Want some sea kelp in your hair?

Chances are you will if it’s a kelp alginate hair treatment from Bish Salon. This bio-natural hair salon’s Laminaria Digitata kelp treatment is designed to restore hair balance, soften texture and add shine and volume. All for just $20.

Owner Kevin Bish is passionate about his kelp-based product line. Using organic and locally sourced brown kelp alginate—an abundant renewable resource found along Nova Scotia’s shoreline—the salon offers its own conditioners and shampoos in addition to its in-house kelp treatment.

For those who want a little bit of fragrance, the flagship shampoo Purifier offers a mild and uplifting combination of geranium, lavender, patchouli and bergamot. You can also choose from citrus, peppermint or eucalyptus infused concoctions or go fragrance-free altogether. Each offers a different benefit, and all contain Bish’s naturally processed alginate. You’ll be happy to know the conditioner doubles as a skin lotion, shaving cream and hand lotion. 

The Halifax salon also carries 100 per cent ammonia free permanent hair colour. It also contains—you guessed it—alginate. And no harsh chemicals. Because Bish products come in glass bottles, customers get a discount when they bring them back in for a refill.

It’s worth dropping in to sea what it’s all about.
