Keratin is not a treatment.
It’s a general word for all smoothing. One salon’s does nothing. The next leaves you poker straight.
Tell me the result. I choose the chemistry.

What to expect
You bring the brief. Choosing the chemistry is my job.
- 1Keratin is not a treatment.
- 2I’ve given up selling conditioning treatments in London.
- 3I choose the chemistry, not you.
- 4The hands and the knowledge matter more than the product — in the salon and at home alike.
- 5Sometimes the answer is no.
- 6Nothing is 100% — and “repair” is coating, not healing.
- 7The first visit, I work slightly under.
- 8The price is the price.
- 9“Organic” straightening and perming is a sales word.
Before anyone touches your hair
- Box dye, bleach, last year's keratin: it all counts. Tell me.
- Cheap smoothing is where most of my correction work starts.
- If it's a no, you hear it from me, before you pay a penny.
Don't cook your hair.
Ask me anything about texture. Go on.
