Care Week was created as an experimental form of mutual community caregiving within our extended Salon community.
We're teaming up with holistic healers, pilates instructors, physical therapists, coaches, and others to offer resources and access to practices that can help support and sustain hairdressers body needs from the inside out and at every stage of their career.
Read up on each of the practitioners below and click on their individual pages to book an appointment with them.
PRICING:
Each practitioner is offering their services on a sliding scale or has set aside a few spots that will be free and prioritized for hairstylists whose own hair services are at a lower price point than the Care service cost. We aimed to price these services around the same price as an average NYC haircut or color, thus making the cost a direct service trade monetarily.
By booking a service at full price, you help fund a service for hairstylists who will benefit from our accessible pricing model. Our pro bono and sliding scale spots prioritize BIPOC hairstylists in our neighborhood of Los Sures. If this describes you, then you are highly encouraged to book an appointment and inquire about pricing accessibility. We thank you for practicing and experimenting with for Salon’s first ever Care Week.
Holistic Healing Facial Treatment by Jessa Blades
May 18: 10am - 6pm
Price: Sliding Scale $45, $100, $150
This is a combo massage/facial/nervous system reset and includes oil and massage on the face, head, neck, shoulders, hands and feet.
This treatment is an up-leveled facial that combines the ancient science and energy work of Ayurveda with a skin-refreshing facial reflexology. It is perfect for calming a stressed-out mind/body, deeply nourishing the skin, and getting your nervous system into a healing and calm state where the stress can begin to melt away and allow in the healing that you deserve. All of the oils, masks and facial sprays are chosen and customized for each client and consist of the best natural and plant-based ingredients. I focus on the most overworked & in-need of love parts of the body- the face, head, neck, shoulders, hands and feet.
This treatment is especially good for anyone who is:
Living through a pandemic, stressed, trying to heal their skin or look more vibrant, a new parent, in need of a treat, a working from home superstar, exhausted from parenting/work/traveling/life/the patriarchy/systemic racism.

Human Design Reading with Xenia
Date: May 26, 10am - 3:30pm
Price: $99 - $188
Through studying our Human Design chart, we can learn how to best align with our energetic design to create more flow, ease and joy in our life. Through cultivating self acceptance and clarity around our gifts and our true nature, we invite ourselves to fully shine as who we are and decondition from the programming that holds us back from being our true selves. I am a student of Jenna Zoe with a focus on self love + self trust.
Sessions typically begin with a channeled guided meditation and intention setting for you and the life you want to create. We then go into an intuitive reading of your human design chart which you are welcome to record. Upon signing up you will be asked for your birth details including the exact time of your birth.
