Our Goal
To provide a luxury experience in a welcoming environment were clients walk in excited and leave feeling like there most beautiful self.
A new hair treatment has come to the salon this week! It is a new product designed to restore and bring back the health to your damaged and brittle hair, but how does it work you may ask.
K18 utilizes a breakthrough patented oligopeptide (K18Peptide™) which shuttles amino acids (the building blocks of hair) into the inner structure of the hair. Once inside the hair cortex, the unique amino-acid chain goes directly to the broken disulfide bonds to replace the lost amino acids, regenerating the bond and restoring ultimate strength, resilience and softness.
You can ask your stylist to use it on you with your next hair service, or buy the mask and use it at home!

Quannessence is formulated to facilitate the corrective management of problematic skin conditions. The line is based on medical principles and a holistic approach in keeping with proven aesthetic techniques, rather than hype.

REDKEN’S HISTORY
Paula Kent co-founded Redken Laboratories in 1960. As a young actress in the late 1950s, when hair was highly bleached and teased, Paula was challenged with baby fine hair and sensitive skin. On set in Hollywood, she constantly experienced allergic reactions to the products used by hairdressers and makeup artists. She visited dermatologists and hairdressers to find a solution, but no one could explain to her the science behind the products.
In a moment of inspiration, Paula realized that she could help millions of other people who needed gentle, high-performance products – and that professional hairdressers needed to know the chemistry of hair and skin, product ingredients and their relationship to beautiful, healthy hair.
Using $3,000 she earned from appearing in a beer commercial, Paula Kent and her hairdresser, Jheri Redding (forming the name “REDKEN”) started Redken with three products and an intensive education program for hairdressers. The formulas were developed based on three principles:
Protein technology (since hair is composed primarily of protein)
An acidic pH of 4.5-5.5, complementing the natural pH of the hair and skin
Products recommended exclusively by licensed cosmetologists in professional salons
With this, Paula Kent revolutionized the professional haircare industry for both stylists and clients. Her pioneering spirit is cherished and she leaves behind a legacy that sustains the brand today.

Session Stylist
A Natural plant-derived surfactants create rich, luxurious lathers that help moisturise and nourish the hair, and all KEVIN.MUPRHY products are naturally free of sulphate surfactants.
Our Washes use only sulphate-free surfactants that effectively cleanse and remove surface oil and dirt, without stripping or depleting hair colour. AHA’s or fruit acids derived from Sugar Cane work to gently exfoliate the hair’s surface without drying or depleting its natural moisture.
Paraben-free Rinses smooth and moisturise the surface of the hair. Nourishing and moisturising agents from Mango and Murumuru Butter help smooth the cuticle and soften hair from root to tip.
