No. 03The Shelf

One of the few in Northwest Arkansas

Kérastase lives here.

Very few salons in Northwest Arkansas carry Kérastase. Dead Swanky is one of them, and has been for more than twenty years. The full regimen is on our shelf, and the treatments happen in our chairs.

Our shelf, 26 W. Center St.

How it works.

The backbar, where treatments are mixed and applied

  1. 01

    It starts with a look

    Every visit begins with a complimentary consultation. Your stylist reads your hair and scalp before anything is mixed.

  2. 02

    The treatment is made for you

    Fusio-Dose is blended on the spot for what your hair needs that day. Première is the reset for hair worn down by hard water and chemical services.

  3. 03

    The routine goes home with you

    The same ranges used at the backbar are on the shelf by the front desk, so what works in the chair keeps working in your shower.
