After hearing about it and looking at transformation photos on Instagram, you might be ready to get an Olaplex treatment. Olaplex Stand Alone Treatments should only be applied by a licensed professional stylist, Render says. (FYI: A Stand Alone Treatment uses No. 1 and No. 2.) Helpfully, Olaplex lists salons that offer services on its website. Note that some salons might offer Mini Treatments using just No. 2 and can be used as a manageability treatment with single-process color, direct dyes and more. Your colorist will be able to figure out the best option for your hair.
Neos recommends Olaplex treatments every six to eight weeks in the salon, along with the at-home treatment (No. 3) one to two times a week to keeps strands looking their best and to do the utmost repair.
The cost
Prices will vary by salon. Some salons will have a treatment price, which just includes No. 1 and No. 2 with the option of buying No. 3 separately. Others might include the price of No. 3 in the service. Prices can range from $30 up to $100 — and that's on top of any color or chemical treatments.
If you're wondering if Olaplex is actually worth it, Neos says, "I have seen immense improvements on hair that has been compromised due to over-processing/heat damage." Adding that continued use at home and in salon visits will maximize results.
