What is Dimensional Color?

You’ve probably seen dimensional color trending on Instagram, but what does it actually mean? Simply put, it’s all about depth—the opposite of flat, one-tone hair. While both cut and color can create depth, today, we’re diving into how dimensional hair color transforms your look.

Think of a blank canvas. To create movement, artists use contrasting highlights and lowlights. The same principle applies to hair—by blending multiple tones, dimensional color adds volume, vibrancy, and longevity to your style.

Who is Dimensional Color For?

The beauty of dimensional color? It’s fully customizable for everyone. Whether you want a natural sun-kissed glow or bold, statement-making hues, this technique enhances your hair’s:

 Depth & movement – No more flat, dull color.
 Longevity – Softer grow-out means fewer root touch-ups.
 Blending & fading – Seamless transitions that look fresh for longer.
 Extension integration – A flawless blend between natural hair and extensions.

Dimensional Color is More Than Just Highlights

A quick Instagram search for dimensional color might pull up tons of highlight-heavy looks. But true dimensional color is more than just a few lighter pieces—it’s about the overall harmony of shades.

Balayage: The Ultimate Dimension Creator

One of the best techniques for dimensional color? Balayage. This freehand painting method softens the transition between your base color and highlights, preventing harsh grow-out lines. The result? A natural, lived-in blend that keeps your hair looking effortlessly fresh.

Want Bold Dimension? Try Color Blocking

Dimensional color isn’t just for subtle, sun-kissed looks—it can be bold and striking too! Color blocking, where an entire panel of hair is a different shade, creates high contrast while maintaining movement and depth.

Why Dimensional Color Makes Hair Extensions Look Better

If you wear hair extensions, dimensional color is the key to a perfect blend. A solid color can be difficult to match as your natural hair fades, but multi-tonal extensions seamlessly integrate, creating a more natural, cohesive look.

The Bottom Line: Why Settle for Flat Color?

Dimensional color makes hair look fuller, richer, and more dynamic. Whether you prefer soft and natural tones or high-contrast boldness, this technique is fully customized to you.

 Ready to upgrade your color? Book a consultation at Fluff Salon in Downtown Denver with Master Colorist & Extension Specialist Danni Maureaux today. Your dream dimensional color awaits!

Unleash Your Inner Mixtress! DIY Hair Treats Straight From Your Kitchen

Hey there Fluff fans! Ready to turn your kitchen into a DIY hair salon? Let’s look at some fun ideas that your hair will love!

DIY Hair Goodies! A Recipe for Love <3

Today I have three fabulous recipes to dish up some at-home haircare:

1. Avocado-Honey Mash for Hydration

Is your hair thirsty? Whip up a blend of ripe avocado and a tablespoon of honey. Smear it on your hair, let it sit for 30 minutes, then rinse for a hydrated glow!

2. The Banana-Yogurt Shine Booster

Bring on the bling! Mash a ripe banana, add two tablespoons of natural yogurt, and apply to your hair. Rinse after 30 minutes for hair that shines like a superstar.

3. Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse

Want a dose of sleek and shiny? Mix one part apple cider vinegar with two parts water. Use this as a final rinse after shampooing to add a glossy finish to your locks. I wouldn’t recommend this one very often with hair extensions, maybe once a month at the most! We also can offer this service at Fluff if you’re nervous to try it at home.

Let’s Talk About Hair Extension Textures

Hey Fluff fans! So, I installed curly hair extensions yesterday for a customer at Fluff and I had an idea for an article since everyone’s hair that visits us for extensions is truly different. Do some of you feel a little overwhelmed by the different textures available when it comes to hair extensions or are you worried that extensions may not match your hair’s texture and will be detectable from a mile away? It’s actually a reasonable thing to wonder and this week I had to overcome some texture hurdles, so let’s talk more about texture.

Hair Extension Textures

From straight to soft waves and from classic curls to deep curls, the textures available now in hair extensions is as diverse as natural hair. Here are the most popular ones:

Straight Hair Extensions

Sleek, smooth, and shiny, straight hair extensions can instantly add length and volume to your hair. They are easy to manage and versatile for various styles.

Wavy Hair Extensions

Wavy hair extensions are a favorite for those seeking a little extra body and movement. These extensions look incredibly natural and add an effortless charm to your appearance.

Curly Hair Extensions

For a more dramatic look, curly hair extensions can provide the bounce and volume you’re after. They can range from loose curls to tight ringlets, offering plenty of styling options.

Choosing the Perfect Texture

When selecting hair extensions, it’s crucial to consider your natural hair texture. Our expert stylists at Fluff Hair Extensions Studio can help you choose extensions that blend seamlessly with your hair for a natural, undetectable finish. Not all extension textures are available in every color, so sometimes a little bit of creativity is required to create the best look and be budget conscious at the same time.

Maintaining Your Hair Extensions

Regardless of the texture, all hair extensions require proper care to maintain their look and longevity. We provide guidance on how to care for your extensions, ensuring they continue to look fabulous for as long as possible.

Color Me Curious – Thoughts Behind Your Hair Color Choices

Hi Fluff fans, Brittany here! Have you ever wondered why you’re drawn to certain hair colors? Does a fiery red appeal to your bold spirit, or do cool blues and purples feel more ‘you’? Your hair color choices may reveal more about you than you realize, hinting at elements of your personality and mood. Let’s think more about the world of color psychology!

Emotional Connections

Color can evoke strong emotional reactions. Warm colors like reds and oranges might ignite passion and energy, while cooler shades like blues and greens could bring feelings of calm and serenity. If you’re naturally a brunette but always opt for blonde, it might be an unconscious craving for a more light-hearted, fun-loving persona.

The Power of Perception

Just as colors sway our feelings, they also influence how others perceive us. In society, blondes are often associated with fun and freedom, brunettes with reliability and intelligence, and redheads with strength and fiery personalities. Your hair color can become an extension of your identity and influence how you’re perceived in the world.

Your Color, Your Mood

Ever noticed a mood shift with a new hair color? That’s no coincidence. Lighter hues can inspire a more upbeat, cheerful disposition, while darker shades might lead to feelings of introspection and depth. Want a confidence boost? Opt for a bold, vibrant color that makes you feel like the star you are!

Empowered Choices

Your hair, your rules! At Fluff, we’re here to guide you through the vast color spectrum, helping you choose a color that suits your skin tone, personality, and lifestyle. As your trusted color therapists, we’re ready to create a hair color that resonates with you on a deeper level.

