What the treatment does
A Keratin Smoothing Treatment is a professional salon service that reduces frizz and smooths hair structure so strands behave more predictably when drying. At Geneva’s hair services the process produces hair that feels silkier and dries nicer; clients typically see these outcomes last for a period quoted by the industry and by our records.
Results commonly last around 4-6 months, so you’ll notice a sustained change in how your hair manages humidity and styling. Individual outcomes vary by natural texture and maintenance; the treatment does not permanently change your hair and will gradually lessen with regular washing and natural hair growth.
Factors that shape results
How long the smoothing effect lasts and how the hair looks each morning depend on your starting texture, previous chemical services and daily routine. Thicker, more porous or chemically treated hair can respond differently than fine, untreated hair, and expectations should be set during your consultation so the stylist can tailor approach and aftercare guidance.
Local climate in Portland — cool, wet winters and mild summers with frequent rain from fall through spring — influences maintenance. Clients who bike or walk in rainy weather often prioritize longer-lasting smoothing effects to reduce daily styling time; your commute and lifestyle help determine recommended follow-up and product choices.
Practical appointment details
Appointments require a professional consultation and a focused service period: the service is scheduled for 120 minutes and the price is $400. Geneva’s hair services is located in the Kerns neighborhood, convenient to I-84, MAX light rail and bus lines, making it practical for busy professionals to book around early mornings, lunch breaks or evenings.
On the day of your appointment bring any recent color or chemical history and photos of the finish you want. Your stylist will review expectations, note hair condition and recommend maintenance. Because results depend on individual hair factors, the stylist will explain realistic outcomes rather than promising specific cosmetic guarantees.
