Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Colour, Nanoplasty, Hair Extensions & Healthy Hair
What is Nanoplasty?
Nanoplasty is an advanced smoothing treatment that reduces frizz, improves shine, and leaves hair feeling healthier, softer and more manageable. Unlike many traditional straightening systems, modern nanoplasty treatments are formulated to nourish the hair while delivering long-lasting smoothness.
At Era Hair, we customise every nanoplasty service to your hair type, ensuring beautiful results while maintaining the integrity of your hair.
Is chemical straightening damaging?
When performed correctly by experienced professionals using premium products, chemical straightening doesn't have to mean damaged hair.
At Era Hair, we carefully assess your hair's condition before recommending any straightening service. We only perform treatments when your hair is suitable and tailor every service to protect the health of your hair as much as possible.
What is the difference between Nanoplasty and Chemical Straightening?
Both treatments reduce frizz and create smoother hair, but they work differently.
Nanoplasty focuses on smoothing, reducing frizz and improving hair condition while providing a naturally sleek finish.
Chemical straightening permanently restructures the hair, creating a straighter result until new hair grows through.
During your consultation, we'll recommend the best option based on your hair type, lifestyle and desired result.
What is Virtue Hair Treatment?
Virtue is a premium hair treatment powered by Alpha Keratin 60ku®, the world's first bio-identical human keratin. Unlike traditional treatments that simply coat the hair, Virtue helps repair and strengthen damaged hair from within, leaving it healthier, softer and noticeably shinier.
Why is Virtue different from other hair treatments?
Most salon treatments temporarily smooth or coat the hair. Virtue uses patented Alpha Keratin 60ku® technology that recognises damaged areas of the hair and helps rebuild them. The result is stronger, healthier hair that continues to improve with regular treatments.
Can damaged hair be repaired?
While severely damaged hair can't technically be reversed, it can often be dramatically improved.
Our team specialises in restoring dry, over-processed and chemically damaged hair through customised treatment plans, professional salon treatments and premium home care recommendations.
Healthy hair is always our priority.
Can I safely go blonde?
In many cases, yes—but it depends on your hair's history and current condition.
We'll assess your hair during your consultation and create a personalised plan to achieve your blonde goals as safely as possible. Sometimes this can be achieved in one visit, while other transformations may require multiple appointments to maintain healthy hair.
Our focus is always on beautiful blonde hair that still feels healthy.
How long does balayage last?
One of the biggest benefits of balayage is its soft, low-maintenance grow-out.
Most clients refresh their balayage every 8–16 weeks depending on their desired brightness, while toners are often refreshed between appointments to maintain the perfect tone.
Because the colour is blended naturally, there's no harsh regrowth line.
How much do hair extensions cost?
Hair extension pricing varies depending on the amount of hair required and method that's best suited to your hair.
Because every client is different, we recommend booking a complimentary consultation where we'll colour match your hair, discuss your goals and provide a personalised quote with no obligation.
Do you offer complimentary consultations?
Absolutely.
We offer complimentary consultations for colour corrections, blonde transformations, hair extensions, nanoplasty, chemical straightening and clients wanting a personalised hair plan.
Your consultation gives you the opportunity to meet your stylist, discuss your goals, receive professional recommendations and receive an accurate quote before booking.
Do you specialise in blonde hair?
Yes. We specialise in customised blonde services including lived-in blondes, bright blondes, balayage, foils and blonde corrections while keeping your hair healthy.
How do I know which treatment is right for me?
Every head of hair is different.
Our experienced stylists assess your hair, discuss your goals and recommend the services that will achieve the best long-term result—not simply the most expensive treatment.
Do you fix colour corrections?
Yes.
Whether you've experienced an at-home colour disaster or you're unhappy with work completed elsewhere, our team can assess your hair and create a personalised correction plan.
Some colour corrections can be completed in one appointment, while others require multiple visits to safely protect your hair.
How often should I have professional hair treatments?
This depends on your hair type and goals, but many clients benefit from professional treatments every 4–8 weeks.
Regular treatments help maintain moisture, strength, shine and colour longevity while keeping hair in excellent condition.
