AOC Salon at Hilltop

Meet your new styling essential: This is a Blow Dry Primer.⚡️

A leave-in spray that primes hair for a perfect blowout. It serves as a heat protectant spray, an anti-humidity barrier, and a shine-enhancer, reducing styling time. Now available at both locations; perfectly timed to help beat that end of summer humidity!✨

You know we couldn’t miss out on #NationalDogDay plus it’s a fabulous excuse to repost this gem of Candace giving Sam and his BFF Moose from Dogtown some fabulously fresh haircuts!✂️

Happy Dog Day everyone!🐶✨

Goodbye quarantine rooties!👋

The beautiful Danielle has been coming to us since grade school and even after living in different states she makes a point to find her way into our chairs when she’s home!🤎✨

This look was created by #aocartist Jessica using a creative foiling technique and then toning! They are working on blending some hard lines from previous coloring in order to create a lower maintenance look!

“Out of all the hair and scalp concerns, dandruff is probably one of the most common. We spoke with Davines National Master Trainer Sunny Brewer to learn why our Purifying line should be a must-have for anyone currently dealing with dandruff.

1. Who is Purifying made for?

"People with dry or flaky dandruff — Purifying Shampoo and Purifying Gel cleanse the scalp with anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties without leaving a film behind. They're enriched with dandelion phytoceuticals, which have a strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant power."

2. Are they used together?

"They most definitely are meant to be used together for the best and most efficient performance. If used separately, the end results may be delayed, or the dandruff may not be eradicated."

3. How do you use them?

"Shampoo with Purifying Shampoo, massage it into your scalp really well, then rinse. After shampooing, apply Purifying Gel to the scalp, leave it on for about 10 minutes, then rinse well.

This regimen can be followed once a week for about 3 weeks, and then if dandruff persists, once every 2 weeks. It can also be used as a spot treatment if you only experience dandruff in a certain area."

Hair clippings, foil, latex gloves....it all sounds like trash, right?

Not anymore!

AOC Salon shared the new program they’ve joined to make sure none of that goes to waste.

We’re just a little over two weeks into our Green Circle Salons journey and we’re about to send off our first boxes! It’s been wild and eye opening to see how much normally goes straight into our waste bins and off to the land fill. It’s nice to know it will now go on to its next life with a new purpose!

We can also tell our team has been doing a LOT of blonding up for the summer!😉🌻

“Challenge: Masks, gloves, capes, towels and face shields are all part of the new arsenal of single use materials being used daily inside personal service establishments, creating a pile of waste that is not recyclable and has the potential to contaminate the space.

Affordable solution: Green Circle Salons developed the PPE Recovery Initiative to keep this waste separated and safely disposed of while allowing businesses to showcase their environmental leadership. It’s a simple and affordable solution to a growing waste problem, explains Green Circle Salons Founder and CEO Shane Price.

“When we started the Green Circle Salons movement over a decade ago, our mission was to offer North America-wide sustainability solutions for our industry by 2020,” Price says, “Today we can support businesses in every zip and postal code to recover up to 95% of their beauty waste, and just as we reached this milestone a new challenge emerged. With the PPE Recovery Initiative, we can ensure that people are kept safe as they return to work without a single new item entering the landfill.”

We have worked so hard over the years to make sure that AOC Salon is a safe space for everyone who enters and that is no different now.

⁣
Therefore, ALL of our current protocol will remain the same during Phase 3 of the state’s reopening plan; if you are unsure of what will be required it is listed on both our website as well as across all of our social media channels! ⁣
⁣
Masks will be required throughout the entire service. We ask that you please bring a well-fitting mask that does not slide below your nose. We do have masks available if needed.⁣
⁣
Our hours will resume to our normal operating hours beginning on June 30th! ⁣
⁣
Please reach out with any questions or concerns. Thank you all so much again for your love and patience!

Happy Father’s Day to all you rad Dads out there! We hope you spend today showered in the love from your favorite people!✨

An update on what to expect when arriving for your appointment! ⁣

**Please be aware that we are currently NOT taking any walk-in appointments at this time. You must call us to schedule ahead of time! To purchase products please give us a call and our front desk coordinators will prepare your products and bring them to your car!**⁣
————————————⁣
1. After arrival please call us and let us know you are outside. We will call or text you your stylist is ready! Please arrive early unless called and told otherwise! ⁣
2. You MUST be wearing a mask to walk into the door AND for the duration of your appointment.⁣
3. Before entering further you will be temperature checked, answer a short health questionnaire, required to use hand sanitizer, and then will be asked sign a waiver. ⁣
4. Your stylist will then greet you and escort you directly to the shampoo bowl where your hair will be washed prior to services.⁣

Please also remember that none of this is, or was, in anyone’s control and sometimes the unexpected can still happen such as family emergencies, illness, or accidents that will require rescheduling. We will do our ABSOLUTE best to get you in somewhere still, but with the restrictions in place it makes it extremely difficult. We ask that you please be kind and patient with us and our desk coordinators if this does happen. We thank you all for following along and choosing to stick with us through this uncertain process.

94.9 The Point

Welcome Dalbe Markman to the show from AOC Salon In Ghent AOC Salon at Hilltop - when will they reopen, what new preacuations are in place and when can Woo Woo get highlights? We talk about it all in this interview. Thanks for joining us Dalbe!

We thank you all SO much for your continued support during these crazy times and we also thank you for your continued patience as we work our way through thousands of calls for appointments missed! ⁣
⁣
We want to help try to ease your minds by answering some of the FAQ’s we’ve been receiving while you’re waiting to hear from us! ⁣
⁣
❣️We are calling all appointments based on those first missed from March 17th onward. Even if your appointment had been “rescheduled” during our first round of pushbacks we kept all of the original information on the books just in case of this exact situation. Therefore, even if your appointment had been moved multiple times you will still be called based on the first, original, appointment! ⁣
⁣
❣️We are reopening in our own version of phases due to the size of our staff and limited capacity regulations as well as each stylist’s individual situations! Our Phase One soft opening begins on May 26th and those stylist’s appointments are being called as we type this! Our second phase begins on June 9th and we will be diligently continuing to work our way through calling all appointments missed!⁣
⁣
❣️For those of you looking to make new appointments we haven’t forgotten about you and we love you and can’t wait to get our hands into your hair, but as of right now we are not accepting any new appointments until we catch up all of those missed! Please keep an eye on our social media pages as we will update it as SOON as that changes! ⁣
⁣
❣️Once you have received your call and a new appointment date and time please head over to our last post or our website and read all new requirements involved in entering the salon. **These will be 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐝 in order to maintain high safety standards for not only our staff, but all of you!**⁣
⁣
We thank you all again for your love, loyalty, and patience! We are so looking forward to taking care of all of you!🤍✨
