Keratin Complex Smoothing Service Now Available

Smoothing and Straightening services are more popular than ever. However, due to federal regulations beauty manufacturers have looked for ways to improve their products while adhering to new regulations. Samuel Cole Salon stylists recently went through a comprehensive training class with educators from Keratin Complex. This new service offered gives clients another option from other smoothing services and is ideal for anyone who wants more straightening and smoothing than the Brazilian Blowout delivers. While the service costs more due to the extra time it takes to perform the results on more coarse and extra curly hair types makes it a great option for those clients. The Keratin Complex does take extra time but the results soften the curl up to 3 levels, reduces frizz up to 90% and while lasting up to 4-5 months depending on hair type. It is important to understand the treatment is not a straightener but a smoothing treatment that makes hair look and feel better than ever after the service.

Before and After results

What is keratin? Keratin is a fibrous protein found naturally in the hair. It acts as a protective shield against humidity which is, the primary cause of frizz. Over time the hair loses keratin from exposure to the sun, the environment, and styling chemical services. Porous spots develop in this damaged hair, much like potholes in a road. Keratin Complex® Smoothing Therapy treatments give the hair shine, strength, smoothness and elasticity.

Conventional straighteners or relaxers may break the protein bonds within the hair’s structure, causing each strand to reform into a permanently straight shape. Keratin Smoothing Complex is different.

Keratin Complex revolutionary technology does not break the hair’s bonds, instead delivers the versatility of smoother, healthier-looking hair that can be styled wavy or straight as desired.

Keratin Complex’s signature keratin works effectively on all hair types. Our unique Smoothing Therapy treatments contain high concentrations of keratin that penetrate throughout the hair structure, and then are sealed within the cortex to repair damage.

A consultation is required prior to booking this services due to the amount of time reserved for this appointment. Please see our salon pricing for starting prices.
