The key reason our clients choose nanoplasty over keratin is simple: it actually improves the health of your hair while smoothing it. Most smoothing treatments work by coating the hair cuticle, they make hair look smooth but don’t address the underlying damage. Nanoplasty penetrates the cortex, rebuilding the protein structure from within.
For women with colour-treated, highlighted, or bleached hair, this is especially important. Keratin and Brazilian blowout treatments can cause colour to fade significantly. Nanoplasty is colour-safe and can actually help colour last longer by sealing the cuticle.
And for anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, nanoplasty is the only major smoothing treatment recommended as safe. The formaldehyde found in many keratin treatments is a known concern during pregnancy, while nanoplasty uses only natural, amino acid-based ingredients.
Nanoplasty works beautifully on virtually every hair type, but the results look a little different depending on your natural texture:
Nanoplasty significantly reduces curl, giving you smooth, manageable hair with a soft wave or straightened finish depending on how it’s applied. It won’t eliminate your natural curl pattern permanently, when the treatment grows out, your natural texture returns gradually. Perfect for women who want the option of both smooth and curly hair throughout the life of the treatment.
For wavy or frizzy hair types, nanoplasty is transformative. Expect dramatically reduced frizz, defined and smooth texture, and hair that air-dries beautifully without the usual battle. Most clients with wavy hair find they barely need to style at all after the treatment.
Thick and coarse hair responds exceptionally well to nanoplasty. The treatment makes the hair shaft more flexible and easier to manage, significantly cutting down blow-dry time and making the hair feel lighter and silkier to the touch.
Unlike keratin treatments, which can sometimes weigh fine hair down and make it appear limp, nanoplasty is suitable for fine hair. Because it works by strengthening the hair rather than coating it, the result is finer hair that looks fuller, healthier, and smoother, without the heaviness.
Nanoplasty is safe for colour-treated hair and can actually help preserve your colour by sealing the cuticle. If you’re planning to colour and nanoplasty, we recommend doing the colour first and allowing 2 weeks before the nanoplasty treatment.

Alice is amazing! I had Nanoplasty by her a few months ago and she just did another amazing hair cut today. I am so glad I found her! She has such great attention to detail.
I’ve been visiting The Cutting Room for years now and love the atmosphere and professionalism of all the staff. Love their advice and how every experience is truly relaxing. They really are the experts in colour and I love, love my nanoplasty. Thank you ladies, love your work.
I used to spend nearly an hour every morning trying to straighten my hair and remove the frizzieness. Since I had nanoplasty done at The Cutting Room, I don’t even dry it at all!! It’s the healthiest it’s even been and I love it!! The girls are all friendly and amazing at what they do.
How long does nanoplasty last?
Nanoplasty results typically last 6–9 months. The longevity depends on your hair type, how well you follow the aftercare routine, and how frequently you wash your hair. Using sulfate-free shampoo and avoiding frequent washing in the first few weeks after treatment will help maximise your results.
Is nanoplasty safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?
Yes, nanoplasty is considered safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Unlike traditional keratin treatments, which can contain formaldehyde or other harsh chemicals, nanoplasty is 100% formaldehyde-free and uses only amino acids and natural proteins. We always recommend consulting your midwife or OB before any salon treatment during pregnancy, but nanoplasty is widely regarded as the safest smoothing option available.
What is the difference between nanoplasty and keratin treatment?
The main differences are: (1) Nanoplasty is completely formaldehyde-free; keratin often contains it. (2) Nanoplasty works by penetrating inside the hair shaft and rebuilding its protein structure; keratin coats the outside. (3) Nanoplasty retains your hair’s natural movement while reducing frizz; keratin can make hair very straight and stiff. (4) Nanoplasty is colour-safe and vegan-friendly; keratin can fade colour. (5) Nanoplasty is safe during pregnancy; keratin is not recommended.
Does nanoplasty damage hair?
No, nanoplasty is one of the few hair treatments that actively improves hair health. Rather than damaging the hair structure, it rebuilds it. The amino acids and proteins in the formula penetrate the
hair cortex and repair damaged bonds. Most clients find their hair is in significantly better condition after nanoplasty than before.
Can I colour my hair before or after nanoplasty?
Yes, with some timing considerations. If you want to both colour and nanoplasty your hair, we recommend doing the colour first and waiting at least 2 weeks before the nanoplasty treatment. This allows the colour to fully set before we seal the cuticle. Nanoplasty is colour-safe and will actually help your colour last longer by sealing the cuticle
How much does nanoplasty cost in Sydney?
At The Cutting Room in Riverstone, nanoplasty starts from $350 for short hair (to your hairline), $450 for medium length hair, $500 for long hair, and $600 for extra long or thick hair. The treatment takes 2–3.5 hours depending on hair length and density. We recommend booking a free consultation first to confirm pricing for your specific hair.
Can I wash my hair after nanoplasty?
You should wait at least 72 hours before washing your hair after nanoplasty. This is the critical bonding period for the treatment. After 72 hours, wash with a sulfate-free, salt-free shampoo to preserve the results.
How do I know if nanoplasty is right for my hair?
Nanoplasty suits almost all hair types, curly, wavy, frizzy, thick, fine, and colour-treated hair all respond well to the treatment. The main consideration is your goal: if you want 100% frizz elimination and smoother, more manageable hair while retaining some natural movement, nanoplasty is ideal. If you want completely straight, board-flat hair with no movement, a stronger treatment may suit you better. We offer free consultations at The Cutting Room to help you find the right solution.
Will nanoplasty make my hair completely straight?
Nanoplasty significantly reduces curl and frizz, but the result depends on your natural hair type. For wavy and frizzy hair, it produces a very smooth, straight result. For tighter curls and coils, it relaxes the curl considerably while maintaining some natural movement. If you want completely straight, flat hair, we can discuss whether a stronger formulation or alternative treatment is better suited to your goals.
Can I do nanoplasty on bleached or highlighted hair?
Yes, nanoplasty is safe and beneficial for bleached and highlighted hair. In fact, it’s particularly valuable for chemically processed hair because the amino acids help rebuild the protein bonds that bleach can break down. Your hair may feel noticeably stronger and healthier after the treatment.
How soon can I exercise after nanoplasty?
After the initial 72-hour period, you can return to normal exercise. During the first 72 hours, avoid activities that cause heavy sweating as sweat (being water-based) can interfere with the bonding process. After the first week, normal exercise and sweating is completely fine.ach can break down. Your hair may feel noticeably stronger and healthier after the treatment.
How long does the nanoplasty appointment take?
A nanoplasty appointment at The Cutting Room takes between 2 and 3.5 hours depending on your hair length and density. Short hair is typically on the shorter end; long or very thick hair will take closer to 3.5 hours. We’ll give you a more accurate time estimate during your consultation.
Do I need a consultation before booking nanoplasty?
We strongly recommend a consultation before your first nanoplasty appointment, especially if you have heavily bleached, damaged, or chemically treated hair. Consultations are complimentary at
The Cutting Room. During the consultation, we’ll assess your hair health, discuss your goals, confirm suitability, and give you an accurate quote.
Is nanoplasty vegan?
Yes, nanoplasty is vegan-friendly and cruelty-free. The treatment uses amino acids and proteins derived from plant sources, with no animal-derived ingredients.
