So for starters: I'm 52 and I've never dyed my hair. I've been very reluctant because I know how harsh hair dyes can be on the hair with all the chemicals they contain. I kept hoping that one day I could find a dye that was organic and vegan and made from the most natural ingredients possible.
In my search for such a dye I came across the Natulique line of products. I was very happy and impressed to read their story and check out their dyes and other hair care products. The ingredients are as healthy and natural as possible and the philosophy of the company aligns with my values of health, sustainability, and environmentalism. Of course I was intrigued and I searched for a salon near me that uses Natulique.
Luckily for me I found Dane Styles salon. There are not that many salons in the USA that use or sell Natulique products so fortunately Dane Styles is in the Puget Sound. The salon is about 1 1/2 hours from my home but I was willing to make the trip for the exciting opportunity to finally dye my hair with a product that's actually good for my hair! I called Dane Styles and spoke with the owner Lone (pronounced Loh-Na). She's originally from Denmark (hence the reason the salon is called Dane Styles). Lone was very friendly and warm and I made an appointment with her to dye my hair.
I arrived and I immediately felt comfy and cozy. The salon has a cute vibe with art on the walls and soothing music playing. I showed Lone a picture of the style I wanted: Blonde bangs with the rest of the hair a reddish brown. Lone worked her magic and mixed up some shades that replicated what I wanted. As she dyed my hair we chatted away. As I mentioned earlier Lone is very friendly and warm. I felt very cozy and at home talking to her. While the dye was setting in I strolled around the salon and Lone gave me a grand tour. She showed me the bins where all of the waste products are tossed. So many things that I thought would go to the landfill can actually be recycled. Lone explained how she works with companies that recycle everything from used foil strips to soiled paper to hair. It all gets recycled! Lone also explained that some of the bottles she uses for products are recycled from plastic recovered from the oceans. That is so cool! I love her commitment to sustainability and using products that are as healthy and organic as possible. There is a Danish phenomenon known as "hygge". It roughly translates to a feeling of coziness and comfort from simple everyday pleasures. Dane Styles certainly embodies this wonderful state of mind and spirituality. I just loved everything I heard and saw at her salon.
Ok, so wrapping this up: The dye had set and my hair was washed using Natulique product (got a nice scalp massage in the process, ahhhhh). After my hair was dried the moment of truth arrived and I saw myself. OMG! She got my hair to dye the shades I wanted. It looked so pretty! Then as a final lovely touch she styled and curled my hair. Dane Styles also sells Natulique products so I bought a bottle of shampoo and conditioner. My hair unfortunately has a tendency to be dry and frizzy but it feels so nice and soft now! I absolutely love Natulique products and I am a loyal lifelong customer now and I will sing Natulique's and Dane Style's praises to anyone who will listen.
If you care about putting the healthiest and most ethical product on your hair you need to research Natulique. After you read up on them I know you will also become a convert. Call Dane Styles and make an appointment and show your hair the love it deserves. Natulique and Dane Styles are awesome!
P.S. I took this pic right after leaving the salon. Absolutely love the color! read more
