Instant hydration. Visible shine. Gentle, salon-luxury care in Nanaimo.

At KG Hair Salon, your hair health comes first. Our new Kerasilk Hydrating Essence service is a lightweight, concentrated treatment designed to replenish moisture, reduce breakage, and boost natural shine—without heaviness or residue. It’s a quick add-on that leaves hair looking and feeling beautifully nourished.

Why clients love it

• Deep, immediate hydration for dry or compromised hair (clinically shown to deliver 2× more hydration vs. untreated hair).
• Helps prevent up to 96% of split ends & breakage for softer, stronger-looking hair.
• Feather-light feel and healthy, natural shine—great for all hair types and textures.
• 100% vegan formula powered by Biomimetic Silk & 4% Betaine (a moisture-locking humectant).

How it works (in stylist-friendly terms)

Kerasilk’s Silk+ Technology blends Biomimetic Silk (a vegan alternative designed to help strengthen the hair fiber) with targeted “high-potency” ingredients. Betaine supports the hair’s water balance and forms a light “hydro-veil” on the surface to lock in moisture and enhance gloss.

Who it’s ideal for

• Hair that feels dry, brittle, or dull
• Color-treated or lightened hair that needs gentle hydration and shine support
• Medium to coarse textures seeking a silky, polished finish without weight
• Anyone who wants a fast, visible refresh between color or cut appointments

What to expect at KG (20–40 minutes, depending on hair lengh and thickness)

1. Consultation: Your stylist assesses hair history, color, and goals.
2. Cleanse & prep: We clarify lightly so the treatment can do its best work.
3. Hydrating Essence application: A precise dose is applied root-to-tip or focused on mid-lengths & ends.
4. Seal & style: Blowout/finish for soft movement and mirror-ready shine.

“Pair it with a trim, gloss for the complete fresh hair day.”

💛Maintain your results at home.
Your stylist will recommend a simple routine to extend softness and shine—think gentle, hydrating cleansing, heat protection, and a polishing oil for frizz control up to 72 hours.

Is this a keratin straightening service?
No. Hydrating Essence focuses on hydration, strength, and shine—not straightening. If you’re seeking long-term smoothing, ask about our Kerasilk Keratin Treatment (luxuriously smooth results for up to ~5 months).

Will it weigh my hair down?
It’s a lightweight, concentrated formula designed to hydrate without residue.

Is it safe for color-treated hair?
Yes—Kerasilk’s Essentials line is formulated to hydrate and help prevent premature color fading; your stylist will tailor products to your color and texture.

How often should I get it?
Most clients love a refresh every 4–8 weeks, or before special events. Your stylist will personalize a schedule based on your hair’s needs.

Is the formula vegan?
Yes—Kerasilk states the treatment is 100% vegan (no animal-derived ingredients).
