You are likely a candidate if you've never had a relaxer or it's been over a year. Our stylist will assess your hair health, texture, and scalp condition during consultation before recommending the safest, most effective approach.

Appointments typically last two to three hours depending on hair length, density, and condition. Time includes consultation, careful application, processing, neutralizing, and a deep-conditioning treatment to lock in moisture and ensure healthy, smooth results.

Avoid washing for 48 hours, use sulfate-free shampoos, and schedule regular deep-conditioning. Apply recommended leave-in products and minimize heat styling initially. Our team will provide a personalized at-home routine to maintain straightness and hair health between salon visits.

When applied correctly by our trained stylists and followed by proper aftercare, damage is minimized. Some weakening can occur, so we use protective treatments and tailored timing to preserve hair strength and avoid overlapping chemical processing that causes long-term harm.

Touch-ups are generally recommended every eight to twelve weeks depending on new growth, hair health, and styling preferences. Our stylists will assess your regrowth and suggest a safe timeline to prevent over-processing while keeping your hair smooth and consistent.

Coloring and relaxing both chemically process hair; we recommend consulting your stylist. Generally, color after a relaxer is safer once hair has recovered — usually two to four weeks — but timing depends on hair condition and the products used.
