Keratin Hair Treatment
Intensive smoothing treatment that eliminates frizz, adds shine, and improves manageability
About Keratin Hair Treatment
Transform unruly, frizzy hair into smooth, manageable perfection with our professional Keratin Hair Treatment at Manhattan Barbershop NYC's Chelsea location. This intensive conditioning and smoothing treatment infuses natural keratin protein deep into the hair cuticle, repairing damage, eliminating frizz, and creating a sleek, polished finish that lasts for months. Perfect for men with curly, wavy, coarse, or frizz-prone hair who want easier styling and a more refined appearance. The keratin treatment works by filling in the porous areas of damaged hair, sealing the cuticle, and creating a protective barrier that locks out humidity and environmental stressors. The result is dramatically smoother hair with enhanced shine, reduced styling time, and improved manageability. Your hair will be easier to comb, style faster, and maintain a polished look even in humid conditions. This comprehensive 2-hour treatment includes professional shampooing, keratin application, processing, blow-drying, and styling. Results typically last 3-5 months depending on hair type and maintenance, making it an excellent long-term solution for frizz control and hair health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Professional keratin treatments typically last 3-5 months, depending on your hair type, texture, and how you care for it. Coarser, curlier hair may see results for 4-5 months, while finer hair might need treatments every 3 months. Using sulfate-free shampoos helps extend results.
Keratin treatments primarily smooth and reduce frizz rather than create pin-straight hair like chemical straightening. Your natural wave or curl pattern will be relaxed and softened, making it more manageable and polished. If you want completely straight hair, we can discuss that during consultation.
Yes! Keratin treatments are safe for color-treated hair and can actually help seal and protect your color. However, we recommend waiting 1-2 weeks after coloring before getting a keratin treatment, and vice versa, to ensure optimal results for both services.
Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to preserve the treatment. Avoid washing hair for 48-72 hours after the service to allow keratin to fully bond. We'll provide specific aftercare instructions including recommended products and styling techniques to maximize the treatment's longevity.
We use professional-grade keratin formulas that meet safety standards. Modern keratin treatments have significantly reduced or eliminated formaldehyde compared to older versions. We'll discuss the specific product we use during consultation and address any concerns about ingredients or safety.
