Top 5 Hair Mistakes Park Slope Locals Make (And How We Fix Them)
Expert Hair Care Tips from Venelle Salon and Spa
Living in Park Slope means you’re always on the go — but your hair deserves some extra love and attention. Over the years, our stylists at Venelle Salon and Spa have noticed common hair care mistakes many locals make. The good news? Each one has an easy fix!
Here are the top 5 hair mistakes and how we help you turn them around for healthier, more beautiful hair.
1. Overwashing and Stripping Natural Oils
The Mistake:
Washing hair every day or using harsh shampoos can strip away natural oils, leaving hair dry, brittle, and prone to breakage.
How We Fix It:
We recommend sulfate-free shampoos and washing hair 2-3 times a week to maintain moisture balance. Our stylists can also suggest customized at-home care routines perfect for your hair type.
2. Skipping Regular Trims
The Mistake:
Putting off trims leads to split ends and dullness, making hair harder to style and less healthy overall.
How We Fix It:
Regular trims every 6-8 weeks keep hair looking fresh and prevent damage from traveling up the hair shaft. At Venelle, our stylists shape your cut to grow out beautifully between visits.
3. Using the Wrong Heat Settings
The Mistake:
Blow drying or flat ironing hair on too-high heat causes damage, frizz, and color fading.
How We Fix It:
Our stylists teach clients to use heat tools at the right temperature for their hair texture and always recommend heat protectant sprays to shield strands before styling.
4. Neglecting Scalp Health
The Mistake:
Ignoring scalp care can lead to buildup, irritation, and slow hair growth.
How We Fix It:
We offer scalp treatments and recommend gentle exfoliation and moisturizing products to keep the scalp balanced and healthy—because great hair starts at the root!
5. DIY Color Without Professional Guidance
The Mistake:
At-home coloring or over-processing without expert advice can result in uneven tones, damage, or unexpected color results.
How We Fix It:
Our professional colorists customize shades to your skin tone and hair condition, plus teach you how to maintain your color between appointments with the right products and treatments.