So, next time you’re contemplating a hair color change, delve a little deeper. It might just lead you to a better understanding of yourself! Book an appointment with us and let’s embark on this color adventure together.

Bridging Cultures through Hair: Unique and Traditional Hairstyles Around the World

One could say that hair speaks a universal language. A hairstyle can communicate so much about a person’s identity, cultural heritage, and personal style. Today I wanted to write about how different cultures express their uniqueness through their hairstyles and how these styles influence modern hairstyling at Fluff.

African Braids: A Rich Tapestry of History

Whether it’s Cornrows, Bantu knots, or Box braids, African hairstyles have a rich history dating back thousands of years. These intricate styles, besides being aesthetically stunning, often carry cultural significance and tell stories of the individual’s social status, tribe, and heritage. Today, African braids have gained global recognition, influencing modern hairstyling trends and serving as a symbol of black beauty and identity. While I can’t promise we can do some of the African intricate braid styles that look like they took eight hours to accomplish, our team does do beautiful braids and styling and we may be able to capture the essence of some of these styles in a forty-five minute service!

Japan’s Geisha Hairstyles: The Art of Elegance

Japanese Geisha hairstyles, known as ‘Nihongami’, are the epitome of elegance and intricacy. These traditional styles, often adorned with beautiful kanzashi (hair ornaments), convey the Geisha’s rank and the season. The influence of these styles is seen in modern hairstyling, with many embracing these elegant updos for formal occasions. This hair is so beautiful and special to me, one could devote an entire lifetime to creating these hairstyles!

Embracing Diversity at Fluff

At Fluff, we celebrate the diversity of hair. We’re inspired by these global hair traditions and love incorporating these elements into our styling. Whether you’re looking to honor your cultural roots or simply want to try something unique and different, our team of expert stylists at Fluff are here to bring your hair vision to life.

Inspiring Stories from Our Clients

We’ve been honored to serve clients who wanted to explore their cultural heritage through their hairstyles or those who wished to experiment with something new and different. These interactions have not only broadened our stylistic repertoire but also enriched our understanding of hair as a medium of cultural expression.

Stay tuned for more interesting hair journeys as we continue to celebrate the universal language of hair at Fluff!

Secrets of a Hair Extension Specialist: What Clients Don’t Know About Getting Extensions

Good morning Fluff fans! From the outside, getting hair extensions may seem like a simple, straightforward process – but in reality I have to say there’s much more to it than meets the eye. Join me on behind the chair as a Fluff Hair Extensions Studio specialist. I’d love to reveal some of the special secrets of the trade!

The Art of Consultation

Every successful hair extension journey begins with a thorough consultation. This is where the stylist analyses the client’s hair, discussing their lifestyle, desired look, and hair care routine. It’s much more than just choosing length and color – it’s about creating a custom, seamless blend that compliments each individual client.

Yesterday I had such a great consultation with a woman that had been experiencing significant hair-loss after having Covid-19 twice… and a bunch of boosters, which many believe lead to increased hair-loss. Getting hair extentions is a big decision and investment and should not be rushed into.  I highly recommend taking your time, doing research and meeting with a handful of different salons and specialists.  Just like color, sticking with the same stylist will ensure a successful hair extensions journey.  “Chair hopping” can increase hair and scalp damage and often times lead to step backs in your hair goals. Hair extensions are a solution to a problem.  It is important that your hair stylist takes the time to sit with you and listen to your unique problems and then offer solutions. 

Sometimes the stylist you are meeting with may not specialize in the solution that is right for your unique problem.  The best and most professional hair stylist will offer you a referral to another stylist, salon and or company that is better equipped to help you with your problem. This particular client, given the location and the amount of hair loss she was experiencing, the more well known hair extension methods such as I-tips, K-tips, Hand-tied, Tape-in or even clip in would have been too heavy for her natural hair causing more damage and would have transitioned her insecurity from “can everyone see my thinning hair” to “can everyone see my hair extensions”. The problem was feeling insecure with how her hair looked, putting in a well known method would have given her more hair, but not solved the actual problem of feeling insecure with her hair. 

For her unique hair problem, I recommended a hair topper.  A hair topper addresses her thinning hair AND will address the hair insecurity. One has two choices with a hair topper:  You can start with a clip-in version OR you can get a tape-in version that is a more permanent option.  I consider myself to be a true professional and specialist and I truly love sitting down with my clients face to face and simply listening, I also love troubleshooting and I love finding solutions to my clients problems…. even if that solution requires me to offer them a referral or be able to offer a recommendation where a more expensive solution could be offered.

Color Matching Genius

Hopefully we make it look easy, but do you think your stylist just glances at your hair and picks a matching color from a swatch book? It’s not so simple, I wish it were! Perfect color matching involves a keen eye, understanding of color theory, and sometimes even custom dying the extensions. The goal is to achieve a seamless blend that looks entirely natural.

The Physics of Placement

Where the extensions are placed on the head is not arbitrary – it’s a strategic process governed by the laws of physics. Placements are determined by the client’s hair density, head shape, and natural hair movement. Incorrect placement can lead to discomfort and unnatural movement. We take pride in our methodical approach to ensure a comfortable, natural-looking result.

Perfecting the Blend

Once the extensions are applied, the stylist then meticulously cuts and styles the hair to blend the extensions flawlessly with the client’s natural hair. This requires a keen eye, a steady hand, and a deep understanding of how different hair types respond to cutting and styling.

Maintenance Is Key

Maintenance is the secret sauce to long-lasting, healthy extensions. Our stylists are also educators, imparting their knowledge on proper home care, recommended products, and tips for preserving the life of the extensions. Following the advice of your stylist can make all the difference!

While the process of getting hair extensions can be intricate and involved, it’s all part of our commitment to ensuring our clients leave our studio feeling confident and beautiful. Come experience the Fluff difference at our Hair Extensions Studio in Denver!

If Your Hair Could Talk, What Would It Say?

