What to Book Before You Travel for Healthy Hair

We know that Wisconsin residents travel well in the winter, which means our hair takes quite a toll in the process. Whether it’s to the mountains or to the beach, we want ensure you’re ready for takeoff.

One of the most common questions we hear this time of year is:

“Should I do this before I leave… or when I get back?”

Here’s a clear breakdown to help you book smarter and avoid unnecessary stress.

What’s best to book before travel

Color refreshes & glosses

If your color is close to needing maintenance, book before you leave. Fresh color holds up better through sun exposure, dry air, and styling.

Extension maintenance

Extensions should always be checked and adjusted before long trips. Travel increases friction, and properly placed rows reduce matting and tension.

Structural treatments

Repair and strengthening services help hair withstand environmental stress while you’re away.

What can wait until after travel

Detox and Malibu treatments

These are ideal post-travel to remove:

• Hard water buildup

• Chlorine or mineral residue

• Product accumulation

Deep hydration resets

Perfect for restoring moisture once you’re back in your normal routine.

Optional add-ons that make travel easier

Some add-ons aren’t essential — but they can make travel feel far more polished.

• Mini upstyle: ideal for arrival days or long itineraries

• Makeup touch-up: great before departure or events upon arrival

• Hand massage or paraffin dip: especially helpful if you’ll be flying or sitting for long periods

The goal isn’t more services — it’s less effort while you’re gone.
