Hair straightening and perms in Nerja
Adding or removing shape from hair involves a chemical change, so it requires an assessment. Before any straightening treatment or perm, we assess your hair’s elasticity, porosity and colouring history to choose the right product and processing time.
Your hair, your style
A service tailored to you
The aim is not stiff hair or artificial-looking curls: we want a natural result that reduces your blow-drying time each morning.

Your appointment
A controlled, section-by-section technique, with a prior assessment of the condition of the hair fibre.
Hair assessment
We check elasticity, porosity and previous colouring to decide whether your hair is suitable for the treatment.
Preparation
We wash your hair with a cuticle-opening shampoo and dry it to prepare the hair fibre for the active ingredient.
Application and sealing
We apply the product section by section and seal it with controlled heat at a temperature your hair can tolerate.
Results and aftercare
We style the finished result and advise you on products and care timings to help it last as long as possible.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions about this service, your appointment and caring for your hair.
How long does keratin straightening last?
+
Between three and five months, depending on your hair type and the products you use at home. Sulphate-free shampoo noticeably prolongs the effect.
Does straightening leave hair completely straight?
+
It depends on the type of straightening treatment. Keratin reduces frizz and volume while retaining movement; progressive straightening gives a straighter finish.
Can I colour my hair if I have a straightening treatment?
+
Yes, but it is best to colour your hair before straightening or wait around two weeks afterwards. We plan this with you at your appointment.
How long does the appointment take?
+
Between two and three hours, depending on the length and thickness of your hair.
Does a perm damage hair?
+
No, provided it is carried out following a proper assessment and with suitable processing times. If your hair is very fragile, we recommend a repair plan first.
When can I wash my hair afterwards?
+
For keratin straightening, we recommend waiting between 48 and 72 hours; for a perm, 48 hours.
What is the difference between a keratin treatment and a progressive straightening?
+
Keratin reduces frizz and volume while keeping movement; progressive straightening gives a straighter, longer-lasting result. We choose one or the other according to your hair, routine and the result you want.
Can I have a straightening treatment if I have highlights or bleached hair?
+
In many cases yes, but first we check your hair's elasticity and porosity. If the fibre is very sensitised, we suggest a repair treatment first so its condition is not compromised.
How do I look after my straightening in summer, with sea and pool water?
+
Use a sulphate-free shampoo, rinse your hair with fresh water after swimming and apply a hair protector. Salt and chlorine shorten the result, so it is best to plan maintenance before summer.
