What Keratin Smoothing Really Means
Keratin smoothing treatments work by reinforcing the hair’s internal structure and sealing the cuticle — reducing frizz, improving smoothness, and making styling easier without permanently altering your natural texture.
This is not a straightening service and is never rushed or forced. Each treatment is adjusted based on your hair’s condition, curl pattern, and previous chemical history.
- Smooths the cuticle for a cleaner, glossier finish
- Reduces frizz and humidity expansion
- Improves softness and manageability
- Helps hair feel stronger and more resilient
- Makes styling faster, easier, and more consistent
What We’ll Design For You
- Reduced frizz and humidity resistance
- Improved manageability and faster styling
- A smoother finish that still moves naturally
- A treatment plan that works safely with colour

The Keratin Smoothing Process
Keratin smoothing is a technical service — and the finish is everything. We tailor the method, processing time, and heat sealing based on your hair’s texture, porosity, and colour history to ensure a result that looks polished and lasts.
- Preparation
Hair is clarified and dried to ensure maximum absorption and an even result. - Application
The smoothing formula is applied section-by-section with controlled saturation and precision placement. - Processing
Timing is tailored to your hair type and condition — never rushed, never guessed. - Rinse + Blow-dry
Hair is rinsed and blow-dried smooth using a controlled technique to refine the finish. - Sealing
Heat is applied at the correct temperature to seal the result and lock in shine, smoothness, and longevity.
Your stylist will confirm the best option for your hair before we begin.

Keratin Booking & Aftercare Policy
To protect your results — and ensure your hair stays smooth, glossy, and beautifully controlled for as long as possible — keratin smoothing requires correct service selection, a precise finishing process, and the right aftercare at home.
This is a technical service. We work deliberately, because the finish and longevity are built through detail — not speed.
Consultation Recommended
If you’re new to keratin smoothing, unsure which option is right, or you have a complex hair history, we strongly recommend booking a consultation first.
This allows us to assess:
- hair condition and porosity
- previous colour and lightening history
- your styling routine and desired finish
…and prescribe the most suitable smoothing option for your hair.
Service Selection & Hair History
If you choose to book online without a consultation, we’ll still complete a full assessment on arrival.
For the best outcome, accurate hair history is essential.
Please disclose any previous chemical services including:
- bleaching / highlights
- colour correction
- box dye
- previous keratin or smoothing treatments
This ensures we tailor the service correctly and protect hair integrity.
Cutting & Finishing
Keratin smoothing pricing does not include cutting.
If you would like a cut, we recommend booking it alongside your service so we can refine the shape and finish your hair correctly once the smoothing process is complete.
A correct finish is part of what makes the result look premium.
Aftercare = Longevity
The longevity of your keratin smoothing result depends heavily on the products used at home.
For best performance, we recommend professional aftercare that is:
- sulphate-free
- sodium chloride-free
These formulas protect smoothness, shine, and softness — and prevent the treatment wearing off prematurely.
Your stylist will prescribe the correct homecare plan for your hair type.
Results & Guarantee
We only guarantee the longevity of your keratin smoothing results when the recommended professional aftercare is used consistently.
Non-professional products can strip the smoothing effect early, reduce shine, and shorten wear time.
If you’re unsure what to use — we’ll guide you clearly.
Keratin Smoothing FAQ
Is keratin smoothing the same as straightening?
No — keratin smoothing is not permanent straightening.
It’s a luxury smoothing service designed to reduce frizz, improve shine, and make hair dramatically easier to manage, while keeping your hair feeling soft and natural.
All keratin smoothing treatments are carried out in our Newcastle upon Tyne salon following consultation.
How long do keratin smoothing results last?
Most clients enjoy results for 8–16 weeks (around 2–4 months) depending on:
- your hair condition and porosity
- your homecare routine
- how often you wash your hair
- your heat styling habits
For best longevity, we’ll prescribe the correct aftercare.
Will keratin make my hair flat?
Not when it’s done properly.
Our approach is designed to
control frizz and improve manageability without leaving your hair limp or lifeless.
We tailor the finish so you can keep:
- softness
- movement
- natural body
…while still achieving that
sleek, expensive-looking shine.
Is keratin safe for blonde hair?
Yes — Keratin smoothing can be safely performed on most
coloured hair when the service is correctly prescribed.
If your hair is lightened, fragile, or chemically sensitised, we adjust the method and finishing temperature to protect your hair integrity while still delivering smoother, shinier results.
If you’re unsure, book a consultation and we’ll advise you honestly.
Can I have keratin smoothing on coloured or bleached hair?
Yes — and it’s often one of the best ways to improve the feel of hair that’s been coloured or lightened.
Keratin smoothing can help reduce dryness, improve softness, and make your hair far easier to style.
We’ll always assess your hair first to ensure the right option is chosen.
What aftercare do I need?
To protect your results, you’ll need professional smoothing-safe aftercare.
We recommend using
sulphate-free and sodium-chloride-free shampoo and conditioner to prevent the smoothing effect wearing off early.
We’ll advise exactly what to use based on your hair type.
Will I still be able to curl or wave my hair after keratin smoothing?
Yes.
Keratin smoothing makes hair smoother and more manageable — but you can still style it with curls, waves, or volume whenever you want.
Most clients find their styles last longer and look more polished.
Can I wash my hair straight after my appointment?
Yes — with our keratin smoothing system there is
no long downtime.
You can wash your hair shortly after your appointment, and you won’t need to avoid tying it up for days like older-style smoothing treatments.
Your stylist will confirm the exact guidance for your hair on the day.
How long does the appointment take?
Your appointment typically takes around 2 hours+, depending on:
- hair length and thickness
- density and porosity
- which smoothing option you choose
We work precisely — because luxury results are built through detail, not speed.
Can I remove keratin smoothing if I change my mind?
Keratin smoothing gradually wears off naturally over time.
It’s not permanent, and your hair will slowly return to its original texture as it grows and the treatment fades.
Who is keratin smoothing best for?
Keratin smoothing is ideal if you want:
- frizz-free hair that stays polished
- smoother texture and better shine
- faster blow-dries and easier styling
- hair that feels healthier and looks more expensive
It’s especially popular for clients who struggle with humidity, dryness, or unpredictable texture.
Do I need a consultation first?
Not always — but we strongly recommend one if:
- you’ve had heavy lightening / bleach
- your hair feels fragile or over-processed
- you’ve had keratin or smoothing elsewhere
- you’re unsure which option to book
If you’re unsure which service is right, we’ll guide you clearly during consultation.
