Hair care
Most damage is done between appointments
Hair does not recover on its own; it grows out. What you do at home decides how much of the salon's work survives to the next visit.
What this answers
Washing frequency, water temperature, how hair is dried, what a heat protectant actually does and when it does nothing — these decide more than any single treatment. This subject also covers living with extensions and how to tell a scalp problem from a hair problem, because the two are treated differently and one of them is not our work at all.

- Why Professional Hair Diagnosis Matters
What is looked at, felt and tested on your hair before any treatment is named — scalp, ends, wet strand, chemical history — and why naming comes last.
- Why Hair Becomes Frizzy
Frizz is a symptom, not a hair type. The four things that cause it, and what each treatment can and cannot do about it.
- Why Hair Becomes Dry
Dry hair is a supply problem, not a hair type: where the oils go, why the ends run out first, and what each treatment can honestly do.
- What Causes Hair Breakage
Hair that snaps mid-length is breaking, not falling. How to tell the two apart, and why weight is the wrong answer for breakage.
- How to Prevent Split Ends
A split cannot be mended, only removed. What splits an end, how the damage is read at the chair, and the trim interval that costs least length.
- Heat-Damaged Hair
What an iron does inside the shaft, how heat damage is told apart from dryness, and what recovery honestly means when the change is permanent.
- Colour-Damaged Hair
What lightening costs the hair shaft, why overlap concentrates the damage, and the order that rebuilds strength before it changes shade.
Where this is practised
- All hair treatments at the salon
Nine services, what each is actually for, and how the choice between them is made.
- Hair spa
Scalp and conditioning work, taken as a course — the maintenance the chemical services rely on.
- Hair extensions
Added length and density, matched in daylight and fitted to what your scalp can carry.
