BKT Nanoplasty is a smoothing treatment that realigns the hair fibre with amino acids and organic acids, activated by heat, leaving hair smoother, shinier and far easier to style for three to five months. At Iron + Ivy Hair Studio in Queenstown we use BKT Nano Pro, from $450, with no waiting period before you wash your hair.
It is the modern alternative to old keratin straighteners: no strong fumes, no stiff finish, and it works on coloured, blonde and curly hair. Queenstown hair takes a beating from wind, dry winter air and beanies; this is the treatment that makes it behave.

Blow dry after smoothing
Included in the appointment
Frizzy or puffy hair: the biggest change. Most clients halve their blow-dry time.
Curly hair: Nanoplasty loosens and smooths curl rather than killing it, and it is one of the fastest-growing requests we get. You can keep some wave or go straighter depending on how it is applied. Tell your artist which you want.
Blonde and coloured hair: safe, and the shine is noticeable. Do your colour first and the Nanoplasty two weeks later, or ask us to plan both.
Fine hair: works, but we go lighter so you keep volume.
Nanoplasty
Straighter, glossiest result, longest lasting
3 to 5 months
Cezanne
Softer, more natural smoothing, gentle on fragile hair
3 to 4 months
Traditional keratin
Older chemistry, fumes, downtime; we do not offer it
Wash your hair whenever you like; there is no 72-hour wait. Use sulphate-free shampoo (we will show you which), avoid heavy oils at the root, and expect the smoothness to fade gradually rather than grow out with a line. Most clients rebook every four months.
