MY DAY AT THE THE RITTENHOUSE SPA AND CLUB Part II


Happy Wednesday Everyone! Today we'll be posting part two of Shannon's Trip to the Rittenhouse House Spa and Club. This time, we're talking about hair with a Summer Hair Styling Session. If you missed Part One, you can read it here. Enjoy!



My next appointment was a Summer Hair Styling session at the Hair by Paul Labrecque Salon at The Rittenhouse.  Again, I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience.  The staff was so personable and friendly.  I felt like I was old friends with everyone by the time I left.  When I had down time, waiting for a process to finish, I was offered snacks, champagne, and hand massages.  Luxury doesn’t even begin to explain the treatment I received.  It was incredible.


My stylist’s assistant, Douglas—who I absolutely love, started my experience off with a Mint Menthol Scalp Revitalizer on my roots.  The tingling feeling that this gave me felt so nice.  While this was on my head, Douglas did a Lemongrass Deep Hair Conditioner to rejuvenate my hair.  My hair is super dry and frizzy, so this procedure was PERFECT for my hair.  Douglas also used a Mineral Mud Moisture Booster mask on my hair.  He explained that it had marshmallow, sea kelp extract, and sea weed extract in it.  Feeling my hair now, after these procedures, the difference is so obvious.




After all of the masks were finished, my stylist, Ettore (who I also love) and I assessed my hair situation.  I’m pretty easy going when it comes to changing my hair, so I was ready for whatever he thought.  He wanted to put a gloss on my hair to amp up my brassy highlights to a bronze color.  He said it was going to be a huge color for fall, and I was more than happy to agree to it.  Who doesn’t want to be ahead of the trend?



All that was left to do after the gloss was the blow dry.  I have extremely frizzy, and sometimes unmanageable hair, so hair dryers have always intimidated me.  I expressed my fears to Ettore, and he gave me a ton of great tips to try at home.  He told me about a few anti-frizz products, the right kind of brushes to use, and how to hold the blow dryer to avoid frizz.  I loved that he was so helpful, and with the results he got, I’ll trust anything he says.  My hair has never been so smooth and silky from a hair dryer.  Normally I have to fry it with a straightener to get it barely manageable.




The services that I received from The Rittenhouse Spa & Club- Hair By Paul Labrecque were amazing, but to be honest, the staff was the best part of the experience.  They were beyond helpful, incredible knowledgeable, and very accommodating.  I felt so calm there the entire time because of how friendly and fun everyone was.  It was an amazing experience that I won’t soon forget.  The Rittenhouse Spa and Club better be careful if they ever invite me back because I just may never leave.
