Your hair naturally has keratin protein but loses it over time due to exposure to the elements and processing. Since keratin protects your hair from humidity, your hair tends to look more and more frizzy after a while. Keratin treatments replace lost keratin to create a sleek surface on the hair shaft that reflects light. The whole effect enhances hair colour and gives you long-lasting smooth hair that is easier to manage.

A consultation with any of our professional stylists will establish the current state of your hair regarding health and recent processing. They’ll also go over what you want from a keratin treatment (taming frizz, relaxing curls, glossy straight strands, etc.) in order to select the right product. If your hair is sporting some damage, there are specialty products that will work well so you can still enjoy the benefits of a keratin treatment.

On the day of your appointment, the stylist will deep clean your hair with a clarifying shampoo until all build-up is removed. Keratin is applied to wet hair, then the hair is blow-dried. Finally, a flat iron is used to seal it in. Some formulas allow an immediate return to your own hair care routine, while others require a few days to ‘set’. Your stylist will fill you in on everything you need to know.
