Summers on Cape Cod are beautiful. It’s why tourists flock here from around the world crowding our roads and beaches. Packed schedules can mean that you haven’t taken the time you deserve for you and long days in the sunshine can damage hair and makeup.

 

The team at Salon 6A and Spa have been working on Cape Cod for over 25 years operating from their Barnstable Village location for 12 years. They are experts at keeping you looking good as the seasons transition.

 

We asked for their thoughts on what areas could be suffering after some time in the sun.

 

Hair Repair

While some people can walk away with sun kissed locks, hair can suffer some serious blows during the summer. Lori Geiler Co-Owner of Salon 6A and Spa says that hair treatments are the number 1 service requested during the transition from summer to fall. Deep conditioning and oil treatments are done in the salon to replace the moisture and strength that has been lost due to summer sun, salt, and chlorine.

Hair color often fades after being exposed to excessive sunlight. “Many people will do color repair after the summer. They’ll ask for color glazing to bring back the shine,” said Jenn Wood, co-owner of Salon 6A and Spa. However it’s also a great time to transition hair color from bright summer shades to warmer autumn tones. “Moving into September and October, people like to tone it down and add some depth that summer sun has depleted,” explained Wood.

 

Nails

Even though you may have kept up with pedicures to look great in summer sandles, your nails may need a little extra TLC. Your hair color isn’t the only thing that fades during the summer. Nail color can fade as well. In addition, all those days walking barefoot in the sand and exposing heels in flip flops may have lead to thickening of the skin. At Salon 6A and Spa, they use a charcoal scrub and mineral salt treatment during a pedicure can help to restore and soften the soles of your feet.

 

Facials

Nothing takes a beating during the summer like your face. After a full season of sun, ocean air, saltwater, and chlorine, your face could use some pampering. A fall facial will cleanse and restore your skin. Plus it has the added benefit of giving you some intense relaxation time. The team at Salon 6A and Spa will makes sure you leave exfoliated, moisturized, and rejuvenated.

 

Originally started in Europe, the oxygen facial is the ultimate in hydration for damaged dry skin. It has been known to treat acne by counteracting harmful bacteria. This lessens the potential for infection, inflammation, and redness.  During an oxygen facial, 87 vitamins and minerals are put on the skin and then oxygen is delivered with an oxygen machine. 10 sessions over a 4 month period is recommended.

 

Skin Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy goes beyond the basic derma-rolling you might have seen before. It’s is an exciting new natural treatment that improves skin texture, smooth wrinkles and fine lines, soften scars, burns cellulite and stretch marks. It’s proven effective on fine lines, dull skin, enlarged pores, spider veins, acne scars, and smoker lines. The staff at Salon 6A and Spa tell us you’ll see results after the first week of treatment. The before and after pictures are astounding. Derma-rolling can also be combined with natural serums to promote hair growth. Salon 6A and Spa has quite a few male and female clients who use derma-rolling to combat baldness. Don’t be fooled by at home products on the Internet. This procedure must be done by a licensed and certified esthetician. Contact Kim at Salon 6A and Spa for your free 15 minute consultation today.

 

After a long summer of hosting visitors and attending events, you deserve to take some time out to treat yourself. While you’ve been pampering everyone else, it’s important to remember to pamper yourself. A massage at Salon 6A and Spa with the talented Rosemary Campane is the perfect pick me up.

 

Whether you choose an entire day of pampering or want to pick up one or two services, the staff at Salon 6A and Spa are ready to welcome you to group of customers they’ve come to call friends and family. The majority of their clients have followed the stylists from other salons to Salon 6A and Spa. “About 60% of our customers have been with us forever,” said Wood and Giler, “We have people we only see when they come to the Cape and others who come by every week. But we all feel like we’ve know each other forever. It creates a fun atmosphere which immediately makes first time visitors feel at home too.” It’s an environment that draws people back. “We have people who have moved away but they’ll still only get their hair done here. Or they’ll say I’ll get a cut somewhere else but no one is coloring my hair but you,” said Wood.
