Keratin cut my morning routine down to fifteen minutes. My hair has not been this healthy since high school and my color holds so much longer now.
A smoothing treatment that cuts drying time and takes the frizz out for months at a time.
Prep before your appointment
- Come in with clean, dry hair, skip any heavy serums or oils for a day or two before your appointment
- Let us know at your consultation if you've had a relaxer, color, or any other chemical service recently, since that affects what your hair can safely handle
- Plan your schedule around keeping hair dry and loose for a few days after, no ponytails, clips, or sweat right away
- If you have questions going in, just ask, we would rather talk through your hair history before we start than make adjustments halfway through
Aftercare
- Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to keep the treatment lasting as long as possible
- Heat styling is fine, and a light pass with a flat iron between washes helps maintain that smooth look on high-humidity days
- Try to keep hair out of chlorinated or salt water as much as you can, since both will shorten the life of the treatment
- Come back and talk to us before booking a color service on top of treated hair, timing matters and we want to make sure your hair stays healthy

Stylists for Keratin Smoothing
Keratin smoothing is a practical call for a lot of Waco guests, particularly anyone whose hair turns into a battle every summer. The treatment pushes keratin protein into the hair shaft and seals it with heat, smoothing the cuticle and reducing frizz for months at a stretch. At three hours, it asks for a real chunk of your day, and results can range from a noticeable softening to a dramatic change depending on your starting texture. That's worth talking through before you book. We'd rather take five minutes to set honest expectations than have you leave the chair with something other than what you pictured.
Results typically hold for three to five months with the right at-home care, mainly sulfate-free products and some caution around saltwater and chlorine. If your hair runs fine or color-treated, that's useful context for your stylist too, both can influence how the treatment performs and how it's applied.
