Premium international products & no hard-selling

Plus, despite using premium products such as Milbon from Japan for colouring and rebonding and organic Freecia hair colour from Canada, their prices are kept competitive.


They also specialise in white hair coverage, and for using colouring products that are organic and low in ammonia to minimise damage.
