In the heat of the summer, it is all about how less is actually more.

We asked a few JUUT Daymakers to share what they’re loving this season, from the products they can’t stop reaching for to the hairstyles accompanying them through long lake days, concerts, farmers markets, and everything in between.

We spend more time outside but maybe we wash our hair a little less to allow it to have that beach wave effect. We embrace sun-kissed color maybe instead of adding more foils, and we dial into the routines and products that make getting ready feel effortless instead of complicated.

Here’s what’s making summer so beautiful…

Healthy, touchable hair is always in style and Miraculous Oil was one of the most-loved products across our salons.

Sarah Jo from JUUT St. Paul calls it one of her summer essentials alongside Texture Tonic, using the duo to enhance her natural waves while adding softness and shine. Scout from JUUT St. Paul loves its versatility.

“Not only does it smell amazing, but it makes the hair so soft. I love that I can use it on wet and dry hair. It doubles as a heat protectant too, which is a plus.”

Amy from JUUT Wayzata has been reaching for Aveda’s new One for All Leave-In Elixir, especially after pool days. “It’s like if a hair oil and cream had a baby. My hair feels so soft, so light, and the shine is chef’s kiss.”

Meanwhile, Kirby from JUUT Wayzata is relying on Botanical Repair Flash Treatment to fight summer frizz.

“I use it after washing and conditioning my hair for just 10 seconds.”

Sometimes the best summer routine isn’t adding more. It’s finding the few products that truly do it all.

These Daymaker secrets are worth stealing because the little techniques often make the biggest difference, especially when fighting heat and humidity.

Sarah Jo recommends spraying Texture Tonic into dry hair before scrunching to revive natural texture, then finishing with a touch of Miraculous Oil through the ends for softness and shine.

Scout’s favorite trick happens before styling even begins. “I put Miraculous Oil in before detangling wet hair. It makes brushing so much easier. I use about four to six drops on wet hair and just a few on dry hair afterward.”

For skincare, Kate from JUUT Edina reminds us that application matters just as much as the product itself.

“Warm your SPF in your hands first, then gently press it into the skin to avoid white cast or product buildup.”

Small habits. Gorgeous results.

Summer style is all about looking polished without feeling overdone.

Sarah Jo is embracing the effortless half-up, half-down look with favorite barrettes and claw clips. Kate loves dimensional highlights that create a naturally sun-kissed look with very little maintenance throughout the season. And Amy has mastered the trend of overnight heatless curls. “It simplifies my morning routine to under two minutes.”

Kirby rotates between a classic blowout and her natural curls, relying on Botanical Repair Flash Treatment to keep frizz under control and extend the life of every style. And Scout’s signature look is a soft, bouncy blowout. “I just bump the ends under with my 1½-inch curling iron and curl the face-framing pieces. It feels effortless.” Add some texture to that bouncy blowout with Tousle Texture and it will help act as both a texture spray and a dry shampoo all day.

Whether your hair is air drying, curled, clipped up, or freshly blown out, summer is the perfect season to work with your hair instead of against it.

And our favorite part of asking these questions wasn’t hearing about products or hairstyles…

It was hearing how our artists spend the season.

Sarah Jo is happiest dancing to live music with friends.

Kate loves ending a long hike with a beach picnic.

Amy never misses a slow Sunday morning wandering the farmers market.

Kirby’s perfect day is spent at the lake cabin with friends.

And Scout enjoys discovering new walking trails, grabbing coffee afterward, or simply reading on her balcony.

Wherever this season takes you, your JUUT artist is here to help you find the products, services, and routine that fit your life beautifully.
