The Only Gray · Pepper Place
What I use.
These are the three I reach for most, and the ones I keep having to explain in the chair. If you buy through the links on this page I earn a small commission — it costs you nothing extra, and I only put my name on things I truly believe in and use on my clients.
Metal Detector
Hair lost its shine? Color fading too quickly and/or going brassy? Won't hold a curl — or frizzes the second you leave the house?
Here in Birmingham, the culprit is in the water — heavy metals, hard minerals, and yes, even microplastics. They dull your shine and pull your color brassy fast. Metal Detector clears them out — so your color stays true and your shine comes back. And stays back.
R+Co
Centerpiece
I keep robbing this off my own retail shelf to use on people in the chair, which should tell you everything. It's the one that makes hair feel like hair again. It's a conditioning spray that does about ten jobs at once — it detangles, knocks the frizz down, puts moisture and shine back, and strengthens the hair, as well. It contains sea buckthorn oil, vitamins A and E, hyaluronic acid. Mist it through damp hair before adding any other products, layer it under whatever you style with, or use it on second-day hair to bring it back to life. It goes on light, so fine hair can wear it too.
R+Co
On A Cloud
If your hair's been through it — highlights, heat, all of it — this is what I reach for. The whole line works together, and it puts the strength back. It's a bond-builder, built on baobab oil-protein. The R+Co shampoo cleans gently instead of stripping what little is left. This masque does the real repair — it goes down into the fibre and rebuilds the bonds that colour-lifting and hot tools broke. The R+Co leave-in oil carries that repair through the day and seals the cuticle while you style. If you're going lighter, or you're on hot tools most days, this one is not optional.
R+Co
It's not just about my clients looking great when they leave the salon today — it's about their colour and texture and shine continuing until they're back in my chair. I do not cut corners.
