Three ways we smooth hair

Keratin or nanoplasty?

The short version: keratin calms your hair down and keeps the shape it already has. Nanoplasty straightens it.

“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.”

You can have the room to yourself

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.

Frequently asked questions

Will my hair end up dead straight?

Only if you want it that way. Keratin takes the frizz out and softens the curl, but you keep your movement. Nanoplasty is the one that straightens. Tell us which you are after and we will point you at the right treatment.

Is it formaldehyde-free?

The NANOKARE nanoplasty system is formaldehyde-free. Christine to confirm the position on the two keratin products before this goes live.

Why is the price a "from" price?

Because long, thick hair takes more product and more time than short, fine hair. We give you a firm quote at your consultation before anything starts, so there are no surprises at the counter.

How long will I be in the chair?

Add real appointment lengths for each treatment.

Can I have it if my hair is coloured or bleached?

Christine to answer. This is one of the most common questions and it belongs on the page.

What do I need to do afterwards?

Add aftercare: washing wait time if any, sulphate-free products, tying hair up, swimming.
