My Own Trials with Hairstylists

I know that gluten free hairstylists are hard to come by, even I have had trouble finding someone to do my own hair, so this is what I do...

FOR MY OWN HAIR:

1) Find a stylist that is very compassionate, even though he/she may not gluten free, find someone concerned about the safety and health of your hair.  I love my hairstylist Harriet, my best hairstylist ever!!!! 

2) I only use gluten free hair color, personally I only use Aloxxi color on myself and all allergy clients.

3) I carry my own shampoo and conditioner back to the shampoo bowl and she only uses what I hand over. No mistakes and she doesn't have to have extra pressure.

4) I use my own Monat styling products and styling is done by myself.  Again, I insure that all products from color to hairspray are gluten free.

FOR MY CLIENTS:

Color - My clients only are offered Aloxxi Color, it's certified gluten free and vegan.

Shampoo and Conditioner - I always use Monat for shampoo and conditioner, again certified gluten free.

Styling Products - Monat for styling products and I have some select other products that are hand picked like hairsprays that do not have any gluten.  (Upcoming post on hairsprays!)


SO WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WHEN WALKING INTO A SALON WITHOUT ME?

Sorry, wish I could help everyone but I don't know if flying to Chicago for color and cut is possible!

1) Go to a stylist at a salon that uses Aloxxi haircolor!  https://aloxxi.com/salonlocator/search/

2) Bring your own products or call ahead to inquire about what the salon uses. Ask to speak to the stylist you will be working with. (WARNING NOT ALL GLUTEN FREE PRODUCTS ARE CREATED EQUAL...Meaning not all GF shampoo is color safe or healthy, it maybe just void of gluten.)  Here's my Monat link, best results of a gluten free line hands down! mymonat.com/marisak

3) Bring your styling products and offer to skip styling if it's a problem for the stylist.  Chances are if you call ahead and explain, you will not have any problems.

4) Tip the stylist and hug them, make them your Facebook friend and sing their praises because there needs to be more GF friends in the hair world.  Then tag them in my comments section, I'm going to be doing interviews and reviews of other stylists, so please speak up!
