2. What is the difference between a regular manicure/pedicure and a gel manicure/pedicure?

5. What is the difference between Japanese and Keratin Smoothing?
-
Japanese straightening, also known as thermal reconditioning, is a permanent hair straightening method that transforms curly or wavy hair into sleek, straight locks. It uses a chemical solution and heat to alter the hair’s structure.
-
Keratin smoothing treatments are semi-permanent procedures that smooth the hair, reduce frizz, and enhance shine. They involve applying a keratin-based formula to the hair and sealing it with heat.
-
Japanese straightening is best for those with thick, curly, or frizzy hair who want a permanent straight look. Keratin smoothing is ideal for those looking to reduce frizz and enhance manageability without losing their natural texture.
6. How long do the results last?
Japanese straightening offers long-lasting results, often up to 6-12 months, depending on hair type and maintenance. Keratin smoothing typically lasts 3-6 months.
7. Can I revert back to my natural hair after treatment?
With Japanese straightening, hair will remain straight until it grows out or is cut. In contrast, keratin smoothing gradually washes out, allowing your natural texture to return over time.
8. Is there any damage to the hair?
Both treatments can cause some damage. Japanese straightening can be more intensive, potentially leading to dryness if not properly maintained. Keratin treatments are generally less damaging but require care to maintain results.
9. Which treatment is more suitable for my hair type?
Consult with your stylist to determine the best option based on your hair type, desired results, and lifestyle. They can help you assess which treatment aligns with your hair goals.
10. What is the difference between balayage and highlights?
-
Highlights involve lightening specific sections of hair using a coloring technique that creates contrast against your natural color. This can add dimension and brightness.
-
Balayage is a freehand painting technique where color is applied to the hair in a way that creates a natural, sun-kissed effect. It typically results in softer, more blended highlights.
-
Highlights are usually applied using foils or a cap, resulting in more defined stripes of color. Balayage is more organic and allows for a more customized look with softer transitions.
-
Both methods can last several weeks, but balayage tends to grow out more naturally, requiring fewer touch-ups compared to traditional highlights, which may need more frequent maintenance.
11. What is a lash lift and how long does it last?
A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that curls your natural lashes. Results typically last 6-8 weeks.
