About

The salon was built around the idea of welcoming all textures, ethnicities, demographics and hair types, and educating each client about their own haircare needs. R&D stands for Research and Development, which the team describes as continual global training it invests in. The name also refers to the founders, Rusala and Douglas, who are named as the creative force behind the concept. The salon states its vision is to become a global leader and authority in multi-textured haircare.

A visit starts with a diagnostic room, where the team uses a Curl Integrity Compass table and the Hair-Archives digital consultation app for a three-phase analysis of the hair. Appointments are then shaped around texture, volume, length, density and condition. Consults and services cannot be booked on the same day, and a color consult is required if a client has not been seen in four or more months or is changing services.

The range covers permanent and temporary straightening and curl work, keratin treatments, hand-painted balayage and foil highlights, precision and curly cuts, styling for natural and relaxed hair, and a head spa area called the Hydra Zone. The Hydra Zone includes a Takara Belmont Yume Head Spa, a head bath and Spa Mist II steamers. Head spa rituals are powered by the Organethic Pure Care scalp system.

Services are booked a la carte and listed prices are starting points. Prepaid Atelier Series plans, haircare plans, head and hair plans, men's plans and monthly memberships are available for regular clients. The salon states it values clients' time, aims to make them feel heard and respected, and provides a safe, clean and stylish environment.

Visits open with a diagnosis and a consultation covering hair history, current condition and goals, and services are chosen for each client's texture and hair integrity rather than trends. The salon describes itself as Milbon-focused and selects products to suit each client.

The salon describes its space as safe, clean and stylish, with a dedicated diagnostic room and a head spa area.
