HIP is proud to offer a new permanent hair straightening service – QiQi Hair Treatment.

QiQi is a vegan, permanent hair transformation that is formaldehyde-free. The unique system with straightening capabilities safely reacts with disulfide bonds without harsh chemicals. The exclusive formula penetrates the cortex and reshapes its structure safely without any concern of hair breakage or drying.

There are 3 different services:

  1. Define existing curl and eliminate frizz
  2. Smooth and defrizz hair without losing all the body, but not completely straight
  3. Makes the hair straight and frizz-free

It takes about 3-5 hours to complete the service. Pricing varies based on length and thickness of hair. The first time receiving this treatment, you must book the package with the masque treatment, which is essential to the QiQi treatment.

Schedule a free consultation appointment so we can discuss how the treatment would work for your hair.
