We colour, cut and smooth hair using professional organic products made without ammonia, resorcinol, PPD or formaldehyde. Your hair comes out stronger than it went in, and there are no fumes in the room while it happens.
Hi, I’m Olga, founder and lead stylist.
I opened this salon so I could work the way I wanted to work. I do every nanoplasty treatment here myself, and my approach starts with listening — your lifestyle and your routine decide what will actually work once you leave.
I care about choosing shades that suit your natural undertones, restoring shine and strength, and cutting a shape that grows out well rather than one that needs fixing in six weeks. If a treatment is not right for your hair, I will tell you and suggest what is.
Most of all I want you to leave feeling confident, cared for and seen.
I was 26 when I first learned I had cancer. Surgery, radiation, medication and more surgery followed over the next few years. It is no surprise that I started thinking hard about what I ate, what I put on my skin, and what I breathed all day as a hairdresser.
Colour, straightening products and smoothing treatments were the tools of my trade, and I began asking what was actually in them.
Formaldehyde is used in some smoothing products, and exposure to it is a recognised occupational health question for hairdressers, who breathe it appointment after appointment rather than once. When my own hair started falling out, the question stopped being abstract.
So I went looking for another way to do the job. I wanted colour and smoothing that performed as well as what I had been trained on, made without ammonia and without formaldehyde, and good enough to stand over every day — for the person in the chair and for the person holding the brush. That search took years, and most of what I tried did not hold up.
I found what I was looking for in ZenzTherapy, a professional organic range made without ammonia, resorcinol or PPD, and I have now worked with it for eleven years. The same search turned up nanoplasty, an organic, formaldehyde-free smoothing treatment that repairs the hair from the inside rather than coating it. It has become the treatment we are best known for.
The choice I made for my own health is the same one my clients get by default. Most people never think to ask what is in the bottle, and here they do not have to.
We stock Arganmidas, a Moroccan argan oil range of shampoos, conditioners, masks and serums.
The shampoos and conditioners are sulphate-free and paraben-free, and sulphates are exactly what strip a smoothing treatment out of your hair fastest.
The argan oil, keratin and vitamin E in them put back what heat styling and colour take out.
