OUR PICKS THIS SEASON
The things that have put the Spring back in our step xx
Welcome to the season of new beginnings and transformation. Say goodbye to winter as new growth radiates within yourself and the world around you, as leaves returns to trees and orchards bloom, the light breeze heralding the coming of Summer. A time for growth, rebirth and renewal - take a moment to partake in activities honouring the sentiments of the season… whether that may be planting your favourite tomato variety, exploring new modes of movement (Pilates, anyone?), spreading your social wings or nurturing from within!
Spring is our favourite time of year at Crysalis, ushering in a time for a fresh hairstyle, brighter colours, even brighter lipsticks and our favourite warm weather playlists you might catch us bopping along to in the corner of the salon. We’ve curated a selection of our favourite things that have been putting the Spring back in our step this season (pun intended), scroll to see our picks… xo
Scents of the Season
Our scent of the season, the Energise Aromatherapy Pulse Oil from Palm of Feronia is one that will be hard to beat. Designed to invigorate, this vibrant and spicy fusion was created to evoke the sensation of having a morning coffee (without the caffeine!) - for those who are seeking focus, motivation and confidence.
These travel-friendly roller balls of aroma-therapeutic oils are the perfect on-the-go companion to soothe, calm re-energise and centre your mind, body and soul. Infused with a premium blend of essential oils and crystals to promote good energy and self-love, simply roll onto your wrists, palms, temples, back of the neck, or feet and rub to warm and release the natural fragrance.
Crystals // Yellow Jasper, Madeira Quartz, Banded Carnelian
Blend // Frankincense, Orange, Rosemary, Ginger, Grapefruit
Hand-blended on the full moon and allowed to infuse for at least one lunar cycle. Each crystal and blend is intentionally charged with reiki energy.
Set the mood
If you’ve walked the gorgeous terrace lined streets of the Newcastle East End or traversed through Civic Park lately, you will have noticed that leaves have returned to trees, birds, bugs and bees all chirping in odd harmonies and most importantly… flowers are in full bloom - boasting their lustrous colours and scents ushering in the warmer months. Bring the outdoors in with Etikette’s Soul Sisters Candle, a divine blend of Bergamot, Ooolong, Wild Jasmine and Musk. .

Relax into 80 hours of calm (yes, it burns for that long!) and allow Etikette’s Soul Sisters Candle to transport you to your inner wilderness, embrace the divine feminine and reflect on the sweetness of sisterhood.
Hair-care is self-care
The ultimate nurturing ritual in our books, your hair-care routine is a top priority coming into the warmer months! With increased exposure to sun, swimming, and all other fun things that the Spring season brings - dehydration, frizz and environmental damage also increase. Don’t fret! Oway’s best-selling Moisturising range is here to save the day (and your hair)!
Packing a punch with powerful all-natural active ingredients such as Bio-dynamic Hazel Extract, Organic Honey Extract and Ethical Murumuru Butter, the Moisturizing Hair Bath, Mask and No-Rinse Conditioner replenish the hair from within. Providing long lasting hydration, this thirst-quenching trio restores elasticity, softness and vitality to dehydrated, sensitised and dull hair thanks to the synergy of this blend of ultra-nourishing ingredients.
As an added bonus, the Moisturizing Hair Mask can be used as both a traditional conditioner as well as a treatment - after shampooing, just leave in the hair for a minimum of 5 - 10 minutes for maximum hydration and shine! Finish with the lightweight No-Rinse Moist Conditioner spray, helping to detangle as well as providing long lasting softening and moisturising without weighing the hair down… hello volume!
healing for the home
Some more favourites from our beloved Palm of Feronia, our obsession with all things crystals hasn’t slowed yet!
