Our Keratin & Smoothing Treatments
Keratin Express Treatment
Our Keratin Express is the perfect solution for clients who want smoother, shinier hair without a full commitment. This lighter treatment reduces frizz and adds incredible shine in just one appointment — with results lasting 4 to 6 weeks. Ideal for fine or color-treated hair that needs a gentle smoothing boost.
Keratin Smoothing Treatment
Our full Keratin Smoothing Treatment delivers longer-lasting results — typically 3 to 5 months — by deeply infusing keratin protein into the hair shaft. The result is silky, smooth, manageable hair that cuts your daily styling time in half. Perfect for clients with thick, coarse, or heavily frizzy hair.
Japanese Straightening
Also known as thermal reconditioning, Japanese Straightening is our most permanent smoothing option. This treatment chemically restructures the hair to be permanently straight — ideal for clients who want to completely eliminate curl and frizz for the long term. Results last until new hair grows in.
Keratin & Smoothing FAQ
How long does a keratin treatment take?
Treatment times vary by service. Keratin Express takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, while a full Keratin Smoothing Treatment typically takes 2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on hair length and thickness. Japanese Straightening can take 3 to 5 hours. We recommend booking a consultation first.
Can I get a keratin treatment if my hair is color-treated?
Yes! Keratin treatments are generally safe for color-treated hair. We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks after a color service before your keratin treatment. Our stylists will assess your hair during your consultation to recommend the best option.
How do I maintain my keratin treatment?
Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to extend the life of your treatment. Avoid washing your hair for at least 3 days after the service, and skip tight ponytails or hair clips during that period. Our stylists can recommend the best aftercare products during your appointment.
Is Japanese Straightening right for me?
Japanese Straightening is best for clients with naturally curly or wavy hair who want a permanent straight result. It's not recommended for heavily bleached or damaged hair. Book a complimentary consultation at Nexx Faze Salon and we'll help you decide which smoothing treatment is the right fit.
