HAIR STRAIGHTENING & SMOOTHING SPECIALISTS

WAKE UP TO BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY HAIR EVERYDAY.

About Us

Founded by Charmaine Stubbs in 2010, Straight & Sleek was born out of a passion for redefining hair straightening, creating a premium service women could truly trust, without compromising hair health.

Set in our Kirra beachside haven, each visit is designed to help you relax, reset, and feel genuinely cared for.

With over 15 years of industry experience and training with leading straightening professionals, Charmaine and her expert team specialise in advanced Nanoplasty and hair-health-first techniques, allowing Straight & Sleek to confidently guarantee results.

After experiencing the frustration of frizzy, unmanageable hair and the damage caused by traditional chemical straightening, Charmaine was driven to trial and perfect healthier, results-driven alternatives.

We work exclusively with leading global professional brands, selecting only the best Nanoplasty and permanent straightening treatments, each rigorously tested and approved by Straight & Sleek.

Sink into ultra-luxe seating, unwind at our massage basins, and enjoy premium refreshments. With a dedicated workspace and serene sea views, every detail is designed for a truly indulgent, restorative experience, so you can switch off, reset, and leave feeling refreshed & pampered.

ABOUT OUR SPACE

Our Signature 4 Step Experience

1. CONSULT

We’ll discuss your hair history, texture and goals & recommend one of our suitable treatments. We recommend arriving with natural hair where possible so we can properly assess condition, density and suitability.
2. HAIR PREP

If you can, please arrive with freshly washed hair (two shampoos), however if not, no problem, we’ll take care of the cleansing in salon. Hair is prepared with a purifying wash before sectioning to ensure even product absorption and optimal results.
3. APPLICATION

The Nanoplasty formula is applied in sections and left to process, allowing active ingredients to penetrate and restructure the hair. Hair is then blow-dried and carefully sealed with heat to lock in a sleek, frizz-free finish while maintaining softness and movement.
4. SLEEK RESULTS

Your hair is rinsed, nourished and finished with a smoothing mask to enhance shine and seal the cuticle. We’ll guide you through personalised aftercare and product recommendations to maintain long-lasting, healthy results.

I have been to a few other places on the Gold Coast for permanent straightening and it either didn’t work or they missed spots. Charmaine and her team have always done a 10/10 job on my hair. She also fit me in last minute right before I went overseas last year after I had a mishap with the place I was going to. 100% recommend!

I travelled from Ipswich down to the gold coast to see Charmaine and her team and I can definitely say it was worth the travel! And I will definitely be back in the future ☺️ I loved my whole experience at straight and sleek! 😍, the ladies were so welcoming and the atmosphere was relaxing, they made my hair go from very thick, curly and frizzy to silky straight

I have been a customer for just over 10 years. Charmaine and her team at Straight & Sleek are specialist in hair straightening — my hair has never looked or felt better. The results are incredible: silky, shiny, and smooth, with a finish that lasts beautifully over time. The product they use clearly makes a big difference.
