About this service
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.
Spring 2026 angle
Spring is the rebound season — winter dryness gets corrected with deep conditioning, allergy-shampoo strip-outs, and pre-summer hydration treatments.
