Frequently Asked Questions

How long do results last?
Most guests enjoy smooth results for up to three months, depending on hair type and care. Using sulphate-free products and limiting salt and chlorine helps longevity.
Will it make my hair flat?
No. We tailor the formula and heat passes to keep natural movement while reducing frizz. Ask for root lift if you like extra volume.
Is it safe for coloured hair?
Yes, it suits most coloured or highlighted hair. We assess condition first and refine the application to protect integrity and shine.
How soon can I wash my hair?
Follow your stylist's guidance, typically 24 to 48 hours depending on the formula used. Avoid tight bands or moisture in that period to prevent creases.
Will it straighten my hair?
It is a smoothing service, not a permanent straightener. Results range from softer curls with less frizz to a sleek finish after blowdrying.
