The Add-On Treatments Worth Booking at Your Next Salon Visit

You're already coming in for your color or cut. You've carved out the time, you're in the chair, and you want to leave feeling genuinely good about your hair. That's exactly where these treatments come in.

We've added three professional add-on treatments to the menu at Maude, and they're worth knowing about before your next appointment. Each one takes about five minutes, works with any service, and delivers the kind of results that make you notice your hair in the best way, soft, shiny, smooth, and looking like it actually has its life together.

Here's a breakdown of all three and who they're really made for.

QOAT Color Topcoat

If you invest in your hair color, this one is for you. QOAT is a professional haircolor topcoat applied at the end of your service to seal and protect everything your stylist just created. It boosts shine, adds smoothness, and defends against the everyday things that cause color to fade faster, like water, heat, and sun exposure.

Who it's for: Anyone getting a color service, including custom color, highlights, dimensional color, grey blending, balayage, or a gloss treatment. It's also a beautiful add-on after a cut if your hair needs a shine and smoothness boost.

You don't have to do anything differently. It's applied before you leave the chair and takes just a few minutes. The payoff is color that holds its tone longer and hair that looks polished between visits.

R+Co Bond Building Intense Repair Treatment

This one goes deeper. If your hair has been through repeated color services, heat styling, or just the general wear of daily life, the bond-building treatment addresses the structural damage that causes breakage, dullness, and that rough, straw-like texture some of us know too well.

In five minutes, it fortifies damaged disulfide bonds from the inside out, leaving hair three times stronger and noticeably smoother and shinier after just one application. Color vibrancy improves too, which makes it a natural pairing with any color appointment.

Who it's for: Clients with color-treated, chemically processed, or heat-damaged hair. If your hair snaps easily, looks dull even after styling, or has been through a lot of lightening services over time, this treatment was made for you. It pairs especially well with blonding services, highlights, and custom color appointments, though it works beautifully after a precision cut too.

This is the kind of treatment that makes you understand what your hair is supposed to feel like.

R+Co Hydration Intense Moisture + Deep Repair Treatment

For anyone whose main complaint is dryness, frizz, or hair that just refuses to behave, this is the one to try. It uses a blend of lactic acid, vegan peptides, and jojoba silk to deeply moisturize and smooth from within, delivering sixteen times more hydration and noticeably better frizz control after a single use.

You walk out with hair that's softer, shinier, and easier to manage, and the effects build over time with continued use.

Who it's for: This one is ideal for naturally dry or coarse hair, anyone dealing with frizz year-round, and clients who color or highlight their hair and notice increased dryness between visits. It's a great pairing with color services, grey blending, highlights, and cut appointments. If you've been struggling to get your blowout to last or your hair just never feels quite moisturized enough, this treatment is worth adding.

How to Add One to Your Appointment

All three treatments are available as add-ons to your existing service at Maude in Herndon. When you book your color appointment, haircut, highlights, blonding service, gloss, or grey blending visit, just select the treatment you're interested in or mention it to your stylist when you arrive. They'll help you figure out which one makes the most sense for what your hair needs right now.

Taking care of your hair is taking care of yourself. These treatments are a small way to make your appointment feel like even more of a reset, and to leave the salon knowing your hair has everything it needs until you come back in.
