β¨ I Want To Go Brighter or Add Dimension
You need: Highlights or Balayage
What's the difference?
Highlights use foils to lighten sections of hair from root to tip β giving you consistent, uniform brightness throughout. Perfect for a classic, polished look that really pops.
Balayage is a freehand painting technique where color is applied from mid-shaft to ends β giving you a softer, more natural sun-kissed effect with a beautiful low maintenance grow out. No harsh lines at the root.
Not sure which one? If you want something classic and bright β highlights. If you want something natural and effortless β balayage.

π I Want Smooth, Frizz Free Hair
You need: Keratin or Smoothing Treatment
A keratin treatment is a topical game changer for frizzy, unruly, or hard to manage hair β especially on Long Island where humidity is no joke! It smooths the hair from the inside out leaving you with silky, shiny, frizz free hair that's easier to style every single day.
We have two options:
Full Keratin Treatment Best for very frizzy, coarse, or thick hair that needs maximum smoothing. Our keratin specialist Connie has 25 years of experience and her results are absolutely life changing. β±οΈ Time: 1 hour 30 mins
Express Keratin Perfect for a lighter frizz fix, added shine, and more manageable hair without the full commitment. β±οΈ Time: 30 mins
