Keratin treatment, also known as “the Brazilian Blowout”, is a treatment that recently created much controversy pertaining to health and safety issues and has been band from many salons because of safety concerns. Even though these treatments have met OSHA’s guidelines, many would argue that the low percentage of formaldehyde emitted when flat-ironing may still be harmful to both stylist and client.
Edison Restrepo, of Pierre Michel Salon, strongly believes when this service is performed by a skilled technician, you can continue to achieve great results with no harm to the client’s health. However, there is one alternative that Edison highly recommends, the 4 Ever Smooth New Age Keratin Treatments. This treatment has virtually no smoke or fumes, contains five times more keratin (the protein that smoothes and strengthens the hair), takes only about an hour, can last up to 5 months and the client can shampoo his/her hair on the same day. The results of this treatment like the controversial Brazilian Blow Out, leaves the hair smooth, frizz free with body.
Edison also performs the Global Keratin Treatment with Juvexin. Juvexin revitalizes and rejuvenates the hair shaft. Juvexin, a natural derivative protein similar to the structure of hair bonds to the surface and with the help of the needed temperature from the heat of the flat iron creates the desired style. Having the choice of different strengths will help to create excellent results.
Edison Highly recommends the alternatives mentioned as a substitute to the Keratin / Brazilian Blow Out. The final outcome remains the same achieving similar goals. These treatments improve hair strength and shine, improve dry feel of hair, improves color retention of dry hair and the straightening of the hair reduces future breakage.
Edison is available at Pierre Michel Tuesday through Saturdays for any of the above “safer” treatments. Please call the front desk to make your appointment or consultation.
