The YHN Studio Difference

A dedicated space, just for hair smoothing.

YOURHAIRNOMAD is Ottawa's first practice built entirely around professional hair smoothing — a private studio with one focus, one client at a time.

True Specialization

Most Ottawa salons offer everything — cut, colour, extensions, treatments. YOURHAIRNOMAD does only smoothing, which means real, focused expertise.

Private Studio Setting

Not a large, busy salon floor with several stylists — a personalized, one-on-one experience in a private studio.

Mobile Service Available

Appointments come to you across Ottawa–Gatineau — flexibility a fixed salon location can't offer.

The Full Range

Vegan keratin, hair botox, nanoplastia, protein, Japanese straightening — the right treatment for your hair, not a one-size option.

Consultative Approach

Every visit starts with a real assessment of your hair before any treatment is recommended — never a generic upsell.

Ottawa's First

The first Ottawa practice dedicated entirely to hair smoothing treatments, studio-based from day one.

In The Studio

What are you treating?

Frizzy hair before treatment
Frizz & Humidity

Frizz isn't a hair type. It's a cuticle problem.

Raised cuticles let moisture in and structure out. Vegan keratin and hair botox smooth and seal the cuticle layer, so hair holds its shape through Ottawa's humidity swings instead of fighting it.

Vegan KeratinHair BotoxProtein

Dry, brittle hair texture
Dryness & Dullness

Dry hair needs structure, not just oil.

Protein treatments rebuild internal bonds that heat, colour, and weather strip away, restoring the density and shine that surface products can't reach. Hair botox works well here too, adding moisture and softness in the same visit.

Protein TreatmentHair Botox

Checking hair density and breakage
Thinning & Breakage

Protecting what's already fragile.

For hair that's thinning or prone to breakage, treatment starts with an honest consultation — formaldehyde-free, low-heat protocols that strengthen strands rather than stress them further.

NanoplastiaProtein Treatment

Long, smooth, healthy hair
Length Retention

The longer it grows, the more it needs.

Length multiplies years of damage at the ends. Japanese straightening and nanoplastia smooth the full length while keeping movement — so hair keeps growing instead of breaking off.

Different hair types and textures
Every Texture

Curly, coily, straight — the protocol adapts to you.

Every consultation starts from your hair's actual texture and history, not a one-size treatment. That's the advantage of a specialist who does only this, one client at a time.

How A Visit Works

Three steps. One specialist, start to finish.

01

Private Consultation

We look at your hair's history, texture, and goals together before choosing a treatment — never the other way around.

02

The Treatment

Applied in the studio, one client at a time, using formaldehyde-free formulas suited to your hair type and density.

03

Aftercare Plan

You leave with a clear, personal maintenance routine — not just a receipt — so the result actually lasts.

Treatments

Five treatments.
One focus.

Vegan Keratin

Results last 3–5 months

A cruelty-free keratin treatment — just as smoothing and long-lasting as traditional keratin, without animal-derived ingredients.

$349–$549

Hair Botox

Results last 2–4 months

Deep-conditioning treatment that fills and smooths the hair shaft for softer, glossier strands.

$299–$499

Nanoplastia

Results last 4–6 months

A gentler, low-heat smoothing system suited to fine, sensitized, or previously treated hair.

$349–$599

Protein Treatment

Results last 8–12 weeks

Rebuilds internal bonds and structure for hair that's dry, brittle, or breaking.

$329–$529

Japanese Straightening

Permanent — touch-ups as hair grows

Permanent straightening for maximum smoothness and long-term manageability.

$349–$599

Longevity depends on hair history, homecare, and how well the aftercare plan is followed — discussed in full at your private consultation. Afterpay available on every treatment.

Once you've been treated at YOURHAIRNOMAD, maintaining your results comes at a preferential returning-client rate — reviewed and confirmed together at your next visit.

Your hair is an investment, not an expense.

Great hair pays you back every day — in time saved, in confidence, in how you show up. Afterpay lets you treat it that way: book your treatment today and split the cost into 4 interest-free payments, spread over six weeks. No interest, no hidden fees, approved instantly at checkout.

"Rym did my protein treatment and I absolutely love the results. Even though she had a busy schedule, she made time for me, which I really appreciated. She was so kind and took her time, paying attention to every detail. She even included a complimentary trim. Highly recommend her services, and I'll definitely be coming back!"

Studio Life

Why I call myself Ottawa's first — and what that doesn't mean

"First" isn't a claim about talent or years in the industry. It's about structure: a dedicated studio, one specialty, full attention. Here's why that distinction matters for your results.
