How to Transition Your Hair From Summer to Fall Without Losing Shine
A client walking into Haus of Pretty salon in Westport, CT, ready for a seasonal hair refresh. The entrance captures the welcoming, modern feel of the salon — setting the tone for a balayage, blowout, or treatment appointment.
Summer in Connecticut means long days at the beach, poolside afternoons, and plenty of sun — but by the time September arrives, hair often tells a different story. Sun, salt water, and chlorine leave it faded, dry, and frizzy, while fall’s crisp, drier air can make things worse. The good news? With the right treatments and products, you can restore shine and keep your style looking fresh.
At Haus of Pretty, we help clients across Westport and Fairfield County repair summer hair damage and get their balayage and color looking brand new again. Here’s how to make the seasonal transition smooth and beautiful.
Common Summer Hair Damage We See in Westport Clients
Faded Balayage and Blonde
UV rays fade blonde tones quickly, leaving color looking brassy or dull. If your balayage no longer pops the way it did in June, you’re not alone — and a seasonal refresh can bring back brightness and dimension.
Dryness and Breakage
Sun exposure and chlorine strip natural moisture, leading to brittle ends. By September, many clients notice extra breakage or split ends that make styling a challenge.
Tangling and Frizz
Salt water roughens the hair cuticle, creating tangles and frizz that linger well past summer. Combined with the humidity in Fairfield County, this can feel like an endless battle.
In-Salon Treatments to Reset Your Hair for Fall
The best way to hit “reset” on summer hair damage is with a professional treatment. At Haus of Pretty, our stylists recommend:
Glosses to revive blonde, balayage, and dimensional color.
Deep conditioning treatments that restore strength and softness.
Trims or fresh layers to clean up split ends and bring back movement.
With two talented new stylists and our signature Club Membership recently added to our Westport team, it’s easier than ever to book an appointment and get the one-on-one care your hair deserves.
