My Kérastase Fusio-Dose Experience

Ritz-Carlton Staycation Part I
[You may access my other posts here: Part IIPart III & Part IV]

I was recently invited by Gargi Guha ~ Director of Public Relations, The Ritz-Carlton Bangalore, to spend a weekend at their gorgeous property. I will be chronicling my experience over a few blog posts ~ consider this one to be Part I.

 

I had checked in on a bright Saturday at 9 am, and was warmly received by the hotel staff, who escorted me to The Club Lounge on the premises for a seamless check-in experience. Once the formalities had been completed, I was invited to have breakfast at the Lounge. This post will have me provide you with an insight on The Club Lounge, as well as my Kérastase Fusio-Dose experience at the Rossano Ferretti Hair Spa, following breakfast.

{Entering the Club Lounge through the foyer, seeing that view, and experiencing the ambience was a ‘wow’ experience for me. It really plays into one’s expectation of Ritz-Carlton’s exceptional attention to detail.}

You are going to have an ‘affair, with your hair’ after you have pampered them at the internationally acclaimed Rossano Ferretti Hair Spa at the Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore. Rossano’s style is to work in an exceptionally qualitative way, bringing their lavishly tailored dream to hairdressing, and therefore relentlessly stimulating and refining hair designing and salon services. The hair spa offers a delightful sensual experience, where every moment spent is centred on absolute indulgence!

Overview

In-salon solutions for problem hair are on the rise, and the latest to launch one is luxury brand Kérastaste with their new Fusio-Dose treatments. Positioned as ‘rituals’ blended bespoke to your hair needs following a personal diagnosis with your stylist; the new in-salon treatments allow you to choose from the new range of four concentrates and five boosters to treat your hair. Furthermore, there are about twenty various personalised combinations that can be created from these concentrates and boosters, to suit your hair type and address specific problems.

I’ve had hair treatments at salons before but those were always ready-made ones; so the Kérastaste PARIS Fusio-Dose treatment’s ability to pin-point two problem areas to focus on, and combine two Fusio-Dose products to combat both issues at once certainly caught my attention.

The concentrates include:

• Concentre Densifique for instant thickness
• Concentre Pixelist for strengthening of radiance
• Concentre Vita-Ciment for in-depth reconstruction
• Concentre Oleo-Fusion for instant nutrition and softness

The boosters include:

• Booster Brillance for five times more radiance
• Booster Nutrition for three times more nutrition
• Booster Densite where finer hair is deeply texturised
• Booster Reconstruction for 50% less breakages while hair-brushing
• Booster Discipline for 72-hour smoothness, 72-hour anti-frizz and anti-humidity

 

How it works

When I arrived at the Rossano Ferretti Hair Spa, Ricky Tam {salon director, super stylist, and Kérastaste ambassador} took the time to sit through and discuss with me what my hair wanted {and needed} from their personalised conditioning treatment. Ricky then scanned both my hair and scalp to understand which treatment would best suit my needs. For instance, my scalp was found to be dry, and the bottom part of my hair looked completely dull and had lost its keratin and nutrients completely, which left me with lustreless hair.

Naturally, I chose to go with a nourishing treatment that would not only help moisturise my hair, but make it look more shiny and vibrant; a combination of the Fusio-Dose Concentré Oléo-Fusion for deep nourishment, shine, and softness, and the Discipline Booster to make my hair more manageable. The idea is to let the treatment acclimate to the requirements of your hair so you can prioritise what you wish to improve; whether it is reconstructing your hair’s texture or highlighting the colour. The mixture was just one concentrate and one booster as Ricky intended on providing a powerful treatment with exclusive results.

The booster and concentrate are combined to create the magical potion. A potion I say ~ because of the micro-emulsion that combines the goodness of avocado and jojoba oil with a dash of water.

 

The Fusio-Dose treatment

Shiva, the stylist at the hair spa, washed my hair before the treatment using a Kérastaste Shampoo, which catered specifically to my hair type. My hair was then treated while it was still wet by spraying the mixture section-by-section and gently massaging it through the entire length of my hair, and finally combing it through. My scalp was covered with a shower cap and the treatment was left on for ten minutes for the magical potion to do its job {no steam is needed as the product uses one’s natural body heat}.

