Yes. Our stylists assess hair health, porosity, and styling history, perform strand tests, and select a gentle formula. Protective treatments and precise timing minimize damage so first-time clients achieve safe, even straightening with personalized care and aftercare instructions.

Relaxers permanently alter the treated hair shaft, so the straightened portion remains changed until new growth appears. Future chemical services and heat styling can affect texture. We discuss long-term plans and recommend maintenance to manage growth and keep hair healthy.

Come with clean, dry hair free of heavy product buildup. Avoid chemical treatments or high-heat styling for at least two weeks. Bring notes about past chemical history; if unsure, arrive slightly damp so we can assess porosity and determine the right approach.

Use salon-recommended sulfate-free shampoos, hydrating conditioners, and protein treatments as advised. Avoid excessive heat for several weeks, schedule regular trims, and follow touch-up timelines. We provide a personalized at-home routine and product recommendations to protect and prolong results.

Yes, but timing matters. We typically recommend waiting at least two to four weeks before coloring, depending on hair condition and the chosen color process. Strand tests and a consultation ensure safe overlap of chemical services to minimize damage and achieve desired color.
