Curl Rehab Treatment Trio
Book NowNourishing Treatment - 1 hour, 15 mins
The Malibu C Curl Partner Wellness Remedy uses a freshly activated vitamin C complex to gently remove hard-water minerals and buildup, restoring bounce, shine, and definition while priming curls for colour, perms, or hydration services. Alongside this, the Olaplex No.1 & No.2 Treatment works deep within the hair to repair and strengthen bonds, helping prevent breakage, improve elasticity, and restore overall health. Depending on your hair’s needs, one or both treatments may be used - because curls are never one-size-fits-all. -

We're Anxiety / Neurodiverse Friendly
We understand that visiting the salon can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s why we offer options for anyone experiencing anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or discomfort with overload. You can choose a silent treatment - where you won’t need to talk or be spoken to. Your mental wellbeing matters to us, and we’re here to support you. Our lights are dimmable, and we’re happy to turn down or switch off the music to create a calm, comfortable space tailored to you.

Our Passion
At the heart of what we do is a genuine love for curls and a deep understanding of the unique beauty that each texture brings. We’re passionate about helping you embrace your natural hair, working with your curls, waves, and coils to enhance their health and vibrancy. Whether it's through tailored in-salon treatments or curated products, we take the time to listen and create personalized solutions that honour your hair’s natural texture. For us, it's not just about styling – it’s about healing, nurturing, and empowering you to love the hair you were born with. Every curl has its own story, and we’re here to help yours shine.

Our Products
We believe that healthy curls start with the right products, which is why we've carefully hand-picked each product in our collection, choosing only those that truly nourish and enhance natural textures. The same premium products we trust and use in our Dunedin salon are now available to you online, so you can bring the expert care and nature-driven results into your own home. Our products are formulated with the finest natural ingredients, designed to work in harmony with your hair’s unique texture, whether you have curls, waves, or coils. From deep hydration to curl definition and frizz control, these products are crafted to heal, protect, and enhance every curl, while being gentle on both your hair and the planet.

Your Textured Hair Journey
Your textured hair journey is about embracing and celebrating the beauty of your natural curls, waves, or coils. It's not a battle, but a learning experience where you discover how to nurture and manage your hair with love and patience. With the right care and understanding, your hair can become your best asset – unique, vibrant, and full of life.
