Questions
Japanese Straightening Questions, Answered
How long does Japanese hair straightening last?
The treated hair stays straight until it grows out or is cut. As new hair grows in at the roots, many clients book a root touch-up every 4 to 6 months.
What is the difference between Japanese straightening and keratin?
Japanese straightening permanently changes the structure of the treated hair, so it stays straight. A keratin treatment smooths frizz and adds shine for a few months but keeps some of your natural wave. Read Japanese relaxer vs keratin, or see our keratin smoothing treatment.
Is it safe for color-treated or bleached hair?
Lightly colored hair is often fine, but heavily bleached or damaged hair may not be. That is why we check your hair and color history at your consultation, and we will tell you honestly if another option suits you better.
How long does the appointment take?
Usually several hours, depending on your hair's length and thickness. You get a time estimate at your consultation.
When can I wash my hair afterwards?
You need to wait a few days before washing, tying or tucking your hair behind your ears. Your stylist gives you exact aftercare for your treatment.
Will my hair look flat?
No. We aim for smooth, straight hair that still has natural movement. Your stylist can also add soft layers so your style keeps its shape.
How much does it cost?
The price depends on your hair's length and thickness and the treatment you choose. You get a clear price at your free consultation, and new clients get 20% off their first visit.