Good morning Fluff fans! As I’m waking up today, I had a fun thought: have you ever had one of those days where you just wish your hair could tell you what it needs? 🤷‍♀️ Well, for a moment let’s pretend we live in a whimsical world where your hair has a mind of its own. I’m pretty sure some days my hair does! 💭🌈

The Morning Battle Cry

The sun starts coming up and you roll out of bed, your hair groans, “Five more minutes, please, I’m still tired!” It’s not quite ready to face the blow dryer’s heat or the tugs of the hairbrush. 🛏️💤

Wash Day Woes

As you lather up with your favorite shampoo, your hair gasps, “Oh no, not the harsh sulfates again! Where’s the nourishing Alter Ego Italy products when you need them?” 🚿😱

The Colour Confessions

Your hair, ever so shyly, might whisper, “Remember when we went platinum blonde for summer and ended up more ‘straw yellow’? Maybe it’s time we visited Fluff’s color experts again for a refreshing tone-up.” 🎨👩‍🎨 I don’t know about you, but my hair and I would be having some pretty funny conversations about the past!

Summer Style Shout-out

If your hair could squeal with delight, it would definitely do so on the day you decide to try out those fun beach waves. “Finally, a break from the flat iron! Surfer vibes, here we come!” 🏖️🏄‍♀️

My Final Word

As you tuck in for the night, your hair sighs, “Let’s do a deep-conditioning mask tomorrow, okay? Good night!” 🌙💤

Well, isn’t it a fun thought if our hair could talk? And while it can’t actually voice out its concerns, it’s always giving us signs about what it needs. Listen to your hair and treat it right with Fluff Denver Salon’s range of services and top-quality products. 💕💇‍♀️

Oops… I Did it Again! – Common Hair Extension Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Hi Fluff fans! Have you ever had one of those “Oh no!” hair moments? Welp, you’re not alone! We at Fluff Hair Extensions Studio have heard it all. So, let’s dive into some of the most common hair extension mistakes and how to dodge them.

The Tug-of-War Mishap

Much of our staff at the time would probably remember… Well, let’s call her ‘Jane’. She loved her new extensions, but the combing… argh! She’d yank her brush through her hair like she was deep sea fishing and caught a monster of a fish! In the end, her extensions suffered, and so did her natural hair. The lesson? She finally got it right with a lot of coaching, as she figured out she should always hold the extensions with one hand while  gently combing from the ends and working her way up with the other. A natural boar bristle detangling brush can be your best friend!

Like a Desert Situation

Then there was a client of ours who thought washing extensions daily was a good idea (she got her extensions somewhere else so didn’t have the advantage of a Fluff consultation!). She ended up with extensions as dry as the Sahara. Hair extensions don’t produce natural oils like our scalp, so over-washing can leave them parched. Washing 2-3 times a week is plenty, and remember Alter Ego Italys Silk Blend Oil or De-Lite Protection Oil is your hair extensions best friend!

The Product Overload Predicament

And who could forget ‘Sarah’? Though we recommended against tape-ins for someone in her line of work, where let’s just say she would get very sweaty at night, she did not listen and insisted on coupling tape-ins with sew-ins, even though her hair was naturally greasy (on top of it all). I think she also fell in love with every hair product she saw, and her extensions paid the price and her tape-ins would slip out every few days. Remember, ladies and gents, less is more when it comes to most products and tape-ins simply are not a good fit for hair that is overly oily or if you put the wrong products in your hair, or if you happen to sweat… a lot! Stick to a quality shampoo, conditioner, and a heat protectant that are approved by your trusty stylist… and if you stylist recommends against tape-ins, be sure to listen! And thanks again for the bad review when the tape-ins slipped out and for not listening to us in the first place!

Lessons Learned

Yes, we’ve all had our share of hair ‘oops’ moments. The important thing is to learn from them. At Fluff Hair Extensions Studio, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, making sure your extension experience is nothing short of fabulous!

From Runway to Everyday – Fluff is Translating High Fashion Hair Trends into Wearable Styles

Hi Fluff fans! While high fashion runways might seem a world away from our daily Denver lives, they serve as an extraordinary source of inspiration, even for your next hairdo… and yes, even in Denver! Here at Fluff Denver Salon, our skilled stylists stay on top of these trends to bring a touch of runway glamour to your everyday hair style.

The Runway: A Source of Hairstyle Inspiration

Runways are a lot of fun and are a hub of creativity, where designers let their imaginations run wild. However, that mohawk made of peacock feathers might not be suitable for your office meeting or for waiting in line for an hour for ice cream at the Little Man Ice Cream shop in the Highlands this summer. The key is to interpret these trends, taking the essence and translating it into something more wearable. I have personally done hair at loads of runway shows, especially in Los Angeles when I was doing hair for MTV and E! back in the day and I have to say it’s very exciting, particularly when you only have moments to change a hair style along with an outfit!

The Translation: Runway to Everyday

Let’s explore some recent hair trends and how we at Fluff can help translate them for your daily style.

Runway Trend: Ultra Volume

A big trend we’ve seen on the runways is ultra-volume, think ’60s Brigitte Bardot. It’s a bold look that screams confidence, but can feel a bit over the top for running errands.

The Everyday Fluff Translation: Add body to your hair with some subtle backcombing at the crown, giving you that little extra oomph. Pair with a spritz of Alter Ego’s Hasty Too Fluff Up for an added boost of volume.

Runway Trend: Artistic Braids

Braids are a runway staple. From intricate designs to bold and futuristic styles, they always catch the eye.

The Everyday Fluff Translation: Try a side-swept fishtail braid or a sleek braided bun for a chic yet practical everyday look. Both are easy ways to elevate your everyday style while maintaining that runway inspiration.

Ready to bring a touch of runway to your everyday look? Our talented stylists at Fluff Denver Salon are eager to help you translate these high fashion trends into wearable styles. Call us today to book your appointment!

Your Fluff stylist can guide you to the right products for your hair type and condition. We are loving the Urban Proof and SheWonder lines for life here at 5280ft above sea level!

Timeless Elegance – Let’s Revisit Vintage Hairstyles!

Hi Fluff fans! So, I’ve been on a bit of a classic film kick lately. I find myself wondering if it’s just me or have you too wished you could bring back styles like Marilyn Monroe’s glamorous waves or sport Audrey Hepburn’s chic updo or even the hairdos worn by Doris Day’s fun blond characters? While I do love the hairstyles of today, I do sometimes miss the hairdos that were popular in tha past.

At Fluff, we’re here to help you channel your inner vintage diva. Let’s look at styles of the past and revisit the elegant hairstyles that defined entire decades, and how you can wear them today. Believe it or not, many of our talented artists can recreate these looks!

