A Hot Oil Treatment infuses warmed natural oils to deeply moisturize, repair, and strengthen dry hair. The oils penetrate the shaft, seal cuticles, and restore elasticity. Treatment includes a gentle wash to remove excess oil and reveal softer, restored hair and improved manageability.

Appointments typically last 45 to 60 minutes, including consultation, warmed oil application, a resting period, and a professional wash. Time can vary by hair length, density, and additional services such as trims or deep conditioning enhancements.

When applied and rinsed properly, Hot Oil Treatments should not leave hair greasy. We use light, non-greasy oils and a professional wash to remove excess oil. If you have an oily scalp, your stylist will adjust application to avoid residue while still nourishing strands.
