Hair Treatments
Our WellaPlex and Kerasilk treatments repair damaged hair during chemical processes. These bond-building solutions strengthen hair structure while maintaining vibrant colour results. Clients receive professional advice on maintaining hair health between visits with retail options available for home care.
Color Packages
From regrowth touch-ups to full head balayage, our colour services use professional Wella products with added hair protection. Specialists handle complex corrections and creative colours while maintaining hair integrity through advanced formulation techniques.
CACI Treatments
Non-surgical CACI microcurrent facials lift and tone facial muscles using LED therapy. These treatments address fine lines, skin texture, and muscle laxity with options for targeted concerns like jowl lift or eye rejuvenation using advanced electro-stimulation technology.
