May at Headspace: Better Color, Better Hair Days, and More Reasons to Hang

Hair is personal, but the way it fits into your life matters just as much as how it looks when you leave the chair.
The right gloss can make your color feel rich again without a full transformation. The right product can help your hair feel stronger between appointments. The right consultation can make extensions feel less overwhelming and more like a plan that actually makes sense for you. And the right salon experience should feel like more than something you had to squeeze into your week.
At Headspace, we care about the details that make your hair easier to wear, easier to love, and easier to maintain once you’re back in real life.
This month is all about those details. Our stylist of the month, the product she swears by, the low-commitment color refresh we’re obsessed with, the little extras that make your appointment feel good from start to finish, and the extension conversations that help us build your best hair before we ever start the install.
If your hair has been feeling dull, harder to style, ready for something new, or simply in need of a little more attention, start here.
Meet Our Hottie of the Month: Maddy❤️🔥
This month, we’re showing some love to @maddyroehair, our May Hottie of the Month, and truly, she brings such a good energy to the Headspace team!
Maddy was born and raised in Seattle, but after 4.5 years in Austin, she is fully settled into the sunshine, the food, the music, and the slower little rituals that make life here feel like home.
Before she found her way behind the chair, Maddy spent 7 years in software sales. Then last January, she made a big career pivot, started cosmetology school, and has not looked back since. That kind of change takes a lot of trust in yourself, and it makes so much sense once you get to know her. Maddy is thoughtful, creative, and really good at paying attention to the details that matter.
Outside of the salon, she’s all about the little things. Slow mornings at home with her boyfriend and her two black pugs. Cooking something good. Reading. Gardening. Working on a needlepoint project. She loves a beach trip whenever she can get one, and when she’s out in Austin, it’s probably for dinner with friends or a concert.
Behind the chair, that same energy carries into her work. Maddy is focused on hair that actually fits your life. Healthy, wearable, and built to last beyond the appointment. She understands that your hair needs to make sense for your routine, your maintenance level, your styling habits, and the way you actually want to feel day to day.
She understands the process, the upkeep, and how to keep your hair feeling good long after you leave the salon. Whether you’re working toward healthier blonde, a softer grow-out, a wearable refresh, or a routine that finally feels realistic, Maddy is the stylist who will help you get there with care.
Currently on repeat: Anything from Noah Kahan’s new album, but “End of August” has been on repeat.
Drink order: Blue lagoon fuel, sugar free, with a sour shot from Black Rock, thanks to @_katiedoeshair for the addiction.
Favorite product: @k18hair Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask
The Product Pick We’re All About: K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask ✨
Maddy’s product pick this month is @k18hair Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask, and this one makes perfect sense coming from someone who is so focused on healthy, wearable hair.
In her words:
“As a girl who has been blonde for 16 years of her life, I haven’t seen anything work to keep my hair healthier until using this… anyone who puts bleach on their head should be using this.”
And honestly, that is the kind of product review we trust.
K18 has become one of those products that people hear about for a reason. It is not just another mask that makes your hair feel soft for a day and then disappears from your routine. It is a leave-in treatment designed to help repair hair from the inside, especially when the hair has been through color, lightening, heat, chemical services, styling, or just general life.
You shampoo your hair, skip conditioner when using it, towel-dry until damp, apply the mask, let it sit for four minutes, and then style as usual. No rinsing. No long wait. No turning your wash day into an entire event.
A few reasons we love it:
Helps strengthen hair that has been lightened, colored, or heat-styled
Supports healthier-feeling hair over time
Great for blondes, color clients, and anyone trying to protect their hair
Lightweight leave-in formula
Works well in real routines because it does not require extra shower time
Helps hair feel softer, stronger, and more manageable
This is especially good for anyone who has ever said, “I want to go lighter, but I’m scared of damage,” or “My hair just does not feel like it used to.” K18 is not a replacement for a good stylist, a thoughtful color plan, or regular maintenance, but it is one of the at-home steps that can help support everything we are doing in the salon.
You can shop @k18hair Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask in-salon at Headspace Salon & Co-Op all May for 15% off!
The Low-Commitment Secret to High-End Hair: The Gloss
Let’s talk about the gloss.
Not just for shine, although the shine is usually what gets everyone’s attention first.
A gloss is one of those services that feels small, but changes the entire finish of your hair. It does not have to be a full color appointment. It does not have to mean a big transformation. It is more about bringing your color back into focus.
Depending on what your hair needs, we can keep it simple or customize it completely:
Clear gloss
For shine, softness, and that glassy finish without shifting your color. Perfect when you like your tone but want your hair to look fresher, smoother, and more polished.
Custom-toned gloss
For adjusting what is already there. We can deepen, neutralize, warm up, cool down, or enrich your color so it feels more balanced and alive again.
Maybe your brunette feels faded.
Maybe your blonde needs a tone refresh.
Maybe your color feels a little washed out from sun, heat styling, hard water, or just time.
That is where gloss comes in.
A few reasons we love it:
✨ Low-commitment color refresh
✨ Adds shine without a major change
✨ Makes brunette hair feel richer and more dimensional
✨ Helps tone feel softer and more balanced
✨ Great between bigger color appointments
✨ Can be booked as an add-on or a stand-alone refresh
The best part is that a gloss does not ask you to reinvent your hair. It just makes what you already have look better.
If your color feels dull, faded, brassy, or just not quite there anymore, book a gloss as an add-on to your next appointment or come in just for a refresh.

The Headspace Experience Is About More Than Just Hair
Of course, we care about the hair.
The color. The cut. The extensions. The finish. The way it grows out, wears in, and fits into your actual routine. That will always matter.
But your time at Headspace is about more than the final result. It should feel like something you get to enjoy, not just another appointment squeezed into your week.
That is why we care about the details.
The hot or cold eye patches at the shampoo bowl.
The snacks and drinks waiting for you.
The little comforts that make the whole appointment feel easier.
The kind of space where you can relax, reset, talk, or just be for a minute.
Because yes, great hair is guaranteed. But the experience is what you will be thinking about later. The way you leave with hair that feels right and an appointment that gave you something back.
That is what we want Headspace to feel like.
Come in with the work emails, the errands, the social plans, the full calendar, the “I barely had time to get here” energy. We’ll take it from there.
