Keratin Smoothing Treatment
A Keratin Smoothing Treatment is a salon service designed to reduce frizz, soften the hair, and make daily styling noticeably easier. It works by smoothing the outer cuticle so your hair dries with a sleeker finish, improved shine, and more predictable movement, especially in damp or humid weather.
More information
What a Keratin Smoothing Treatment delivers for frizzy, puffy hair
Keratin smoothing focuses on manageability rather than a drastic style change. Your result is intended to look polished and natural, with less effort at home.
- Smoother cuticle for reduced frizz and less “puff” through the lengths
- Faster blow-drying and easier brushing, especially on thick or porous hair
- A more consistent finish in humidity, so the hair holds its shape better
- Added shine and a softer feel without relying on heavy styling products
- Better day-to-day control for hair that tangles easily or feels rough at the ends
Who keratin smoothing suits best
Keratin smoothing is often chosen by clients who like their current cut and colour, but want the finish to look calmer and more refined between appointments. It is particularly useful if your hair expands in rain, feels fluffy after drying, or takes a long time to smooth with heat tools. If your hair is very fragile or heavily over-processed, a consultation can confirm whether smoothing or a conditioning-led plan is the better option.
How the Keratin Smoothing Treatment appointment runs (from 120 mins)
Your appointment starts with a consultation to confirm your hair goals, current condition, and how smooth you want the end result to look. The service then moves through clear stages: cleansing the hair, applying the smoothing formula in sections, allowing it to process, then blow-drying and sealing the treatment with heat for longevity. The appointment finishes with a styled result so you can see how the hair sits and moves.
Aftercare that keeps the smoothing result looking polished
Aftercare matters for how long the smoothing effect stays noticeable. You will be guided on when to wash your hair after the appointment, what to avoid in the first couple of days, and which cleansing and conditioning products support a smooth cuticle. Many clients also find that regular masks and gentle heat protection help maintain softness and shine between smoothing appointments.

Carlos is an amazing Colourist as he has really brought my hair to life with very subtle sun kissed highlights and then I had a Keratin treatment after that he promised me would make my hair and life easier for my Frizzy hair and lock in shine . Whatever he has done has worked and I am forever thankful and grateful to have had Carlos at this Salon. He is great, Thankyou Carlos 🙏🏼

Ive just had my first visit to this Salon , and could not be happier with my Colour and keratin treatment. I had a full head of highlights of creamy blonde and had it done very naturally which looks amazing. I then has a keratin treatment to get rid off my frizz and slight curl at my crown area which has worked wonders. Thank you very much Carlos for your hospitality and patience with my hair. I’m truly grateful and blessed to have had you doing my colour and keratin. I couldn’t be more grateful with your beautiful work ❤️
