FAQs

What is the difference between a haircut and a hair trim?

A haircut involves reshaping your hair’s length and style, while a trim typically involves cutting off just the split ends to maintain the current style.

How often should I get a haircut?

The frequency depends on your hair type and desired style. On average, getting a haircut every 6-8 weeks is recommended to maintain healthy hair growth and style.

Will colouring my hair damage it?

While colouring can cause some damage, modern hair colouring techniques and products are designed to minimise it. It’s essential to use quality products and follow proper care routines to keep your hair healthy.

What is the difference between ammonia and non-ammonia hair colour?

Ammonia-based hair colour opens the hair cuticle to deposit colour, while non-ammonia colour uses alternative agents that are gentler on the hair. Non-ammonia colour is often preferred for sensitive scalps and damaged hair.

How long does a perm last?

The duration of a perm varies depending on your hair type and maintenance routine. Typically, perms last 2 to 6 months before the curls gradually loosen and revert to their natural state.

Is hair rebonding suitable for all hair types?

Hair rebonding works best on naturally curly or wavy hair. It may be unsuitable for highly damaged or heavily processed hair, as the chemical treatment can further weaken its structure.

How often should I undergo a hair treatment?

The frequency of hair treatments depends on your hair’s condition and needs. Generally, it’s beneficial to incorporate a treatment into your hair care routine once a week or as your stylist recommends.

Can I wash my hair immediately after a hair treatment?

It’s advisable to wait at least 24-48 hours after a hair treatment before washing it. This allows the treatment to penetrate and provide optimal results.

How can I maintain my hair colour between salon visits?

Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner to maintain your hair colour, avoid excessive heat styling, and minimise sun exposure. Touch up roots as needed with root touch-up products or schedule regular salon appointments for touch-ups.

Are there any side effects of hair treatments?

While hair treatments generally have minimal side effects, some may experience scalp irritation or allergic reactions. It’s essential to perform a patch test before applying any new product and consult a professional stylist for personalised recommendations.
