The Wexford Glossing and Shine Revival Guide | Craft Collective Salon Group

Healthy, reflective hair never goes out of style. At Craft Collective Salon Group in Wexford, our stylists specialize in glossing and shine treatments that instantly revive dull, faded, or dry hair — without altering your color.

This guide breaks down what glossing is, why it works, and how our sustainable approach keeps your hair (and the planet) glowing all year long.

1. What Is a Hair Gloss?

A gloss is a demi-permanent treatment that seals the cuticle, enhances tone, and adds a luminous finish. It’s the secret behind that “glass hair” effect — soft, shiny, and healthy-looking.

Our Wexford stylists customize gloss formulas for your needs, whether you want to:

• Refresh faded color

• Neutralize unwanted tones

• Add softness and manageability

• Boost shine between salon visits

  
  

For full details on tone balancing, see The North Hills Color Correction Guide.

2. The Power of Professional Formulas

We use two of the industry’s most advanced glossing systems:

• Wella Shinefinity – A zero-lift, zero-damage gloss that adds translucent brilliance.

• Aveda Gloss Treatments – Plant-powered color refreshers that hydrate and condition naturally.

  
  

Both are paired with R+Co Bleu Optical Illusion Oil for light reflection and frizz reduction.

3. Why Wexford Clients Love Glossing

Wexford clients love glossing because it:

• Works for every color — brunette, blonde, or redhead

• Takes under 45 minutes

• Adds instant radiance

• Requires no harsh chemicals

• Extends the life of color between appointments

  
  

It’s one of the easiest ways to refresh your look before an event, season change, or professional milestone.

4. Shine Without Weight

Unlike heavy serums or oils, professional glossing penetrates lightly without residue. This makes it ideal for fine or medium hair that loses volume easily.

At Craft Collective, we use vegan, silicone-free formulas that deliver true, light-based reflection — not artificial shine.Learn more in The Secret to Long-Lasting Shine (Without Heavy Oils).

5. The Seasonal Shine Strategy

Pittsburgh’s climate can affect how your hair reflects light. In fall and winter, indoor heating dulls the cuticle; in summer, UV exposure fades tone.

That’s why our stylists recommend a glossing refresh every 6–8 weeks — timed with your haircut or trim.For more seasonal adjustments, visit How to Transition Your Hair from Summer to Fall in McCandless.

6. Sustainable Luxury in Every Service

Every glossing service in our Wexford salon is designed for low waste and maximum benefit.

• Refillable color systems

• Biodegradable towels and gloves

• Energy-efficient tools

• Cruelty-free, vegan products

  
  

We believe shine should never come at the planet’s expense. Learn about our full eco-policy on the Sustainable Beauty Philosophy page.

7. At-Home Maintenance

You can keep your hair glossy between appointments by using gentle, color-safe products:

• R+Co Gemstone Shampoo & Conditioner

• Aveda Nutriplenish Leave-In Conditioner

• R+Co Bleu De Luxe Reparative Oil

  
  

These lightweight products support your glossing results for weeks.
