Keratin & Smoothing Treatments

An Express Keratin Blowout by Keratin Complex starts at $275, a full keratin treatment at $350, and KC Max at $380, with the Goldwell Kerasilk smoothing treatment at $350. Every one is a starting price set by hair length and density at a free consultation, before anything is mixed.

Brazilian Blowout is a specific brand and a shorter service — it smooths and cuts frizz while leaving more of your natural movement, and you can wash the same day. A keratin treatment is a longer process that goes further toward straight and lasts longer. Which suits you depends on how much curl you want to keep, and that is a consultation question, not a menu one.

It is honest to say it is good *for* hair in one specific sense and not in another. A smoothing treatment coats and seals the cuticle, which is why hair comes out shinier, dries faster and takes far less heat to style — and less blow-drying and less flat-ironing every morning for three months is a genuine benefit to the hair. What it does not do is repair anything. It is a chemical service, not a treatment in the conditioning sense, and it will not rebuild hair that is already breaking. On fragile or over-processed hair the right answer is sometimes bond repair first and smoothing later, or not at all, and you will be told that at the free consultation rather than after the fact.

It fades rather than ends, which is the part people are not told. There is no hard line at the root and no day where your hair reverts — the treatment wears off gradually over roughly two to four months depending on your hair and how often you wash it, and you notice it as your blow-dry slowly taking longer again. That is why there is nothing to grow out and nothing to correct. Most guests re-book when styling starts feeling like work again rather than to a calendar. Washing less often, and with a sulfate-free shampoo, is the single thing that most extends it.

It does not have to. A smoothing treatment can be dialled to take the frizz out and leave the curl pattern, which is what most of our curly guests actually want. Tell your stylist you want to keep the curl and they will choose the system and the processing time for that. Three of our stylists specialize in curly and textured hair.

Usually the same day is fine and often better, because the treatment seals the cuticle over fresh color. What we will not do is a big lift and a smoothing treatment back to back on hair that cannot take both. If your hair is already fragile you will hear that, and we will space them a few weeks apart.

There is no one best, and a salon that says otherwise carries one system. The best keratin treatment is the one matched to your hair: Brazilian Blowout to cut frizz and keep movement, Keratin Complex to go further toward straight, Magic Sleek for the longest straightening, Hair Botox when the hair needs repair as much as smoothing. We work across all of them, from $275, and the free consultation is where the choice is made.

Yes; humidity is the reason to have one here. A smoothing treatment seals the cuticle, so hair stops drinking the air and frizzing, and the blow-dry that fought the humidity every morning takes a fraction of the time. It fades over two to four months rather than ending, and washing less often with a sulfate-free shampoo is what extends it most.

It genuinely depends on your hair's texture, condition, color history, and how much straightening versus frizz control you want. We work across several professional systems — Brazilian Blowout, Keratin Complex, Magic Sleek and Hair Botox — precisely so the treatment can be matched to your hair rather than forcing every head through one system. Your stylist will recommend the right one at your free consultation.

Most professional smoothing treatments last roughly two to four months, depending on the system used, your hair type, how often you wash, and the aftercare products you use. Your stylist will give you an honest expectation for your specific hair and treatment at your consultation.

It depends on the system — some modern treatments allow same-day washing while others ask you to wait. Your stylist will walk you through the exact aftercare for the specific treatment you receive, including which sulfate-free products will protect your results longest.

In most cases yes — several of the systems we carry are designed to be safe over color, and some clients pair the two in a planned sequence. Because the right order and timing depend on your hair's history, this is exactly what the free consultation is for.
