7 things to know about a
Keratin Smoothing Treatment
Can having a Keratin Smoothing Treatment make managing your hair easier? Yes! Absolutely.
But it isn’t a magic wand! Here are 7 things you need to know.
What is a Keratin Smoothing Treatment?
It is an in-salon non-permanent, heat-activated hair treatment that heat seals keratin (hair protein) onto the hair strand and into the hair cuticle to create the effect of shiny smooth hair with much less frizz.
Are all keratin treatments the same?
No. There are many brands of keratin treatment on the market today, not all offering the same levels of health and safety. Some brands still contain hazardous chemicals which release highly carcinogenic gas.
The Keratin Smoothing Treatment that we use, has been tested to the strictest standards and does not contain any ingredient which releases carcinogenic gases.
With correct care, your 1st keratin treatment will last about 12 weeks.
With the right home hair care, the first treatment will last about 12 weeks. The second and subsequent treatments will last longer, between 16-20 weeks. If you lighten your hair, the treatments will still be effective but may not last as long.
Do you need a keratin or just a REALLY GOOD HAIRCUT and hair advice?
Often people who think they have frizzy hair just need a good haircut and great hair care advice. A keratin smoothing treatment could definitely be an option but keratin treatments are NOT wash and wear. They still require heat activation from irons or a blowdryer but it takes a fraction of the time to get a smooth look.
Keratin smoothing treatments are customised to suit you.
Our Keratin Treatments are customised to suit your specific hair type and goals. The two-part system firstly allows the hair to be shaped and the second part smooths down the hair cuticle. This means that you can still have body on the root and a slight curve at the base if this is the look you want rather than straight from roots to ends.
Our stylists will consult with you to understand your hair challenges and advise on the best outcomes for you.
If I love the smooth look of keratin, can I then get a permanent straightening?
NO.
Permanent hair straightening and keratin smoothing treatments contain ingredients that, when mixed together (even on your hair), will weaken your hair. You must wait a minimum of 6-8 months until the relaxer/Brazilian/Keratin Treatment coating has gradually washed out. Applying permanent straightening solutions over hair that has had a Keratin Treatment will potentially damage and weaken the hair causing breakage.
Is a Brazilian/Keratin Smoothing Treatments different from Permanent Straightening?
YES. Permanent hair straightening permanently straightens hair by penetrating the hair shaft and physically changing the internal structure of hair.
Brazilian/Keratin treatments are temporary – keratin is sealed into the hair cuticle using irons and blowdryers which has the effect of smoothing the hair strand. Brazilian/Keratin treatments will wash out on average between 3-5 months, so you simply get another treatment. Your treatment will last just that little big longer each time.

Here are the boring bits to read about our Happy Hair Guarantee.
After a thorough consult on cut and colour he delivered outstanding results! Natural colour and a great cut that has been so easy to care for.
Two visits now and both were on point.
Thank you Scott!
I have never done a review on anything before in my life but I honestly cant rave enough about this salon. I had not gone to a hairdresser for almost two years because I was so attached to my long black hair. Even though its just hair and it will grow back, this was a big deal for me. Having the thought of it getting cut scared the heck out of me and the anxiety I would get if I had gone to a hairdresser that didn't give me the results I wanted.
After reading several reviews on here I was 100 percent certain that I was going to Lily's and my hair's destiny was going to be in Sam's magical hands haha. She had so many good reviews I just had to choose her!
From the moment I walked in I was welcomed, I showed Sam a few pictures of my desired look but was still uncertain what would look good for me. Sam had walked me through the whole process together, she was patient and gave me her honest opinions which I greatly appreciated. I felt so reassured that as a result I confidently agreed to have her cut off almost 4 inches of my hair!
Overall, I absolutely love my haircut I wouldn’t have it any other way plus I’ve received so many compliments! I’m confident rocking this new hair do and surprisingly to say, I can’t wait to cut my hair next here. You’ve definitely gained a regular customer. Thankyou Sam and the team you have made this experience unforgettable!
Sam has been amazing through the process of getting my hair back to health. Always giving me honest and caring advice.
I cannot thank her enough. I have confidence back!
You are a Rockstar Sam �
Came in feeling rather ordinary and walked out feeling nothing less than EXTRAordinary :)! Loved every minute from the great intro conversation to the lush head massage then to be seated with drinks and nibbles while you worked your magic topping it all off with a blow dry that lasted days lol!
WELL DONE and THANK YOU Christie Lee! Great space, fantastic talent!
Couldn't be happier! Thank you.
Love it xx :)
So here is what it comes down to; if you are looking for a place with a subtle yet modern ambience, fantastic customer service, and the best hair you will ever have, then you have found it.
Who knew having ones hair done could be an earthy and authentic experience?
This is a business which cares about their clientele without the need to be pretentious.
One of the most notable things about the salon, is its welcoming atmosphere and sense of spaciousness.
The staff are attentive, highly skilled, and able to listen.
Patricia worked miracles with my somewhat neglected and unkempt tresses.
Thank you so much for a great day.
