What Causes Hair Damage and How Can Salon Treatments Help?
Daily habits like heat styling, tight hairstyles, UV exposure, and bleaching can all lead to broken bonds within the hair, frizz, dryness, and breakage. Without professional intervention, this damage can worsen over time — especially if you're colouring or chemically treating your hair regularly.
At Medusa, we use advanced treatments from Wella, K18, and Nioxin to help repair and restore your hair. These formulas are designed to work at a deeper level than at-home masks or conditioners and are tailored to suit your individual hair type and concerns.
How Does the Wella Ultimate Repair Treatment Work?
The Wella Ultimate Repair range is one of the most advanced treatments we offer. It repairs internal hair bonds while smoothing and protecting the outer surface of your hair.
Key Benefits:
- Visibly repairs the hair inside and out
- Makes wet detangling up to 6x easier*
- Instantly reduces frizz
- Targets the most damaged areas with smart, adaptive technology
What’s inside?
- AHA to strengthen hair from the inside
- Omega 9 to rebuild the outer layer and lock in moisture
This treatment is suitable for all hair types and textures — including straight, curly, coily, thick or fine hair. It’s also dermatologically tested, colour-safe, and vegan-friendly.
What is K18 and Why is it Different?
K18 uses patented peptide technology to rebuild keratin bonds broken by chemical damage. Unlike traditional conditioning masks, K18 is a leave-in treatment that works on a molecular level to restore strength, smoothness, and elasticity.
Key facts:
- Reverses hair damage from colouring, bleaching, and heat
- Works in just 4 minutes
- Delivers long-lasting strength and shine
- Ideal for use before or after colour services
K18 is particularly effective for clients who lighten their hair frequently or use hot tools daily. It’s quick, powerful, and highly recommended by our colour experts.

What Treatments Can Help With Thinning Hair?
If you’re in the early stages of hair thinning, Nioxin is an excellent treatment system that supports scalp health and hair density. It gently clears scalp build-up, strengthens the hair shaft, and creates the ideal conditions for fuller, healthier hair growth.
Nioxin treatments are often used alongside expert trichology advice, helping clients manage both the cosmetic and clinical aspects of hair thinning.
