Build better hair with every visit

Our mission is to help you love your hair not just on salon day, but over time—by improving its health, style, color, texture, and manageability with every visit.

Our “love your hair” philosophy has two parts: hair design and hair care. This page focuses on care—how we choose services and products that support your hair’s real condition, not just its finish on salon day.

Our care philosophy is simple: we look at how your hair responds over multiple appointments—its strength, softness, and manageability—and keep only the approaches that reliably make it better to live with, not just nicer to look at once.

Beyond surface care

Modern professional haircare has moved beyond coating the hair’s surface to treating its internal structure. We work with Milbon and Olaplex because their systems are designed to strengthen from within, protect against ongoing stress, and support lasting condition. Davines brings a complementary approach: highly researched, botanically‑forward formulas with a strong focus on softness, shine, and sensorial feel, created by a family‑owned, certified carbon‑neutral company. Together, they give us options—more structural repair when needed, more gentle nourishment when that’s the priority.

Before recommending anything, we look at hair history, texture, and lifestyle, then choose in‑salon treatments and at‑home care that support your hair’s internal health so cut, color, and styling stay beautiful for longer between visits. We pay close attention to how hair responds over time and adjust products when something isn’t the right fit—for us, performance and long‑term hair and scalp health always come before hype or habit.

Scalp care

Our approach to scalp care avoids chasing trends or “miracle” claims, and stands behind scalp and hair‑loss products with credible evidence—especially for thinning and shedding. What we offer is support around proven medical options (like minoxidil and finasteride prescribed by your doctor), and evidence‑backed scalp treatments such as zinc pyrithione and ketoconazole shampoos for significant dandruff and scalp inflammation, along with complementary scalp therapies, gentle cleansers, and density‑friendly styling that fit within that evidence‑minded approach. If a recommended product is not available in the salon, we can recommend options from our online store so you can still follow a consistent, science‑aware routine.

A shared philosophy, individual techniques

At Ae Salon, every stylist and colorist brings their own specialties and preferred techniques to the chair. What unites us is a common foundation for care and retail—Milbon, Davines, and Olaplex for cleansing, conditioning, treatment, and styling—so the underlying philosophy stays consistent, even as the artistry feels personal to you.

For color and specialty chemical services, each stylist chooses the professional lines and methods that best support their craft and clientele, while holding to the same standard: thoughtful formulation, respect for the hair’s integrity, and results that feel wearable and true to each person.

From the salon to home

Care doesn’t end in the salon; the way you cleanse, condition, and protect your hair at home has as much impact on long‑term health as what we do in the chair. We take time to recommend home care that aligns with your in‑salon treatments, so you can maintain strength, shine, and color clarity between visits.
