What is included in our silk press
Our Silk Press starts at $105 and takes about 2 hours 30 minutes:
- Steam hair bath and steam conditioning.
- Deep conditioning under the dryer.
- Heat protectant, then a careful blow-out and flat iron.
- A light finishing spray for shine without weight.
We do not rush the prep. Clean, well-conditioned hair presses smoother, holds longer and takes less heat.
Silk press without the damage
A good silk press should not leave your curls limp. We protect your hair by:
- Using heat protectant on every section.
- Matching the iron temperature to your hair, not one setting for everyone.
- Passing the iron as few times as possible.
- Recommending a trim when ends are split, because a press shows every split end.
If your curls are not bouncing back after a wash, book a Protein Treatment ($35+) or Deep Condition ($50) with your next press.
How long does a silk press last?
Usually 2–4 weeks, depending on your hair, the weather and how you wrap it at night. Humidity and sweat are the biggest enemies. Read our tips on making a silk press last.
Before your silk press
- Come with your hair detangled if you can. Heavily matted hair may need extra time.
- If you are getting a trim, tell us when you book.
- Bring a satin scarf or bonnet for the ride home if it is humid or rainy.
