ALL THE KERATIN HAIR TREATMENT INFO
WE CAN GIVE YOU WITHOUT SEEING YOU IN PERSON!

Know What You're Asking For

Battling frizz?
We get it. Everyone’s probably told you to “just get a keratin treatment,” like it’s some magical cure-all. But here’s the truth: not all keratin treatments are created equal, and what works for your bestie might not work for you.
Let’s break down what you actually need to know.

Book a service

Permanent Straightening

Our permanent solution delivers lasting results through advanced chemical processing, ideal for those seeking consistently straight hair with minimal daily maintenance.

Keratin smoothing
treatments

A long lasting (but temporary) yet effective option that reduces frizz and smooths your natural texture while maintaining movement and versatility in your style.

HERE’S THE TEA: You can’t mix and match these treatments. They’re like exes – they don’t play nice together. Trying to do both is asking for a hair disaster of epic proportions.

You Have To Be Okay
WITH SOME SACRIFICIES

Let’s be real – beauty sometimes comes with a price tag of patience. 
There’s some downtime involved, and yes, your hair colour might need
 a little adjustment afterward. Think of it as your hair going through
a mini metamorphosis:

  • Your colour might shift slightly (blame it on the clarifying shampoo and heat)
  • You’ll need to keep your hair as straight as your coffee order for a few days
  • Your stylist might need to adjust the heat settings, which could mean a longer appointment

What Are The Advantages Of Getting
A KERATIN TREATMENT

Picture this: waking up every morning with hair that actually behaves.
No more wrestling with your straightener or cursing the humidity.
Here’s what you’re getting:

  • Hair that’s smoother than a perfectly aged whiskey
  • Styling time cut in half (hello, extra sleep), but you do need to blast your hair with a dryer or preen with tongs because the treatment needs heat, like your best relationships.
  • Results that last longer than your last relationship
  • Stronger, healthier hair that looks expensive and effortless
  • A treatment that’s customisable to your hair type

Accept That Results
MAY VARY

Here’s the unvarnished truth: keratin treatments aren’t one-size-fits-all.
Your results will be as unique as your coffee order, depending on:

  • The treatment strength (we use Kerasilk because it’s customisable and doesn’t contain nasty chemicals)
  • Your hair’s natural personality
  • How the treatment is applied
  • There are quite a few other factors that we can’t control, but if you want the treatment to last, please follow our advice.

Can You Get A Keratin Treatment
ON COLOUR TREATED HAIR?

Picture this: waking up every morning with hair that actually behaves in less than half the time with a blast blowdry or a few passes of your iron.
No more top knot short cuts or cursing the humidity. Here’s what you’re getting:

  • Hair that’s smoother than a perfectly aged whiskey
  • Styling time cut in half (hello, extra sleep)
  • Results that last longer than your last relationship
  • Stronger, healthier hair that looks expensive
  • A treatment lasts for at least 3 months with top ups lasting longer with proper care – hopefully not your current relationship

Does keratin treatment
DAMAGE HAIR?

Short answer: No.
Long answer: No, but let’s be smart about it.
Here’s the game plan:

  • Wait two weeks between colouring and keratin (good things come to those who wait)
  • Use the right products (we’ll hook you up)
  • Keep it sulfate-free (your hair will thank you)
  • Swimming will reduce the life of your treatment so you might need more frequent top ups in summer
  • Blondes might need a toner touch-up after (it’s like a filter for your hair)
  • We customise your keratin treatment to your hair type

Frequently Asked Questions About Keratin Hair Smoothing Treatments

Our signature technique combines premium keratin formulations with meticulous application methods developed through years of specialised training. We customise each treatment to your specific hair texture and concerns, ensuring exceptional results that outlast standard treatments available elsewhere.

No. Unlike many chemical straightening processes, our Keratin Treatments actually improve your hair’s health. The keratin protein strengthens damaged areas, reduces breakage and adds remarkable shine. Our treatments are designed to enhance your hair’s condition with each application, leaving it more resilient and lustrous than before.

Our Keratin Treatment will significantly reduce frizz and increase manageability, but it won’t completely straighten very curly hair. You’ll retain some of your natural texture while enjoying smoother, more defined curls that are much easier to style. For poker-straight results, our Permanent Straightening service would be more suitable.

For optimal results, we recommend waiting 72 hours before washing. This allows the keratin to fully bond with your hair. During this time, keep your hair dry and avoid tucking it behind your ears, using hair accessories or anything that might create a crease.

Our treatments actually help preserve colour and can enhance vibrancy. We recommend having colour services 1-2 weeks before your Keratin Treatment for the best results. The treatment seals the cuticle, which helps prevent colour fade and maintain brilliance.

Most Keratin Treatments take 2-3 hours depending on your hair length, thickness and texture. We recommend booking a consultation first where we can assess your specific needs and provide an accurate time estimate.

We recommend using our professional sulphate-free, sodium chloride-free shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for treated hair. These products help extend the life of your treatment and maintain that salon-fresh smoothness. We’ll create a personalised home care regimen during your appointment.

Yes. We offer different formulations to suit various hair types from fine to coarse, damaged to virgin. During your consultation, we’ll determine which specific treatment will deliver the best results for your unique hair condition and desired outcome.

For optimal results, we recommend treatments every 3-4 months. Many clients find that with regular treatments, their hair becomes progressively healthier and more manageable, often allowing for longer intervals between sessions.

We specialise in premium Keratin Treatments rather than Brazilian Blowouts. Our Keratin formulations deliver similar smoothing benefits but with enhanced conditioning properties and without some of the harsh chemicals found in traditional Brazilian treatments. This results in healthier hair with beautiful, long-lasting results.
