When thinking about living a simpler life, the first thing that often comes to mind is “less”. Within an industry that’s usually screaming more, TMAC’s Salon chooses to take a holistic approach to beauty.
“Clean beauty” isn’t the same as minimalism, but there is a large overlap. Minimalism means owning fewer beauty products, choosing ones that are right for your skin and hair type and functional with pure formulas of highly efficient ingredients,” says Tara McAdams-May, Holistic Hairapist and owner of TMAC’s.
For TMAC, clean beauty encourages guests to take part in reducing waste by utilizing a refill program for their Oway products. Customers receive a 20 percent discount on refills when they responsibly reuse Oway’s amber glass bottles originally purchased from either of the salon’s locations.
Making the salon experience more personal is a simple specialty of TMAC’s. The signature Cut & Release Ceremonial Haircut Service is one way to learn about the spiritual impact of a haircut.
Each strand of hair is a tiny history of emotional, hormonal and nutritional experience. Shoulder-length hair can carry up to six years of sickness, setbacks or traumas. An intentional clearing of that energy is beneficial. The simple act of cutting hair can also signify the separation from past actions or thoughts. McAdams-May has been practicing the blend of these basic holistic practices in cosmetology for two decades to help others find balance within themselves.
