If Priyanka Chopra’s new bob cut is making you wonder if you should also join the short hair club then you are not alone. Salon owners share that summers are when plenty of customers decide to chop off their hair – while the sun is out, the length is out, they say. Along with short hair, customers also opt for de-tan services and treatments that use ingredients with cooling properties in services like facials, manicure and pedicure.
“Cooling, soothing rituals based on chamomile, allantoin, botanical extracts for post-sun care are in demand. Revitalising treatments like Vita C are also apt for this weather,” says Hemangi, Lakme’s National Creative Director (Skin). “People like to go for facials which have a cooling effect with ingredients like aloe vera, musk melon and mint.
Facials with fruity ingredients are also requested along with de-tan services in manicure, pedicure and facials,” adds Aashmeen Munjaal, Director, Star Salons & Academy.

Simran Singh, a 30-year-old social media manager, says, “I would wash my hair at home but due to the heat, it turns frizzy.
So, in May I asked my stylist if I could drop by twice or thrice for a hair wash and he told me that there were many who were opting for this service.” Zakir Khan from Creme Salon says, “Most of our customers request if we can wash their hair twice or thrice a week. It is hassle-free and their hai.
