A question we sometimes ask.
Are you looking for the BEST price ? Or are you looking for the BEST results ?

What are you actually paying for ? What do YOU want to pay for ?

Correct procedure is 3 hours average. Professionally trained experienced stylist. Booked only with YOU. This ensures focus and best results. Attention to detail. That's our standard.

Lets explain....

So the $199 Myth
Less gst $18.09
Less product $100 (best quality)
Less labor = $110 (specialist. Very experienced)
Bal = ($19.09)

Getting the picture ? We haven’t even taken into account the cost to keep the doors open yet 🤦🏻

You’ll feel a difference, but nothing like our results. Its not APPLES with APPLES.... All keratin's are NOT the same.

So what if we use cheap poor quality products. Trainee labor and try and rush the service through in two hours ? Taking into account business running costs. The salon would be losing money.  .... and YOU would not be getting the best, longest lasting results possible.

We aim for quality long lasting results and repeat happy clients. We are the No1 Straightening + Smoothing salon in Perth. We literally do them every single day. We are the EXPERTS

In reality a $199 Keratin is a price, not a service, or a result. If you’re chasing that $199 Keratin thats fine. We’re not everyone's cup of tea and we’re ok with that.

If YOU want results. If YOU want service + the BEST possible outcome. Then that's us

The bitterness of poor results lasts a lot longer than the sweetness of a cheap price.

Apples with Apples

How would you respond if we were to say a BMW is the same as a Hyundai ? There both cars ? Whats the difference ?

Everyone knows there is a lot of difference because the majority of people are educated with that knowledge.



Most people when ringing around salons for a service are not comparing apples with apples. They are just comparing prices.
Which is generally apples with oranges.

Technique, product, experience and service are NOT the same in every salon.

As a salon you either set a price and build your services around that OR set a service and standard and build your price around that.

Our clients come to us for results.

The picture below is just a simple comparison of a single foil placement. The results will be completely different. But both “foils”.

Just the one on the left will give a lot better result. 🤗

You can take your balayage, your big colour corrections, your staged insta model pics and do as you will.
But THIS is hairdressing. This is more rewarding than anything else in hair.

After battling Breast Cancer and fighting back. To finally see your hair grow back and get your first real colour and cut. It is such a milestone in the treatment process.

Its an absolute pleasure for Caroline to look after this amazing lady from way before diagnosis. To removing the hair as chemo started to shaping + styling the wigs. To today when the hair is back..... and we are ready for our 1st colour + haircut

As Caroline is a Breast Cancer surviving hairdresser THIS is hairdressing

But lets talk Balayage > Lets get real

How long does it take ?
How longs the hair ?
How thicks the hair ?
Whats the last 5 year colour history ?
Have you had that “technique” done recently?
If you have are you needing the lighter tones lifted ? Because that requires breaking through the darker colour coming down.
Is your root colour natural or previously darker colour into light ?
Do you have colour on now ?
How many times have you had colour ?
What type of colour ?
What type of end result do you want as balayage is a technique ?

etc etc etc .....

How much does it cost ?
Refer to above questions...

Last week we did one that took 4 hours to do.
Today we did one that was 5 hours
This week we have another one that first session was 5 hours. Next session 5-6 hours and then we will assess where we are at then.
Some 2 hours.

It is not a one size fits all. It could only take an hour or two ? Actually when you see salons posting “Balayage $149”. Thats a little hand painted lightener brushed through to the ends. On virgin hair. A “balayage” technique most would not achieve THEIR results with.
Try getting that with dark brown hair and wanting a creamy baby light blonde flowing from your part.

Most Balayage results these days require corrective colour work during or prior the service. Either because of dark hair or worse dark colour. Most balayage applications are a progressive approach towards a goal that could take time.

If you would like a Balayage appointment with us we’d love to see you.....BUT only once we have had a physical pre consultation prior. Once that is done we are more than happy to look at booking a suitable time frame.  YOU will know what to expect both in results and cost, and we will have the right amount of time and technician to deliver that for YOU

We achieved the BRIGHTER RED
