How to get Ultimate Results.
Dreamcoat is an amazing product but you need to use it correctly or you won’t achieve the results or even notice a difference.

First. What does it do ?

How to use correctly ?
You apply to damp hair (NOT Wet)
It is the last product you put in your hair before drying. Yes you can use with other products.
You HAVE TO blow dry it in with tension for it to work. Ironing afterwards ads to the effect but will NOT do without the correctly drying it in.

Now here is THE KEY element.
This was instructed and explained by ColorWow educators. It WILL NOT work correctly unless you use a “wooden bristle brush”
Why ?
As all our stylists are trained and already use this type of brush we’re achieving amazing results

You are wasting your time and money if you just blast dry or leave to dry naturally.
But remember you only have to blow dry in correctly every 4th shampoo.

We also have take home
DreamCoat + Wooden Bristle brush packages
+ as we stock the full ColorWow range you are able to experience the ColorWow Dream Regime service in salon.
The whole Dream Regime take home range will also be available as a package.

Oh WOW  Colour Correction. PINK HAIR

....and only 5 hours


So then the enquirIes roll in “how much”
So here’s an honest response “how are we meant to know how much “ ?

We cannot see your hair
We do not know its history
We do not know its condition
We do not know what has been on it
We don’t even know how thick or long it is


That’s basically describing a large % of most peoples hair yet they would all require different approaches once we had physically seen the hair.


These results always work best with realistic clients


This is because of the unknown factor of how well your hair lightens, and unless you’re already Platinium blonde it has to be lightened.
Virgin hair lightening is easier than if coloured but still takes a while

The biggest thing we hear a lot of is “my hair lightens easy so shouldn’t take long”
Lightening “easy” and lightening to level for a fashion colour like this are two different things.

Best advice

Yes we used Kaaral colour all the way from Italy with that coconut infused moisture.. and Olaplex
Then we used ExhairCare No Knots to detangle and treat followed by straightening cream + Diamond Drops™️
.....Finally we added the new Color WOW Dream coat....and OMG ... But this stuff walks off the shelf ....But it’s back in stock this week
We suggest you pre order. Just in case We feel its that popular it will be a while before supplier can keep up with demand

Blondes





Most would say they would need to tone ?

But that's experience, that's technique, that's not discarding but absorbing and learning. Everything

These results are time, precision and experience. These results are skill that is forever learning.

Booking foils...
STOP....Don’t do it.


A number of things may happen
1. You’ll only get one stage of your hair service done and have to come back for another appointment
2. Or due to appointment request not being what is actually required you will be left paying for a booking we cannot do
3. Or (not in our salon) you’ll get some half rushed technique approach to try and achieve a result. Without the stylist actually having the time to achieve it.


Tip
Explain your current hair state and then your desired hair state. That is what we will ask if we have never seen you before. This way we know how and what to book out.
Sometimes it may require a consultation in salon prior to being able to book. It definitely will if a colour correction or new Balayage etc.

Here the colour process was in two stages plus the haircut. A straight half head foils (most common request) would NOT achieve this.

Remember we don’t double book. We either have the time or we don’t

Like to see what we can do for YOU ?

Three main types we hear
1. Bad condition due to lack of care and styling without protection
2. Split ends
No 1. is the most common. Using hot tools and hairdryers with no thermal protection. Thinking a $1.99 generic shampoo will do the trick.

No 2. Comes in next. Now you do not see this with people that regularly maintain their hair, and yes cut it. The longer a hair strand goes without cutting the more fragile the hairs fibres ends become. Then they split.
So avoiding that 6 weekly cut to add 6 inches does not actually work. By the time you get that 6 inches you need 8 cut off... splits travel.

No 3. The hair fibre has been pushed too far. The process has caused the disulfide bonds to seperate. Completely and its too far gone. Partially and there is hope.
But all is NOT lost.
YOUR remedies

Depending in your hair condition and budget we have options. .... for more detailed information on our solutions just follow the link below

Firstly NOTHING will fix split ends. They have to be cut off and if not. You’ll never get rid of them.
But we do have solutions via services like Olaplex + LaBiosthetique PCC which can minimise splits by maintaining a healthier stronger hair strand.

These services will help with the other types of damage though. How long to fix and what ? All depends on what needs fixing.
These fixes are in salon services. NO Olaplex No 3 is not what we use in salon (refer to link for more info)

Most of the above problems can be avoided by using the right products in the first place when styling or colouring your hair. .... utilising services like Olaplex and PCC to enhance the hair is a great preventive to damaged hair

Re services at different price points.
Let us use this example.
Few years back a lady came to us with waist length hair she and a friend bleached at home. It was now a nice yellow tone (even though)
There was breakage all through the hair and some strands were like rubber bands.
She wanted us to now get it to white blonde. But we would ONLY cut the splits off and do a PCC repair service.
We know this would of stopped the breakage in its tracks. But the question was asked re PCC price and they did not want to pay that.
She left.

Hair repair
Olaplex 1+2 Professional and No 3
LaBiosthetique PCC ... Professional

Before and after performed in one appointment. Breakage stopped

But lets keep it simple here

Your hair becomes, dry, frizzy (damage induced frizz) and breaks when your disulfide bonds weaken or break. How does that happen ? Again go to blog link for more info re types of damage.

So how does Olaplex come into help ?

Olaplex 1 is either mixed into your colour to work while colour processing. Or can be applied on your hair seperataly if not having a colour. It starts to cause your disulfide bonds to strengthen. Olaplex no 2 is then applied to help lock in that repair process and condition the strands.
You then shampoo and condition afterwards.
Olaplex no 3 ? That is what you take home to help maintain the repair work No 1 + 2 did in the salon. Again it is PRE SHAMPOO + CONDITION


Some things to remember. Olaplex physically repairs hair. When you comment with a “no thanks i have at home” re an offer for Olaplex in salon. NO you don’t. Olaplex 3 is not what we use in salon. For starters ours is a clear brown liquid. No 3 is a white cream.
It is pre shampoo and NO there is nothing that fixes split ends.

La Biosthetique PCC
Now this little wonder ampule is amazing. It starts of doing a similar thing that Olaplex does re disulfide bond repair and is mixed and applied similar way. But it comes in glass ampules. Again it can be in colour or stand alone service.
BUT it causes another process that wraps a protective layer around the repair work so no take home required and up to 5x stronger.


So why both ?
They are different price points.
But where you could have Olaplex every week PCC is not recommended within a month of the last. Its too strong and would be a waste so soon.
On top of all this. Timing and personal choice. The more damage the stronger remedy. Plus some clients have a preference to the feel of the results at varying times of the year or hairs condition.

The pictures.
Most are the before and after using PCC during service. The pink hair has been a journey and this client will never have colour without.
We used PCC in these cases as the extreme. Check them out by following the link below

But remember regardless of hair condition. Utilising these services and products will cause the following
Less colour fade
Greater natural shine
Less breakage
Reduced split ends forming

Straightening like you’ve never seen before. Results you’ll never get anywhere else

Permanent Straightening is no simple quick process. Every week we see people that have had straightening elsewhere.

If YOU are looking for the BEST results and value YOUR hair. Then we’re YOUR only choice

If you are looking for a cheap deal and price is your focus ? We’re probably not your cup of tea, and we’re fine with that. We put too much time and focus in delivering results not to get paid for our work.

This before and after was actually a training session. Still perfect

Please note:
This service can only be booked in person on first visit and we always take a 50% deposit. For pricing follow the link and scroll down. Sorry we do not quote or consult on social media.
