K18 Treatment

starting from £20

The K18 Treatment begins with a deep cleanse to remove buildup, followed by the application of the K18 formula, which works to repair broken bonds within the hair. The treatment penetrates the hair shaft, restoring strength and elasticity while smoothing the cuticles. After processing, your hair is left feeling silky, smooth, and deeply nourished with reduced frizz and improved texture. Perfect for those seeking to restore health to damaged hair, K18 Treatment offers long-lasting results, making hair more manageable and vibrant.

A K18 Treatment is a revolutionary hair repair service that works on a molecular level to reverse damage caused by chemical services, heat styling, and environmental stress. Unlike traditional conditioning treatments that coat the hair, the K18 Peptide penetrates the hair shaft to reconnect broken keratin chains—restoring strength, softness, and elasticity. At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, we use K18 to bring hair back to its healthiest state, making it ideal after bleaching, colouring, or straightening. It takes just 4 minutes to work and the results are noticeable from the very first use.

The K18 Treatment is suitable for anyone with damaged, over-processed, or fragile hair. If your hair feels dry, brittle, or lacks shine due to colouring, bleaching, heat styling, or chemical treatments, K18 can help. It’s particularly beneficial for clients who frequently colour or lighten their hair. At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, we often recommend K18 alongside services like highlights or balayage to maintain healthy, resilient hair.

One of the great things about the K18 Treatment is its speed. The in-salon application typically takes around 4 to 6 minutes and can be added seamlessly to most hair services without extending your appointment time. At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, we apply the K18 Mist before chemical services to prepare the hair, and the K18 Mask after rinsing to repair damage and lock in strength. The entire process is quick, easy, and highly effective, making it perfect even for those with a tight schedule.

Yes, absolutely. In fact, K18 is highly recommended during colour or lightening services to minimise damage and maintain hair integrity. At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, we often incorporate K18 into colouring sessions, including full-head highlights and balayage. The treatment helps to prevent breakage during the chemical process and improves overall results, leaving your hair looking and feeling noticeably healthier. K18 doesn’t interfere with the colour outcome—it enhances it.

While Olaplex and other bond-repair treatments rebuild disulfide bonds, K18 goes a step further by repairing the inner keratin chains that make up the hair’s core structure. This means K18 doesn’t just patch damage—it restores hair to its natural, youthful state. Another key difference is the speed and longevity of the treatment. At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, many clients notice a dramatic difference in just one session with K18, and the results improve with continued use.

The results of a K18 Treatment are long-lasting, particularly when paired with a good hair care routine. For most clients, the hair feels healthier, stronger, and more manageable after just one treatment, with results lasting several weeks. For optimal maintenance, we recommend using the K18 Leave-In Mask at home as advised by our stylists. At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, we tailor your K18 plan based on your hair type, condition, and styling habits.

Yes, after your professional K18 Treatment at Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, you can maintain the results with the K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask. It’s easy to apply and takes just 4 minutes to activate—no rinse needed. We recommend using it once a week, or as advised by your stylist, to keep your hair healthy and strong between salon visits. Our team can show you how to use it properly and help you decide the right frequency based on your hair’s needs.

Not at all. K18 is a lightweight, leave-in formula that doesn’t leave residue or buildup. It’s designed to absorb fully into the hair’s inner structure without coating the outside, so your hair feels light, soft, and clean. Even fine or oily hair types benefit from K18 without any heaviness. At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, we apply just the right amount of product to suit your hair type and texture, ensuring maximum repair with zero weight.
