What it is

A keratin smoothing treatment that cuts frizz and drying time without taking the curl out entirely. It loosens texture rather than removing it, which is the honest description of what it does.

Ideal candidate

Wavy to curly hair that fights a blow-dry. Not the right service if you want your curls gone completely, and Ines will say so.

What it treats

  • Frizz

Who performs it

Ines Fontaine

Texture Specialist

Curly and coily hair, cut dry

Ines cuts curls dry, curl by curl, and will not cut your hair wet no matter how you ask. She works with every pattern from a loose wave to a tight coil, and half of a first appointment with her is learning what your hair does without product in it.

Rosa Delgado

Senior Stylist

Fine and fragile hair

Rosa built her chair around hair that other stylists call difficult: fine, flat, fragile, or thinning. She is the one who will talk you out of the heavy balayage you saw on someone with three times your density, and put you in a gloss and a cut that makes your hair look twice as thick.
