Why NRIs Prefer Getting Hair Colour & Keratin Treatments in India: Quality + Cost Benefits

November 28, 2025

“Enjoy global-grade colour and keratin care at MYRAH – premium products, expert stylists, and unbeatable India value.”

The New NRI Ritual: Land, Unpack, Colour, Transform

For many Non-Resident Indians, trips to India are no longer just about family, food, and festivities. There is a new non-negotiable on the itinerary: a salon appointment that resets their hair for the months ahead. Between demanding schedules abroad and higher service costs in global cities, NRIs are increasingly choosing to refresh their hair colour and smoothing rituals during their India visits.

 

At Myrah Santacruz, that decision feels effortless. MYRAH combines premium products, technical expertise, and a refined environment with the natural value advantage of being in India. The result: hair that meets global standards of colour and smoothness, at a level of care and attention that feels deeply personal.

Why India Makes Sense for Colour & Smoothing

NRIs who plan their hair appointments in India usually cite three reasons: quality, value, and trust. They want internationally comparable results, thoughtful consultation, and a cost structure that makes bigger transformations realistic.

 

MYRAH answers all three. With a specialist Hair Care menu, targeted smoothing options like Hair Smoothing and Hair Botox, and advanced strengthening rituals (including L’Oreal Hair Spa, K18 Molecular Repair Treatment, and OLAPLEX treatments), guests can schedule impactful changes without compromising on safety or finish.

Global-Grade Colour with an India Advantage

Colour is one of the main reasons NRIs book MYRAH in advance of their visit. Rather than fitting in rushed appointments abroad, they prefer an unhurried, detailed colour service in Mumbai that lasts for months.

Root Perfection: Seamless Regrowth for Busy Lives

For those who want continuity and polish, Root Touch-Up and Ammonia Free Root Touch-Up are incredibly popular. These services ensure regrowth blends invisibly with existing colour, so guests return overseas with hair that looks freshly maintained, not overdue for attention.

 

The ammonia-free option is especially appealing to NRIs who prefer gentler formulas, yet still expect refined, even coverage.

Global Hair Colour: A Fresh Canvas for a New Season

When it’s time for a complete refresh, Global Hair Colour and Ammonia Free Global Hair Colour deliver an all-over transformation. From rich chocolates and cool espressos to sunlit caramels and deeper, dramatic tones, stylists at MYRAH shape the colour story around your skin tone, wardrobe, and lifestyle after you return abroad.

 

The advantage NRIs enjoy here is clear: they receive couture-level colour work at a value that lets them update shades more confidently and more frequently than they might abroad.

Highlights & Balayage: Dimension that Travels Well

Another NRI favourite: Highlights and Balayage. These techniques add dimension, movement, and a “lived-in” sophistication that grows out gracefully, making them ideal for those who may not have time for frequent top-ups overseas.

At MYRAH, these services are always customised-sectioning, placement, and tone are chosen to suit your cut, natural base, and how you usually style your hair. Under both soft Mumbai lights and cooler international climates, the result feels tasteful, modern, and flattering.

“Keratin-Like” Smoothness: Smoothing & Hair Botox at MYRAH

Many NRIs travel to India specifically for long-lasting frizz control and smoothness. At MYRAH, this often translates into advanced smoothing and restorative rituals that offer the effect guests associate with keratin, while remaining within MYRAH’s curated salon service list.

Hair Smoothing: Discipline with Fluidity

Hair Smoothing is a popular choice for guests who want sleekness, reduced frizz, and quicker styling, without losing the natural movement of their hair. After a single appointment at Myrah Santacruz, morning routines abroad become simpler: less time with hot tools, more consistent results, and a “just-left-the-salon” finish that lasts.

Hair Botox: Reviving Overworked Hair

For hair that has navigated colour, heat, and travel, Hair Botox acts as a deep, restorative resurfacing ritual. It focuses on improving the feel, shine, and manageability of the hair, so strands appear fuller, smoother, and better behaved.

