Keratin Treatments in Buckhead, Atlanta
Frizz-free, smooth, easier-to-style hair that lasts three to six months. Expert smoothing by David Barron and his London-trained team, serving Buckhead since 1996.
A repair treatment first, a smoothing treatment second
A keratin treatment, often searched as hair smoothening, is comparable to an intensive, deep, reparative conditioning treatment. It is designed not to straighten your hair, but to repair damage, add shine, and smooth the cuticle, eliminating over 90 percent of frizz.
Most clients find their hair is far easier to style afterward, with blow-dry time cut roughly in half. It is a genuine alternative to relaxers for those with natural hair who prefer to stay chemical-free, and even severely over-processed hair sees a dramatic reduction in breakage.
What to expect, start to finish
A keratin treatment is a two-hour in-salon process using a formula that is over 40 percent keratin, and results last between three and six months.
We assess your hair in person, discuss the result you want, and confirm the right formula for your texture.
Hair is clarified and the keratin is applied section by section so it penetrates evenly through the cuticle.
The treatment is sealed in with controlled heat, locking in smoothness and shine for months of easy styling.
Keep hair dry, unclipped and straight for three days so the keratin fully sets. We send you home knowing exactly what to do.

Keratin Treatment FAQ
How long does a keratin treatment last?
Typically three to six months, depending on your hair type and how you care for it. Sulfate-free products and a gentle wash routine make it last longer.
Does a keratin treatment damage your hair?
No. Modern keratin is closer to an intensive reparative conditioning treatment. It strengthens the hair, reduces breakage, and is a popular chemical-free alternative to relaxers. The chemicals that gave early treatments a bad name have long been removed.
How much does a keratin treatment cost?
Exact prices cannot be quoted by phone because length, density and condition all matter. A stylist gives you an accurate quote in person. A $50 consultation fee applies and is credited toward your service.
What is the difference between keratin and Japanese straightening?
Keratin smooths and repairs and grows out softly over months. Japanese or permanent straightening chemically restructures the hair so it stays straight permanently. If you want a lasting change, ask about our permanent straightening service.
How soon can I wash my hair after a keratin treatment?
Wait a full three days. During that time keep hair dry, straight and free of clips or ties so the keratin fully penetrates and sets into the cuticle.
Is a keratin treatment safe for colored hair?
Yes. Keratin works well on colored hair and can improve its condition. If you are coloring and smoothing, we will sequence the appointments correctly to protect both.
Will it make my hair completely straight?
It is designed to smooth and reduce frizz by over 90 percent, not to force pin-straight hair. You keep movement and body, with far less effort and blow-dry time.
