Enjoy salon smooth hair for twelve weeks

Thu, May 27, 2010

The 12-week blow dry is a specially formulated revitalising treatment for the hair that eliminates frizz and curl. The advanced formulation restores and restructures the hair by infusing a special blend of natural keratin deep into the cuticle. The keratin is bonded into the cuticle by the heat of the flat iron, thus leaving your hair more manageable, noticeably straighter, and softer, with added shine as well as lengthened look.

The 12-week blowdry is now available at David Martin Hair salons. To arrange an appointment or for further information contact David Martin New Dock Street (091) 561200, or Kingston Road (091) 589999.
