Keratin treatments at María Cortes NY on the Upper East Side start at $300 for Lasio keratin, $350 for Mocha Silk keratin and $375 for ProAddiction smoothing. Each includes two ounces of product; extra product is charged by the ounce, so the price depends on how much your hair needs. A keratin treatment smooths frizz and makes hair faster and easier to blow dry, with results that usually last for months. Keratin appointments need a $50 deposit, which is non refundable within 24 hours of the appointment.
Keratin is a protein that hair is made of. A keratin treatment coats and seals the hair so it lies smoother, resists humidity and dries faster. It is a smoothing treatment, not a relaxer: curls and waves usually loosen and frizz drops, while hair keeps its movement.
Repair and scalp treatments
For strength and shine without smoothing, the salon offers K18 molecular repair ($75), Olaplex bond repair ($55), Oribe deep conditioning ($55) and Scalp Solutions ($120), an exfoliating scalp treatment with masque and styling. A blowdry is not included with treatments and is charged by hair length.
Aftercare
Follow the aftercare your stylist gives you, since it depends on the treatment. Washing with sulfate free shampoo helps any keratin treatment last longer.
