🍁October at Salon deZEN: Richer Color, Local Beauty & The Art of the Cut 🍁
Hello, deZEN Family!
October has a way of making us want a little more richness.
Richer color. Softer texture. A fresh cut. A little more intention in the way we get ready for the season ahead.
This month at deZEN, we’re embracing that feeling, from the fall color trends inspiring our latest Alexandria Stylebook feature, to continued education behind the chair and our participation in Alexandria’s very first Old Town Beauty Crawl. We’re growing our craft, celebrating our community, and helping you find the version of fall beauty that feels most like you.

🍁 Fall Color Is Getting Richer, Softer & More Personal 🍁
Fall always brings a natural desire for change and this season, that change is looking a little softer, richer, and much more personal.
In Maria’s latest Alexandria Stylebook feature, she explores the fall color movement toward velvet espresso, rich chocolate, chestnut, warm amber, cinnamon, copper, cherry cola, honey, maple, and creamy blondes. The common thread? Less about following one universal trend and more about creating dimension that works with your coloring, lifestyle, hair integrity, and maintenance preferences.
And perhaps the biggest trend of all is shine. Glosses, thoughtful treatments, and customized color can refresh faded tones and bring that healthy, reflective finish back to your hair without necessarily committing to a dramatic transformation.
“The best trend isn't the one everyone else is wearing. It's the one that makes you feel like yourself, just a little more elevated.”
Ready for your fall refresh?
Talk with your stylist about what could work for your hair, your lifestyle, and the amount of maintenance you actually want.
💄 Old Town’s First-Ever Beauty Crawl 💄
Old Town got a little more beautiful this September.
We were proud to participate in Alexandria's first-ever Old Town Beauty Crawl, joining more than a dozen local beauty businesses for a weekend designed to bring the neighborhood together through beauty, discovery, promotions, and community.
The crawl brought people from one Old Town beauty destination to the next, with stamp cards, exclusive offers, prizes, and plenty of opportunities to discover businesses right in our own backyard.
At deZEN, we offered 50% off Brow Tint with any Lamination service and 10% off retail products during the crawl.
For us, the best part wasn't just being included, it was seeing local businesses come together and creating something that encouraged people to explore, connect, and support the neighborhood we’re lucky enough to call home.
We love being part of Old Town. And we love having you here with us.
✂️ The Art of the Cut: Continued Education with Marie Kieffer ✂️
Great hair doesn't happen by accident.
It comes from experience, creativity, curiosity, and a willingness to keep learning.
Our team recently continued our cutting education with Marie Kieffer, an EVO educator whose work spans cutting, color, and styling. EVO describes its educators as industry professionals who challenge boundaries, explore new techniques, and continue pushing their craft forward.
For our team, education isn't something we do once and check off the list. It's part of our culture.
Every new technique we learn gives us another way to approach your hair. Every new perspective gives us another way to see what might be possible. And every time our stylists grow, that growth comes back to the guest sitting in the chair.
Because staying inspired behind the chair means creating better experiences in front of it.
🤍 Thank You for Supporting deZEN 🤍
We never take your support for granted.
Whether you've been coming to deZEN for years, discovered us through the Beauty Crawl, shared one of our Stylebook articles, recommended us to a friend, or simply continue choosing us for your hair and beauty needs—you are part of our story.
Your support allows us to keep investing in our team, continuing our education, participating in our community, and creating the kind of salon experience we believe in.
Thank you for helping us grow.
See You Soon!
October is about more than changing your hair for a new season. It's about finding what feels right now.
Maybe that's a richer color. Maybe it's a new cut. Maybe it's simply taking an hour for yourself and walking back out the door feeling a little more like you.
Whatever your fall looks like, we're here to help you make it yours.
With warmth, gratitude, and a little autumn inspiration,
The Salon deZEN Team
