Type 3–4 Hair
Keratin treatments, made for your curls.
Lasting moisture, real frizz control, and a curl pattern that stays healthy and intact. Every treatment customized, conservative, and done with care.
Our promise
Your texture isn’t the exception here. It’s the majority of the hair we work on.
We know that many Type 3 and Type 4 clients — often women of color — carry real and earned distrust around smoothing treatments, given how harsh chemicals have been misused in this industry. So we want to be clear: you are not the exception in this chair. You are who this method was built for.
Every treatment is customized, conservative, and performed with care. The health and integrity of your curls comes first, and we’ll always explain exactly what we’re doing and why before we start.
We recently partnered with UK smoothing brand Keratin Revolution to film a training course featuring our signature method. The photography and video across this site come from those sessions — real clients, real results.
What to expect
Three things textured clients notice first
Moisture that stays
Keratin seals and moisturizes the cuticle, which makes every part of caring for your hair easier. Less heat, less frequent styling, quicker wash days — and color and style that hold longer between visits.
Wash day gets shorter
Less heat, less product, less time on wash-and-go — whether you wear it smoothed or keep your natural texture. Clients report saving around fifteen minutes a day, plus real savings on product over time.
Sleek or curly, your call
Some clients want smooth styles that survive humidity. Others want length, movement and definition with their curls intact. Keratin does both — smooth styles hold longer, curls come through softer and more defined, and nothing that makes your texture yours gets erased.
Long-term health
Keratin and length retention, over time
Keratin isn’t only about how your hair looks today. It changes how it grows.
How keratin supports healthy length retention
Keratin is protein, so it strengthens and moisturizes hair from the inside out, reducing breakage, brittleness and dryness over time.
It also drastically reduces how much heat you need day to day. Less heat means less damage, and less damage means more length stays on your head.
If you’re a wash-and-go person, keratin makes detangling easier and prevents fairy knots — a major source of breakage for curly hair. It also cuts down how often you need to bind or wear your hair up, which over years can cause tension damage or traction alopecia.
Less tension, less manipulation, less heat, and a curl pattern gently stretched enough that you can actually see your length. Your hair finally gets the environment it needs to grow.
The part nobody talks about
It quiets the hair noise
Wash day dread. Frizz anxiety. Checking the humidity before you leave the house. Wondering whether you can go to the beach today.
Keratin changes your relationship with your curls, and with continued treatments that background noise gets quieter and quieter until you stop thinking about it at all.
It’s not about vanity. It’s about sanity.