The Roaring 20s: Flapper Chic

When we think 1920s, we think flappers! These fashion-forward women chopped their locks into a short bob, a scandalously stylish statement. Today, the bob remains an embodiment of confidence and freedom.

The Fabulous 50s: Hollywood Glam

From Marilyn Monroe’s signature platinum blonde curls to Elizabeth Taylor’s soft waves, the 50s were all about Hollywood glam. These styles, effortlessly elegant yet bold, can still turn heads at any event.

The Groovy 70s: Disco Fever

The 70s were all about big hair and bold styles. Think Farrah Fawcett’s feathered waves and disco-inspired voluminous curls. With a modern twist, these styles can make a fun and flirty statement.

Bringing Vintage Styles to Life with Fluff Denver

Whether you’re a fan of the classy 50s or the groovy 70s, our stylists at Fluff Denver can help you reinterpret these vintage hairstyles for a fresh, modern look. From color to cut or just a blowdry and style, we’ve got you covered. Book your appointment today and add a touch of timeless elegance to your style!

Colorful Hair Trends from Around the World

Hi Fluff fans! Want bold, beautiful hair color that stands out in a crowd this summer? Sometimes looking far away from home is the best place to find new and unique styles that you won’t see here in Denver every day. If you happen to have plans to travel this summer, pay attention and you’ll notice that different countries and even regions within countries have very fun and different hair color trends.

I’m admittedly a bit of a hair nerd and enthusiast and nuances in hair is what I’m paying attention to wherever I happen to travel (and even when I’m right here at homeI can be found researching hair trends and color and extensions techniques!). If you’d like to take a quick trip with me, we can explore some hair styles that are trending worldwide, I’ve been doing some research so I thought I’d write about the fun color trends that I’m seeing abroad today!

Brazil’s Bright and Bold Streaks

In Brazil, it seems to be all about making a statement with bright, bold streaks. I haven’t been to Brazil for a few years now, but if you’re planning to go, it’s a truly great place to visit to witness some very cool hair and fashion (and even plastic surgery!) trends first-hand. Know the bold streaks that I’m talking about? If not, check it out on Google… and Brazil has it’s own style of balayage as well and I’ve seen some fun trends at the moment in Brazil where women are bringing back the 90’s trend of bold face framing highlights.

If you wanted to do something a little different, you too could rock some daring streaks with our team of experienced colorists. Bring us a photo and we’ll sit down and discuss how to go from your current color to the color in the photo. During your consultation we can put together a plan to make it happen! 

Japan’s Pastel Wonderland

From what I’m seeing, in Japan pastel hair shades are all the rage. At Fluff, we can help you achieve this sweet and dreamy look with our expert coloring techniques. Don’t know exactly the look you’re wanting? During your consultation we’re happy to help you choose!

Australia’s Beachy Balayage

Down under in Australia, sun-kissed balayage trends rule. Our expert team at Fluff are masters at creating the perfect balayage, giving you that natural, beachy look. My personal favorite, as my speciality is lived-in luxury hair and color.

Scandinavia’s Ice Blonde

Up North in Scandinavia where I visit every year or two since I have friends and family in Copenhagen, ice blonde dominates. With Fluff’s expertise in blonde hair coloring, we can help you achieve ice blonde and the latest Scandinavian looks. I love sitting and admiring the effortless nature of the hairstyles and trendy fashion as everyone rides by me on their bicycle, sitting outside in a cozy cafe! 

Inspired to try a new hair color trend from around the world? Well, enjoy your travels this summer and let us know what you loved about the styles abroad when you get back… and we’d love to hear about your trip! At Fluff, we’re ready to transform your hair with vibrant Alter Ego Italy colors. Book your appointment today and start your own global hair color adventure!

Summer Hair Care: How to Protect Your Hair from Sun, Salt, and Chlorine

Summer is a time of sunshine, beach trips, and pool parties. But with all that fun comes a bit of a downside for your luscious locks. The sun’s rays, salt water, and pool chlorine can all play havoc with your hair, leaving it dry, damaged, and dull. But don’t fret, Fluff Denver has got your back, or rather, your hair!

Block Out the Sun

Believe it or not, your hair needs SPF protection, maybe even more than your skin does. Continuous exposure to the sun can lead to dryness, breakage, and color fading. Consider wearing a hat or scarf to physically shield your hair from the sun. For added protection, we recommend products like Alter Ego Italy’s Urban Proof line of products, which helps contains pollution protectants and protectants from UV rays that are made specifically for your hair! I’ll mention here that even though I’m fair skinned, I now personally have thrown all of my sunscreen away and I’m embracing sun exposure in its purest form, just in smaller quantities. Vitamin D anyone? I hear it’s good for you… Who knew?

Saltwater Survival

I’ve just returned from a beachside business trip and while I can tell you beach days can be a blast, saltwater can definitely strip moisture from your hair. Before hitting the beach, dampen your hair and apply a good leave-in conditioner. This will create a barrier against the saltwater, helping to preserve your hair’s natural oils. Rinsing your hair immediately after your swim can also help limit the damage… And I’d recommend against going on Twitter today as I witnessed someone getting eaten by a shark near a crowded beach in Egypt I think it was, as filmed from someone on the beach. I may be permanently planning for saltwater survival by staying out of the water! Only partially kidding!

Chlorine Protection

Who doesn’t love a good swim? But prolonged exposure to chlorinated water can be harsh on your hair… unless you’re going for green mermaid hair, but that’s another topic for another post. One quick tip is to rinse your hair before and after a swim to help minimize chlorine absorption. For those who frequent the pool, consider getting a professional in-salon treatment at Fluff Denver, which helps to counteract chlorine damage and keep your hair looking its best.

Embrace the Summer Vibe

Finally, remember to enjoy the summer season! A little bit of hair care preparation and after-care can help you make the most of these sun-soaked months, keeping your hair gorgeous and healthy all summer long. Drop by Fluff Denver and let us help you make this a summer of hair love!

Famous Movie Hairdos: How They Shaped Character Personalities and Trends

Hi Fluff fans! So, I was watching a movie last night with my mom and I caught myself (as usual) noticing the details in the hair on the actors in the film, especially since it happened to be a classic film that we were watching. I quickly became intrigued with the hair that they had created and began noticing how it enhanced the characters and in my opinion, the entire movie.  I’m guessing I’m not alone and we have all been entranced by the mesmerizing hairstyles in our favorite movies. So… Long story longer, I woke up early this morning thinking I should write about most iconic movie hairdos that have not only shaped characters but also our own hair trends!

