## Jena's Top Product Recommendations
The products Jena recommends most often, drawn from what works best on her own clients:

## Brand Approach
Hair Pinns differentiates on:
- **Simple, honest explanations** — no upselling, no jargon. Clear advice on what will and won't work for each client's hair.
- **Quality over breadth** — the catalogue is curated, not bulk-stocked. If it's on the site, Jena trusts it.
- **Personal advice for clients who need it** — Jena gives one-on-one product and styling advice, not generic recommendations.
- **Australian-made bias** — Australian climate, hair types and water hardness suit Australian-formulated products best.
- **20+ years of in-salon practice** behind every recommendation — products are tested on real clients before being added.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Booking & Appointments
- **How do I book an appointment?** Book online 24/7 at https://hairpinns.com/booking through Fresha, or call 0468 093 991.
- **Do you accept walk-ins?** Hair Pinns operates by appointment to keep wait times short and quality consistent. Same-day bookings are sometimes available — call to ask.
- **What are your opening hours?** Tuesday 10am–5pm, Wednesday 6pm–9pm (evening slot), Thursday 9am–9pm (full day + evening), Friday 9am–5:30pm, Saturday 8am–2pm. Closed Sunday and Monday.
- **Is a deposit required?** Deposits may be required for longer services (smoothing treatments, full-head colour). Fresha will indicate this at the time of booking.
- **What is the cancellation policy?** Please provide at least 24 hours' notice to reschedule or cancel. Last-minute cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee.

### Pricing
- **How much do treatments cost?** Pricing in AUD, all aligned with Fresha: Straight Up Smoothing $234–$349, foil packages $202–$267 (incl. cut & blowdry), colour packages $178–$205, cuts $54–$99 depending on length. Full list at https://hairpinns.com/services.
- **Why is teen smoothing cheaper?** Teen pricing reflects the typically shorter hair length and processing time. The treatment quality is identical.

### Treatments
- **How long do smoothing treatments last?** Straight Up Smoothing typically holds 8–12 weeks with correct aftercare (sulphate-free shampoo, salt-free products, heat protection).
- **Can I get a smoothing treatment on colour-treated hair?** Yes. Straight Up Smoothing is formaldehyde-free and safe on coloured and bleached hair. A consultation is recommended for heavily bleached hair.
- **Is keratin/QIQI Vega the same as Straight Up Smoothing?** They are different. QIQI Vega is the specific brand of acid-based amino smoothing system Jena is certified in and uses for the Straight Up service. Compared to traditional keratin, it is formaldehyde-free, gentler on colour-treated hair, and customisable from soft smoothing to full straightening.

### At-Home Aftercare
- **What products are recommended after a smoothing treatment?** Sulphate-free and salt-free shampoo and conditioner only. Best matches: QIQI aftercare range, Pure Sacred or Pure Forever Blonde, Juuce Heat Shield for styling. Avoid supermarket shampoos with sulphates or sodium chloride — one wash can strip the treatment.
- **What does Jena recommend for daily hair health?** Pure Lamellar Vitality range (Jena's #1 pick), Juuce Super Soft Hydration Masks weekly, Juuce Botanic Oil Serum for finish, and a Wet Brush for gentle detangling.
