Three Cheers for Chelsea!

The votes have been tallied, and the employee of the month for June is Chelsea!

Chelsea's job title is salon coordinator, but she does much more than that. She bridges the gap between Kids Club and The Salon at Kids Club. She is the lovely voice on the telephone when you call to make an appointment for a hair cut. She gives a hand when we are behind in gift wrapping on busy Saturday afternoons, and as the Yelp reviewer points out, she even sometimes steps away from the desk to help a customer find toys:

'I really appreciate how helpful Chelsea the receptionist was because she showed me where I could find the exact toys I wanted for my classroom. I always suggest my parents of the kids I teach to go visit Kids Club because of their selection of kids clothes and cute cuts they give with darling hairdo's afterward.' 

--Sarah M.

Here's what her co-workers had to say:


'Chelsea is always positive and smiling. I have a lot of respect for how well Chelsea does a hard job.'

'Chelsea is a wiz at multi tasking. I could go on and on about how great Chelsea is to work with.'

Fun fact about Chelsea: She's vegan!
Ask her for a recommendation on salon products that are animal ingredient free.

Congratulations &

Thank You Chelsea!

Party Outside With Us!

Summer is just around the corner!

I am so excited to go outside and enjoy the music and style your child's hair this year. Guys, come get a faux hawk with the color of your choice. We have awesome Joico Spikers gel that colors and styles hair, and washes out at bath time! Girls always enjoy getting braids and pigtails, topped off with our Glitterati sparkles. 

Did you know, every time your child gets a hair cut at 

The Salon at Kids Club they get the same special styling? 

It's true!

Rachel's Recommendation for Swimmers Hair

As summer approaches here in the Northwest, two things come to mind, long warm summer days and spending time in the pool. Swimming was always one of my favorite pass times as a kid. I spent most of my summer days in my grandparents pool and, boy did it take a toll on my hair! By September it was tangled and green and I would have to get a bunch cut off to make it healthy again. Now, as a stylist, I have found there are a few easy things we can do to help prevent the chlorine from damaging our children's hair. 

First, get their hair completely wet in the shower. The hair will soak up the clean, unchlorinated water, and will not soak up as much chlorinated pool water.

Second, when they are done swimming it is best to shampoo with a swimmers shampoo before the hair has a chance to dry. Once the chlorine dries in the hair it is much harder to get out. My two favorite brands of swimmer shampoos are: So Cozy and California Baby. The So Cozy smells great, like fresh apple, and many clients have told me the California Baby has helped their child's hair to return to it's original beauty.

Last, but maybe the most important, CONDITION! I know it can be hard to get an extra step done on a child, but swimmers shampoo opens up the outer layer of the hair (the cuticle) and you need to use a good conditioner to smooth it back down. If you don't, you won't be able to get a comb through it! My favorite is the Surfs Up Zero Knots detangler. This conditioner is lightweight but slick. It won't weight th hair down and get the tangles right out. A spray detangler is great for getting tangles out on non-washing days, but is not enough to smooth the cuticle down after a swimmers shampoo. Just a quick wipe of conditioner through the ends and a rinse, can save you a lot of tangles and tears in the end.

I hope with these tips, your little darlings will have beautiful, chlorine free hair all summer long.