Princess Leia’s Cinnamon Buns: Star Wars

First off, it’s impossible to ignore Princess Leia’s legendary cinnamon bun hairstyle in Star Wars. While saving the galaxy and being a general badass, she also managed to make a bold fashion statement. This unique hairstyle screams confidence and originality, just like Leia herself. And hey, who knows, maybe it’s also a secret weapon against Stormtroopers?

Uma Thurman’s Sleek Bob: Pulp Fiction

Another iconic hairstyle that stood out to me was Uma Thurman’s super sleek bob in Pulp Fiction. This look is as sharp and edgy as Mia Wallace herself, proving that simplicity can also make a strong impact. It’s no wonder that this hairstyle became a trendsetter in the 90s, inspiring countless women to chop their locks and opt for this chic look. I think I have an awkward photo of me rocking a similar look when I was in beauty school!

Audrey Hepburn’s Updo: Breakfast at Tiffany’s

And of course, we can’t leave out the queen of elegance herself – Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. That classy updo crowned with a tiara is pure sophistication. It’s a look that’s transcended time, making it a classic choice for fancy soirees and, oh you know, breakfasts at Tiffany’s.

Jennifer Aniston’s Layered Shag: Along Came Polly

Remember Jennifer Aniston’s layered shag in Along Came Polly? Yes, the one that had everyone rushing to their hairstylist asking for ‘The Polly’. This textured, face-framing hairstyle had us all swooning. It’s the perfect blend of effortless and stylish, just like Aniston’s character Polly Prince. And the best part? It’s totally wearable for everyday life. No wonder it was such a big hair trend hit back in the day!

Halle Berry’s Pixie Cut: Die Another Day

Next, let’s talk about Halle Berry’s fierce pixie cut in Die Another Day. Berry’s character, Jinx Johnson, isn’t just a super-spy — she’s a fashion icon too! This short, choppy hairstyle made a powerful statement, showing off Berry’s striking features and echoing her character’s strength and independence. This pixie cut is proof that short hair can be just as glamorous and sexy as long locks. Plus, it’s a fab choice for those who like low-maintenance hairdos with high-impact style.

These iconic movie hairdos are not just about looking fab (although they definitely do that!). They tell a story about the characters who wear them and sometimes, they even inspire us to experiment with our own style. Whether it’s going for a bold new color or trying out a new updo, at Fluff Denver Salon, we’re all about helping you express your inner movie star. So, come on in, and let’s create your own iconic look!

The Art and Science of Hair: Fascinating Hair Facts

Ever thought about just how marvelous your mane is? Today I’ve decided to keep it light and fun and have done some research for our Fluff fans so together let’s discover some facts that will give you a newfound appreciation for those strands atop your head!

Hair is a Reflection of Your Health and Lifestyle

Your hair can actually serve as a historical record of your nutrition and lifestyle habits. Lack of nutrients, stress, and exposure to environmental elements – they all leave their mark on your locks. That’s why healthy hair often starts with a healthy lifestyle. And remember, Fluff Denver Salon is here to help you keep those locks luscious! Maybe next time before eating that bag of Doritos watching a football game, you’ll think twice wondering what all of those nasty processed seed oils and GMO garbage might be doing to your hair on a molecular level!

How Fast Does Hair Really Grow?

Ever wondered how fast your hair grows? On average, human hair grows about half an inch per month (that’s how we calculate it as hair stylists!). But with the right care and a healthy diet, some people can boost their hair growth. But don’t get too carried away – hair won’t grow overnight, no matter how many hair masks you use! I do recommend high quality vitamins and eating a clean diet. Personally, I take a food based vitamin that’s intended for pre-natal use and often a hair, skin and nails vitamin and a liquid collagen supplement from a company called Spoiled Child! I think it even tastes really good.

More Hair than You Think

Think you’ve got a lot of hair? Consider this: the average human head has about 100,000 hair follicles. That’s a lot of hair to love, and a lot of hair to take care of. Thankfully, our professional stylists at Fluff are more than up for the challenge!

Record-Breaking Hair

Now, for some fun! Did you know that the Guinness World Record for the longest hair belongs to a woman in China, whose hair measures a whopping 18 feet and 5.54 inches? We can’t promise to help you grow hair that long, but we can promise to keep your tresses looking terrific no matter their length! Can you imagine the split ends?

There’s a world of wonder in every strand of hair. Keep your hair looking its best with Fluff Denver Salon – your trusted partner in all things hair. Stay curious, stay beautiful, and remember: your hair is a masterpiece!

Hair Care in the Mile-High City: How Denver’s Altitude Affects Your Hair

Hey Denverites! Ever noticed your hair behaving a bit…oddly since moving to the Mile-High City? Feels a little dry? Struggling with static? That’s your locks adjusting to life at high altitude. Welcome to the wonderful world of mile-high hair! Let’s talk a little bit about the science of it all, as moving here from Los Angeles was definitely a bit of an adjustment for me and I’d love to share my experiences with my Fluff fans!

The Mile-High Hair Phenomenon

The thin, dry air of Denver can be tough on your hair, plain and simple. The lack of humidity can leave hair parched and prone to static. I’ve also noticed the water is different than LA’s finest (I prefer the water here at this point and I feel my hair even feels a little cleaner after shampoo and conditioner!). If you’re finding your hair to be a challenge in Denver, maybe you just need to get to know your new hair-needs and a consultation at Fluff is always a great place to start!

The Science of High Altitude Hair

At higher altitudes, the air is drier and there’s less pressure, which can leave your hair feeling parched and prone to static electricity. This can lead to hair damage, breakage, and a lackluster appearance.

High Altitude Heroes for Your Hair

The right products here I’ve found can make a huge difference and make your hair more beautiful and managable. I’d like to introduct you to high altitude hair care: the Alter Ego Italy Urban Proof line. These bad boys are like your personal hair bodyguards, protecting against environmental stress and keeping your locks luscious.

Embrace Your Mile-High Hair Journey

Living in Denver means embracing the ups and downs (mostly ups, let’s be honest) of life at high altitude. Your hair is just part of that journey! Treat it with a little extra care and it’ll stay as fabulous as the Denver skyline.

So go conquer that mile-high hair with confidence, whether your at the big Nuggets game tonight or enjoyed your Sunday out hiking. And remember, Fluff Denver Salon is always here to help you navigate the highs and lows of your hair journey.

