Best Hair Treatments near me in Mercer Square, Boston

What your hair stylist does during a treatment will be dictated by the treatment you choose. Your treatment may be carried out on washed, unwashed, wet, or dry hair. Ask your stylist before you book your appointment what’s involved in the process and how long it’s likely to take. Applying a detox treatment takes a matter of minutes, hair toning can take between 5-20 minutes, hot oil and moisturising treatments take around 20 minutes, glossing is likely to take between 30 and 40 minutes, and you’ll need to allow 1-2 hours if you’re having your hair relaxed, and 1-3 hours if you’re booked in for a keratin treatment.

You’ll be awake during the procedure, but you’ll probably be sedated and given a local anaesthetic to ensure you don’t feel any pain. You’ll then either have a follicular unit transplant (FUT) or a follicular unit extraction (FUE).

During FUT, your doctor will remove a thin strip of skin with hair on it from the back of your head, cut it into hair grafts (pieces of skin containing 1-4 hairs), and insert it into incisions where you want your hair to grow. The area the skin was stripped from will be stitched to promote healing, but you’re likely to be left with a thin scar. If you opt for FUE, the back of your head will be shaved, grafts of single hairs will be removed and placed into incisions in your scalp. You'll be left with little scars where the hairs were removed. Hair transplants usually take a day to do, and you may need more than one session if a large area is being treated. You should see new hair appearing within the first six months.

No. If you have dry, over-processed, or damaged hair you may want to avoid treatments that could make your hair health worse or irritate your scalp. Ask your hair stylist to advise you on the treatments that would work best for you.

Professional hair treatments are in-salon services designed to restore, strengthen, and nourish the hair. Common treatments include keratin treatments, bond repair (such as Olaplex), protein treatments, deep conditioning, scalp treatments, and glossing services.

Some of the most popular types of hair treatments include: Keratin – smooths and straightens curly or frizzy hair for up to 3 months. This treatment is also known as the Brazilian Blowout. Scalp – the go-to indulgence for improving itchy, flaky scalps. Hot oil – this salon treatment can transform dry and damaged hair into shiny, silky locks. Moisture – deeply nourishing, a quality moisture treatment can boost the look and health of dry and heat damaged hair. Detox – cleanses your hair from product and other impurities, improving the overall health of your hair and scalp. Some detox hair treatments can even stimulate hair growth. Relaxing – used to reduce and control curl and frizz, the results of relaxing treatments should last until your hair grows out. Toning – these treatments are for dyed hair and can help to neutralise warm or brassy tones, reinvigorate colour vibrancy, and add gloss. Glossing – leaves you with high-shine locks that can last for weeks.

Talk to your stylist. Tell them what your hair goals are, and ask them to advise you on the best types of treatment for you based on your hair’s type, length, and condition.
