Smooth & Healthy
Nanoplasty &
Keratin Smoothing
Two smoothing treatments at our Randwick salon: formaldehyde-free nanoplasty, and keratin smoothing. Both tame frizz, soften the cuticle and leave hair glossy and manageable.

Frizz, humidity and difficult-to-manage hair don't have to be part of your daily routine. At Characters Hair, we offer two premium smoothing treatments: Nanoplasty and Keratin Smoothing, to leave your hair softer, shinier and easier to style while maintaining its health and integrity.

Good to Know
Frequently asked
What is nanoplasty?
Nanoplasty is a formaldehyde-free hair smoothing and rejuvenation treatment. It uses low-molecular-weight ingredients to reduce frizz, soften the hair and add shine, while conditioning the hair rather than chemically straightening it.
Do you do keratin smoothing?
Yes. Keratin smoothing takes about 2.5 hours. It smooths frizz-prone, unruly hair and makes it far quicker to blow-dry at home.
What is the difference between nanoplasty and keratin smoothing?
Both treatments smooth frizz and add shine while keeping natural movement - neither is a permanent straightener. The practical differences are that nanoplasty is formaldehyde-free. Both services are priced by hair length and take about 2.5 - 3.5 hours. Your stylist will recommend the right one for your hair type and condition at your free consultation.
How much does nanoplasty cost?
Nanoplasty is priced by hair length, from short (above the shoulders) through to extreme long. Your exact price is confirmed at your free consultation before anything is booked in.
How long do smoothing treatments last?
Longevity depends on your hair type, how often you wash it and your home care. Your stylist will give you a realistic expectation at your consultation, along with the products and routine that help it last.
Which treatment is right for me?
The best smoothing treatment depends on your hair type, its condition and the result you’d like to achieve. Every smoothing appointment at Characters Hair begins with a complimentary consultation, where our experienced stylists will assess your hair and scalp, discuss your styling routine and goals, recommend the most suitable treatment, and explain the expected results. Our goal is to recommend the treatment that delivers the healthiest, most beautiful result for your hair, not simply the most intensive option.
