Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect when booking hair straightening and smoothing?
We begin with a consultation to understand your hair goals, current condition, and how you like to wear it day to day. Your stylist will talk you through what is realistic for your hair type and the maintenance involved. You will leave with a smoother finish and a simple plan for keeping it that way.
Who are these treatments best suited for?
This category is ideal if you want frizz control, easier styling, and a sleeker overall shape without daily effort. It suits many hair types, but the best option depends on your hair’s condition and previous chemical history. If you are unsure, book in and we will guide you.
How long will the results last?
Longevity varies by hair type, how often you wash, and your home care routine. In general, you can expect the smoother, more manageable feel to last for weeks rather than days. We will set expectations clearly during your consultation.
Will hair straightening and smoothing damage my hair?
Any chemical or heat based service needs a careful, condition first approach. We assess the hair before we start and will recommend the safest route for maintaining strength and shine. If your hair is compromised, we may suggest adjusting the plan to protect condition.
How should I care for my hair afterwards?
Keep your routine gentle and focus on moisture, especially if you use heat tools. Using suitable shampoo and conditioner, minimising high heat, and following the aftercare advice you are given will help results last longer. We will recommend an easy routine that fits your schedule.
