Many souls embark on the daily ritual of shampooing and conditioning their hair, adhering to the age-old chant of "rinse and repeat." They think they’re conjuring up the perfect haircare spell, yet their tresses never gleam with the same bewitching brilliance as they do straight from the salon’s magic. It’s only when they sit down with Shaina Meck at Little Shop of Hairdos that they realize they've been casting their haircare spells all wrong. How eerie!
Shaina Meck, a true hair alchemist, is dedicated to the arcane art of hair health. She guides clients through the labyrinth of proper haircare, revealing how the right techniques can:
Banish dullness and restore luster
Keep color and highlights radiant and enchanting longer
Maximize the spellbinding effects of your haircare investments
Her clients are spellbound by the transformation! Uncover the secrets to impeccable hair health and care with us.
Shaina begins by unraveling the mysteries of shampooing—a daily ritual many perform, perhaps with the notion that piling on shampoo and creating a frothy bubble crown, then rinsing with scorching water, is the way to go.
But beware! The truth is far more enchanting...
Shaina says, “When shampooing, start with very wet hair. Put a small amount of shampoo in your palms and emulsify”.
That’s right, you heard it correctly—in your palms! Before you summon the shampoo, you’ll want to work your magic by emulsifying it between your hands. This spellbinding step ensures an even, enchanting application, making sure your hair gets the full benefits of your potion!
“Apply this shampoo and water emulsion to the scalp area only, and massage.”
When it comes to your hair’s spellbinding cleansing ritual, focus on the scalp—just the scalp! Channel your inner enchantress and give your scalp a magical massage. This mystical move not only boosts circulation but also ensures your hair strands remain free from excess suds and product buildup. Keep the rest of your hair out of the cauldron—err, water—and let your scalp revel in its moment of glory!
Shaina continues,”Your hair does not need to be all sudsy”.
Forget about that frothy bubble crown you once adored. Instead, embrace the magic of a less-is-more approach. Let go of the idea of a towering bubble throne and focus on the enchanting essence of your scalp’s own cleansing spell. Remember, less bubbles mean more healthy, happy hair!
“After massaging the scalp, lightly pull the shampoo to the ends of your hair. It’s just like washing your face. You don’t need to later up and scrub hard.”
When the shadows of product build-up loom over your luscious locks, Shaina's spell is to leave the shampoo in for a few extra minutes before rinsing. Let it work its magic! And when it’s time to rinse, don’t rush—ensure every last bit of the potion is washed away and squeeze out any lingering water before invoking the conditioning ritual.
Now, conditioning might be where your hair care spells have gone awry. Too many dabblers slather conditioner in globs all over their heads, letting it sit like a potion gone wrong until the very end of the shower. No wonder your hair ends up flatter than a pancake under a spell’s curse! Time to rethink your approach and let your hair shine with enchanted vitality!
Shaina will set you straight, “Conditioner goes on mid shaft and ends only. Do NOT put it on the scalp. This will weigh your hair down and make it oily faster. The hair that is closest to the scalp is new hair. New hair does not need reconstruction as our other hair does”.
Think you've mastered the spell? New hair, no glob—you're on the right track!
Shaina’s wisdom extends beyond just the basics of shampooing and conditioning; she’s got a whole arsenal of hair care secrets to share! For those conjuring up the perfect hair potion, she swears by a wide tooth comb or a wet brush (those paddle brushes with the wide bristles) to work conditioner through your tresses. Give your locks a quick rinse, but don't be too hasty—leave just a hint of that slippery, enchanted feel. Over-rinsing? That’s like casting a spell that makes your hard-earned product vanish into thin air, and we’re not here to waste magic—or money!
But wait, there’s more to Shaina’s spellbook! She’s not only a guru in the art of shampoo and condition; she’s also a master at tailoring routines to match the unique texture of your hair. Understanding the differences between fine, coarse, and medium textures is crucial for hair sorcery.
For fine hair—fragile and delicate—moisture can be a double-edged sword, leaving it limp and lifeless. Forget that pancake flat look! Instead of traditional conditioner, opt for a leave-in conditioning spray. For a volumizing boost, look for products with a protein or reconstructive base.
Take, for example, a client of Shaina’s who had battled years of over-coloring and mistreatment. With Shaina’s magical touch and expert guidance, her fine, damaged hair began to transform, reclaiming its vitality and strength.

“We worked on caring for her fine hair and used products that are best suited for fine hair. I gave my client a schedule of appointments to stick to for trims. Just one year later, all of the damage is gone and her hair is super thick and healthy. The hair is more manageable and has a new life,” Shaina reports.
When it comes to fine hair, beware the lurking dangers of neglect! Fine hair is especially vulnerable to damage if not trimmed frequently. For those with fine strands, it’s crucial to schedule a trim every eight weeks or so, lest those delicate wisps split and fray like an old, forgotten cobweb.
Styling fine hair? Handle with care! Rough treatment can be a spell gone wrong. Instead, opt for delicate powders and volumizing potions to give your hair the boost it needs. Powder volumizers can puff up your hair, while some magical formulas allow you to run your fingers through your locks all day to re-energize that volume. To really expand those tresses, use hair expanding products with the heat of a hairdryer—heat causes the hair to swell and hold its new shape. Finish off your look with a firm-hold aerosol hairspray to lock in that volume and keep those strands in place.
Moving on to medium and coarse hair, these strands are thicker and more robust, making them less prone to the fragility of fine hair. Shaina will delve into your hair’s history, asking about potential sources of damage like swimming, flat irons, or hair color treatments. Based on this evaluation, she’ll tailor her recommendations to your specific hair type—whether it needs fine hair care strategies or a sturdier approach.
And let’s not forget the enchanting realm of curly hair. Curly locks crave moisture, so resist the urge to wash them daily. Instead, apply your chosen elixirs to wet hair by scrunching them in from ends to roots. Air drying or using a diffuser is the way to go. Steer clear of combs and brushes, as they can turn your curls into a frizzy mess. Brushing or raking fingers through curls disrupts their natural pattern, leading to a frizz-fest.

Shaina notes, “It all comes down to what people do every day with their hair. When I tell people how to correctly care for their hair, it makes all the difference. When they start to see results from the regime I’ve given them, the results speak for themselves.”
As the final eerie notes of Shaina’s consultation echo through the salon, clients leave with a spark of excitement and a twinkle of disbelief. They can hardly wait to get home and unleash the new hair care regimen Shaina has conjured just for them.
