Why it’s done first
The Malibu Treatment is performed before a chemical service to reduce product, mineral, and environmental buildup that can interfere with coloring or chemical processing. Your stylist assesses hair and scalp to determine whether clarifying or surface cleansing is needed so subsequent chemicals work more evenly across strands and scalp.
Choosing this service adds an assessment step and cleaning phase to your appointment but helps your stylist make safer decisions about timing and product selection. Expect an appointment flow that accommodates both the preparation and the planned chemical service; treatment cost is noted separately and starts at Starting at $30.
What to expect during treatment
During your Malibu Treatment you’ll have a consultation, an evaluation of previous chemical history, and a focused clarifying process tailored to your hair condition. The salon schedules this service to fit the full process; typical service timing for the Malibu Treatment is 60 MINUTES, which allows the stylist to check hair porosity and surface condition before proceeding.
Because Hair Luxe by LauraD is convenient for commuters off I-210, many clients book before or after work. Busy family schedules also make early evenings and weekend bookings popular. If you need a before-work appointment or a pre-game stop near Sierra Lakes Park, mention timing needs when you book.
Seasonal and local considerations
Season affects why clients choose this service: the salon is busiest in May, August, and September. May bookings rise as clients prepare for summer color changes, while August and September see demand to remove chlorine, mineral, and sun buildup from summer activities, especially after time at local pools or outdoor sports.
Local context matters: residents of the Sierra Lakes community often combine errands at Sierra Lakes Marketplace or a stop at the Fontana Metrolink Station with salon visits. If you’re coming from nearby landmarks like Sierra Lakes Park or traveling the 210 Freeway, plan arrival time to accommodate the treatment plus your chemical service.
