Treatments

hair treatments to fight frizzy, dry and brittle hair.

The crazy humidity in Singapore can cause your hair to become wavy or frizzy. To fight frizz it’s important to lock humidity out of your strands with a hydrating and smoothing product or treatment.

In addition, you hair can get damaged caused by environmental issues and chemical services such as coloring, bleaching, styling using flat irons and blow-dryers.

For Damaged Hair

Keratin

Keratin Treatments break down your hair’s natural structure, which is then rebuilt with a hot flat iron, making it straighter, but not dead straight and it is not permanent either. It fills in the porosity of your hair, as overly-porous hair causes tangles, frizz and breakage. Your hair is made up of the protein called “Keratin”, so the treatment involves putting the protein back into your hair, which is often lost due to age and chemical services.

Because it is essentially rebuilding the damaged areas, you can expect to see an increase in shine, less frizz and an easier styling process overall. During our free consultation our expert keratin stylists will explain step by step the entire process and the importance of the next 48 hours including the use of a proper dry shampoo.

FAQ

What is a keratin treatment, and how does it work?

A keratin treatment is a semi-permanent hair-smoothing treatment that infuses keratin—a natural protein found in hair—into the hair shaft to reduce frizz, add shine, and make hair more manageable. During the treatment, a keratin solution is applied to the hair, followed by a flat-iron sealing process to lock in the protein. This results in smoother, softer hair that’s easier to style and often lasts up to 3-5 months with proper care.

Will a keratin treatment damage my hair?

When done correctly by a trained professional, keratin treatments are generally safe and do not damage the hair. In fact, they can improve the look and feel of hair by reducing frizz and adding smoothness. However, it’s essential to use quality products and follow aftercare instructions, such as avoiding sulfate shampoos and limiting heat exposure, to maintain hair health and prolong the results.

How should I care for my hair after a keratin treatment?

After a keratin treatment, avoid washing your hair for 48 to 72 hours to allow the keratin to fully set. Once you begin washing, use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to prevent stripping the treatment from your hair. Limit heat styling, avoid saltwater and chlorine, and try to keep hair dry whenever possible to make the results last. It’s also recommended to sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and maintain smoothness.

Hair Smooting

NKST/CEZANNE

NKST/Cezanne hair smoothing treatments are meant to mostly or partially eliminate hair frizz and straighten curls and waves. They can be performed on all types of hair, whether natural or chemically treated (bleached, highlighted, colored, permed, relaxed or previously straightened).

FAQ

What is the difference between NKST and Cezanne smoothing treatments?

Both NKST and Cezanne treatments are smoothing treatments that reduce frizz and add shine, but they use different formulations. NKST is a keratin-based treatment that straightens and smooths the hair, often lasting up to 5 months, and is ideal for clients looking for intense smoothness and reduced curl. Cezanne, on the other hand, uses a unique blend of ingredients, including sericin (a silk protein), which smooths and defrizzes the hair without harsh chemicals. Cezanne offers a more natural, subtle smoothing effect and lasts around 3-4 months.

Is the Cezanne or NKST treatment safe for all hair types, and are they formaldehyde-free?

Yes, both treatments are safe for all hair types, from fine to coarse, and are formulated to be gentle on the hair. The Cezanne treatment is formaldehyde-free and uses safer ingredients, making it a great option for clients sensitive to strong chemicals or concerned about formaldehyde exposure. NKST treatments may contain trace amounts of formaldehyde, so clients with sensitivities may prefer Cezanne. Both treatments, however, are designed to be safe when applied by trained professionals.

Replenish Hair

TOKIO INKARAMI

Tokio Inkarami is the worlds first professional hair treatment to replenish lost keratins and interlock them using the patented technology “Inkarami”. Inkarami’s main objection is to restor damaged hair back to the original healthy hair, allowing hair to regain strength, silkiness, shine and moisture!

FAQ

What is Tokio Inkarami treatment, and how does it benefit my hair?

Tokio Inkarami is a luxury hair treatment from Japan known for its unique formula that deeply repairs and strengthens hair from within. It uses a patented technology that combines keratin with fullerene, a powerful antioxidant, to penetrate the hair and rebuild damaged areas. This treatment repairs damaged hair bonds, restores moisture, and leaves hair softer, shinier, and more resilient, making it ideal for hair that’s been exposed to heat, colouring, or environmental damage.

How long does the Tokio Inkarami treatment last, and how often should I get it done?

The results of the Tokio Inkarami treatment can last up to 4 weeks, depending on your hair type and maintenance routine. To maintain optimal hair health and results, many clients opt to receive the treatment once a month. Regular treatments build up the hair’s internal structure, enhancing strength and elasticity over time.

How should I care for my hair after a Tokio Inkarami treatment?

To prolong the effects of the Tokio Inkarami treatment, use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and a hydrating conditioner. Avoid washing your hair too frequently, as this can strip the treatment from your hair. Using the Tokio IE Inkarami home-care line, if available, can help maintain the salon-quality results at home by replenishing the keratin and moisture. Minimizing heat styling and protecting hair from sun, chlorine, and saltwater will also help keep your hair looking smooth and healthy.

Hair Repair

OLAPLEX

Olaplex is a bond multiplier that repairs and reconnects broken disulfide bonds in your hair. These bonds are broken through chemical, thermal and mechanical damage. Is your colour fading too fast? Do you want to completely change your hair colour but are afraid of the damage/breakage it may cause? Would you like healthy, shiny, gorgeous hair? If so you need Olaplex.

Olaplex is an add-on service or stand alone treatment service. Depending on your hair goals, Olaplex can either be added into your colour service, performed as a reparative treatment or both. This well be determined during consultation.

FAQ

What is Olaplex, and how does it work?

How often should I use Olaplex, and is it safe for all hair types?

Olaplex treatments are safe for all hair types, including curly, fine, and chemically treated hair. In-salon Olaplex treatments are typically recommended once a month, but for at-home products like Olaplex No. 3, once a week is often enough for maintenance. The frequency may vary depending on your hair’s condition and specific needs.

Can I use Olaplex at home, and how does it differ from the in-salon treatment?

Yes, Olaplex offers a range of at-home products that complement the in-salon treatment. Olaplex No. 3 is a popular at-home treatment that continues the bond-repairing benefits between salon visits, while products like Olaplex No. 4 (Shampoo) and No. 5 (Conditioner) provide daily care. The in-salon treatment, however, is a more concentrated formula that provides a deeper, professional-level repair and is ideal for starting the restoration process.
