Why Metal Detox Is the Service Your Hair Didn’t Know It Needed

Clients often sit in my chair and ask the same thing: “Why does my hair color fade so fast?” or “Why does it feel dry right after coloring?” For years I thought it was just the Florida sun and humidity. But after working on hundreds of heads of hair here in Bay Harbor Islands, I’ve seen the real culprit. It’s the hidden minerals in our water. That’s where Metal Detox has completely changed the way I do color services at LAHH Salon.

What Metal Detox Actually Does

Think of Metal Detox as a reset button for your hair. Every time you wash, copper and other metals from the water build up inside the hair. You can’t see them, but you definitely feel them. Color looks dull, blondes turn brassy, and hair feels more fragile. Metal Detox is a professional treatment we use before and after coloring that neutralizes those metals. The result is stronger hair and color that lasts longer.

At our Bay Harbor Islands salon, right near the library and downtown shops, we’ve watched clients who used to lose their color within weeks finally enjoy shades that stay vibrant much longer.

Who Gets the Biggest Benefit?

Honestly, just about everyone. But the results are most dramatic for:

• Blondes who are constantly fighting brassiness or breakage.
• Anyone with bold color like reds or deep brunettes who want the richness to stick around.
• Clients with highlights or balayage who want to keep that brightness fresh.

I had a client who used to avoid coloring before vacations because pool water always wrecked her highlights. After a Metal Detox treatment, she came back from her trip shocked that her blonde still looked salon-new.

Common Myths I Hear About Metal Detox

“Isn’t it just a fancy clarifying shampoo?”

No. Clarifying shampoos only clean the surface. They don’t remove the metals inside the hair fiber. Metal Detox works deeper, where the damage actually starts.

“I only need it once, right?”

I wish that was true. But metals come back with every wash. That’s why we recommend the at-home Metal Detox shampoo and mask to keep the results going between visits. It helps your color last and your hair feel healthier week after week.

What I Notice as a Stylist

I don’t hype products or treatments unless they really make a difference. Here’s what I’ve seen every time I use Metal Detox in the salon:

1. Colors process more predictably. That means less surprise for me and more consistent results for you.
2. Hair feels stronger and smoother after coloring, even with big changes. Most clients run their hands through it and can’t stop smiling.

That’s why I recommend it. It makes my job easier and leaves clients happier, which is exactly what I want when you sit in my chair.

How It Helps Beyond Color

Metal Detox is usually talked about for coloring, but it also helps with styling. If you book a Styling & Blow Dry for a big event, the treatment can help your blowout look shinier and last longer. Pair it with makeup services at LAHH and your whole look feels more polished.

Why It’s a Must in Florida

Florida water is tough on hair. Between chlorine, copper pipes, and the coastal climate, our clients deal with more build-up than most places. That’s why Metal Detox makes such a big difference here in Bay Harbor Islands. It’s designed to target the exact problems that come with living in our area.
