Why I Keep Recommending Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil to My Clients in Fairfield

Almost every week, I hear the same thing in my chair: “Ann, my hair feels fried, but I don’t want anything heavy.” If that sounds like you, this is why I keep reaching for Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil. It’s light, powerful, and actually makes a real difference. Living here in New Jersey means our hair takes a beating with humid summers and dry winters. This oil has been a lifesaver for so many of my clients, and I’ll tell you why.

My First Impression as a Stylist

When Olaplex first released the Bonding Oil, I wasn’t expecting much. Most oils either sit on the surface making hair greasy or vanish without helping at all. This one caught me off guard. The first time I used it during a blowout, the ends looked smooth and glossy, but the hair still felt light and bouncy. My client even turned around in the chair and said, “Wait…my hair feels soft, not oily!” That reaction hasn’t stopped since.

Who Benefits Most from It?

At The Warehouse Salon in Fairfield, I work with all kinds of hair: fine blondes dealing with breakage, brunettes who fight frizz, and clients with extensions who want everything blended and polished. Here’s where Olaplex No.7 makes the biggest impact:

• Color-treated hair: Protects fragile strands after highlights or balayage.
• Fine hair: Adds shine without leaving a greasy film.
• Curly or textured hair: Defines curls and tames frizz, especially in our muggy New Jersey summers.
• Extension clients: Keeps natural hair and extensions looking smooth together.

How I Use It in the Salon

A little goes a very long way. I’ll use just a drop or two on damp hair before blow-drying, focusing on the mids and ends. For clients who style daily with heat, I layer in a small amount before flat ironing since it doubles as a heat protectant. One of my regulars who lives near Pio Costa told me it even cut her morning styling time because her hair stayed smooth for days. She said it still looked polished after running errands around town or grabbing lunch at Cutting Board Deli.

Comparing It to Other Oils

I’ve tried just about every salon oil out there. Some smell great but sit on the hair. Others add shine but don’t actually strengthen anything. Olaplex No.7 stands out because it’s repairing while it styles. That means my clients who come in for color services don’t just walk out with shiny hair. They see stronger, healthier hair every week they use it. That’s the difference for me.

Styling Tips You Can Steal

• Warm one or two drops between your hands before applying so it spreads evenly.
• Mix a drop into your favorite leave-in conditioner for extra softness.
• Use it on day two or three to refresh the ends without starting from scratch.
• The travel size fits in any bag and has saved me (and my clients) on more than one trip.

A Client’s Perspective

One balayage client, Jessica, worried oils would make her fine hair flat. I convinced her to try No.7, and when she came back the next week, she said, “Ann, this is the first time my hair feels healthy without being sticky or limp.” That’s the kind of feedback that keeps me reaching for this product again and again.

Final Thoughts from Behind the Chair

If you’re in Fairfield and tired of products that promise shine but only give you grease, Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil is one I’d absolutely recommend. It works for the weather and lifestyle we deal with here in New Jersey, and it’s something I’ve seen make a real difference for my clients. Whether you’re leaving the salon with fresh highlights or just need a reliable finishing product, this oil delivers.
