When a Keratin Complex® hair treatment is applied, hair is repaired through signature keratin and a unique blend of ingredients that reinforce weak spots in the hair's structure to make the hair healthier, stronger, and smoother. The keratin treatment is then sealed into the cuticle through the heating process (blow-dry and flat iron) to repair damage and block the humidity that causes frizz. The more our keratin treatments are applied, the healthier hair becomes.

• Improve the health of hair.
• Block humidity.
• Eliminate frizz.
• Strengthen and repair damaged hair.
• Reduce breakage.
• Increase manageability and cut blow-dry time.
• Provide anti-aging benefits to the hair.
• Deliver radiant shine.

Before Your Keratin Appointment



• Make sure no event requiring an up-do, hat, or any bands or clips is on your schedule, as the hair must hang loose for 2-3 days after your treatment.
• Review your calendar to be sure nothing requiring your hair to get wet is planned for the 2-3 days after your treatment. 
• Check the weather forecast. Keratin treatments are fine for rainy days, but you'll definitely want a raincoat with a loose hood and an umbrella.
• Stock up on sulphate-free shampoo and conditioners. More on this below.

During Your Keratin Appointment

• Please allow a 2-3 hour window for keratin smoothing treatment, depending on hair length and thickness.
• Know that you (and your stylist and other guests) are safe as we use the Keratin Complex® brand, which means no formaldehyde or harmful chemicals.

Three Day After Your Keratin Appointment

• Care during the 72 hours after your treatment is key for optimal and the longest-lasting results. This means three days of strict adherence to these guidelines: Do not get your hair wet!
• When you shower, use the absolute best shower cap.
• If you work out and/or sweat, get to a dryer asap. Blow-dry and flat iron with medium to low heat as soon as possible.
• No swimming, not even with a swim cap.
• No saunas, baths, hot tubs, steam showers, skiing, or skating.
• Carry an umbrella and a loose rain hat, or even a plastic shower cap, everywhere if rain or fog is in the forecast.
• When you wash your face or brush your teeth, use a shower cap or spa band to hold back your hair. Long hair can get tucked into the back of your shirt to prevent it from falling into the water.
• We offer dry shampoo, which may be used in small doses, but if you can stand it, embrace your three-day hair as it naturally is.
• Repeat: do not allow your hair to get wet! 
• No kinking!
• Avoid making any impressions on the hair from clips, ponytail holders, hats, or sunglasses.
• Resist the urge to tuck your hair behind your ears.
• No up-dos with bands or clips.
• No braids.
• At night, sleep with your hair loose.

The keratin smoothing treatment can last up to three months, depending on lifestyle, maintenance and adherence to all aftercare instructions. Using shampoos that contain sulphate will ruin your keratin treatment. To maintain your results, you must use sodium chloride-free hair products. We recommend and carry the Keratin Complex® brand's Keratin Care shampoo and conditioner and Keratin Color Care shampoo and conditioner. We recommend that the hair be cut after the treatment, as the hair will have a smoother texture and will lie differently. We recommend waiting at least two days before colouring your hair. The hair will be more manageable, easier to style, and will be resistant to humidity. It will feel noticeably softer and silkier, with added life, shine, and vibrancy.