Hiking Hair: Styles and Care Tips for Colorado’s Outdoor Enthusiasts

Hey there, Rocky Mountain wanderlusters! If you’re anything like us at Fluff, you love combining a good hike with a great hair day. So, we’re serving up some adventurous yet chic hairdos and hair care tips for all you trail-blazing beauties out there.

Stylish, Practical ‘Dos for Denver’s Great Outdoors

Who says “practical” can’t also be “fashionable?” Not us! Here’s a couple of our favorite styles:

The Fluff Fishtail Braid

This style keeps your hair secure while showcasing a cool, intricate design. It’s great for long hikes and can easily transition to a night out in LoDo.

The Boulder Bun

Inspired by our friends to the north, this bun is perfect for those looking to conquer the most challenging trails. It keeps hair out of your face, so you can focus on the climb.

Hair Care Tips for the Trail

Here’s how to keep your locks lovely, even after they’ve been through wind, sun, and high altitude:

• Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Colorado air is dry, and your hair feels it too. Use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner, such as our favorite, Alter Ego Italy’s Silk Oil line.
• Shield from the Sun: UV rays can damage your hair. Protect it with a product that has UV protection, like the Alter Ego Italy Urban Proof line leave-in conditioner… And please do not put sunscreen directly in your hair, it’s not even worth taking the chance in contains ingredients that can devastate the hair and ruin your extensions.
• Tangle No More: Use an oil spray before your hike to prevent knots and make post-hike brushing a breeze. We love the Urban Proof De-Lite Protection Oil from Alter Ego Italy. Keel it in your backpack for all day hair hydration and care. Even with glamorous hair extensions, you can use this oil, but use it on the mid-lengths and ends and not on the scalp.

With these styles and care tips, you’re all set for your next outdoor adventure. Stay fabulous on the trails, Denver!

The Perfect Beach Waves: A DIY Guide from Fluff

As I’m eating my breakfast on the beach here in El Salvador, I’m wondering to myself if there anything more quintessentially summer than tousled, beachy waves? I actually don’t think so! From the beautiful sandy beaches of El Salvador to the bustling streets of Denver, this hairstyle is a hit. Here’s a step-by-step guide from Fluff to help you achieve that effortless, sun-kissed look with the help of our favorite Alter Ego Italy products.

Step 1: Cleanse and Prep

Start with clean, damp hair. We recommend using Urban Proof Rehab Shampoo – it gently cleanses while removing sea salt, chlorine, and sand residue. Plus, it’s packed with powerful antioxidants to protect your hair from environmental pollutants.

Step 2: Nourish and Protect

Next, apply Urban Proof Leave In Conditioner. Not only does this conditioner detangle and nourish your hair, but it also offers UV protection – a must-have for beach goers or those sun-soaked Denver summer days.

Step 3: Create Those Waves

Now, it’s time for the fun part – creating those waves! Spritz your damp hair with Urban Proof Sea Salt Spray from mid-length to the ends. It not only adds texture for those coveted beach waves but also shields your hair from UV rays and urban pollutants.

Step 4: Dry and Style

For natural waves, allow your hair to air dry. Alternatively, you can use a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer (hopefully from T3 Micro or Ga.Ma Italy for best results!) for added volume. Scrunch your hair as it dries to enhance the wavy texture. Remember, the idea is to look effortlessly chic, so don’t worry about perfection!

Step 5: Final Touch

Once your hair is dry, finish off with a few drops of Urban Proof De-Lite Protection Oil to add shine and further protect your hair from UV damage. Et voila! You now have gorgeous, beachy waves that can be worn from the beach to the city streets.

Perfecting beach waves might take a few tries, but with a little practice and the right products, you’ll be rocking this breezy style in no time. Remember, the key to beach waves is the effortless, undone look – so have fun with it! If your hair needs a little extra encoragment, we recommend using a diffuser and the Switch Kit Wave Trio from T3 Micro, available now at Fluff.

The Connection Between Diet and Hair Health: Nourishing Your Locks in Denver and Beyond

Hello, Fluff Family! As we’re savoring the delights of El Salvador on our travels working on our potential international expansion project, we’re reminded that what we eat directly reflects on our hair health. But fear not, all the essential nutrients your hair craves can be found right at home in Denver at your fav farmers markets and grocery stores.

Essential Nutrients for Luscious Locks

Protein, the building block of hair, is vital. Insufficient protein can result in weak or slow-growing hair. In Denver, enjoy a tender bison steak (if you eat meat) or quinoa salad for a protein boost.

Iron promotes hair growth and prevents hair loss. Incorporate spinach salads or lentils into your meals to ensure adequate iron intake.

Calcium, found in cheese, milk, and yogurt, promotes hair growth and is essential for healthy hair.

Colorado’s local farms offer fruits and vegetables packed with Vitamins A, C, and E – all hair-healthy vitamins. Vitamin A aids sebum production to moisturize the scalp, Vitamin C promotes collagen production for hair strength, and Vitamin E maintains your hair’s natural protective layer for a glossy shine.

Omega-3 fatty acids nourish the hair, support thickening, and reduce inflammation that can lead to hair loss. Colorado trout is a great source of Omega-3s!

Biotin, a B-vitamin, is commonly recommended for hair health. A deficiency of Biotin can lead to hair thinning. Enjoy locally sourced eggs, avocados, and nuts to keep your Biotin levels up.

At Fluff’s Denver Salon

Our philosophy at Fluff always emphasizes the holistic approach to hair health. Your hair deserves good nutrition, just like your body. So, when you’re indulging in Denver’s delicious local produce or dining out at your favorite spot, remember: you’re not just satisfying your cravings, you’re also feeding your fabulous mane.

And while we’re mentioning global flavors, if you ever find yourself in El Salvador, don’t forget the avocados! They’re an excellent hair-healthy food, rich in Biotin and Vitamin E.

Until next time, Fluff fam! Keep it shiny, keep it Fluffy and happy Fluffing!

Achieving the Perfect Blowout at Home: Fluff’s Ultimate Guide

Bring the salon experience into your home with our guide to achieving the perfect blowout! Here’s a step-by-step approach to get you that professional look, with a touch of Fluff magic.

Step 1: Prep Your Hair

Begin by washing your hair with a high-quality shampoo and conditioner. To add an extra lift, use a volumizing shampoo. We recommend the Alter Ego Italy line for ultimate hair pampering right in your bathroom.

