Let Your Curls Have Their Summer.

Summer brings a different rhythm: more time outdoors, busy weekends, and days when you’d rather spend less time styling. If curls, frizz, or a smooth finish are on your mind, begin with one question: how do you want to wear your hair most days?

At Taylor Stevens Salon in Geneva Commons, that answer helps us focus the conversation. You may want to bring out your natural texture, simplify your blowout, or explore a smoother look.

Give your curls a clear goal.

Tell us what you like about your curls and what feels difficult. Is it definition, volume, the shape of your cut, or refreshing your hair between washes? Bring photos of your hair on a day you love it and a day you struggle with it. That gives us more to work with than a style photo alone.

Choose a routine you’ll actually use.

Aveda offers styling options for curl definition, frizz control, and smooth finishes. The choice depends on your texture and preferred result. Ask your stylist to demonstrate the amount, placement, and styling steps rather than leaving with a product and a guess.

Make time part of the conversation. If you want a ten-minute routine, say so. A recommendation should fit your real mornings, not just the day of your appointment.

Thinking about straightening?

Start by explaining what “straighter” means to you. Are you looking for a smoother blowout, styling with a flat iron, or asking about a chemical service? These are different conversations. Share your color and chemical-service history before deciding on a treatment, and ask our team what options are appropriate and available.

Ask about protection and upkeep.

For heat styling, ask which thermal protectant suits your routine and how to apply it. If you swim or spend time in the sun, mention that too so your stylist can help you plan your care.

Explore our hair care guide for concerns such as frizz and dryness. Then bring your questions to your next visit—we’ll help connect the advice to your hair.
