Located in the New York's Soho neighborhood, Laicale Salon is the only US outpost of a boutique mini-chain that includes sister spots in Italy and Japan.

The salon's excellent colorists and cutters often work on fashion shoots, runway shows and celebrity clients, but despite its cutting-edge style, the place has a relaxed, down-to-earth feel, and is a favorite with clients from all walks of life. In keeping with that welcoming vibe, Laicale's house line of hair products have been designed to be user-friendly, too—they're created by professionals, but made for use in our bathrooms.

After a lengthy testing process, the salon recently launched a slew of targeted new treatment and styling products, a number of which are perfect for use on slightly-stressed summertime hair. The Amazon Relief Shampoo is a sulfate- and paraben-free formula that cleanses without striping natural moisture (it contains Amazon nut oils to leave hair shiny and smooth), while the Amazon Remedy Smoothing Conditioner has time-release conditioning agents to fight frizz all day long; both items contain a special Heatwave Technology to protect hair from heat styling and a Strand Guard Complex to ward off free radicals.

Also new is the Homme line, which, though it's billed as a guy's range, is already a hit with both sexes. The Homme Cleanser and Invigorating Conditioner have red tea, pomegranate, Vitamins A, C and E, spearmint, and eucalyptus to simulate the scalp, get rid of sebum deposits, and help hair look healthier (and thicker), while the 3-in-1 Shampoo is a travel- and gym bag-friendly all-in-one cleanser, conditioner and detangler packed with wheat protein and volumizing Provitamin B5.

LAICALE is pleased to announce its new line of haircare products, The Color Retention System®, developed to preserve color and other chemical treatments, while protecting the health of the hair.

Perfect for summer, the Leave In Protectant provides hair with all day protection from the aging effects of oxidation, free radical damage, and UV exposure. Preserves rich hues and vibrancy of salon color. Improves manageability. Use before sun or swim to prevent damage and fading.

The ultra rich Sulfate-Free Shampoo envelops hair with a soft lather, gently lifting residue, while nourishing vitamins and botanicals restore hair's youthful condition. This shampoo is great not only to preserve color, but to prolong the effects of the Brazilian Keratin Treatment.

The luxurious Daily Conditioner strengthens the hair shaft and smoothes the cuticle.

Used once or twice a week, the Intensive Treatment Mask delivers key ingredients deep into the hair, while replenishing the characteristics of youthful hair.

LAICALE's editorial team styled "America's Next Top Model" winner McKey Sullivan for the Tibi Spring runway show, featured on the "My Life as a Covergirl" segment on the show.

Lead stylist, Chie, worked with McKey's stylish pixie cut to create an edgy, fresh look that accentuated Tibi's modern-chic designs. The team styled the other models in loose, feminine waves, adding a romantic feel that tied in perfectly with the floral and peacock prints of the clothes.

Our friends at Covergirl did amazing work with the makeup, using bright, pigmented colors that brought the whole look together.