After my hair was rinsed, Kérastase Elixir Ultime The Imperial was applied. The oil can be used for both pre and post hair styling; it gives your hair a natural shine, protects from the harsh UV rays, and provides deep conditioning.

 

Ricky styled my hair to create soft curls, and the result as you can see is healthy, beautifully styled hair!

 

I asked Ricky how much time should ideally be spent on caring for our hair every day, to which he said that Rossano Ferretti Hair Spa gives personalised beauty to women, and a good haircut should allow you to just wash and go on the street, that’s all. “If this is not what you are doing then you are going to the wrong hairdresser,” he said. Having worked as a Hair Stylist at Rossano Ferretti Shanghai and Rossano Ferretti Miami in the past, Ricky Tam brings more than two decades of hands-on knowledge and experience to the fashion-savvy city of Bangalore.

Verdict

My Kérastase Fusio-Dose experience left my hair looking and feeling healthier, shinier, and stronger ~ which is a definite thumbs up. Needless to say, I enjoyed the pampering session with Kérastaste because it was such an easy and fuss-free treatment with such impressive and lasting results!

  • I love beauty rituals, especially luxurious hair transformations ~ and you look gorgeous, Tanya! ❤️

    I’ve tried the Kérastase Fusio-Dose treatment and found it to be such a relaxing experience! For my hair, I was given the moisture and taming solutions. The actual process was fabulous; head massage and a very thorough blow dry that just felt amazing!

  • You look really great, Tanya, and these are some stunning photos! ✨ Kérastase Fusio-Dose truly treats your hair and immediately transforms for lasting results! Thank you for sharing.

  • You look so beautiful! Seems like such a relaxing experience ~ it’s hard to beat someone else washing your hair and giving you a scalp massage… 🙂

  • I have to admit that I truly appreciate and admire your work, Tanya. Your creativity and talent, the beautiful photos, and the effort and the magic you create in your posts… is something else! ❤️

  • I’m a big fan of Kerastase and that’s because their products work. I’ve had a number of treatments done at salons, ranging from adding volume, to shine. 🙂

  • I can see the difference in your hair, Tanya. I’ve had Fusio-Dose done and would recommend it if your hair needs a boost such as after going on a long vacation, or if you haven’t had a hair cut in a while. xx

  • I absolutely love Kérastase Fusio-Dose! This treatment is good to give your hair a treat with an extra dose of vitamins and nourishment. It makes hair feel cared for and healthy. 🙂

  • After reading the glowing reviews here, I’m going to try this out! I want my hair to be thicker, lighter and more shiny like yours, Tanya! ✨✨✨

  • Fabulous photos, Tanya! This treatment is probably a great way to stretch out your cut or colour as it puts hair in a great condition and helps to mask issues… So, if you are trying to grow your hair or don’t want the cost of a full cut service, Kérastase Fusio-Dose could give that fresh feeling for a smaller cost! 🙂

  • This treatment looks like such an ideal pick me up! And because it can be tailored to your particular needs ~ it will really suit any hair type! 🙂

  • Beautiful you! ❤️ The idea that this hair treatment adapts to your hair requirements, so you can prioritise what you would like to enhance – whether its reconstruction, colour or texture of your hair – is absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing.

  • You look amazing, Tanya! Your blogs are teaching me to appreciate things which have no answers. And, it also makes me miss Ritz-Carlton’s mural laden walls and stunning interlaced doors and windows…

  • Wow! You write so well. 🙂 Every corner of the Ritz-Carlton comes across like a page of a century old book… enriching and beautiful, and so warm!

  • A beautiful kaleidescope …. Hope to visit someday. ✨

    Of course, you look great! When I plan a trip to Bangalore, the Ritz-Carlton and meeting you will be on my itinerary for sure!

  • Omg ~ you’re a dream, Tanya! Loving that last picture… Also, the spa has such a warm, quirky and beautiful vibe going om.

  • Every single detail of the decor at the Ritz-Carlton is just wow and has me melted in its warmth. Loving this beauty series btw! Keep them comin’ 🙂

  • It is strange how things you love doing calm you down, even at the busiest of times. In viewing your work, I felt the same peace that one finds when Belur Mathh throbs with Khandana Bhava. And in reading your work, my mind found pin-drop silence amidst drum rolls and cacophonies. Kudos Tanya!
