The start of a new school year means fresh supplies, new schedules, and a chance to reset your routine. But between early mornings, long days, and packed calendars, beauty and self-care can sometimes take a back seat. At The Salon Professional Academy Maplewood, we believe confidence is key for starting the school year strong—so here are some quick, time-saving hair and skincare tips to keep you looking and feeling your best.

✨ Quick Hair Tips

1. Embrace the Blowout

Don’t underestimate the power of a fresh blowout. A smooth, styled finish can last for days with the right dry shampoo and a little touch-up. Perfect for picture days, presentations, or just boosting your everyday confidence.

2. Braids Save Time

From sleek ponytail braids to quick messy braids, this style keeps hair controlled and stylish. Bonus: braids help prevent damage and tangles throughout the day.

3. Dry Shampoo Is Your Best Friend

No time to wash and style? A quick spray at the roots adds volume and absorbs oil, instantly refreshing your look.

🌿 Skincare Tips

1. Keep It Simple

Stick to a quick routine: gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF. Consistency is more important than a dozen products.

2. Stay Hydrated

A water bottle is just as important as your backpack. Hydration helps keep skin clear, bright, and balanced throughout the day.

3. Refresh with an Express Facial

Stressed skin from late nights or sports practice? An express facial is a great way to reset your glow without taking up too much time.
