Summers in Minnesota are the best for cabin getaways, late-night bonfires, kayaking, and early morning hikes in the warm sunshine. The beauty of our state provides a vacation just a few hours from home, whether you’re heading down to Historic Red Wing for some amazing donuts and camping, or driving along highway 61 up to the North Shore.
This time of year is also the perfect time to think about a few pampering services and hair and skincare products to help you make the most of your hours in the sun.
A fresh pedicure and manicure are always a must during sandal season. Our new, limited-edition Sweet Summer Revival Eminence Manicure & Pedicure package uses high-quality organic products from Eminence to refresh and hydrate your skin before you head out on your summer travels.
When it comes to makeup, less is more during time on the lake, in the pool, or on a boat. Book a Lash Lift & Tint so you can skip the mascara altogether. This service, a favorite of mine, gives your lashes curl and color, so they look amazing in or out of the water.
Too much time in the sun? Book a Renewal Remedy treatment upon your return! This deep conditioning hair treatment is customized to fit your personal hair needs.
When packing up the ingredients for the perfect s’more, don’t forget to also pack a few essentials for your hair and skin! IMAGE’s Daily Prevention SPF products are available at all of our Cole’s Salon locations, and there are tons of options to choose from. You can skip the foundation when you pack their Daily Prevention Tinted SPF 30, or you can maximize your protection while hydrating sensitive skin with IMAGE’s Daily Prevention Advanced Smartblend Mineral Moisturizer SPF 75. The color-correcting formula is soothing and is enriched with antioxidants.
Fight the frizz and humidity with a few of our hair care favorites. Bumble & bumble’s HIO Primer utilizes essential oils to hydrate hair while reducing frizz, great for right after a swim. Or try Oribe’s Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray. It shields hair from frizz on even the hottest days!
Moisturizing after a day in the sunshine is also a must. Pack a bottle of Eminence Organics’ Stone Crop Body Lotion to give your whole body the cool, refreshing hydration it needs. (Bonus: The cooling factor even offers a little relief if you get too much sun!)
Summer is a time to slow down and soak up the warm weather, and no one does it better than us. Let the Cole’s team help you customize your packing list and send you on your way with style!
