NEW SERVICE AVAILABLE - KERATIN SMOOTHING TREATMENT

2011-02-04T12:28:00.000+11:00

We are happy to announce the arrival of our new service Hydrospa Smoothing Treatment

HOW IT WORKS
A revolutionary hair treatment service that was originally developed in

Brazil

, HydroSpa Keratin Smoothing Treatment infuses and bonds Keratin, Wheat and Rice Proteins into and onto the cuticle layer of the hair shaft. Combined with amino acids, silicones and anti static agents, the results are quite simply remarkable; incredible shine, smoothness, enhanced strength and condition, frizz free and humidity proofed. The hair is straightened around 90% giving it a far more natural look than chemical straighteners and the hair is in better condition than when you started. Incredibly, the treatment works more effectively the more damaged the hair is. Unlike chemical straighteners HydroSpa Keratin Smoothing Treatment does not chemically rearrange the internal disulphide bond structure of the hair and it can be used on coloured, foiled and chemically straightened hair.

Pricing FROM $385 (inclusive of Hydrospa Shampoo and Conditioner)

For further information please speak to Sam

AHC ASSESSMENT

2010-09-22T09:39:00.000+10:00

Sensoria have been selected to be part of the Australian Hairdressing Council. AHC Salon Select is the AHC salon accreditation program, designed to drive promotion and profitable growth in the industry, improve the quality and business skills of salons, and influence the quality and quantity of people attracted to careers in the industry. AHC Salon Select incorporates five important components being the standards, accreditation and quality assurance, continuous development, promotion, and stakeholder involvement.
The quality standards are established to not only raise the quality of salons and salon management, but also to appeal to consumers and potential employees.

It has long been said that the hairdressing industry is either under represented or not represented at all on a national basis. A new entity that offers an unbiased, dedicated focus on the betterment of the industry is well overdue.
The Australian Hairdressing Council (AHC) was created to fill this void in our industry. The creation of the AHC followed on from a meeting held in November 2006, facilitated by Service Skills Australia and subsequently an industry think tank where a recommendation was put forward to establish a National Industry Body. Now Sensoria are lucky enough to be apart of this amazing team.

Goldwell is continuing to focus on providing the industry with education events with a difference.

“Ignite showcased a body of like-minded individuals working in a collaborative and truly entertaining way. Guests experienced an unprecedented synthesis of cut, colour and styling ideas with both global and local influences,” said Goldwell Marketing Manager, Louise Chamberlain.

Fresh from fashion weeks and expert seminars around the world across a variety of genres, the talented team ignited all the hairdresser’s passion for success and creativity, like petrol to a flame..
