Nutrafol is not just another supplement; it’s clinically backed to address hair thinning and promote healthy hair growth from within.

These supplements are designed with natural ingredients to support whole-body wellness, making them a great fit for anyone seeking not only thicker, stronger hair but also an overall boost to health.
What sets Nutrafol apart is its effectiveness. In clinical studies, 86% of women reported significant hair growth and improved quality after six months of use. Nutrafol is also popular among men, with results showing thicker hair and less shedding. Whether you’re dealing with postpartum shedding, stress-related thinning, or simply want to improve the strength and vitality of your hair, Nutrafol has a customized solution for you.
We’re proud to bring this leading supplement to Kalispell, and you can now purchase Nutrafol at Spruce Salon. We offer Nutrafol’s specialized formulas that address specific needs like postpartum hair loss and hair thinning due to menopause.

Thank You for Voting Us One of the Best of the Flathead Yet Again
We’re truly honored to be yet again voted one of the best salons in the Flathead and for Jerrette Baker as Best Stylist in the Flathead. This is truly one of the most humbling awards we receive and the one that means the most to us - there’s nothing like being honored by your own community. Here’s to another year in service to our beautiful community.
Hair Care in Hard Water
While hard water may be safe to drink, it can wreak havoc on your hair. If you've noticed your locks looking dull, feeling dry, and suffering from excessive buildup, it might be time to adjust your hair care routine. In this blog, we'll explore the challenges of hard water and provide practical tips to keep your hair healthy and vibrant.
Hard water contains high levels of minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium - particular here in the Flathead Valley. When you wash your hair with hard water, these minerals can form deposits that leave your hair feeling less than fabulous. Over time, these deposits can weigh your hair down, cause dryness, and even affect your hair's color.
The best solution to your hard water woes is a full water purification system for your home - but sometimes even that isn’t enough. There are a few options that can help remove mineral build-up and bring life back to your hair.
1. Clarifying Shampoos
A clarifying shampoo is your best friend when dealing with hard water. These specialized shampoos are designed to remove mineral buildup, product residue, and impurities from your hair. Use a clarifying shampoo once a week or as needed to prevent mineral buildup and maintain hair health.
2. Chelating Shampoos
Chelating shampoos are another effective option. They contain ingredients that bind to the minerals in hard water, making it easier to rinse them away. Using a chelating shampoo once a month can help keep your hair looking its best.
3. Filtered Showerheads
Investing in a filtered showerhead is a proactive approach to combating hard water problems. These showerheads remove minerals and other impurities, providing you with softer water for washing your hair. Over time, you'll notice a significant improvement in the look and feel of your hair.
4. Vinegar Rinse
A vinegar rinse can help break down mineral buildup and leave your hair looking shiny and clean. Mix one part apple cider vinegar with three parts water and use it as a final rinse after shampooing. Rinse thoroughly with cold water to seal the hair cuticle.
5. Deep Conditioning
To combat the dryness hard water can cause, consider incorporating deep conditioning treatments into your routine. These treatments will help replenish lost moisture and improve the overall health of your hair.
6. Protect Your Hair
If you live in an area with hard water (which is pretty much anywhere in Flathead County), it's essential to protect your hair from further damage. Avoid excessive heat styling, limit the use of hair products that can exacerbate buildup, and consider wearing a swimming cap when in chlorinated pools.
7. Stay Hydrated
Hydration is not only important for your body but also for your hair. Drinking plenty of water can help your hair stay healthy from the inside out. Hydrated hair is less prone to damage and looks shinier.
Dealing with hard water can be frustrating, but with the right techniques and products, you can maintain beautiful, healthy hair. By using clarifying and chelating shampoos, investing in a filtered showerhead, and following a proper hair care routine, you'll be able to combat the effects of hard water and enjoy locks that shine with vitality and bounce with life. Remember, your hair deserves the best care, even when faced with the challenges of hard water.
Unlocking the Secrets to the Perfect Curly Cut
For those who are blessed with curly hair, achieving that perfect, bouncy, and well-defined curl can sometimes feel like an elusive goal. It's not just about the right products and styling techniques; it starts with the foundation – a great curly hair cut. In this blog post, we will dive into the art and science of getting the perfect curly hair cut.
Before you embark on the journey to find the right curly hair cut, it's crucial to understand the unique characteristics of curly hair. Unlike straight hair, curly hair tends to have varying curl patterns, textures, and levels of thickness. Your hair's porosity, density, and elasticity all play a role in determining the best cut for your curls - which is why working with a curl specialist is so important.
Selecting the right stylist is the first step in your quest for the perfect curly hair cut. Not all hairstylists are experienced with curly hair, so make sure to find one who specializes in cutting and styling curly locks. You can ask for recommendations from friends with similar hair types or search online for reviews and portfolios of local hairstylists who excel in curly hair. Here at Spruce Salon in Kalispell, Montana, Jerrette Baker is our resident curl specialist.
A proper curly hair cut starts with a thorough consultation. During this phase, you and your stylist should discuss your hair goals, maintenance routine, and lifestyle. Be sure to communicate your hair's quirks, such as frizz, uneven curl patterns, or any trouble areas. This will help your stylist create a customized plan for your curls.
One of the key principles of a curly hair cut is that it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, it's about tailoring the cut to your unique hair characteristics. As a result, getting a curly cut is best suited to those who wear their hair curly nearly all the time - though the occasional straightening is completely fine. There are various cutting techniques used for curly hair, including the DevaCut, Ouidad cut, and the traditional curl-by-curl method. The choice of technique depends on your hair type and desired outcome. Here at Spruce Salon, Jerrette uses dry cutting techniques including the DevaCut and traditional curl-by-curl methods paired with occasional wet cut detailing depending on your curl pattern, texture and density.
Layers play a significant role in enhancing the shape and definition of your curls. The right layers can create movement and reduce weight, preventing the dreaded triangle shape that many curly-haired people struggle with. Your stylist will carefully evaluate where to add layers and how to structure them for the best results.
After your curly hair cut, your stylist may introduce you to specific styling techniques and products that work best for your hair type. For example, the "plopping" method, diffusing, and using curl-enhancing products can help you achieve that stunning, well-defined curl pattern at home.
To keep your curls looking their best, it's essential to follow a regular maintenance routine. This may involve trims every few months to maintain the shape, using products suitable for curly hair, and protecting your curls from environmental factors that can cause frizz.
Getting a curly hair cut is not just a simple trip to the hair salon; it's a commitment to embracing and enhancing your natural curls. By understanding your hair's unique characteristics, choosing the right stylist, and maintaining your curls with the right products and techniques, you can unlock the secrets to the perfect curly hair cut. With the right care and attention, you'll be well on your way to having gorgeous, head-turning curls that you'll be proud to flaunt.

Products are a profoundly important element in any hairdresser’s arsenal of tools - and that’s why we had to be particular when we made the decision of which line we wanted to partner with. We landed on R+Co and R+Co Bleu for several reasons; their commitment to clean ingredients, their focus on the planet and their commitment to education.
