Fall Forward

If you’ve ever endured a South Floridian summer, then you know that cooling off is hot come November. As we begin swapping out denim shorts, sandals and the like, we are often keen to swap out the sunny, sweaty top-knot, as well. Changing it up is an innate desire but after you’ve blacked out on […]

Word is Bond Street 

Halloween is right around the corner. With it, comes fall “brondes”, warm tones, and all the rich, vampy colors we love as things begin to cool down. There is no rule that one must transition their summer locks into something fatally fall. Yet, as many of us do, now seems like an opportune time to […]

PRETTY SCIENCE

I would like to dedicate this blog to modern bond-building technology and the biomimetic science behind it. Over a decade ago, when I was in cosmetology school, had we gotten particularly frivolous with our abuse of lightener and hot tools, options for resolve were limited. In wake of disaster, we could opt for a Samsonesque […]

END OF SUMMER

A Sunday at the proverbial end of summer in Southern Florida sounds like another thunderstorm rolling in, the air conditioner working endless overtime and ice cubes clinking in glassware. Be cool. “It’s never too late to be who you wanna be, to say what you wanna say”, sings Lana Del Rey. “Hip-hop in the summer. […]

Summer is here!

Now that the Fourth of July has come and gone and the first tropical storm is being tracked, it is officially summer! In Florida, it is generally advised to prep and have supplies on hand for hurricane season. Canned food, water, batteries, etc. A hurricane kit, if you will. As cosmetologists, we advise some summer […]

MASK REFLECTION

Before working under the mask mandate, I had never realized exactly how much I relied on reading people’s lips when communicating. Sure, blow dryers, salon gossip and my personal tinnitus were partially to blame for this. However, in lieu of mass (or, mask, if you will) reflection, I can identify the real problem. I was […]

LIKE A MOTHER

The days of mothers running themselves ragged and tearing themselves absolutely too thin in lieu of the needs of others are over. At least, they should be. After a pandemic ally grueling year, we’d like to propose those who haven’t adopted the “you can’t pour from an empty glass” attitude, do so immediately. Self-care really […]

NEW BLEU

Few things get a hairstylist as excited as a new line of products to play with and that’s exactly what we’ve been doing the past few weeks. Bond Street is proudly the first and only salon in Delray Beach carrying the newly launched elite line of products by R + Co, Bleu. Named after tranquil […]

Masked Beauty: The New Normal

Raise your hand if your beauty routine has been personally victimized by COVID-19. You are not alone. A year ago we were restructuring our routines to embrace self-care quarantined in our homes. Now, those of us integrated back into public have the pleasure of trouble shooting things like the now infamous mask acne, or MASKNE. […]

Rediscovering Your Self-Esteem

How long is too long to claim you’re still getting used to new circumstances? Well, I don’t know about you but I was blessed with the luxurious superpower of immense procrastination: truly a wizard of putting things off. As a rule of thumb, I generally assume that if I have to ask if I’ve been […]
