Expert Guidance from Venelle Salon and Spa in Park Slope, Brooklyn

Keratin treatments are one of the most popular ways to achieve smooth, frizz-free hair — but not all keratin treatments are created equal. At Venelle Salon and Spa, we offer several options tailored to different hair types and styling goals. Choosing the right one can make all the difference between just manageable hair and truly flawless locks.

Here’s a detailed guide to help you understand the keratin treatment options we offer and find the perfect match for your unique hair.

What Is a Keratin Treatment?

Keratin is a natural protein found in hair that helps maintain strength, elasticity, and smoothness. Over time, heat styling, humidity, chemical treatments, and environmental stressors can break down keratin, causing frizz, damage, and dullness.

Keratin treatments restore and seal keratin back into your hair shaft, resulting in:

Reduced frizz
Enhanced shine
Smoother texture
Easier styling

What to Expect During Your Keratin Treatment at Venelle

Your stylist will start with a thorough consultation to assess your hair texture, condition, and goals. After a gentle shampoo, the keratin formula is carefully applied, followed by a blow-dry and flat iron sealing to lock in the treatment. The entire process takes about 2–3 hours depending on hair length and treatment chosen.

Post-Treatment Care Tips

Avoid washing your hair for 48–72 hours to let the treatment fully set
Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to prolong results
Minimize heat styling to keep your hair healthy
Schedule follow-up treatments every 3–5 months for best results
