Tired-looking eyes, damaged hair or oily skin? Fear not. We have you covered on treatments to get you ready for Hong Kong’s summer heat.

Shhh, a boutique hair salon on Hollywood Road, pays great attention to its clients, down to the smallest details – a mug cover to keep your tea warm, soft towels and the most relaxing head massage.

While most salon stylists blow-dry your hair nicely so you can walk away looking smooth and sleek, the keratin restructuring treatment (HK$1,880/45 mins) offered at Shhh is one with lasting effect. Whether your hair is damaged from perming, colouring or bleaching, Marvin Lin – founder of the salon and a well-known stylist in Hong Kong – has a way to fix it.

The treatment restores keratin, amino acids and collagen to dry hair using products from OMG, a hair care line developed by Lin over five years and made in Japan. The ingredients are able to penetrate deeply into the cortex layer. The argan plant stem cells, for example, strengthen the hair and make it more elastic.

The process is deceptively simple: a hair wash, 10 minutes under the heater for the hair to absorb the minerals, then another wash followed by a quick blow dry. But it yields impressive results. I left with a shiny mane that was silky and bouncy, even in the humid weather.
