MASTER THE ART OF HAIR REPAIR: DISCOVER THE MANY WAYS TO USE EPRES™ IN YOUR SALON
20th Jan 2025
The patented molecular technology of epres™ is designed to repair disulfide bonds, which form the internal structure of healthy hair. Unlike acid-based bond builders, epres™ Bond Repair Treatment does not affect the pH of the chemical or colour service you are performing in salon. The formulation does not slow the chemistry of the service or hinder the desired results. Hair is left softer and stronger with less breakage and frizz. This, combined with the Biodiffusion™ technology, epres™ ensures to deliver continuous repair through each strand, even after the hair is dry.
In this blog, we break down some of the main ways you can use epres™ within your salon services. Epres™ is suitable for all hair types, meaning that it's a great option for every one of your clients.
