Hair smoothing & curl treatments in London

Both reduce frizz, they just do it differently. If you want your hair sleeker and easier to blow-dry, Aura smoothing is the one. If you want to keep your natural curl and just remove the frizz and damage from it, Olaplex Bond Shaper™ is the better fit.

Not at the same time - they pull in opposite directions. If you've had smoothing and want to go back to wearing your natural texture, we'd wait for the smoothing to grow out or wash out before starting a curl-rebuilding course. Ask at your consultation.

No. Traditional keratin treatments often rely on formaldehyde and can leave hair stiff. Aura uses hyaluronic acid instead, and Bond Shaper™ is a bond-building system, not a straightener. Both are formaldehyde-free.

At Bond, from £70 for a 30-minute Aura Beauty hydrating treatment up to £368 for full-length Aura Excellence. Olaplex Bond Shaper™ is £180 including homecare products.

Book a consultation. We'll look at your curl pattern, how damaged the hair is, your colour history and how much styling time you're realistically willing to give it - then recommend from there.

Yes, both are safe on coloured and bleached hair, but we always consult first and may adjust the technique or recommend strengthening beforehand if hair is fragile.
