Haven Holistic Salon - Tabitha Osman

Sure, coconut oil can make your hair look shiny and feel soft, but are you truly protecting your hair and seeing long-term benefits? Probably not. Hear me out.

Kitchen coconut oil has a cooking temperature of 350°F, which means applying it to your hair and then using a hot tool is essentially cooking your hair, causing more damage.

Coconut oil in hair products is fractionated, separating beneficial medium-chain fatty acids from thick, greasy long-chain ones. The former penetrates the hair shaft, promoting internal repair, unlike cooking oil which merely coats the hair, clogging pores and creating buildup.

For truly nourishing hair care, I recommend the Ultra Hydrating Signature Hair Mask from . It’s extension-safe and perfect for dry, damaged hair. Use it twice a week until you see the results you want, then maintain with weekly treatments.

Believe it or not, there are actually bad oils for your hair.

I've seen various oils used over the years, and not all are beneficial. While some kitchen-grade oils aren't entirely bad, they aren't always the best either.

Personally, I recommend Goldi Locks Signature Serum and Kevin Murphy Shimmer Shine to all of my clients. Both of these oils will not only make your hair look good, but will also help nourish it from deep within.

Thinking about taking the leap and getting extensions, but wondering just how long they last? Well, let me tell you- it depends!

The better care you take of extensions, the longer they last! If you want your investment to last, you need to make sure you take the best care of your extensions that you can, which means drying your extensions, never sleeping with wet hair, and brushing your extensions softly so as to not yank the out of your hair.

Think you can do that? Take the leap and get your own set of extensions with us- you won’t regret it!

At Haven Holistic Salon, I care for your entire being with every appointment.

I prioritize using clean, low-toxic products and maintaining eco-friendly practices. But my focus goes beyond that—I’m dedicated to your overall well-being.

During your service, I work on nurturing not just your body, but also your:

🧠 Mind

🌈 Spirit

😊 Emotions

Experience holistic care that nurtures your whole self at Haven Holistic Salon.

It’s amazing how time flies. My kiddo is starting his first job, and it's making me reminisce about my early work experiences.

For me, my first job as a teenager was babysitting, which taught me a lot about responsibility. My second job was at McDonald's, where I learned the value of hard work.

It’s crazy how time flies, but I can’t wait for my kiddo to start his work journey.

Did someone say “custom”?

Here at Haven Holistic Salon, we know it’s important to have a custom experience that’s unique to you! That’s why we have our appointment customization form!

From picking the station we listen to, to the drinks you get, we do our best to create a calming, healing space for you that is comfortable and energizing.

To avoid damaging your hair with a blow dryer, follow these tips:

Keep Your Distance: Avoid pressing the nozzle of the blowdryer directly onto your round brush. This keeps the heat at a safe distance, preventing excessive heat exposure and damage.

Minimize Tension: Don’t stretch your hair too much while drying. This reduces fragility and breakage, keeping your hair healthy and strong.

Gentle Handling: Create space between the nozzle and your hair. This helps you dry your hair without causing unnecessary stress and damage.

Take these steps to maintain healthy, beautiful hair every time you blowdry!

While GLP-1 medications can be effective for weight loss, they can have negative effects on other parts of your body. One of the most common side effects is hair loss. This happens because these medications can deplete essential nutrients from your body. Your hair, skin, and nails are often the first to show signs of imbalance.

To support your body while on GLP-1 medications, make sure to:

- Supplement the nutrients you're losing
- Engage in muscle-building activities
- Maintain healthy gut bacteria

Remember, a holistic approach is key to maintaining overall well-being.

Did you know one of the simplest ways to boost your hair health starts with your bedtime routine?

Wet hair is more prone to breakage because its bonds are weaker. When you hit the pillow with damp locks and toss and turn, you're inadvertently stressing those delicate strands.

This advice is especially crucial for our extension-loving clients. Keeping your hair dry before bed helps maintain the integrity of both your natural hair and extensions.

Take charge of your hair's well-being tonight and every night. Embrace dry hair before you sleep—it's a small change with big benefits for your gorgeous mane!

Yes, you can wear your hair up with extensions! Here’s some tips to help:

Proper placement is essential for a seamless look, so we make sure your extensions are correctly positioned to allow versatile styling without showing the wefts.

When putting your hair up, be gentle to avoid tugging on the extensions. Use snag-free hair ties and avoid tight styles that can cause tension.

