Private home salon · Manchester
Keratin smoothing, collagen straightening, nanoplastia, hair botox and bioplastia, plus colour and cuts, in a private home salon in Manchester. For stylists: hands-on 1-to-1 training in the smoothing treatments, in English or Polish.
Smoothing & rebuilding
One straightens, one rebuilds, the rest sit in between. Which one is right depends on your hair, what has been done to it before, and what you want from it. That is decided at the consultation, not from a menu.
Sleek and glossy
Tops up the keratin your hair is built from and closes the cuticle, so it dries faster, frizzes less and looks glossy. Made for wavy hair, lightly damaged included, that wants a glass-like finish rather than poker-straight. Lasts 3 to 6 months.

Keratin smoothing
Long, dry and dull to smooth and glossy
Stronger than keratin, and it works on lightened hair
Smooths harder than keratin, drops the curl a long way and takes the frizz out, though it is not a straightening product in the way nanoplastia is. It is the treatment I reach for when hair has been bleached, highlighted or balayaged and wants to be smoother, calmer and easier to manage. Lasts 3 to 6 months, sometimes up to 9 with very good home care.

Collagen straightening
Bleached blonde, frizz gone, smoothed without more damage
Lasting straightening
A formaldehyde-free treatment based on acids and amino acids. It restructures the hair so it sits straight, with natural movement and shine, and often lifts the colour by one to three tones. Made for healthy curly or coily hair that has never been bleached. Lasts 3 to 9 months.

Nanoplastia
Thick, frizzy hair to straight and glossy
Deep rebuild
A deep protein rebuild for damaged, bleached or porous hair. Cysteine, argan oil and collagen are sealed in for softness and shine, and curls stay curly. Hair botox is only the name the trade uses: no injections, no botulinum toxin, nothing medical about it. Lasts 2 to 4 months.

Hair botox
Split, tired lengths rebuilt and shining (no injections, no botulinum toxin)
Smoothing plus repair
Rebuilding with light smoothing, based on keratin, jojoba oil and tamarind. Made for wavy, dry or lightly damaged hair that wants its condition back and a softer wave. Lasts 2 to 4 months.

Bioplastia
Dry, frizzy lengths rebuilt and smoothed
Colour & cuts
Every colour service includes a deep conditioning treatment. Every lightening service has bond protection added to the lightener, collagen, Olaplex or a protein treatment, to limit the damage while the hair is being lightened.
Hand-painted, sun-kissed highlights with a soft, low-maintenance grow-out.
Fine hair separated with airflow before colouring, for feather-light, seamless highlights.
Classic foil work to add dimension, depth and movement.
All-over colour or a root refresh to keep your shade fresh.
Toners and glosses to perfect the shade and add shine.
Gradient colour from darker roots to lighter ends, subtle or bold.
Fixing unwanted tones, banding or colour gone wrong, after a full consultation.
Precision cuts suited to your face shape, texture and morning routine.
Starting prices for colour, cuts and every treatment are in the price list below. Colour itself I quote individually, after a photo, because the price depends on where your hair starts and where you want it to go.
Price list
Every figure below is a starting price. What you pay depends on the treatment, on how long and how thick your hair is, and on the result you want. You get the exact price before we start, never after.
Send me three things on WhatsApp and I will come back with a proper quote instead of a vague range: a photo of your hair as it looks now, a photo of what you want, and a short history of what has been done to it, colour and treatments included.
About
Hair was what I loved as a child, but life kept pointing me elsewhere. Then I had nanoplastia done, fell for it completely, and knew I wanted to do these treatments myself. After that it snowballed: I went deep into smoothing and rebuilding, then added courses in colouring and cutting.
I have not sat back since. I am still training, still testing new products, still looking for what works better than what I used last year. If there is something better out there for your hair, I want to be the one who already knows about it.
I teach because these treatments are still barely known here in the UK. I want other stylists to grow, to add something new to what they offer, and to have their own clients walk out with hair they did not think they could have. Every woman deserves that Hollywood hair.
Every appointment here is yours alone. No double booking, no waiting while another client is rinsed, no rushing. We start with a proper look at your hair, what has been done to it before and what you want from it, and only then decide on the treatment. Sometimes that means telling you the treatment you came in for is the wrong one for your hair. I would rather say that than take the booking.
Training runs the same way: one stylist at a time, the whole day built around her, her hands and her questions. Individual attention is the point, in the salon and in teaching.
For the smoothing treatments I work on BB|One professional systems. Their lines are formaldehyde-free, which matters to me because I breathe the same air as my clients, all day, every day. For colour and for rebuilding work I do not tie myself to one brand. I pick the line that suits the hair in front of me.

