Queenstown’s Olaplex Specialists — Bond Building for Healthier Hair

Olaplex has redefined what’s possible in hair health — and at Iron + Ivy Hair Studio, we’ve been using it across our services since it changed the industry. Whether as a standalone treatment or added to your colour appointment, Olaplex is the most effective bond-building system available, and it’s a cornerstone of how we keep our clients’ hair healthy.
What Is Olaplex?
Olaplex is a patented bond-building system that works at a molecular level to find, link, and repair broken disulphide bonds in the hair — the chemical bonds that give your hair its strength and structure. When hair is chemically treated (coloured, lightened, permed, or relaxed), these bonds are disrupted. Olaplex rebuilds them.
The result: stronger, healthier, softer, and more resilient hair — even after chemical services.
Our Olaplex Services
Olaplex Bonding Treatment (Standalone)
A professional in-salon Olaplex treatment applied to clean, towel-dried hair. Ideal for clients experiencing breakage, weakness, over-processing, or general damage — or as a regular maintenance treatment to keep colour-treated hair in peak condition.
Pricing from $49.
K20 Repair Treatment
A complementary professional repair treatment that works alongside Olaplex for clients with more significant damage or those seeking maximum restorative results.
Pricing from $65.
Olaplex + K20 Repair Combo
The ultimate repair package — Olaplex and K20 combined for clients who want the deepest level of bond repair and restoration available.
Pricing from $90.
Olaplex As An Add-On to Colour
Every lightening and colour service at Iron + Ivy can include Olaplex as an in-service treatment. Adding Olaplex to your balayage, foils, or colour correction appointment means the bond-building process happens throughout your colour service — protecting and rebuilding the hair from the moment the colour goes on.
We strongly recommend Olaplex for:
• Balayage and bleach-based services
• Colour correction
• Any client with previously damaged or fine hair
• Regular colour clients who want to maintain long-term hair health
Does Olaplex Actually Work?
Yes — and the science backs it up. Olaplex’s patented active ingredient (Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate) is the first compound proven to work on a molecular level to repair hair bonds. It’s not a conditioning treatment or a mask — it actually repairs structural damage that other products can’t reach.
Our clients consistently report stronger, shinier, more manageable hair after Olaplex services. We also stock the full Olaplex home care range in-salon for clients who want to continue their bond-building routine between appointments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Olaplex and how does it work?
Olaplex is a patented bond-building system that works at a molecular level to find and repair the broken bonds that give hair its strength. Chemical services like colour and lightening disrupt those bonds; Olaplex rebuilds them, leaving hair stronger, softer and more resilient.
Is Olaplex worth it?
If your hair is coloured, lightened, or feeling weak or over-processed, it genuinely is — it’s the most effective bond-builder available and we’ve used it since it changed the industry. We make the full case in Why Hair Treatments Like Olaplex Are Worth It.
What’s the difference between Olaplex and K18 or K20?
They’re all professional repair treatments with slightly different chemistry, and they can work alone or together for hair that needs extra love. Our comparison Olaplex vs K18 helps you choose, and we’ll always recommend the best fit at your appointment.
Can I add Olaplex to my colour appointment?
Yes, and many of our clients do — adding Olaplex during colour helps protect your hair through the chemical process, so you walk out with colour that looks incredible and hair that feels it too.
How much does an Olaplex treatment cost?
It depends on whether it’s a standalone treatment or added to another service, so we’ll confirm pricing when you book — just ask and your stylist will talk you through the options.
How often should I have an Olaplex treatment?
It depends on your hair and how much chemical work it’s had — as a regular maintenance treatment it’s a lovely way to keep colour-treated hair in peak condition. We’ll suggest a rhythm that fits at your appointment.
