Silk press in Gillingham
Straight, glossy and moving — with no chemicals, so your curls come back when you wash. First visit £120, maintenance from £90.
What happens
Cleanse
Scalp cleanse and a clarifying shampoo to lift build-up, then a moisture shampoo.
Treat
Olaplex bond builder and a deep conditioning treatment. Both included on your first visit.
Blow dry
A smooth, tension blow dry sets the foundation — this is where the sleekness comes from.
Press
Small sections, one pass, the right heat for your hair. Trim or cut can be added on.
First visit or maintenance?
If you've never had a silk press with Jazz, book the First Visit (£120, 3 hours). It includes everything — scalp cleanse, clarifying and moisture shampoos, Olaplex and deep conditioning — and gives Jazz time to properly assess your hair and texture before applying any heat.
Once you're a returning client, book the Maintenance silk press (from £90). Same care, same finish, priced by length: short £90, medium £95, long £100. Hair below the bra strap or extremely thick hair takes the Extra Long & Density add-on (£20).
A silk press isn't a chemical service. It will last around two to three weeks, and your natural curl pattern returns as soon as the hair gets wet. Wrap at night, keep it dry, and avoid the gym on day one if you want the full run.

Silk press, answered
Will it damage my curls?
Not when it's done properly. Jazz uses a bond builder and treatment before any heat, and presses in one pass at the right temperature for your hair. A silk press is temporary — your curls return on the next wash.
Can I add a trim?
Yes. Add a Trim or Cut (from £25, 45 minutes) when you book and it's done at the press stage.
How do I keep it sleek?
Wrap it in a silk scarf at night, keep it dry in the shower and skip heavy products. Humidity and sweat will bring the curl back sooner.
How long do I need?
Allow 3 hours for a first visit and 2¾–3 hours for maintenance, depending on length. Every appointment is with Jazz from start to finish.
