What is a Keratin Treatment?

Keratin treatments are a smoothing treatment that fills in the porosity of your hair, as overly porous hair causes tangles, frizz, and breakage. Your hair is made up of keratin, so the treatment is putting the protein back into the hair, which is often lost due to nature, age, and chemical services. It is not for everyone and your stylist can help determine if your hair type is right for the service—curly and frizzy textures will see the most benefits, whereas fine, straight strands should avoid it altogether.

Do you do bridal hair?

Yes. Hair By The Collective can provide In-Salon: bridal trials, day of bridal, bridesmaid, flower girl, and mother of the bride hairstyles. Services provided upon consultation.

What is the difference between Highlights, Balayage, and Ombre?

Full or Partial Highlights isolate selected strands of hair and treat them with a color, lightener, or toner within foils. If applied evenly throughout the entire head, highlights create a natural look that mimics the way hair changes color over time in the sun, adding a sense of dimension and texture to the existing hair.

Balayage involves a stylist hand-painting the highlights so that they look even more natural, with depth and dimension that resemble the effects of the sun. Balayage means ‘sweeping’ in French, and is a reference to the sweeping motions of the painting process. When painting, stylists start at the middle of the strand and sweep out toward the root or tip. As a result, there is no severe line of color at the root and the grow-out is more natural looking, which translates into longer-lasting results.

Unlike the natural aesthetic of highlights and balayage, Ombre is the dramatic transition from darker roots to lighter tips. Though the Ombre style is suited to complexions of all shades, only careful consultation with a professional stylist can determine which colours will flatter your look. For example, those with darker skin can shoot for deep reds and coppers, while fairer tones can experiment with blondes and caramel colors. Daredevils of all skin types can turn to unnatural hues such as pink and blue for an even more dramatic effect.

Do any of your hair stylists specialise in cutting curly hair?
Yes, cutting curly hair requires a hairstylist to assess the curls individually, instead of cutting in a uniform manner.  Over time, salon owner, Michael has developed a following of curly-haired clients throughout Brisbane, because of his creative eye and invested interest.  Michael will enhance your natural curl with a free-hand approach giving a fresh prospective of how curly hair sits and complements its day-to-day changes.
What are the benefits of wellaplex?
Wellaplex is a complete internal reparative treatment to be used in addition to colour, lightening, and chemical services.  Benefits include:
  • Builds and Repairs broken bonds to restore the integrity of hair
  • Reduces porosity of hair so colour last longer and prevents fading
  • Increases elasticity and restores hair to its natural texture and healthy state
  • Adds an extra layer of protection and TLC during lightening or chemical process
The best hairdressers encourage clients to take home Wellaplex No. 3 Hair Stabilizer.  To be used once a week between chemical services to help strengthen hair.
Do Your hairdressers specialise in blonde hair?
Being blonde is the ultimate accessory for some of our clients, who only trust the best in the business. From subtle caramel to standout platinum, Hair By The Collective has the Brisbane’s best hairdressers for blondes.
Does your hair salon cater for men's hair?

All of our senior stylists have mastered the art of fading and blending.  Whether you are after a classic professional look or a trendsetting presence, our hairstylist will give you gents a flawless look.
Are your hair stylists balayage specialists?