 

NRIs who book Hair Botox usually describe the results not just in terms of how their hair looks, but how it responds: less breakage, fewer tangles, and finishes that hold their shape longer in different climates.

Treatments That Protect Your Investment

Colour and smoothing are only part of the story. NRIs are increasingly choosing to pair them with strengthening and spa-like rituals that extend results and protect hair health between visits to India.

L’Oreal Hair Spa: Ritualised Scalp & Hair Comfort

L’Oreal Hair Spa is a beloved add-on for NRIs who want both results and relaxation. The experience combines scalp massage with targeted formulas to address dryness, stress, or sensitivity. It’s often scheduled before travel home, leaving hair and scalp feeling balanced, refreshed, and ready for changing conditions abroad.

K18 Molecular Repair Treatment: Strength from Within

For hair that has been repeatedly coloured, heat-styled, or exposed to varied climates, K18 Molecular Repair Treatment is frequently chosen. NRIs appreciate that it goes beyond surface gloss-working on deeper structures to help improve resilience, reduce breakage, and support long-term health.

OLAPLEX Treatments: Express, Luxury & Chelating

MYRAH’s OLAPLEX offerings are especially popular with colour clients. OLAPLEX Express Treatment slots easily into busy schedules, offering a quick strength boost, while OLAPLEX Luxury Treatment introduces a more layered ritual for deeper repair and softness.

 

When mineral build-up or hard water has dulled colour and texture, OLAPLEX Chelating Debuild Treatment helps clear impurities, allowing tones and shine to appear cleaner and more reflective-a visible upgrade for those returning to drier or colder climates.

Fine-Tuning with Davines: Scalp-First, Season-Smart

Alongside core haircare, MYRAH’s Davines Treatments bring Italian-inspired, scalp-focused care to NRI routines. Guests often choose Express rituals like Minu Express Treatment, NouNou Express Treatment, Momo Express Treatment, and Love Smooth Express Treatment based on whether their priority is colour brilliance, nourishment, hydration, or frizz management.

 

Luxury Davines journeys-such as OI Absolute Beauty & Hydrating Luxury Treatment, Renewing Luxury Treatment, Nourishing Luxury Treatment (Dry Scalp), Nourishing Luxury Treatment (Very Dry & Damaged Hair), Purifying Luxury Treatment, Energising Hair Thickening Treatment, and specialised energising hair loss protocols-are chosen by NRIs who want their festive appointments to double as long-term investment in scalp and hair health.

Quality + Cost: The NRI Perspective

When NRIs compare their hair colour and smoothing experiences abroad with what they receive at MYRAH, a few themes emerge:

 

They notice the depth of consultation, the time invested in sectioning and application, and the way stylists think about future growth and maintenance. They value the access to premium brands and advanced treatments in a single location. And they appreciate that the overall investment-when converted and compared-often allows them to do more: update colour, add dimension, strengthen, and smooth within one trip.

Planning Your Next Visit to MYRAH

For NRIs, the easiest way to make the most of their time in Mumbai is to plan hair appointments alongside flights and events. Begin by exploring the Hair Care menu and the broader Davines Treatments page, then reach out via the contact page to align appointments with your schedule.

 

At Myrah Santacruz, each visit is crafted to feel like a calm, luxurious pause in the middle of your India itinerary-a place where colour, smoothness, and care meet in perfect balance.

Leave with More Than Great Hair

In the end, NRIs don’t choose MYRAH only for salon services. They choose it for a feeling: the confidence of walking back into their global lives with hair that looks refined, feels strong, and behaves beautifully day after day.

 

With thoughtful colour, intelligent smoothing, and restorative treatments composed into one elegant experience, MYRAH turns a single appointment into months of ease. It’s quality that meets international expectations, value that makes sense, and care that feels unmistakably like home.