Choose lightweight styling products like Kevin Murphy’s Anti Gravity Styling Spray to maintain a natural look and prolong the life of your extensions.

With these tips, you can confidently style your hair up any way you like!

Can you get your extensions wet at the pool? Honestly, it’s best not to. But if it happens, here’s how to save your hair:

First, soak your hair and spray in some leave-in conditioner. Saturated hair absorbs less chlorinated water than dry hair.

Braid your hair and secure it with a snag-resistant tie. Resist the urge to let your extensions flow freely in the water.

Wash, deep condition, and brush your hair as soon as you can. Don’t let chlorine sit in your hair, as it can cause irreversible damage.

For the best results, though, clip your hair up and enjoy your summer! Your hair will thank you.

At Haven Holistic Salon, we believe in nurturing your beauty from every angle, even while you sleep. That's why we recommend satin pillowcases to our cherished clients.

Why satin? Because they're not just a luxury; they're a secret to waking up refreshed and radiant. For as little as $12 for two, or opt for a higher-end option for added indulgence, satin pillowcases offer unparalleled benefits. Unlike traditional cotton, satin doesn't tug at your skin or hair, helping to maintain moisture levels for a smoother, more youthful appearance. Who wants to wake up looking 75 when you're only 30?

Investing in satin pillowcases isn't just about pampering yourself—it's about enhancing your skincare routine effortlessly. Your skin will thank you for the gentleness and care these pillowcases provide night after night.

Discover the simple luxury of satin pillowcases and give yourself the gift of better sleep and glowing skin. Visit our salon for more tips on holistic beauty practices or check our website for more recommendations!

Stress isn’t always a villain—it’s all about balance. At Haven Holistic Salon, we celebrate the positive impact of stress, like the energizing buzz after a great workout. However, not all stressors are created equal. Negative self-talk, for example, is a silent saboteur that can weigh heavily on our well-being.

Here’s the scoop: any of these good stressors, like exercise, can tip into the negative zone if overdone. Moderation is key. Too much of a good thing can become a burden, especially for women navigating life’s demands.

How can you tell if you’re truly in tune with your body? Ask yourself:

- Am I giving myself enough rest and recovery?
- Do I notice physical cues like tension or fatigue?
- How do I feel emotionally after certain activities?
- Am I setting realistic expectations for myself?
- Do I practice self-compassion when things get tough?

Listening to your body isn’t just about hearing—it’s about understanding and responding with care. Take moments throughout your day to check in, adjust where needed, and nurture a harmonious balance between stress and serenity.

Opening up about something personal today. ​​​​​​​​​
I value transparency in my journey, both personal and professional, so it’s important for me to share this now. 💖

I will be undergoing a series of medically necessary surgeries starting June 26th, addressing a health condition I've been managing.

I'll be stepping away from the salon from June 26th to July 4th to focus on recovery, but I’ll be keeping in touch and managing from behind the scenes!

The road to recovery may be long, but I'm eager to return stronger and more dedicated than ever. ❤️💪🏼

Thank you for your support and understanding during this time.

Your encouragement means the world to me.

See you soon, refreshed and revitalized! 🙏🏼✨

Rest is so much more than just sleeping…​​​​​​​​​
True rejuvenation is nourishing your mind, body and soul, and there are a lot of different ways to give yourself some rest!

🧘‍♀️ Spiritual Rest: Grounding yourself through meditation, prayer, or simply connecting with nature and practicing gratitude.
❤️ Emotional Rest: Changing your surroundings to uplift your mood. Removing draining people/situations from your life.
🥰 Social Rest: Quality time with the relationships that energize you.
🎨 Creative Rest: Allowing your imagination to flow through activities like drawing, painting, playing an instrument.
🕰️ Mental Rest: Finding pockets of silence to journal, breathe deeply, and simply pause the mental chatter.
📴 Sensory Rest: Reducing blue light/noise overload. Creating clean, dim, cozy spaces for your senses to decompress.
💆‍♀️ Physical Rest: Obviously sleep is key, but so is being still, getting massages, and breathwork to truly recharge.

True rest is checking IN, not checking out. What "reenergizes" you?

As a mom, I totally understand - ​​​​​​​​​summers can be a balancing act. 😂

You want to treat yourself, but the kids are also home from school and need more attention!

I love children and am happy to be aunty Tabby if needed.
But I also want to ensure you have a calm, relaxing environment when you come in for services. ❤️
That's why I have a kids policy for the salon.

