Summer Starts Now: Your Glow-Up Game Plan
Your Summer Glow-Up Game Plan Is Here!
There’s something about summer that calls us to step into the best version of ourselves. Maybe it’s the longer days, the sun-soaked plans, or the desire to show up feeling confident—whether we’re poolside, at a wedding, or simply enjoying a sunny afternoon in Rantoul. But glowing skin and flawless hair don’t just happen by accident. The most radiant, refreshed summer looks start with intentional self-care.

At Shear Excellence Salon in Rantoul, IL, we’re here to help you build your ultimate glow-up game plan—so you can walk into every summer moment looking and feeling amazing.
Whether you’re prepping for events or just want to feel effortlessly put together this season, here’s how to do summer the Shear Excellence way.
Step 1: Start With Your Skin—Because Glow Comes From Within
After months of winter dryness and spring allergies, your skin deserves some real TLC before the heat rolls in.
Why now is the perfect time for a facial:
Your skin is about to face sun exposure, sweat, and more time outdoors. A Hydrafacial or Seasonal Facial helps detox pores, restore hydration, and boost your glow naturally—so you can rock minimal makeup with maximum confidence.
Our top recommendations:
- Diamond Hydrafacial™ – Targets dullness, fine lines, and congestion while infusing skin with hydrating serums and antioxidants. You’ll walk out looking like you just got back from vacation.
- Seasonal Custom Facial – Tailored to your skin’s specific seasonal needs—whether you’re battling dry patches or sun sensitivity.
- Dermaplaning Add-On – Say goodbye to peach fuzz and dead skin, and hello to smoother foundation and natural glow.

💡 Pro tip: Add our Lip Perk to hydrate and plump your pout—perfect for no-lipstick summer days.
Step 2: Refresh Your Hair for Heat, Humidity & Fun
Humidity is no match for healthy, summer-prepped hair. But between sun, chlorine, and heat styling, your strands need a little extra love to stay smooth and shiny all season long.
Consider this your summer hair checklist:
- Gloss or Toner – Adds shine and revives faded color from spring. A game-changer if your hair’s been feeling dull.
- Deep Conditioning Treatment – Essential for color-treated or heat-exposed hair. Think of it as hydration therapy for your strands.
- Haircut or Trim – Remove split ends and give your hair a lighter, fresh feel for summer movement.
- Event Blowout or Styled Look – Whether you’re heading to a barbecue, date night, or lake weekend, this is the secret to feeling put together.

💡Ask us about frizz-fighting treatments or humidity-resistant styles to keep your look polished, no matter the weather.
Step 3: Reveal Silky Skin with Full-Body Care
It’s tank-top season—and there’s no better feeling than stepping out with smooth, glowing skin.
From waxing to brow shaping to body treatments, summer self-care goes far beyond just your face.
Summer skin essentials:
- Leg, Underarm, and Brazilian Waxing – Long-lasting smoothness means more freedom and less shaving.
- Brow Lamination & Tint – Shape, lift, and define your brows for a low-maintenance, polished look.
- Lash Lift & Tint – Your new summer secret weapon—no mascara needed, just naturally lifted lashes that last weeks.
- BodiBronze Sunless Tanning – Get that golden glow without the sun damage. This is a must for vacations, weddings, and photo ops.
💡We recommend scheduling your waxing and facials at least 48 hours before spray tanning for best results!
Step 4: Glow Up for Your Summer Moments
Summer isn’t just about one look—it’s about feeling radiant for all the little and big moments: Weddings. Road trips. Weekend brunches. Backyard get-togethers. Patio date nights.
