Our Services
Wash Day
A full wash day using the Ruutos sulphate-free range. Includes a clarifying rinse, scalp cleanse, shampoo, steam deep conditioning treatment, and hand stretching or style of choice. Recommended every two to four weeks for healthy hair growth and sustained moisture retention.
Scalp Treatment
Our signature scalp treatment for dandruff, dryness, itchiness, and buildup. Uses the Ruff Control range and Hair Growth Serum with a steamer to allow active ingredients to penetrate deeply into the scalp. Recommended for anyone experiencing persistent flaking, irritation, or slow growth.
Protein Treatment
For severely damaged or breaking hair. Includes all wash day steps plus a targeted protein repair session using the Reconstruct range under steam for maximum absorption. Recommended for chemically treated, colour treated, fine, fragile, or heat damaged hair.
