Hair Treatments ยท Walnut Creek, CA
Repair, moisture and smoothing, matched to your hair
Hair treatments are salon services that repair, hydrate or smooth hair that feels dry, brittle, frizzy or overworked. Urban Loxx Salon & Day Spa in Walnut Creek offers bond repair, deep conditioning, K18, keratin and smoothing treatments, and several of them pair easily with a cut or color visit. They suit women and men whose hair needs more help than a good shampoo can give.
Which hair treatment does your hair actually need?
Most hair trouble falls into one of three groups: it is dry, it is weak on the inside, or it will not lie smooth. Each group calls for a different kind of treatment, so the first job is naming what is really going on.
Rough hair that tangles easily usually needs moisture, and our Deep Conditioning Treatment is the go-to there. Hair that snaps, stretches or feels gummy after lightening or heat needs bond repair. That is where the K18 Treatment and the Olaplex Bond Treatment, which strengthens and fortifies, come in.
Frizz that fights your blow-dryer calls for smoothing. We offer a Keratin Treatment, Express Keratin, the Brazilian Blowout and the Sweet Smoothing Treatment, and each one works a little differently.
Two more menu items handle specific problems. Metal Detox removes heavy metals and mineral buildup from hair and scalp, the kind that can leave hair feeling heavy and dull. Split End Correction by Brazilian Blowout seals and smooths split ends so your hair looks healthier and holds together better between trims.
How a treatment visit works at Urban Loxx
-
Tell us what your hair is doing
When you book or check in, describe what bothers you: dryness, breakage, frizz, dullness or ends that split fast. Mention any recent color, lightening, heat styling or swimming. That history helps your stylist narrow the menu to one or two treatments that make sense, instead of stacking everything into one visit.
-
A hands-on hair check
Your stylist looks at and feels your hair, both at the root and through the ends. A gentle stretch test shows whether strands bounce back or snap, which points toward bond repair. A look at the scalp shows buildup. From there you agree on a plan together, and you can always ask why.
-
The treatment itself
Moisture and bond treatments are usually applied at the shampoo bowl, left to work, then rinsed. Some are mixed into or added after a color or lightening service. Smoothing treatments such as keratin are applied section by section and then sealed in with heat, so they take a dedicated appointment.
-
Finish, styling and home care
Your hair is dried and styled so you can see and feel the change before you leave. Your stylist explains when to wash, what to avoid and when a repeat visit makes sense for your hair. Ready to start? Book Now or call us at (925) 939-6633.
More about Hair Treatments

Can you add a treatment to a cut or color visit?
Yes, and that is how many guests use them. Deep conditioning works as an add-on to another service, and K18 is often added to a color or lightening appointment. Bond treatments make the most sense when your hair is being chemically processed, because that is when the bonds inside it are under the most stress.
Smoothing is different. A keratin treatment, Brazilian Blowout or Sweet Smoothing Treatment needs its own time, so it is usually booked on its own. If you want both color and smoothing, tell your stylist up front. They will suggest which service to do first and how far apart to space them so the color looks right and the smoothing lasts.

Bond repair, moisture or smoothing: how they differ
Think of hair as a rope. Moisture treatments soften the outside of the rope so it feels supple and shiny. Bond treatments work deeper, helping to rebuild the links inside each strand that lightening, heat and chemical services break down. Smoothing treatments coat and seal the outside so frizz calms down and hair dries straighter and sleeker.
Many people need more than one kind over a year. A guest who lightens often might lean on K18 or the Olaplex Bond Treatment, then book a smoothing service in humid months. Someone with thick, dry curls might rely on deep conditioning. Your stylist can map this out with you, and each treatment page explains its own service in more detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you still offer the B3 treatment?
B3 used to be our bond-building option. Bond-building is now covered by the bond treatments on today's menu: the Olaplex Bond Treatment and the K18 Restorative Treatment. If you used to book B3, ask at the desk and we will point you to the bond treatment that fits your hair and your plans.
What does Metal Detox do for my hair?
Metal Detox removes heavy metals and mineral buildup from your hair and scalp. Minerals from tap water and the environment can settle on hair over time, leaving it feeling coated, heavy or dull. Clearing that buildup gives your next color, treatment or styling service a cleaner starting point. Ask your stylist if your hair shows signs of buildup.
How often should I get a hair treatment?
It depends on the treatment and on how hard your hair works. Moisture and bond treatments are often repeated with color visits, while smoothing treatments are typically redone as the results soften over the following weeks or months. Your stylist will suggest a rhythm based on your hair, not a fixed schedule that applies to everyone.
Do men book hair treatments too?
Absolutely. Dry ends, frizz, sun exposure and color damage do not care about gender. Men book deep conditioning, bond treatments and smoothing for the same reasons women do: hair that feels better, behaves better and looks healthier. Short hair often needs less product and less time at the bowl, but the goal is the same.
Will a treatment get rid of split ends for good?
No treatment can join a split end back together permanently. Split End Correction by Brazilian Blowout seals and smooths split ends so they look neater and are less likely to travel up the strand. A trim is still the only way to remove them, so many guests pair the two to keep length while looking polished.
Is a treatment worth it if my hair has never been colored?
Often, yes. Heat tools, sun, swimming and hard water all wear hair down, colored or not. Uncolored hair that feels dry may benefit from deep conditioning, and frizzy hair can still be smoothed. Metal Detox can help with buildup. Your stylist will tell you honestly if your hair does not need a treatment right now.