Step 2: Towel Dry Your Hair, But Gently

Gently towel-dry your hair to about 60-70% dryness before starting the blowout process. We recommend using a microfiber towel to minimize damage and frizz. Squeeze the hair with the towel, do not rub the hair,  Rubbing causes damage to the hair and also frizz.  Squeezing excess moisture is more gentle to the hair and helps keep the hair cuticle smooth.  

Step 3: Apply a Heat Protectant

Shield your hair from potential heat damage by applying a heat protectant. This creates a barrier between your hair and the heat, keeping it healthy and shiny. We stock several excellent options at Fluff’s retail area.

Step 4: Section Your Hair

Sectioning makes the blowout process more manageable. Depending on your hair thickness, divide it into 4-6 sections and use clips to hold them in place.

Step 5: Time to Blow-dry

Blow-dry your hair starting from the roots, moving to the mid-lengths, and finally, the ends. Always keep the dryer’s nozzle downward to help smooth your hair cuticles. Our favorite dryers? Ga.Ma. Italy, available at Fluff, is known for its excellent performance.

Step 6: Round Brush Magic

Use a round brush as you dry each section. Place the round brush under your hair and move it slowly down to the ends, following it with the dryer. This creates that salon-style bounce and volume.

Step 7: Cool It Down

Once you’re done with all sections, switch your dryer to the cool setting and give your hair a quick once-over. This helps to ‘set’ your style, adding shine and reducing frizz.

Step 8: Final Touches  

Finish your blowout with a few drops of hair serum for extra shine and softness. To prolong the life of your blowout, try to avoid touching your hair too much, as the oils from your hands can weigh it down and make it look greasy. Pro tip: Spritz dry shampoo in your clean hair along your part and around hair line.  This sets your dry shampoo up for success absorbing dirt and oil BEFORE it has a chance to settle.  Re-spritz before working out and before going to bed. 

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Skipping heat protectant: Always remember to apply a heat protectant before blow-drying.
• Blow-drying soaking wet hair: Towel-dry your hair to remove excess water before blow-drying. It reduces damage and also saves time.
• Holding the dryer too close to your hair: This can cause overheating and damage your hair. Always maintain a safe distance!
• Not using a nozzle.  A nozzle helps direct the hair flow preventing frizz.  

Practice makes perfect – so get going and enjoy your gorgeous, bouncy hair. Remember, a stunning blowout is a surefire way to turn heads, even if you’re just making a grocery run! Stay gorgeous!

Happy Fluffing!

Dive Into Tropical Hair Care with Fluff: Your Ultimate Guide to Beach-Proofing Your Locks

Getting ready to rock a glamorous hairdo while sipping a tropical cocktail on the beach this summer? I wanted to send some tips your way from the beautiful beaches of El Salvador, where we are considering opening a Fluff Latin American location where #Bitcoinmay end up being your key to unlocking luscious locks at the beach.

As a beauty enthusiast and hair artist from Los Angeles, I’ve always had a thing for beautiful beach hair, so now is my opportunity to share!

Top Tips for Tropical Tress Triumphs

From the humid, tropical locations like where I am today in El Salvador’s paradisiac beaches, hair care may seem like a Herculean task. But fear not, fellow beauty enthusiasts! We’ve got you covered with top tips to tame those tropical tresses.

1. Hydrate!

Quench your hair’s thirst! A high-quality, hydrating shampoo and conditioner can keep your hair moisturized and manageable, preventing it from turning as dry as a coconut husk.

2. Protect Those Locks

Shelter your hair from the tropical sun wearing hats during peak sun hours. Consider them your hair’s personal beach umbrella! I’d still recommend staying away from most sunscreens, as some ingredients will ruin your hair extensions… permanently! Yet another reminder here!

3. Post-Swim Rinse

After frolicking in the ocean or pool, make sure to rinse your hair. Keep those salt and chlorine monsters at bay!

4. Frizz Fighters

Humidity can turn your hair into a puffy cloud. Anti-frizz serums or sprays are your secret weapon to keep your hair as smooth as the beach sand.

5. Regular Maintenance

Got extensions? Keep them looking beach perfect with regular brushing and extension-friendly products.

6. Call in the Pros

When in doubt, call in the cavalry! Our prospective Fluff salon in El Salvador, accepting Bitcoin, will have your back (and your hair)!

With these tips, you’ll be the queen of beach hair, making waves wherever you go. And remember, whether you’re in Denver, St. Tropez, or El Salvador, Fluff is all about making sure your locks are as luscious as the tropical landscape. Stay tuned for more on our exciting new (very prospective) location!

Happy Fluffing! Here is me fresh off the plane wearing an effortless messy bun on the beach!

Extensions for Every Season: Adapting Your Hair Extensions to the Changing Weather

Is there a link between the changing seasons and how you manage your hair extensions? The answer is a resounding yes!

Spring: A Breath of Fresh Air

Spring is the time for rejuvenation. As the temperatures start to rise and humidity increases, you might find your hair extensions experiencing some changes. You may notice them becoming a bit frizzier and less manageable. Don’t worry; we have a solution and you’ll never leave our salon wondering about care! At Fluff we carry several amazing exclusive product lines, including our own Fluff* line! We believe in individualized, customized hair care for extensions. Our extensions artists will work with you and will create a game-plan using high-end Italian performance based products, which are perfect for hair extensions and we are able to customize care for all for seasons. So this spring when you’re experiencing frizzier hair than usual, let us know and we will create a program for your hair health.

Summer: Beat the Heat

Summer is all about sunshine, beaches, and pool parties. However, the heat, combined with salty sea water or chlorinated pool water, can wreak havoc on your hair extensions. So what can you do? We have solutions for you! Let’s set up a consultation and create a customized game-plan for the summer heat to keep your hair looking like a summer dream! And remember folks, NO SUNSCREEN IN YOUR HAIR. Keep an eye out for this ingredient and if it does get in your hair, not even Fluff will be able to save your precious locks! Refer to this post of ours for a reminder.

Fall: Falling in Love with Care

Fall brings cooler temperatures and less humidity, making it a great time for hair extensions. However, with the drop in humidity, your extensions might start to feel a bit dry. Moisture is key during the colder months, so we may make some changes to your customized hair care routine in the fall. Alter Ego Italy makes some really great products to help your hair through the seasons!

