Olaplex Bond Building Treatment

Olaplex revolutionized the professional hair care industry with its patented bond-building technology, and Plush Salon is proud to offer the full range of Olaplex professional treatments. Olaplex works at the molecular level, repairing the disulfide bonds in the hair that are broken during chemical services, heat styling, and everyday wear and tear.

How Olaplex works:

Hair is made up of proteins connected by disulfide bonds. When these bonds break, from coloring, bleaching, perming, heat styling, or environmental damage, the hair becomes weak, brittle, and prone to breakage. Olaplex contains a patented active ingredient (bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate) that seeks out and repairs broken bonds, restoring the hair's strength, elasticity, and integrity from the inside out.

Olaplex treatments at Plush Salon include:

  • Olaplex Standalone Treatment. A concentrated in-salon treatment using Olaplex No. 1 (Bond Multiplier) and No. 2 (Bond Perfector) for maximum bond repair. Ideal for damaged, over-processed, or chemically treated hair that needs intensive restoration.
  • Olaplex Add-On During Color: Olaplex No. 1 is mixed directly into color or lightener formulations, protecting bonds during the chemical process and minimizing damage. This is one of the best investments you can make for color-treated hair.
  • Olaplex No. 2 Bond Perfector: Applied after coloring or lightening to continue the bond-building process, leaving hair stronger and more resilient than traditional post-color conditioners.

Plush Salon also carries the full Olaplex take-home line, including the popular No. 3 Hair Perfector, No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, No. 6 Bond Smoother, No. 7 Bonding Oil, and No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask. Your stylist can recommend the ideal Olaplex home care regimen to maintain your treatment results between salon visits.

K18 Molecular Repair Treatment

K18 is a next-generation hair repair treatment that works differently from traditional conditioning, it actually reverses hair damage at the molecular level. While conditioners coat the outside of the hair to temporarily smooth and soften, K18 uses a patented bioactive peptide that reconnects broken keratin chains within the hair, restoring strength, softness, elasticity, and bounce.

What makes K18 unique:

  • No rinse required. The professional K18 treatment is a leave-in formula that continues working after your appointment
  • Cumulative results. Each K18 treatment builds on the last, progressively restoring the hair to its original, undamaged state
  • Works on all hair types. K18 is effective on straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair textures
  • Won't weigh hair down. Unlike heavy masks and deep conditioners, K18 leaves hair light, bouncy, and natural-feeling

K18 treatments at Plush Salon include:

  • K18 Professional Treatment. An intensive in-salon molecular repair service using the professional-strength K18 formula. Ideal as a standalone treatment or paired with color, lightening, or other chemical services.
  • K18 Add-On to Any Service. Add K18 to any salon service for enhanced repair and protection. Especially beneficial after highlights, balayage, or color correction.

Deep Conditioning Treatments

Sometimes your hair simply needs a concentrated dose of moisture, protein, or both.

Our deep conditioning options include:

  • Hydrating Deep Conditioning Mask. Intense moisture infusion for dry, dehydrated, or coarse hair. Restores softness, elasticity, and shine. Perfect for hair that's been exposed to sun, wind, hard water, or dry indoor heating.
  • Protein Reconstructing Treatment: Strengthening treatment for weak, breakage-prone, or chemically damaged hair. Rebuilds the hair's protein structure to reduce breakage and improve resilience.
  • Moisture-Protein Balance Treatment: A customized combination of hydration and strengthening for hair that needs both. Your stylist will assess your hair's specific needs and formulate a treatment to address them.
  • Express Conditioning Boost: A quick, affordable conditioning add-on for any salon service. Takes just 5 to 10 minutes and adds noticeable softness and shine.

Deep conditioning treatments can be added to any haircut, color, or styling appointment for maximum benefit. Many clients at Plush Salon incorporate a deep conditioning treatment into every salon visit as part of their ongoing hair health routine.

When to Get Hair Treatments & How Often

The frequency of professional hair treatments depends on your hair's condition, your styling habits, and whether you receive chemical services. Here are general guidelines:

  • Deep conditioning treatments: Every 2 to 4 weeks for dry or damaged hair; monthly for healthy hair maintenance
  • Olaplex bond-building treatments: Every 4 to 6 weeks, or as an add-on with every color service
  • K18 molecular repair: Every 4 to 6 weeks for damaged hair; less frequently for maintenance once hair health is restored
  • Before and after chemical services: Treatments before coloring or lightening prepare the hair and minimize damage; treatments after restore moisture and repair bonds
  • Seasonal transitions: Fall and spring are excellent times for intensive treatments as your hair adjusts to changing weather, humidity, and indoor heating or air conditioning

Your Plush Salon stylist will create a personalized treatment plan based on your hair's current condition and your goals. Whether you need intensive repair or simple maintenance, we'll tailor our recommendations to your budget and schedule.

More to Know

Hair Treatment FAQ

What's the difference between Olaplex and K18? Both are bond-repairing treatments, but they work differently. Olaplex repairs disulfide bonds (the bonds broken during chemical processing), while K18 uses a bioactive peptide to reconnect broken keratin chains. Many stylists recommend using both for comprehensive repair. Olaplex during chemical services and K18 as a post-service or standalone treatment.

Can I get a treatment during my regular appointment? Absolutely. Most treatments can be added to any haircut, color, or styling appointment. Deep conditioning adds just 10 to 20 minutes to your visit. Let your stylist know when booking or upon arrival, and we'll build it into your appointment time.

How do I know if my hair needs a protein or moisture treatment? Hair that feels mushy, stretchy, or limp when wet usually needs protein. Hair that feels dry, straw-like, or brittle usually needs moisture. Many clients need a balance of both. Your Plush Salon stylist will assess your hair and recommend the right treatment for your needs.

Are professional treatments worth it if I use good products at home? Yes. Professional treatments use higher concentrations of active ingredients and are applied with techniques that maximize penetration and effectiveness. Think of it like skincare, your daily routine is essential, but professional facials deliver results you can't achieve at home. The same is true for hair.

Will treatments make my fine hair heavy or greasy? Not when applied correctly. Your Plush Salon stylist will choose treatments formulated for your specific hair type and density. Lightweight options like K18 are particularly well-suited for fine hair, as they repair without adding weight or residue.

How soon will I see results from hair treatments? Most clients notice an immediate improvement in softness, shine, and manageability after their first treatment. Bond-building treatments like Olaplex and K18 provide cumulative benefits, your hair will continue to improve with consistent treatment over time.

Can hair treatments reverse heat damage? Treatments can significantly improve the look and feel of heat-damaged hair by rebuilding internal bonds, restoring moisture, and smoothing the cuticle. While severely heat-damaged hair may eventually need to be trimmed away, professional treatments can restore a great deal of strength and elasticity to mildly and moderately damaged hair.
