Summer Hair Care With The Mae
The sun-drenched days of summer are here, and the city's hair enthusiasts are flocking to The Mae, a bohemian spa nestled in the Butler Tarkington and Meridian Kessler neighborhoods. This boutique salon, founded by Korie Lance, is more than just a place to get your hair done—it's a sanctuary where inner beauty is celebrated and natural radiance is enhanced.
As Indiana's first benefit corporation salon, The Mae is a place where looking good, feeling good and doing good intersect. In addition to salon and spa services, Korie and several others on her team offer coaching services, empowering and enlightening others to live the life they are called to live and be their most authentic aligned selves.
"We're not just about hair," says Korie, adding she got into this industry because she loved the inner transformation that happens when people feel beautiful. "We love to teach people how to embrace their natural texture and work with their natural tones. Society really pushes women to change almost everything about themselves and we really try to stand out as a place in the beauty industry that goes against the status quo and encourages women to embrace their natural beauty and remind them that true beauty comes from the inside out."
The Mae's holistic approach has earned it recognition as one of the Top 200 Salons in the Nation for both 2023 and 2024, and Salon of the Year for 2023. But for Korie, the real measure of success is in the smiles of her clients and the flourishing of her team.
"We take a holistic approach to beauty," Korie passionately explains. "We desire to draw out and magnify our client's inner beauty by reflecting it in healthy, gorgeous, naturally enhanced hair!" This philosophy shines through in The Mae's summer hair care tips.

Embrace Your Natural Texture.
The Mae's stylists encourage clients to work with, not against, their hair's natural inclinations. "Use products and styling techniques recommended by your stylist to enhance and embrace your natural texture," Korie advises. "Save the heat styling for special events!" This approach not only protects your hair from unnecessary damage but also celebrates your unique beauty. Deep Condition Weekly. To combat the drying effects of sun, chlorine and salt water, Korie recommends using a deep conditioning masque once a week. This simple step can keep your locks luscious and hydrated throughout the summer months. |
Use Pool Protection Before Diving In.
"Your hair is like a sponge," Korie explains. "Moisten it with a leave-in conditioner or even tap water so that it doesn't soak up as many chemicals when getting in the pool." For post-swim care, she recommends using Malibu Shampoo to rid the hair of chlorine. Try an Innovative Treatment. The Mae stays at the forefront of hair care technology. "The new Kerastase Premier System is an incredible way to decalcify hair and remove build-up while restoring the hair back to its natural bonds," Korie shares, excited about offering this service to her clients. |
