When you think about going to the salon, cut and color are probably the first things that come to mind. But, if you’re dealing with damaged hair, salon hair treatments can sometimes be just as transformative.
They’re the unsung heroes of your hair regimen, giving you more targeted results than you’ll receive from an at-home hair mask. So, why not add one of these Wella Professionals hair treatments to your next appointment? There’s something for every hair type…
1. Best Hair Treatment For Severely Damaged Hair: ULTIMATE REPAIR Care Service
If you’re on a hair repair journey, this intensive treatment is a must-do. It targets both the inner cortex and outer layer of the hair to improve the condition from the inside out.

What to expect:
Your stylist will wash, condition and treat your hair to products from the ULTIMATE REPAIR regimen, including the iconic Miracle Hair Rescue. Powered by AHA and Omega-9 – a sumptuous, skincare-inspired blend – it repairs hair damage in 90 seconds¹, paving the way for a healthier-looking blow-dry.

2. Best Hair Treatment For Dry, Frizzy Hair: ULTIMATE SMOOTH Care Service
If leaving the salon with a silky shine blow-dry is your goal, this super-smoothing service will help you nail that commercial-worthy swish. Smoothness starts from within, so the ULTIMATE SMOOTH Care Service works to nourish frizz-prone hair both inside and outside the hair shaft. It injects strands with the silkening powers of its Squalane and Omega-9 blend, helping to target fluff and flyaways for a sleeker look.
What to expect:
This is an indulgent care service that draws on the most lustrous blends from ULTIMATE SMOOTH, including the metal-purifying shampoo, a unique mask-oil blend and Miracle Oil Serum to finish.

3. Best Hair Treatment for Split Ends: ULTIMATE REPAIR Cut & Seal Service
Fixing split ends doesn’t always mean losing length to a dramatic cut. Depending on how severe the splits are, your stylist may be able to treat them – and maintain long hair – with a Cut & Seal Service. It’s like an invisible cut with an added dose of care, helping to precisely target untidy ends, then ‘seal’ them to prevent future breakage.
What to expect:
Your Wella stylist will home in on the very tips of your hair, carefully trimming splits away while keeping as much length intact as possible. Then, after washing and conditioning your hair, they’ll mist it with ULTIMATE REPAIR Miracle Hair Rescue. This is the ‘sealing’ stage; a leave-in treatment that gives you up to 99% less breakage². Take this supercharged elixir home with you to stay a step ahead of future split ends.
Key benefits:
- Tidier ends without losing length
- Up to 99% less breakage²
- An invisible cut with a ‘your hair but healthier’ finish
Best for:
- Hair prone to breakage and split ends
- Anyone on a hair growth journey
4. Best Hair Treatment For Dull Hair: SHINEFINITY Acidic Color Glaze
Some of the same things that cause damage – like UV rays and heat styling – can also dull your color. So, if your shade is looking a little lackluster or brassy, a glossing service is your ideal hair treatment. The SHINEFINITY Acidic Color Glaze refines the tones, corrects unwanted warmth, and restores shine in one fell swoop. With zero damage and zero lift, it breathes new life into your dream shade in just 20 minutes.
What to expect:
Your colorist will mix up a SHINEFINITY shade that targets your goals, whether that’s enriching the base, removing brassiness or creating a mirror-like sheen. Then, they’ll apply your formula all through dry or (for a sheerer finish) damp hair, let it develop, and rinse thoroughly. Combine with the ULTIMATE SMOOTH Care Service for added glow.
Key benefits:
- Gives you up to 3x shinier hair⁵
- A translucent veil of color to correct and/or enhance
- Zero damage and zero lift
- Ideal for virgin hair, previously colored hair, or hair that’s freshly lightened
Best for:
- All hair colors and hair types
- Shine-seekers dealing with dullness
- Hair that’s prone to brassiness
- Anyone wanting damage-free color
