Going on a holiday soon?
Don’t leave home without these.

Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone is going on a trip these days? If you’re one of the lucky ones who is going on a holiday soon, we created this list of our Top 5 Travel Essentials so you won’t leave anything behind.

Hand holding 3 mini hair products

1. Travel Size Hair Products

We love these little square bottles from Kevin.Murphy. With a range of shampoos, conditioners, and styling products, you won’t have to sacrifice your hair style for space in your suitcase! Bonus: bring them home and refill for your next trip! We carry travel sizes in all our brands, like Aveda and Neuma too!

Starting at $10.

2. Cute Hair Clips

Keeping these clips on hand is a great idea for trips. They come in super handy if the weather is a little breezy, they’re perfect for twisting your hair up straight out of the pool, and they’re great for using while styling. Keep one clipped to your purse strap for easy access on the go!

We love these ones from Kitsch starting at $11.

3. Sunless Tanning Products

We all know the only safe way to get a tan is the sunless way. Add a warm, subtle glow to your face and body with these products from SunnaTan. They’re packed with the nourishing, anti-ageing ingredients we love.
Tip: Book in for a spray tan with Ashlynn or Tennille before your trip and arrive with a beautiful, natural looking tan!

Starting at $32.

4. Powder Sunscreen

We love this weightless, dry, physical SPF 30 broad spectrum sunscreen for face, body and scalp. It’s easy to reapply during the day, and perfect for kids too! Don’t forget to do your hairline and your part.
Bonus: This one is recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective broad spectrum sunscreen.

4 Shades available and includes 2 refillable canisters $69.

5. Sun Hat

Our favourite shop Kid Sister Lifestyle has the BEST selection of Australian-designed hats. They come with a UPF Rating of 50+ in a variety of styles and sizes. If you’re local to Red Deer, come in to our salon and try one on! See them online.

Shop online, pick up at Copper Lane. Starting at $99.


We know you already have your passport, air pods, comfy shoes, and all that other stuff packed. Now it’s time to add those essentials.
