At GC by George Charles, we offer two exceptional keratin smoothing systems to match your lifestyle and hair goals. Understanding the differences between our classic keratin treatment and keratin express service will help you choose the best option for you.
Classic Keratin Treatment
Our Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment delivers dramatic, long-lasting results for those seeking smoother, silkier hair. This premium service transforms your hair by reducing curl and frizz, creating straighter and more manageable locks. Results can be personalized and last up to 12 weeks.
The Process
Your journey to smoother, frizz-free hair begins with a consultation, followed by our signature 3-step process. We start with a deep cleansing to prepare your hair, followed by careful application of the keratin formula. After allowing time for deep penetration, we complete the service with our finishing process. The entire service takes approximately 3 hours, delivering immediate results.
Ideal Candidates for Natural Keratin Smoothing
Our Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment works beautifully for clients with thick, coarse, or highly textured hair. It’s perfect for those who want maximum smoothing. This treatment requires a longer salon visit but rewards you with months of easier styling and hair management.
Keratin Express
The Keratin Express offers impressive smoothing results in a fraction of the time required for a full keratin treatment. This service is perfect for those seeking easier manageability without committing to long-term results.
The Process
This quick treatment can be added to any service and allows clients to wash their hair just 24 hours after leaving the salon. Following product application, you’ll wait about 60-90 minutes before we complete the service with our finishing process.
Ideal Candidates for Keratin Express
If you’re considering a keratin treatment for the first time, the Express is an excellent choice. This treatment allows you to experience the results of a keratin service without committing to a long-term change. It’s also ideal for those who prefer a shorter salon visit.
For clients with finer hair, the Express is suitable since it’s gentler than a traditional keratin service. Our Express smoothing treatment helps eliminate impurities while restoring hair.
Classic Keratin vs Keratin Express: Results
Our Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment provides up to 12 weeks of smoother hair with a significant reduction in curl pattern and frizz.
With Keratin Express, you’ll enjoy 4 weeks of improved manageability while maintaining natural movement. This gentler treatment offers moderate frizz reduction while still helping to cut down on styling time.
Expert Application at GC by George Charles
At GC by George Charles, our salon professionals have extensive training in all types of smoothing treatments. During your consultation for keratin, we’ll consider your current hair texture and condition, desired results, lifestyle, and daily styling routine to recommend the perfect option for you.
Maintaining Your Results
Preserving the beauty of your keratin service requires thoughtful aftercare. Our experts will guide you on proper at-home maintenance to extend the life of your results.
For our classic keratin treatment, we recommend our curated collection of sulfate-free products designed specifically for treated hair. These gentle yet effective formulas help maintain that fresh-from-the-salon smoothness while protecting your investment.
The Keratin Express treatment, while requiring less intensive maintenance, still benefits from proper care. We’ll introduce you to lightweight, protective products that won’t weigh down your hair or compromise the treatment’s effects. Your stylist will create a personalized maintenance plan that fits seamlessly into your daily routine.
