More information

What's Included

Everything is tailored to your hair type and desired finish.

  • Personal consultation and hair/strand assessment where needed.
  • Purifying cleanse and prep for even, predictable results.
  • Precision application of a professional smoothing system, calibrated for short hair.
  • Controlled processing and neutralising to set long-lasting smoothness.
  • Rinse, blow-dry and refined finish to showcase the result.
  • Aftercare advice and a personalised maintenance plan.

Who It's For

Ideal for bobs, crops and above-shoulder hair that frizzes, puffs or feels coarse. It is also a great option for grey hair that can feel wiry, and for waves that expand in humidity.

Choose this service if you want a sleeker look without losing movement. It suits busy routines, frequent travellers and anyone who wants consistency between salon visits.

Duration & Appointment Timing

For shorter hair, appointments usually take 2-3 hours, depending on density, texture and the finish you prefer. Timing is confirmed at consultation so you can plan your day.

If you also have colour services, we will advise the best sequence. Many clients colour before smoothing or at a separate visit for optimum condition.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Care with sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner, add a weekly hydrating mask, and always use heat protection before styling. Gently towel-dry and minimise very high heat.

Results typically last 8-12 weeks, varying by hair type and homecare. Book a top-up when your natural texture returns or new growth is noticeable, and keep regular trims to maintain a sharp outline.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Extenso Smooth do for shorter hair?
It relaxes frizz and softens curl to create a smoother, sleeker finish on above-shoulder styles. The result is glossier hair with reduced bulk and easier day-to-day styling.
How long will the results last?
Most clients enjoy smoother hair for 8-12 weeks, depending on texture, lifestyle and aftercare. New growth appears with your natural pattern, so timing of top-ups is personalised.
Will my hair look flat or lose shape?
No. The service can be tuned to keep movement and lift while controlling frizz. We respect your cut and sculpt the finish so your style still looks like you, just sleeker.
Is it suitable for coloured or highlighted hair?
Usually yes, with adjusted strength and timing. Very lightened or fragile hair may need strengthening first, and a strand test is recommended to confirm suitability.
What aftercare products should I use?
Use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner, a weekly hydrating mask and a heat protectant. Rinse after swimming, limit high heat, and follow the maintenance plan your stylist provides.
