Ionics
Question
Question: I’ve recently had the ionic hair straightening and after just 3 weeks it appeared that my roots were growing- it wasnt the case- as my hair does not grow this fast. I have soft afro hair-though not as course as African hair, I had to have 2 treatments. It appears that the woman who did my hair didnt leave the nutraliser on for long enough ( even though ive had 2 treatments). My roots are showing and its ruinung the effect of the treatment. Is it worth having this treatment again, or d you think it was just the lady who did my hair.
Answer
After three weeks you would see abit of re-growth. Did you have the treatment done with us?

The hair doesnt grow back differently it will still be very curly wen it does come back . We can not give an exact length of time on when the hair will be fully curly again as it depends on the level your hair grows at. thanks

Extensions
Question
Can I get hair extention if I have had my hair chemically(Japanese) striaghtened? What is the best type of extentions to get? Will they also come straighted?

yes you can have sown in extensions but i will explain that when the weave grows out your hair that comes through will be curly as it would be without extensions.

Question
Hi, I have very long (almost down to my waist), thick, frizzy hair which I would love to have straightened. I have coloured my hair and also tried a perm (to make the curls more uniform, BIG mistake) so my hair is fairly damaged. Would it still be possible to have it straigtened? Also, would you be able to tell me about how much it will cost? Thank you.
Answer
i suggest that you came in so we could take a sample of your hair, if it is too weak then we would suggest buying some kerestase products for weakend hair to rebuild the condition of your hair. by this time your hair should be in good enough condition to have the ionics straighening process , this starts from around £350 depending on the length of your hair.

We would need you to come in for a full consultation but a very rough estimate the colour would be around £100.

Ionics
Question
Hi, I am thinking of getting my hair permantely straightened as i need to wash, blow dry and straighten my hair every morning. I am just woundering if the hair straigntening service you offer is similar or the same as a permanent relaxer. If i decided to go ahead, could i wash my hair and leave it to dry and have straight, none-frizzy, silky hair? My hair at the moment is dry on the very ends and in ok condition (as i blow dry and straighten my hair every day). I use heat protecion spray etc so i do try to prevent damage from heat. My hair length is just above my bra strap and is thick and frizzy after i have blow dryed but fine and sleek when i have straightened it. My hair is wavy – curly-ish and kinky.I am just hoping for an easier life really with my hair and just woundering if you think this would work. Please help! Or and how much does the service cost? Many Thanks Estelle Aston
Answer
You would be better coming in for a consultation with one of our stylists but the treatment would cost around £400. This treatment isnt like any relaxer. A relaxer just makes the curl looser and not as tight but this treatment removes the curl. If your hair is in ok condition then it will be fine to go ahead with the process.
Perming
Question
Hiya, i would like permanantly curly hair (loose curls). My hair is quite long, how much would this cost and would it cause a lot of damage? Thanks A x
Answer
Its a little bit hard to say without seeing your hair but shoulder lengh hair would be £67 with a cut and blo. You would be better to come into the salon for a full consultation with one of our stylists.

Damaged Hair
Question
I HAVE VERY DAMAGED HAIR FROM USING GHDS, CAN IONIC STRAIGHTENING STILL BE DONE
Answer
If we think your hair would only need a conditioning treatment and a trim to make it in better condition then we would most probably be able to do it. If your hair is chemically damaged then we mightent be able to. We would reccomend you to come into the salon for a full consultation with one of our stylists.

Colour change
Question
Hi, Am really unhappy with my hair, it’s blue black and I’m fed up of it and would love it to be a nice frosted brown colour. It’s horrible and curly as well. Is there anything at all that can be done??? Have tried quite a few salons and they say nothing can be done. Many Thanks Jenny.
Answer
It would be best if we had a consultation with you in person to talk about your colour, but if there isnt too much build up of colour, we would be able to strip your hair to a browny colour.
About the curls the only thing we could reccomend is ionic hair straigtening. it lasts about a year and it costs around £300-£400 depending on the lengh of your hair.

Question
Hi, I recentley lost all my hair from being ill, and it has just started to grow back. It is currentley at varying lengths at around an inch. How long will it have to be to have extentions applied and what type of extentions would be appropriate?

Normally we wouldnt reccomend extensions when you have hair loss. Your hair will be weak and the tension from the extensions might cause it to come out again. If you need any more information, do not hesitate to call the shop (01695721414) to speak to one of our experts.

Curly Hair
Question
My 14 year old grandson has extremely curly hair and for the past 6 months he has been trying to grow it. As you can imagine this has resulted in his hair just getting bigger ( and more afro like ) than longer and more wavy than curly that he hoped for. He has tried lots of products to help with very little benefit. At the moment his dad thinks he looks like a 70’s footballer !! My grandson doesn’t want straight hair just less curly. Any suggestions ? Help please.

The only thing we suggest is too have your hair relaxed, which is basically the opposite to a perm. Depending on how curly the hair is will depend how much it relaxes. We would normally charge about £40.

Question
I have very stubborn frizzy hair that sometimes even GHD’s fail to get totally straight. It is thick hair that is highlighted. I am ethnically white but even my friend with afro hair manages to get her hair straighter than me. I have paid in the past for my hair to be permanantly straightened and it didn’t make any difference at all not even a little bit. If I visit your salon is your straightening guaranteed in case it does not work for me as many a different salon have been perplexed by my unruly hair for years.?
Answer
In reply to your Question, we wouldn’t normally do the ionic treatment on hilighted hair as it may damage the hair, but if you would like to send us a piece of your hair we would test it for you. If you send it with your phone number we will get back to you as soon as we have tested it.

Question
I am mixed race and hae been using a cream relaxer on my hair since i was about 11, i am now 28 and still have my roots straightened every 3-4 months as well as using my ghd straighteners every time i wash my hair. I am interested in finding out if ionic straightening would work for my hair and are there any down sides to it. My hair is already quite damaged from the use of relaxers and i dont want to be bald by the time im 30. my e-mail is aaliyahtai@yahoo.co.uk i look forward to your response.
Answer
Ionics hair straightner is a permanant treatment we would recomend it to be done aprox every 6 months. Once you have had the treatment you wouldn’d have to use GHD’s.
The only thing i’d say is it is a chemical treatment so like any colours or perms they may leave hair a little dry so we would recomend a course of specialist treatments for after use. You are welcome to send a strand of hair for testing to 39 the concourse, Skelmersdale,WN8 6LJ.

product to use with straightners
Question
I am a male, and i use hair straigtners on a regular basis. i create a spiky messy look, and the straigtners help to hold my hair in place, thin it out and give the spiky look. however i need a product that i can actually use with straightners (if there is one) that will hold the hair ie wax or clay. do you have any recomendations? thanks

The only products that can be used with the straightners are heat protection products eg ghd protection spray or flat iron spray. Then when you have finished with the straightners you can then apply wax or clay as a finishing product.
