Every treatment includes a personalized consultation, a clarifying cleanse, precision application, and a finishing blowout.
Not every smoothing treatment is the same. Some keep more of your movement, some finish glassy-straight, and some are formaldehyde-free. The consultation matches the formula to your hair and your goals instead of a one-size promise.

How to protect your results at home
1
Switch to sulfate-free
Sulfates strip the treatment out fast. A sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner is the single biggest thing that protects your result.
2
Turn the heat down
Lower your flat-iron and blow-dryer temperatures. The treatment is already doing the smoothing, so your hot tools can work much gentler.
3
Add a weekly mask
A weekly bond or moisture mask keeps the cuticle sealed and the shine high between visits.
4
Sleep on silk
A silk or satin pillowcase, or a loose wrap, cuts the friction that brings frizz back overnight.
5
Refresh on schedule
Book your next treatment around the 3 to 4 month mark, before it fully wears off, so your hair never swings all the way back.
Before you book
Keratin & smoothing, answered honestly
Which treatment is right for my hair?+
Your stylist assesses your hair type, texture, and lifestyle during the consultation. As a rule: Brazilian Blowout for the sleekest finish, Cezanne if you are sensitive to chemicals and want to keep movement, and Lasio if you want a customizable result in between.
Will smoothing damage my hair?+
Not here. We use certified, salon-safe formulas with bond-protecting additives, chosen to restore and strengthen the cuticle rather than break it down.
Can I color my hair before or after?+
Yes. Color can be done before or after depending on the treatment. Your stylist will recommend the order during your consultation to protect both tone and hair integrity.
How long do results last?+
Three to five months with sulfate-free home care and reduced heat styling. You will go home with a care guide to protect the result.
Is this the same as a relaxer or straightener?+
No. Smoothing softens frizz and seals the cuticle while keeping your natural movement. A relaxer permanently changes your hair’s internal structure and cannot be reversed. These treatments are temporary, health-focused, and far less damaging.
How do I book a consultation?+
Use any Book Now button on this page and choose Consultation from the menu. It is complimentary, takes about 15 minutes, and there is no commitment. Walk-ins are welcome during business hours too.
