Molecular peptide repair in 4 minutes.
K18 works at a molecular level — it repairs the disulphide bonds broken by technical services, lightening and heat. At Ikonomakis Hair Atelier in Chalandri, Athens, it is the foundation of every complex colour experience, and it starts from €45. Our whole team speaks English.
What is the K18 hair treatment, and how is it different from other repair treatments? It is a peptide-based molecular treatment that reconnects broken keratin bonds inside the hair in just 4 minutes, with no heat and no formaldehyde. It does not cover damage on the surface — it repairs it from within. At Ikonomakis Hair Atelier in Chalandri, Athens, K18 starts from €45.
K18 is based on a specific peptide (K18Peptide™) that recognises and attaches to the points where the keratin chain has broken, restoring it to its natural structure. At Ikonomakis Hair Atelier it is applied to clean, towel-dried hair, straight after rinsing out any technical service — colour, colour removal, balayage. No heat is needed and there is no waiting time beyond the four minutes, which makes it a realistic option even within a busy colour appointment.
K18 was designed for hair that has suffered chemical or heat fatigue: blonde bases after colour removal, hair with a history of repeated colouring, or hair that has lost its elasticity and snaps easily when stretched. It is not a treatment for already healthy, natural hair — adding it there does not have the same impact. Its value is clear when hair has a "tired" texture, dullness or resistance when combing: signs that the internal structure has been damaged, not just the surface.
Before each application, we check the hair by sight and touch — elasticity, porosity and the history of chemical services. In more complex cases, where the damage is hard to spot or affects specific areas of the hair, we may suggest a Face Metrics Pro analysis (€100, 45 minutes) as a complementary tool, so the decision on treatment intensity and frequency is based on data, not only on judgement.
The treatment starts from €45 and takes around 30 minutes in total, including preparation. The price is all-inclusive, with no hidden charges for products or technical materials. As a protocol treatment, K18 is usually built into every colour visit for long-term protection, while for more intensive repair it can be repeated on its own every 4-6 weeks, depending on the level of damage. For other options, see hair treatments in Athens and hair botox in Athens.
In most salons, K18 is offered as an optional add-on after colour, with a standard time and dose. At Ikonomakis Hair Atelier it is part of the logic of the complex colour experience: the application is adapted to the type of damage identified at the consultation, not to a single protocol. That means a different amount, different timing within the colour process and, in some cases, a combination with other repair treatments, so the result is measurable rather than just looking better for a few days. It is a key part of our blonde specialist service.
