North American Hairstyling Awards, one of the most prestigious celebrations.

Every year, we anticipate the Spring season – not entirely because of the weather but because that’s when the NAHA’s announce their finalists!

In 2017, with an astounding 25,630 votes, we made it into the finals and competed against many talented artists in the Peoples Choice Awards category. On the night of the award ceremony, there was a live voting session for the final winner – the one who takes it all.

It was with great pleasure and complete surprise that Blushes took the winning spot!

We truly appreciate everybody who took the time out of their day to vote for us and helped us achieve our dream of winning a NAHA award.

Smartbond | L'Oreal Expert Professionnel | Anit-Breakage Conditioner

Ask your hairdresser about smart bond today.

With Spring approaching, it’s time for a fresh updated look!

As cap highlights are slowly making a return, colouring your hair or having any chemical services can be harsh on your hair. Luckily, Blushes is carrying a product that will help keep your hair in better shape! We’re introducing Smartbond by L’Oreal.

Bond strengthening system for colour and lighteners

Smartbond is a unique system that protects and strengthens the hair during any chemical service.

The system consists of three components. The first two (2) steps are done at the salon by your hairdresser, and the third (3rd) step is done at home.

Our hairstylists Silas, Dorothy and Krystal using a cap for highlights.

How to find out if Smartbond is right for you?

If your hair type falls under any of these categories: damaged hair, sensitized hair, dull hair, coloured, highlighted, bleached – don’t be shy to bring it up with your hairdresser!

What are the results?

Once you use Smartbond, you can see results such as your hair feeling reinforced, more resistant, softer and shiny!


Introducing: Serioxyl

The new Serioxyl line by L’Oréal is designed to achieve denser looking hair at home.

This line includes the Serioxyl Shampoo (available for Natural or Coloured Hair), Serioxyl Conditioner, Serioxyl Denser Hair, and Serioxyl Thicker.

By combining the super serums Denser Hair and Thicker Hair with this adapted hair care routine, your hair will achieve an ultra density effect.

The Denser Hair serum is enriched with Stemoxydine and Neohesperidin.

Use daily for 3 months (along with your Serioxyl Shampoo & Conditioner) and apply up to 8 pipettes depending on the thickness of your hair. Work the product into the roots and ensure that it covers the scalp.

The Thicker Hair serum instantly thickens the look of the hair and leaves it feeling fuller and denser.

Apply onto towel-dried hair and massage through lengths and ends then dry and style as usual. Combine this serum with any of the Serioxyl hair care products to achieve the best results.
