Glass Lamination Blow-dry
A luxe oil lamination that gives around three weeks of smoothness, humidity resistance and a glass-like finish. It protects the hair fibre, restores keratin and reduces breakage — without flattening volume or bounce.
Who it’s for
Anyone who wants high shine and frizz control for an event, a holiday, or a few weeks of good hair, without committing to a months-long chemical treatment.
What to know
- It lasts around three weeks. It’s a treat, not a transformation.
- It doesn’t reduce volume, so it suits fine hair as well as thick.
- Good before a holiday or a wedding.
- If you want months rather than weeks, look at Smooth Filler.

“I know a few people who go to PeterJames and their hair always looks fabulous so I thought I would try too after having a disaster! From the min I worked in for my patch test I felt welcome (so did my daughter who loved the dogs!) James and I talked over what we could do and where I wanted to be (was dark brown/grey! And wanted blonde) he explained it would take a few appointments which I was absolutely fine with as he was so honest.. he booked me in with Peter for the following week and again, Peter went over and explained everything to me, he advised on products etc and I left feeling amazing and had a nice Colour after getting highlights.. unfortunately I was really unwell between my appointments and in and out of hospital but I kept in touch and Peter even sent my products I had ordered to my parents house where I was staying for a bit.I am just home from my second appointment and my hair looks and feels fantastic, the colour is amazing and I cannot believe the shine (I’ve never had a shine when having blonde hair before!) just arranged to go out with my friend tonight as I feel so much more confident!! Got my next three appointments booked in too! Thank you again to all at PeterJames for making me feel so welcome and valued, lovely owners, amazing staff and fantastic salon xx”

“I had a really wonderful, 10/10 experience at PeterJames Hairdressing this morning. After cutting my own hair for several years due to the pandemic and then having newborn twins, my hair was in a sorry state 😳 - totally uneven, jagged layers, a real mess. Zowie did an incredible job repairing my hair and transforming it into something I could be proud of (and no longer embarrassed by)! Peter, James, and Zowie all took the time at the start to discuss different options with me, clearly communicating what they thought would suit my hair and face shape best. They made me feel so heard and valued, and just really good about myself! The process of cutting and styling my hair went so smoothly. Zowie was so easy to talk to and she did a great job communicating each part of the process as it was happening. I couldn't be happier with the end result. Lesson learned, no more cutting my own hair 😆! PeterJames Hairdressing, I'll definitely be back. Thank you so much! ❤️”

“Zowie was fantastic - she spent time feeling my hair and listening to my struggles with it before recommending the type of cut that would be best, checking in with me through the whole process. I felt very safe in her hands!”

“Absolutely lovely. I have very damaged abused hair from years of bleaching and extensions. They were kind, polite and non-judgmental towards my hair concerns. They are are real miracle workers. My hair has gone from a damaged birds nest to a beautiful, well conditioned sleek professional cut. I really couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much.”

How long does a glass lamination last?
Around three weeks. It's a treat, not a transformation.
What does it do?
It's a luxe oil lamination that gives smoothness, humidity resistance and a glass-like finish. It also protects the hair fibre, restores keratin and reduces breakage.
Will it flatten fine hair?
No. It doesn't reduce volume or bounce, so it suits fine hair as well as thick.
When is it a good choice?
Before a holiday, a wedding or an event, or whenever you want a few weeks of high shine and frizz control without committing to a months-long chemical treatment.
Should I choose Glass Lamination or Smooth Filler?
Glass Lamination is a single-visit boost that lasts around three weeks. Smooth Filler lasts up to five months and is a service you plan around, so if you want months rather than weeks, look at that instead.
