guide you to the perfect product to match your lifestyle and hair needs. Here’s to longer-lasting styles, fresh volume, and fabulous hair!
