Erik Jon, PRO + celebrity hair stylist, Sally Hershberger

I’ve been doing hair for 10 years now. I love how much a haircut can transform your look—and your confidence. Hair is so important to us, and I want to bring out the best possible version of everyone’s hair! 

Client with long black hair after haircut, blowdry, and K18 PRO service

For this look, I did one of my classic blowouts for an easy, effortless look to show off her fresh haircut. I have been using K18 regularly on this client since we met about two years ago. Her hair is significantly stronger, shinier, and less brittle, meaning I don’t have to take off as much length to achieve a healthy look.

 

I started out with the Pro Chelating Hair Complex, followed by the PRO Molecular Repair Mist. After two washes using the Detox Shampoo, her hair is feeling great. As soon as the PRO Molecular Repair Mask is applied, her hair turns into silk and is noticeably softer and stronger from root to tip with each use.

K18 professional haircare

Healthy hair = a better haircut. K18 makes my job easier and takes my cuts to the next level. As one of the first hairstylists in North America to team up with the brand back in 2018, I have seen my clients’ hair transformed with consistent, continued use over the years.


Clients with extremely fragile, overly colored hair see major growth in both length and fullness in less than a year! Whether I’m in the salon or on set, K18 is a must-have in my kit. Their lineup (paired with regular trims and an AQUIS hair towel) is the secret sauce to achieving your client’s hair goals.


Using this lineup is a huge opportunity to gain trust with your clients because they will see the results in a single use, helping you to build and maintain your clientele. If you are feeling like you aren’t seeing major results, reevaluate your application and the amount of product used. 


The PRO Molecular Repair Mist  can be applied thoroughly in big sections, shampoo twice always, then do 1-2 pumps of the PRO Molecular Repair Mask and spread it evenly all over your hands so you know you’re applying the same amount to each area. If your client has a lot of hair, go back and do another pump, then comb through after waiting the full four minutes. Personally, I like to start rough drying after three minutes to help cut down on dry time, then apply my heat styling products for the blow-dry pre-haircut. The K18 collection addresses such a wide range of concerns that it can be a beneficial addition to any service.