If your children are old enough to occupy themselves by watching videos or other activities, they are welcome to join you.
This allows you to have that peaceful "me time" while they stay entertained.

Because let's be honest, summer break or not, you deserve to be pampered and have a haven to unwind.

Haven salon is your place to relax and recharge, even during the busy summer months! 🌞

“Isn’t SPF just for your skin…?”​​​​​​​​​
Think again! ☀️

There’s one myth we REALLY need to be talking about, especially this time of year.

It’s not only the beach or pool days when your hair needs protection! 📢

Sun exposure is an everyday concern—UV rays can alter your hair color and damage its texture, anywhere, anytime. 🌤️💇‍♀️

So no - SPF isn’t just for your skin, it’s a MUST in your hair products! ⚠️

Whether you’re running errands or just taking a walk, SPF-infused hair products shield your strands, preserving the tone and health of your hair.

So, remember to protect your locks as diligently as you do your skin! ✨🙏🏼

These ingredients can REALLY damage your hair! ⚠️​​​​​​​​​Let’s talk about what’s in your hair care arsenal. 🧴

Choosing products wisely means saying no to harsh chemicals that can do more harm than good.

Here are the ones to look out for (save this post to keep this list handy!)👇🏼

🚫 Sulphates
🚫 Parabens
🚫 Isopropyl
🚫 Ethanol
🚫 Propylene Glycol
🚫 Sodium Chloride

These sneaky ingredients can lurk in your favorite bottles, and they are known to cause hair loss, scalp inflammation, hormone disruption, breakage, and can even slow cell growth!

This is an absolute 'no-no' list of ingredients that do NOT belong anywhere near your precious locks!

Opt for clean, kind-to-hair formulas that nourish, protect, and respect your locks. 💖

What is Haven?​​​​​​​​​Yes, it’s a sanctuary, but it’s also so much more. ✨🌿

Emotional clarity and grounding ✨👇🏼​​​​​​​​​
If you’re feeling like life is going just a little too fast, if you’re anxious or have a lot on your mind causing you to worry, I know how you feel. ❤️

Let's explore some tips to keep you rooted and clear-headed 🦋

➡️ Incorporate meditation into your routine: A minute here and there with closed eyes, deep breaths, and a whisper of peace can work wonders. 🧘‍♀️

➡️ Embrace the art of single-tasking: Engage fully with one task at a time, savoring the simplicity, and watch stress dissolve. 📚

➡️ Nature's the ultimate healer: A digital detox amidst the green can rejuvenate your soul. 🌳

➡️ Try color spotting: Think of a color that soothes you and try to spot it around you as the day goes. Whenever you find it, pause for a moment for a deep breath, focus on the color mindfully.

➡️ The '3-3-3' rule: This is your quick fix whenever you need to ground yourself. Look around and name three things you can see, move three body parts, and listen for three sounds. This trifecta can pull you back to the now, anchoring your heart and mind in the calming present.

These practices aren't just actions; they're your daily dose of tranquility, your shield against the bustle.

Try them, embrace them, and watch the transformation within. How do you find your peace? Share your story below. 💬

Feeling nervous about a new stylist?​​​​​​​​​
That’s totally understandable!

I know how attached we can get to our hair. We've all been there there – trusting someone with your hair can be a big decision!

That's why I offer complimentary consultations - absolutely no strings attached!

This gives us a chance to chat about your hair dreams, and I can answer any questions you might have so you’re feeling confident before coming in!

Did you know your diet influences your hair health? 🍓🥦​​​​​​​​​
Your diet isn't just about your weight; it's actually a key player in your hair's health too!

Did you know vitamin and mineral levels directly affect hair strength and growth? Sudden diet changes, especially those that skimp on nutrients, can lead to hair loss.

A balanced diet loaded with variety gives your hair the foundation it needs to thrive. Think colorful plates full of fruits, veggies, and lean proteins—feeding your hair one bite at a time. 🍳

Sunny days are coming! Beach trips, picnics… and oily hair? 🌞🧴 ​​​​​​​​​
Let’s talk about it - why does our hair turn oily so fast?

Sebum, the natural oil that keeps our hair healthy, can be overzealous, causing greasiness. It could be your genes, hormonal changes, stress, even eating habits, that can lead to increased oil production.

Here’s a tip: find your hair wash rhythm, cool off with cold rinses, and pick the right products.

Remember, it’s all about finding that perfect balance for you.
