Great colour and beautiful cuts will only take you so far; the real foundation is the health of your hair.
At AW Salon in Kumeu, we offer two of the most effective professional treatments available: Kevin.Murphy and K18.
Both can be added onto any service or booked alongside a blow dry for a standalone treatment appointment.
Kevin.Murphy treatments are packed with some seriously impressive ingredients – Kakadu plum for antioxidant protection, green tea for soothing the scalp, and white willow bark for gentle exfoliation.
These treatments nourish and protect from root to tip, making them a brilliant addition to a colour service (they help seal and extend colour vibrancy) or to a regular haircut.
If your hair has been through a lot of colour, heat styling, or just the general wear and tear of daily life, a Kevin.Murphy treatment is a genuinely lovely way to reset and restore.
K18 has become something of a gold standard in the professional hair world and for good reason.
It’s a science-backed treatment that works at a molecular level to repair damage from the inside out. Unlike a conditioning mask that sits on top of the hair, K18 actually reconnects broken keratin chains within the hair structure.
If you’re planning a big colour change, recovering from damage, or want to strengthen your hair before a chemical service, this is the one to book. Every stylist in our salon swears by it.

Kevin.Murphy treatments are nourishing and conditioning. They replenish moisture, add shine, and protect the hair from environmental damage.
K18 is a repair treatment that works at a structural level, reconnecting broken bonds within the hair.
If you want deep conditioning, go Kevin.Murphy. If you want genuine structural repair, K18 is your answer.
For most people, a treatment every 4-8 weeks is a great cadence, especially if you colour regularly or use a lot of heat. If your hair is in particularly rough shape, doing it more frequently for a couple of months can make a real difference. We’ll advise you on what makes sense for your specific hair.
Yes, and we’d encourage it. Both Kevin. Murphy and K18 can be added to any colour or cut service. After the colour, a treatment helps seal the cuticle, lock in vibrancy, and leave the hair feeling amazing. It’s one of those upgrades that’s genuinely worth it.
The honest answer? Yes. Professional treatments use concentrations and actives that are not available in retail products. A successful at-home routine maintains a professional treatment that genuinely restores. They work best together, not instead of each other.
