Hair Care & Products
What makes Studio 15 a low-tox salon?
We carefully select products free from harsh chemicals like ammonia, parabens, and sulfates. We use KEVIN.MURPHY COLOR.ME which is PPD-free and ammonia-free, with naturally derived ingredients like aloe vera, honey, shea butter, and pomegranate.
What products do you use?
We primarily use Kevin Murphy and K18 professional products. Kevin Murphy COLOR.ME uses naturally derived ingredients and is PPD-free and ammonia-free. K18 provides molecular repair treatments for damaged hair.
What is Cezanne keratin smoothing?
Cezanne is a professional keratin smoothing treatment that is formaldehyde-free, paraben-free, sulphate-free, gluten-free, and phthalate-free. It smooths frizz and reduces styling time. Results last several months for the classic treatment, and results can last up to 6 weeks for the Cezanne Instant Frizz Eliminator.
What is the difference between Nanoplasty and Cezanne?
Nanoplasty is best suited to clients seeking a straighter, longer-lasting result with significant frizz and curl reduction, commonly lasting around 5–6 months. Cezanne is a smoothing treatment designed to soften frizz, improve manageability and reduce styling time while retaining more of the hair's natural movement. A consultation will help determine which treatment is most suitable for your hair and desired result.
