Get answers to common questions about Keratin.

Our professional Keratin smoothing service typically takes 90โ€“150 minutes depending on hair length, thickness, and previous chemical treatments. The stylist performs consultation, wash, keratin application, blow-dry and flat-ironing to seal the formula for optimal frizz control and shine.

Yes. Our salon uses professional keratin formulas formulated for color-treated hair. We assess hair condition during consultation and may adjust processing time or recommend a patch test to protect color vibrancy and avoid over-processing for optimal, safe results.

Typically results last 8โ€“12 weeks depending on hair type, aftercare, and washing frequency. Use sulfate-free shampoos, avoid chlorinated water and heavy styling products to prolong effects. Touch-up treatments can extend smoothness for clients seeking longer-lasting frizz control.

Keratin smoothing relaxes and smooths curls but is not a permanent straightening method. It reduces curl pattern and frizz while preserving body. Over time natural curl returns; repeat treatments are needed for sustained straightening effects.

Avoid washing or tying hair for 48โ€“72 hours, use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, minimize heat styling, and schedule maintenance trims. Following these steps preserves the keratin bond, extending smoothness, shine, and reducing frizz for the full treatment duration.

When performed by professionals using certified formulas, risks are minimal. Some clients report temporary scalp sensitivity or odors during application; rare allergic reactions possible. We perform consultations, strand tests, and use ventilation to ensure safety and mitigate potential side effects.
