Calm frizz, refine texture and restore shine with a bespoke Keratin Smooth Treatment. The smoothing formula gently seals the cuticle to reduce puffiness and resistance, helping blow-dries become quicker and styles last in humidity. Results are tailored, from softly polished waves to a sleeker finish that still moves.

More information

What's Included

A considered, step by step service designed around your hair.

  • Personal consultation to understand your hair history, texture and goals.
  • Purifying cleanse to prepare the cuticle for even results.
  • Professional keratin smoothing application, placed section by section.
  • Controlled blow-dry and smoothing passes to seal the finish.
  • Polished style and clear home care guidance for lasting results.

Who It's For

Perfect for hair that frizzes, expands in humidity or feels hard to manage. It suits most textures, including colour-treated hair, and is ideal if you want to cut styling time while keeping softness and movement.

This is a smoothing service, not a chemical straightener. It refines the natural pattern and can soften curl, allowing you to choose a natural look or a sleeker finish. If your hair is heavily lightened or fragile, your stylist will assess and advise a gentle plan.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Timing varies with hair length, density and texture, as well as the result you want. Your stylist will confirm the appointment length when you book.

If your hair is very long or thick, please mention it so we can allow the right time. First visits may take a little longer to include a thorough consultation and finish.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Follow the aftercare given on the day to protect the result. Use sulphate-free, sodium chloride-free shampoo and conditioner, and avoid harsh clarifying products. Always use a heat protectant, and rinse after swimming in salt or chlorinated water.

Your first wash timing depends on the formula used and will be advised at your appointment. For the initial period, keep hair smooth and avoid tight bands if recommended. With good care, results typically last several months. Top up appointments help maintain a consistently sleek, frizz-controlled finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will keratin smoothing make my hair completely straight?
Keratin smoothing reduces frizz and softens texture rather than rebonding the hair. You can keep natural movement or ask for a sleeker result during finishing.
How long do the results last?
With proper care, results usually last several months, depending on your hair type, products used and how often you wash. Using sulphate-free care helps extend longevity.
Is it suitable for coloured or highlighted hair?
Yes, it is generally suitable and often enhances shine on colour-treated hair. Your stylist will adjust the approach to respect the condition of your hair.
What happens during the appointment?
Expect a cleanse, precise application, blow-dry and smoothing passes to set the finish. You will leave with polished, manageable hair and clear aftercare guidance.
How should I care for my hair after the treatment?
Use sulphate-free, sodium chloride-free products and a heat protectant. Follow the first-wash timing advised, avoid tight bands initially, and rinse after swimming.
