Stand-Alone K18 & Blowdry
The same bond-repair treatment as the colour add-on, booked on its own and finished with a blow-dry.
Who it’s for
Hair that needs rescuing without a colour appointment attached. Damage from heat, from colour done elsewhere, or hair that’s been through a lot and needs a reset.
What to know
- You leave with your hair finished, not wet.
- If you’re having colour anyway, the add-on version is the cheaper route.

“I can't recommend PeterJames Hairdressing highly enough - I had a fantastic salon experience with Peter! I really love the cut, but what's been incredible is the change in my hair's condition. It was thinning, like straw, tuggy after washing (couldn't pull my fingers through it), but now the texture is silken. For those of us of a certain age, or anyone suffering hair loss, "Peter James" (Haymarket) has one of only two hair salons in Scotland that has a Scalp, Menopause & Hair Loss Clinic. Absolutely five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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! ❤️”

“I’ve been going to see Peter since the salon opened and love it there, and would suggest them to anyone. I always come away feeling great about my hair but also myself. But today I had an amazing chat with Peter about the work they are doing to improve peoples scalps and their passion to help women going through perimenopause and menopause. Peter said someone close to him started going through this and he made it their mission to learn all they could. I’ve also seen the amount they learn about a product before bringing it into the salon and how important it is to them that they only suggest natural products. To see how much they care about their clients health and wellbeing, legit makes me emotional. 5 stars isn’t enough? They go above and far beyond.”

“Great experience, I went for a smoothing treatment for my frizzy hair with Zowie. Really friendly, lovely with great knowledge and advice to help an inexperienced person like myself. Such a nice salon inside. All the staff were so nice too, with lots of cups of tea made for me. Would defo recommend :)”

“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.”

“I had a wonderful experience getting a blow-dry but also while I was there I got a detox scalp treatment that's worked wonderful on my scalp. Oli was so kind, caring and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable with them and at the salon.”

Who is the stand-alone K18 treatment for?
Hair that needs rescuing without a colour appointment attached: damage from heat, from colour done elsewhere, or hair that's been through a lot and needs a reset.
How does K18 repair hair?
K18's patented K18PEPTIDE™ technology is designed to work within the hair structure, helping reconnect the polypeptide chains that contribute to strength and elasticity.
Will I leave with wet hair?
No. The treatment is finished with a blow-dry, so you leave with your hair finished, not wet.
I'm booking colour anyway. Should I book this?
If you're having colour, add K18 to your colour appointment instead. It's the same bond-repair treatment, and the add-on version is the cheaper route.
Should I choose K18, Liquid Hair or a System Professional treatment?
They're three different repair systems, and which one suits depends on what's actually wrong with your hair, so ask us. If your problem is breakage and structure rather than dryness, K18 is a better fit than a hydration-focused treatment such as the Thirst Quench Blow-dry.