Winter: Brrr-eautiful Hair

Winter brings with it harsh winds, freezing temperatures, and dry indoor heat – all of which can lead to dry, brittle extensions. During winter, it’s crucial to keep your hair extensions well moisturized. Winter can bring a lot of hardship to your extensions without the right care, since you’re constantly going from cold outside to warm inside. Our goal is to mitigate dryness while not making your extensions oily… as you probably know by now, oily extensions are extensions that can end up falling out on a hot date onto the seat of your Uber! Should you pick them up or try to hide them? We hear some funny stories at Fluff and as one of Denver’s best salons, we love to help prevent potentially embarrassing situations through customized care that will keep your hair looking amazing through the winter and beyond.

Year-Round Care

Regardless of the season, remember that regular maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your hair extensions. Regular trims, proper washing techniques, and using extension-friendly products can all contribute to healthier, longer-lasting extensions.

At the Hair Extensions Studio by Fluff, we’re committed to helping you maintain beautiful, healthy hair extensions all year round. From our wide range of extension services to our selection of high-quality products, we’ve got everything you need to adapt your extensions to every season.

Your hair is an extension of you, so why not make sure it looks its best, no matter what the weather’s like? Get in touch with us today, and let’s start your journey to stunning, season-proof hair extensions.

Hair Extension Showdown: Sew-In vs. Hidden Beaded Rows!

Hello hair extension enthusiasts and fellow Fluffers! Are you ready to dig into the knotty world of sew-in and hidden beaded hair extensions? Well, let’s dive hair-first into it!

Round 1: Installation Process

The Sew-In Corner:

Your natural hair is braided into cornrows and the extensions are then sewn into these braids. It’s like your hair is getting a tiny, fashionable quilt. Sew-in extensions are sturdy, reliable, and they’ve got your back…or rather, your head!

The Hidden Beaded Row Corner:

In this method, a row of silicone-lined beads is secured to your natural hair, onto which wefts of extensions are sewn in. Kind of like adding extra fabulous branches to your hair tree. It’s less braiding, more beading.

Round 2: Comfort and Health

Sew-In Extensions:

While sew-ins offer a secure install, they can sometimes feel a bit tight on the scalp. However, our experienced stylists ensure they’re installed correctly, prioritizing your comfort and hair health.

Hidden Beaded Rows:

The beaded rows can feel lighter and more flexible on the scalp, providing a comfortable experience. The method ensures minimal contact with the scalp, reducing the chance of hair damage.

Round 3: Maintenance

Both methods require some TLC to keep them looking fresh and to maintain your natural hair health. Regular salon visits, gentle hair handling, and specific hair care products are a must, regardless of your choice. Our Fluff stylists will give you the full rundown!

Final Round: Versatility

Sew-ins and hidden beaded rows both allow for various styling options. Want a high ponytail? No problem! Dreaming about beach waves? Absolutely! The sky is the limit when it comes to hairstyles.

So, there you have it! The face-off between sew-in and hidden beaded hair extensions. Each method has its own merits, and your choice ultimately depends on your individual hair type, lifestyle, and preference.Just remember, at The Hair Extensions Studio by Fluff, our goal is to make you feel fabulous, confident, and self-assured, no matter which extension method you choose. In the end, the best extension is the one that makes you feel like the rockstar you are!

So, ready to transform your hair and rock your look? Give us a call or book an appointment online. Our hair fairies at Fluff are excited to welcome you to our salon family! 💇‍♀️💕🎉

High-End vs. Drugstore Hair Care: The Salon Advantage

The hair care aisle at a drugstore offers an abundance of low-cost shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. While these products may appear tempting due to their price, investing in high-end salon products such as Alter Ego Italy, can significantly elevate the health and appearance of your hair.

The Superiority of High-End Salon Products

High-end salon products, such as Alter Ego Italy, offer a distinct advantage over drugstore products due to their composition. They contain higher-quality, nutrient-rich ingredients and fewer harmful additives. These products are expertly crafted to address specific hair concerns and conditions, providing more concentrated and effective treatment.

The Unique Promise of Alter Ego Italy

Renowned globally by hair professionals, Alter Ego Italy promises exceptional hair care. The creators of these products prioritize advanced research and development, resulting in high-quality products filled with beneficial, hair-loving ingredients. They delicately nourish your hair and scalp, promoting overall hair health and longevity of color treatments.

Commitment to Sustainability and Ingredient Quality

Alter Ego Italy is committed to creating products that are not just good for your hair but also for the environment. The brand focuses on using environmentally friendly packaging and incorporates a high percentage of ingredients of natural origin. Moreover, the brand pays particular attention to sourcing and selecting only the highest-quality ingredients for their products.

Harmful Ingredients in Drugstore Hair Products

Many drugstore hair care products contain ingredients that can be harmful to your hair and scalp. These may include sulfates (like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate) that can strip your hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and frizz. Parabens, which are used as preservatives, can cause scalp irritation and potentially disrupt hormonal function. Additionally, artificial fragrances and dyes present in many drugstore products can cause allergic reactions and dryness. High-end salon products, like Alter Ego Italy, consciously avoid such ingredients to provide your hair with the gentle care it deserves.

The Value in Switching to Salon Products Like Alter Ego Italy

Using high-end salon products like Alter Ego Italy not only optimizes the health of your hair but also helps maintain the longevity of salon services like color treatments. When you invest in professional-grade hair products, you’re not just pampering your hair, you’re protecting your investment in your hair’s color, texture, and overall health.

Ready for Better Hair Care?

If you’re ready to elevate your hair care routine, consider transitioning to high-end salon products like Alter Ego Italy. It’s time to bid farewell to drugstore products that may be causing more harm than good, and welcome the benefits of professional-grade hair care. Fluff Denver Salon is proud to offer Alter Ego Italy products to ensure your hair receives the best possible care.

My Honest Thoughts

Your hair deserves the best. High-end salon products like Alter Ego Italy, provided by Fluff Denver Salon, offer a significant upgrade from your typical drugstore products. They’re crafted with superior, natural ingredients, avoiding many of the harmful additives that can be found in cheaper options. Plus, with the added commitment to sustainability, it’s not just your hair that benefits, but the environment too.

At Fluff Denver Salon, we care about the health of your hair and the world we live in. Come visit us, and experience the Alter Ego Italy difference for yourself!
