August always carries that in-between energy—the last bit of summer fun before routines shift again. Whether it’s back-to-school, back-to-reality or just time to feel more like yourself, it’s a natural moment to reset.

At Mark Pardo Salon•Skin in Albuquerque, NM, we’re embracing that shift with a few small hair rituals that make a big difference. Aveda’s new lineup helps your hair bounce back from summer damage and get fall-ready, without an overhaul. These are easy steps that fit seamlessly into your daily ritual, adding intention without adding time.

Start Fresh at the Scalp

If your scalp’s feeling dry or your roots are weighed down from too many beach days, start here. Aveda’s invati advanced™ exfoliating shampoo clears away build-up (think product, salt, sunscreen) without drying out your scalp. It’s made with wintergreen-derived salicylic acid and feels like a refresh you didn’t know you needed.

Bring Back the Bounce

Summer sun, chlorine and heat styling can leave hair dry and frizzy—so fall is the time to bring in hydration. Aveda’s nutriplenish™ deep moisture conditioner is packed with mango butter and organic coconut oil to deeply nourish hair without weighing it down. Your strands will drink it up.

It’s a little daily luxury that makes your hair feel softer, stronger and more manageable.

Finish with a Touch of Shine

Cooler, drier air often means more flyaways and dullness. That’s why we love Miraculous oil high-shine hair concentrate, a lightweight oil that instantly adds gloss without heaviness. This precious oil concentrate is perfect for smoothing down frizz, adding polish and reviving second-day styles with a little glow.

Made with plant-derived ingredients, this finishing touch gives your hair that healthy, reflective look—without greasiness.
