What is the difference between the Global Keratin Treatment and the Keratin Deep Conditioning Treatment?

The Global Keratin Treatment is a full smoothing service that significantly reduces frizz and delivers a sleek, manageable texture for an extended period. It suits clients dealing with persistent frizz or coarse, hard-to-manage hair. The Keratin Deep Conditioning Treatment is a lighter option focused on moisture restoration and strengthening the hair shaft. It is a great choice if your hair needs a serious hydration boost without the full smoothing effect. Our team will help you decide which one suits your hair type and goals at your appointment.

Is MK Botox a medical treatment, and is it safe?

MK Botox is not a medical treatment and has no connection to facial injectables. At Illum Salon & Spa, it is strictly a restorative haircare service. It works by infusing the hair with proteins and nutrients that fill in damage along the hair shaft, improving strength, shine, and smoothness. It is a safe, non-invasive treatment performed by experienced professionals. If you have questions about whether it is right for your hair type, we are happy to walk you through the details before you commit to anything.

How long do keratin treatments typically last?

Results vary depending on your hair type, how often you wash your hair, and the products you use at home. In general, a Global Keratin Treatment can last several months with proper care. Using sulfate-free shampoos and the right maintenance products, such as those from Purology, can help extend your results. Our team will give you specific aftercare guidance based on the treatment you receive so you get the most out of your investment.

Can I get a hair treatment if my hair has already been chemically processed?

Yes, in many cases these treatments are specifically designed to help hair that has been through chemical services like colouring, highlighting, or relaxing. That said, the condition of your hair at the time of your appointment matters. Our stylists will assess your hair before proceeding to make sure the treatment is appropriate and will deliver the best possible outcome. If your hair needs a different approach first, we will be upfront about that and recommend the right path forward.

How should I prepare for a hair treatment appointment?

For most treatments, it helps to arrive with clean, dry hair unless we advise otherwise when you book. Avoid applying heavy styling products before your appointment. If you have any known sensitivities or have had reactions to hair products in the past, let us know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly. We recommend booking a consultation if you are unsure which treatment is right for you, especially if you are coming in for the first time or have a complex hair history.

Do you carry professional products to help maintain results at home?

Yes. We use and recommend professional-grade products including Purology and L'Oreal to support your hair health between visits. After your treatment, our team will suggest specific products suited to your hair type and the service you received. Using the right shampoo, conditioner, and finishing products at home is one of the most effective ways to protect your investment and keep your hair looking and feeling great until your next appointment.

Hair Treatments Cambridge: Keratin

At Illum Salon & Spa, we believe healthy hair is the foundation of every great style. Our professional hair care treatments are not one-size-fits-all. Before we recommend anything, we take the time to understand your hair's history, your goals, and what it actually needs. Whether you are dealing with damage from over-processing, persistent frizz, or hair that has lost its bounce and shine, we have targeted solutions that address the root of the problem. Backed by over 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, our team brings both the knowledge and the technique to deliver results you can see and feel.

Our most requested hair repair services focus on restoring what daily wear and styling take away. The Global Keratin Treatment is ideal for clients who want long-lasting frizz control and a noticeably smoother texture. For a lighter commitment, our Keratin Deep Conditioning Treatment offers an intensive moisture boost that strengthens the hair shaft and adds softness without the extended processing time. We also offer MK Botox, an advanced hair smoothing treatment that rejuvenates and strengthens hair from within. It is important to note that MK Botox is strictly a restorative haircare service and has nothing to do with medical injectables. All three treatments are available at our West Galt salon, and our team will help you choose the right one based on your hair type and lifestyle.

Healthy hair holds colour better, styles more easily, and simply looks better day to day. Investing in a quality deep conditioning treatment or smoothing service in Cambridge is not just about the day you leave the salon. It is about how your hair performs for weeks afterward.
