Introducing the Teaching Chair

$850$350 off Kaylie

Kaylie does your hair while a Smoothologist learns beside her. You’re part of how our team grows.

Book the Teaching Chair
More about this chair

Kaylie leads the whole appointment and stands behind your finished result exactly as she would in any appointment of her own. The Smoothologist shadowing her assists at every step.

Because teaching happens out loud, you’ll hear far more about your own hair than you would otherwise. Most guests say that’s the best part.

You do need to be comfortable with someone learning alongside you. Not available for children’s keratin.

The level for a difficult chemical history, heavy color, 4C curl retention, or hair you’ve had a bad experience with elsewhere. Two Seniors, and they’re known for different things.

Taylor is your heavier hitter. If you want maximum strength and the most curl reduction we can safely give you, she’s the one to book. She also works early mornings — the only Smoothologist here outside nine to five.

Jay is our fine-hair specialist, and he’s at his best on complicated, difficult textures where you want the best of both worlds — elongation and versatility, while holding onto as much of your curl pattern as your goals allow.

Select it when you book so the time gets reserved — it adds about fifteen minutes.

Most people prefer trimming after smoothing anyway, since the finished length is far easier to judge once the treatment is done.

Important things you should knowHave a look through — there might be something in here for you
My hair is 4C

Keratin on 4C loosens the pattern and cuts your styling time dramatically. It will not leave you bone straight, and it is not a relaxer.

How much curl you keep is a skill question, and it decides who to book. 4C is the last texture a Smoothologist trains on here — our Senior and Master Smoothologists are the only ones who have worked on it.

Want maximum smoothing and you’re not chasing curl retention? Established will do that beautifully. Want to hold onto your pattern? Book a Senior or Kaylie.

My hair is gray, silver or white

We do gray hair all the time and it responds beautifully. One honest caveat: hair without pigment has nothing to hide warmth behind, so a treatment can shift it warmer or more yellow.

It isn’t the keratin — heat on unpigmented hair does that whatever the service. Lower heat means less of it, but a stronger result needs higher heat.

We strongly suggest Fanola No Yellow purple mask afterward. It neutralizes the yellow beautifully. More on gray hair

I color or cover my gray

Color first, keratin second. The other way around strips what we just put in.

I have highlights or bleach

Lightened hair is more porous, so the result can read softer. Not a reason not to book — a reason to tell us first.

I’ve had a relaxer or another smoothing treatment

Tell us what and roughly when, even years ago. Old chemistry stays in the hair.

Nothing is available when I want it

Get on the waitlist rather than waiting for something to open. Add yourself for every day that would work.

How long will I be there?

Three to three and a half hours is our average appointment. Plan your day around that rather than the hands-on time.

There’s a stretch of 45 to 75 minutes where your product is processing and your hair needs to be left alone, so there may be points where you’re waiting for your Smoothologist to come back to you. It’s built into the day.

No overtime charge unless yours passes four hours — about 95% of clients pay exactly the rate listed. Please don’t schedule a flight or a childcare cutoff close to your expected finish.

Where do I park?

Drive past us and look on Myrtle. 29th is the backup. Give yourself ten extra minutes.
