Siné Essentials: High Quality Ingredients for the Health and Earth Conscious.

Formulated, bottled and produced all by the hands of stylist, Brad Hough and owner of Sine Qua Non Salon, Laura Boton, Siné Essentials is available for hair consumption nationwide! Made with essential oils and plant proteins, Siné Essentials is the clean alternative for the body and the sphere – it is biodegradable, created with plant-based active ingredients and it is made in Chicago, USA!

The Made-By-Hand Element

THE SINÉ LAB

Siné Essentials was conceived when Laura and Brad openly expressed their passion to find a healthier and progressive way to use products that are safer for humans and the Earth. Ingredients found in your store-bought hair products can cause damaging effects on personal health and beauty as well as the environment. Converting Laura’s garden level of her bungalow, Brad went to work in The Siné Lab before a day of styling at Sine Qua Non Salon and during coveted weekends.

“I see formulating and making these products by hand as an extension of what I do creatively everyday as a hairstylist: taking raw material and synthesizing it into something new” – Brad Hough

It took about two years to perfect the Hydration Shampoo & Conditioner, the Everyday Shampoo & Conditioner and the Everything Oil. A forager for beauty, Brad handpicked and sourced each ingredient to create the unique blend for all the products now available in all Sine Qua Non Salon locations and on the website. Brad would have the talented Sine Qua Non Salon stylists use the product on themselves and on clients to retrieve feedback, tweak the functionality and efficacy to support the demands of the stylists and go back to the “scent” board to fine-tune the texture and fragrances of each product. While being the beauty liaison, Laura had the scent palette to guide Brad to nail the fragrance of the essential oil blends. Each bottle is hand-created, poured and perfected by Brad himself, taking two days to make and bottle for sale.

Siné Essentials On The Road:

Brad and Sine Qua Non Salon Stylist, Mischa, will be taking a 10-day road trip from Chicago to Los Angeles on the historic Route 66 to get inspiration for the next wave of the Siné Essentials product line. Many of the ingredients used in the Hydration Shampoo & Conditioner, the Everyday Shampoo & Conditioner and the Everyday Oil were inspired by trips made during the two year process. The sage used in the Everyday Shampoo was inspired by a weeklong backpacking trip along Sage Creek in the Badlands of South Dakota. The main fragrance, neroli, in the Everything Oil was found in a small boutique in San Francisco. Brad became obsessed with the scent and researched the oil, finding amazing calming properties and just had to use it.

Siné Essentials is available in all Sine Qua Non Salons and you can order it online! We also have the special SINÉMOBILE – a 1976 Chevy Malibu, in clean, tip-top shape and ready to deliver Siné Essentials to boutique vendors in the city of Chicago! Standard shipping is also available.
