The finish is tailored to you, from sleek and polished to smooth with natural movement. Expect faster blow-dries, lasting shine and hair that stays controlled in humidity. ## What's Included A guided, step by step service that protects hair while delivering long lasting smoothness. - Personal consultation and strand assessment. - Purifying cleanse and preparation for even results. - Targeted application of a smoothing formula to suit your texture and desired finish. - Controlled processing with careful smoothing and refining techniques. - Neutralising step to lock in the new shape. - Hydration or bond-care treatment selected for your hair condition. - Precision blow-dry and finish to check movement and gloss. - Personalised aftercare plan and maintenance timeline. ### Who It's For Ideal for long hair that frizzes, poufs or loses shape in humidity. Suits wavy to moderately curly textures that need refinement without losing all movement. A good option if you want sleeker hair, reduced styling time and a polished look that lasts. If hair is very fragile or heavily lightened, we will assess suitability first. ### Duration & Appointment Timing For longer hair allow around 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on thickness and how smooth you want to go. Your stylist will confirm timing at consultation so you can plan your day. If you also want a cut or colour, we may stage services to protect condition and achieve your best result. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Follow the aftercare guidance provided in salon, including the advised period before your first wash or tying hair back. Use sulphate-free shampoo, smoothing conditioner and heat protection, and add a weekly hydrating mask. Rinse after swimming and limit high heat to help results last. Most clients return every 8 to 12 weeks for a top-up as natural texture and new growth appear.

Expect strong frizz reduction and a softer, controlled shape. The finish is tailored to you, from sleek to smooth with natural movement, depending on preference and hair type. How long do results last? Most clients enjoy results for 8 to 12 weeks. Longevity depends on texture, heat styling habits and the products you use at home. Will this damage my hair? This is a chemical service, so we assess condition carefully and tailor processing to minimise stress. It is not recommended for highly sensitised or very bleached hair; we may suggest strengthening first. Is it suitable for coloured or highlighted hair? Usually yes, provided the hair is in good condition. We plan timing around any colour work and may space services at least a week apart for best results. How long does the appointment take for long hair? Allow roughly 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on thickness and desired finish. Your exact timing is confirmed at consultation.
