Would rather talk it through?
for appointment (09) 836 4596Nanoplasty is the strongest smoothing treatment we do, and the one that genuinely straightens. If you would rather keep some movement, we have two gentler options.
Nanoplasty is the strongest of the three and the only one that genuinely straightens. Keratin sits in the middle, hair Botox is the gentlest. All three are formaldehyde free.
Final quote is given at your consultation, since length and thickness change the product we use.

“Wow I have found an amazing salon that caters for neurodiverse clients. I had my daughter's hair cut there today and for the first time she was super happy, they have a private room which is perfect.”
“This is my second time visiting Rose at Protégé Hair Design, and once again, I had a wonderful experience. The first time I came in, Rose kindly scheduled me after 5pm to accommodate my need for privacy as a hijabi.”
“I have naturally curly hair which can be a little more challenging to cut and maintain. I've gone from long hair to short hair and have been going to Rose for over 7 years for cutting and colouring.”
“I had a hair cut and colour correction with Cinthia in May, 2026. Cinthia is an incredibly talented, experienced hairdresser!!”

“Friendly, clean and professional salon. Welcoming staff and excellent customer service.”
A keratin treatment takes hours, and not everyone wants to spend them on display in the middle of a salon. Christine keeps a private room for anyone who would rather not, whether that is a big change, thinning hair, or simply a quiet afternoon.
