FAQs
-
No, smoothing treatments are designed to reduce frizz and improve manageability, not necessarily make your hair completely straight. Your natural texture will look softer, shinier, and easier to style. Depending on the technique used, the treatment can slightly elongate your curl pattern or make the hair appear straighter than it naturally is. Many clients also find it cuts their blow-drying and styling time in half.
-
That depends on the treatment you choose and your home care routine:
Sweet Professional Anti-Frizz: Up to 3 months of smooth, shiny hair.
Brazilian Blowout Free: Around 12 weeks of sleek, frizz-free results.
Keratin Express Blow Out: A quick refresh lasting up to 6 weeks.

Yes! At The Co-Artist Studio, we only use formaldehyde-free and nourishing formulas.

To maintain your results, we recommend:
Using a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner designed for smoothing treatments.
Limiting saltwater, chlorine, and harsh styling products when possible.
Following your stylist’s at-home care plan, which may include a leave-in treatment or heat protectant.
Avoiding excessive washing aim for 2–3 washes per week to extend longevity.
Being mindful that hot yoga and high-heat workouts may cause the treatment to fade more quickly due to excess sweat and heat exposure.
With the right care, your results will stay smoother, longer, and healthier.

If you’re struggling with frizz, dryness, or humidity especially in the Santa Cruz coastal climate smoothing treatments are an excellent option. They work on most hair types, from wavy to curly to straight, and can be customized depending on whether you want to keep your natural texture softer or go for a more polished, sleek look.

Yes, in fact, smoothing treatments can be especially beneficial for damaged hair. We recommend starting with our Sweet Professional Anti-Frizz Treatment, which works by penetrating the cuticle and healing from the inside out.
Your first treatment will focus on hydration, repair, and rebuilding your hair’s strength.
By your second treatment, you’ll notice even more frizz reduction, smoothness, and shine with healthier hair as the foundation.
This approach ensures your hair is restored and protected before achieving the full frizz-free, long-lasting results.

At The Co-Artist Studio, we believe in transparent, personalized pricing so you only pay for what your hair truly needs.
Service Rate (Labor): This reflects your stylist’s time, skill, and artistry in performing the treatment. Because smoothing services vary depending on hair type, length, and complexity, the service rate accounts for the professional care and expertise that go into your results.
Product Investment: In addition to labor, there is a separate charge for the exact amount of smoothing product used on your hair. Since every head of hair is unique in density, length, and texture, product usage can vary to achieve the best outcome.
Product charges typically range from $40–$100, ensuring fairness you’re never overpaying for product you don’t need.
