From ₹3,500 · 3 hrs+ · 10,000+ treatments performed, lasts 3–4 months, no maintenance

What is the Aqua Hair Treatment and how does it work?

Aqua is performed in-salon over a session of 3 hours or more, and is priced by hair length — from 12 inches up to 28 inches. Unlike a regular hair spa, whose effects fade in days, the result holds for 3–4 months without any maintenance routine, special products, or follow-up visits. A shorter spa version, the Aqua Hair Spa (Rs. 2,500+, 2.5 hrs+), is also on the menu.

All hair types — that is the salon's stated position. It suits anyone who wants hair spa results that hold for months rather than days, without committing to aftercare products or maintenance appointments.

Who should avoid it: The reference materials list no specific contraindications. If your hair is recently coloured, chemically treated, or your scalp is sensitive, mention it when booking — the team assesses suitability at the chair before starting.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the Aqua Hair Treatment last?

It lasts 3–4 months with no maintenance. There is no aftercare routine, special shampoo, or follow-up appointment needed to hold the result.

How much does the Aqua Hair Treatment cost?

It starts at Rs. 3,500 and is priced by hair length: Rs. 3,500–3,700 for 12-inch hair, rising in steps to Rs. 6,200–6,500 for 28-inch hair. Choosing a backwash reduces the price by Rs. 1,000–1,200.

Is the Aqua treatment safe for coloured hair?

The salon's position is that Aqua suits all hair types. If your hair is recently coloured, tell the team when booking — suitability is confirmed at the chair before the treatment starts.

Aqua treatment vs smoothening — what's the difference?

Aqua is a semi-permanent hair spa, not a chemical straightening or smoothening service — it does not restructure your hair. It delivers spa-level nourishment that holds for 3–4 months; if you want straightening, that is a separate service on the menu.

How long does the appointment take?

Plan for 3 hours or more for the full Aqua Hair Treatment. The shorter Aqua Hair Spa takes about 2.5 hours or more.

What is the difference between the Aqua Hair Treatment and the Aqua Hair Spa?

The Aqua Hair Treatment (Rs. 3,500+, 3 hrs+) is the full semi-permanent service, priced by hair length. The Aqua Hair Spa (Rs. 2,500+, 2.5 hrs+) is a shorter spa session. The team can advise at booking which one fits your hair.

How many Aqua treatments has Kara Salon done?

Over 10,000 Aqua Hair Treatments have been performed at Kara Salon — it is the salon's flagship signature service.

Does Aqua need any maintenance or special products afterwards?

No. The salon's stated benefit of Aqua is that it requires no maintenance for the 3–4 months it lasts.

I have been doing Aqua Spa at Kara since 2018 — this is my fourth time. The quality is amazing and the detailing they do is outstanding. The best part is how it stays for a longer period and looks very natural.
