Koinonia is actually a Greek word that roughly translates to “joyful sharing”, and Koinonia Salon aims to provide just that with its services to its customers. The services provided in-house are all inspired by Korean styling techniques, like the oh-so-popular S- and C-curl perms.

Do you have frizzy and coloured hair that can no longer withstand further damage? If you still insist on straightening your hair, try one of their signatures, Volume rebonding. Unlike usual rebonding, this treatment is said to last longer; up to three or four months. In addition, the chemicals used are intensively moisturising, causing little damage during the entire process. So bid farewell to frizzy hair!

The final highlight of the treatment is the S- or C-curl that’s applied at the roots for a subtle boost in volume, as opposed to the rather flat top you get when you rebond at regular salons.