Clients
Real clients, in their own words. Every review here is public on my Facebook page or my Google profile.
★★★★★
“I trained with Magda in keratin and bioplastia and I recommend it wholeheartedly. Very professional and above all practical: how to do the treatments, how to choose the right products, how to work. Everything was explained properly and there was no stress. After the course I feel far more confident doing keratin and bioplastia.”
★★★★★
“Professional training that combined solid theory with a genuinely useful practical part. I got concrete guidance on doing the treatments properly, choosing products consciously and working with different hair types, the kind of information I use directly in my everyday work. It gave me more confidence with the treatments and let me widen my offer professionally.”
★★★★★
“I recently completed training with Magda in professional hair straightening and restorative treatments, and it was one of the best decisions I could have made for my career. She explained everything clearly and in detail, and made sure I understood not only how to perform the treatments, but also how to choose the right treatment for each client and their hair condition. The support does not end when the training day is over: I know I can always message or call her with a question.”
★★★★★
“Absolutely amazing experience. My hair was in such poor condition that I genuinely thought I would have to cut most of it off. She completely transformed it and saved my long hair, which meant so much to me. The result was absolutely beautiful and, even better, it lasted around four months. My hair looked healthier, smoother and so much more manageable. She is incredibly skilled, professional and clearly knows exactly what she is doing.”
★★★★★
“I absolutely love getting my Nanoplastia done by Magdalena. I have had it done 4 times now, and every single time I have been so happy with the results. There is nothing better than waking up and not having to straighten your hair, because it is already smooth and manageable.”
★★★★★
“Amazing customer service, products, prices and results! I recommend Beauty Hive for any hair treatment, but particularly Nanoplastia, which I have had done multiple times here.”
★★★★★
“Magda is amazing! Every time I go to her to get my hair done I go home with beautiful hair. I have been going to her for a few years and she is very professional, friendly and helpful.”
★★★★★
“I trained with Magda back in July. Very professional and very knowledgeable, passionate about her work. Highly recommend.”
★★★★★
“I was feeling very stressed because I previously had a bad experience with another hairdresser. Magda explained everything calmly and clearly, which instantly made me feel safe. I had the Air Touch technique done and the colour turned out exactly like the inspiration I gave. The volume she created on my fine hair honestly amazed me.”
★★★★★
“Magda is the best in looking after hair. She always professionally checks hair's structure before she applies the products. I've had many keratin treatments in Poland because I couldn't find anyone who could step up the mark in UK, until now. My hair looks healthy and shiny for months (5 months since last treatment).”
★★★★★
“Amazing results, highly recommended.”
★★★★★
“I had my hair done today by an incredibly talented hairdresser, and I honestly couldn't be happier. She listened carefully, explained everything clearly, and brought my vision to life even better than I imagined. Absolutely stunning hair that made me feel amazing.”
★★★★★
“Highly recommend, a hairdresser with real passion. Professional approach, beautiful cut and colour, hair left properly nourished, advice at the highest level, and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I left happy, knowing my hair had been truly looked after. The best hairdresser I have been to.”
★★★★★
“I highly recommend Magda. She is extremely friendly, fully professional, and has a fantastic approach to her clients. She is always happy to offer advice, and the high quality of service combined with a lovely, welcoming atmosphere makes it a real pleasure to come back.”
★★★★★
“I highly recommend this hair salon. The colouring is beautiful, the haircuts are precise, and the treatments are amazing. I have had hair botox, keratin and nanoplasty, and my hair has looked and felt fantastic every time. I would not trust my hair with anyone else.”

Questions
That is what the consultation is for. In short: bleached or highlighted hair points to hair botox for condition, or collagen straightening if you want it smooth with the curl dropped a long way, and never to nanoplastia. Healthy, never-lightened curly hair that wants to be properly straight points to nanoplastia. Wavy hair that wants sleek and glossy points to keratin. Hair that wants condition with a little smoothing points to bioplastia. Send a photo on WhatsApp and I will tell you what I think before you book.
For colour, yes, at least 48 hours before the appointment. For smoothing treatments it depends on the product; where the manufacturer asks for one, we do one, properly, and record it. A patch test that is skipped or done for show protects nobody.
