Professional silk press in Edgware

Smooth, glossy hair with a silk-soft finish.

A chemical-free straightening service tailored to your natural texture, combining careful heat styling with professional protection and more than 10 years of salon experience.

Movement, shine and softness

Achieve a polished silk press finish

Our Silk Press service is designed to straighten natural hair without chemical relaxers, leaving it smooth, glossy and full of movement. Suitable for Afro and European hair, the treatment is adapted to your texture, condition and desired finish.

Hair health remains central throughout the appointment. Our trained stylists use professional tools, controlled heat and salon-quality protective products to achieve a sleek result while caring for the strength and character of your natural hair.

Whether you are preparing for a special occasion, changing your everyday look or simply want to enjoy your hair in a different style, we create a finish that feels light, manageable and beautifully polished.

Professional care at every stage

What goes into your silk press

A beautiful finish begins long before straightening. Each stage is completed with close attention to moisture, protection, temperature and the condition of your hair.

Before your appointment

A silk press tailored to your hair

No two heads of hair respond in exactly the same way. A short consultation helps your stylist understand your texture, condition, styling history and expectations so the service can be adjusted appropriately.

Share your hair history

Tell us about colour, relaxers, keratin treatments, previous heat damage or any sensitivity affecting your hair or scalp.

Discuss your ideal finish

Let us know whether you prefer a very straight result, soft movement, curled ends or added body and volume.

Plan for your occasion

If your silk press is for an event, discuss timing with the salon and allow enough time for the complete preparation and finishing process.

Maintenance for smooth, lasting results

Your stylist will provide personalised guidance to help maintain shine, movement and smoothness after leaving the salon. Small changes to your daily and night-time routine can make a noticeable difference to the life of your style.

  • Wrap or pin your hair before sleeping
  • Use a satin or silk scarf, bonnet or pillowcase
  • Limit exposure to moisture, steam and humidity
  • Avoid adding unnecessary heat between appointments
  • Use only lightweight products recommended for your hair

A Silk Press is temporary and your natural texture will return when the hair comes into contact with water. Ask your stylist when to cleanse your hair and how to support a healthy return to your curls.
