What is a Keratin Treatment?

Keratin Treatment is a smoothing treatment that eliminates frizz and smooths the hair cuticle. It infuses keratin (a protein naturally found in hair) into the hair shaft, resulting in smooth, manageable hair that lasts approximately 4 months.

How long does the treatment take?

Keratin Treatment typically takes 2-3 hours, depending on your hair length and thickness. The process includes application, processing time, and styling. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when you book.

How long do results last?

Keratin Treatment results typically last about 4 months, depending on your hair type and how you care for it. The treatment gradually fades, so your hair returns to its natural texture over time.

Will Keratin Treatment work on my hair type?

Keratin Treatment works on most hair types, but it's especially beneficial for frizzy, curly, or unmanageable hair. We'll assess your hair during consultation to determine if it's the right treatment for you.

How do I care for my hair after Keratin Treatment?

We'll provide detailed care instructions, but generally: use sulfate-free shampoos, avoid washing too frequently for the first few days, and avoid tying your hair up for the first 48 hours. Proper care helps extend the results.

Can I color my hair if I have Keratin Treatment?

It's generally best to space out chemical services. We recommend getting color done before Keratin Treatment, or waiting at least 2 weeks between services. We'll discuss the best timing during your consultation.

Hair Treatment Care Tips

How to prepare and what to do after your treatment for the best results

Before Your Appointment

Come with Clean Hair

Arrive with freshly washed, product-free hair when possible. Build-up from styling products can reduce how effectively a treatment penetrates.

Share Your Hair History

Let us know about any color treatments, chemical processes, or previous damage. This helps us choose the right treatment and application method.

Note Any Sensitivities

If you've had reactions to hair products before, let us know before we begin. We can review the formulas we plan to use with you.

Plan Your Color Timing

If you're also getting color, it's generally best to do color first and add a treatment after. For Keratin, plan to complete any color work first, then wait before your treatment appointment.

After Your Appointment

Wait 48+ Hours After Keratin to Wash

After a Keratin Treatment, avoid washing, tying, or clipping your hair for at least 48 hours. This allows the treatment to fully bond to the hair shaft for lasting results.

Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo

Sulfate-free shampoos extend the life of all our treatments—especially Keratin. They cleanse gently without stripping the treatment from your hair.

Schedule Regular Treatments

Deep Conditioning is great monthly or added to color services. Keratin lasts approximately 4 months. Bond Pro can be added to any salon appointment—your stylist will help you build a schedule.

Minimize Heat Styling

After any treatment, reducing frequent heat styling helps maintain the benefits longer. When you do use hot tools, always use a heat protectant.
