About this service
What deep conditioning includes at our Alpena salons
Deep conditioning treatments restore moisture, softness, and shine to hair that has become dry, brittle, or chemically stressed. Most walk-in salons offer multiple treatment tiers: basic conditioner ($5-$10) for everyday softness, deep conditioning by length ($8-$32) for moderate dryness, and specialized treatments like Malibu Hard Water ($20-$25) for chlorinated or mineral-heavy water exposure, Malibu Heavy Detox ($75) for major buildup correction, and Awapuhi or Tea Tree treatments ($10-$25) for specific scalp or hair concerns. Treatment time varies by tier — most run 10-30 minutes added to a regular service.
A deep conditioning treatment is typically added to another service (cut or color) but can be booked standalone. After shampoo, the stylist applies the chosen treatment generously, sometimes covering with a heat cap to enhance penetration. Processing time runs 10-25 minutes depending on the treatment. After processing, the hair is rinsed thoroughly and finished as part of the styling service. Many guests notice a difference in softness and shine immediately, with longer-term improvements over multiple visits.
