Brazilian Blowouts in Raleigh
A Brazilian Blowout can help reduce frizz and make everyday styling easier. Whether you usually wear your hair smooth or want to keep some curl, the starting point is the finish you want and how you like to style your hair.

When smoothing is worth considering
If you spend a lot of time blow-drying or smoothing your hair, a Brazilian Blowout may help make that routine more manageable. It is intended to reduce frizz, and it can also loosen your curl pattern.
The right choice depends on the result you want. Keeping some movement, wearing your hair smoother and preserving as much curl as possible are different goals. Talk through yours before committing to a treatment.
The appointment is $250 and takes about two hours. You can see a client’s before-and-after photos below, along with feedback about styling and manageability.

Smoothing or a curly haircut?
| Service | What to consider |
|---|---|
| Brazilian Blowout | A chemical smoothing treatment to reduce frizz. It may also loosen your curl pattern. |
| Dry curly haircut | A haircut to change length and shape, following the curls you already have. |
If your main concern is the shape or length of your curls, compare the curly haircut appointments. If you are unsure, call or text before choosing a service.
What to expect from your appointment
Allow about two hours for the treatment. Before the work begins, explain how you normally wear your hair and what you would like to spend less time doing when you style it.
Previous color, lightening and smoothing treatments are part of that conversation. If you also want color or gray coverage, check how to plan the services before booking them together.
If keeping your curls matters
Say so before choosing the treatment. A Brazilian Blowout may loosen curls, and the amount of change can vary. The before-and-after photos show one client’s result; they are not a promise of the same finish for every head of hair.
Product ingredients and any previous reactions should also be discussed before treatment. See the safety question below for the FDA’s guidance.

Plan for your usual routine
Your shampoo, styling habits and plans after the appointment are worth discussing. If you swim regularly or have a trip coming up, mention that when booking so you can get the care instructions for the treatment being used.
Washing guidance and product recommendations depend on the exact formula. Before you leave, make sure you know when to wash your hair and which products to use. Explore the salon’s products if you would like to ask about care at your appointment.
Common questions
How much does a Brazilian Blowout cost?
The appointment costs $250 and takes about two hours.
Will it make my hair straight?
Smoothing can loosen curls as well as reduce frizz. Discuss how you want to wear your hair and how much curl you want to keep before choosing the treatment. Do not assume your curl pattern will stay unchanged.
Is a Brazilian Blowout the same as a blow-dry?
No. A blow-dry styles the hair for a temporary finish. A Brazilian Blowout is a chemical smoothing treatment.
What should I ask about treatment safety?
Ask which product will be used, what ingredients it contains and what precautions are needed. Some hair-smoothing products release formaldehyde when heated, which can cause adverse effects. Read the FDA guidance on hair-smoothing products.
What aftercare should I follow?
Ask for the instructions for the exact treatment used, including when to wash your hair and which products to use. Mention your current shampoo and styling routine before the appointment.
Can I have color and a Brazilian Blowout?
Mention your recent color and any color appointment you have planned. The order and timing need to suit the exact treatment, so confirm them before booking both services. See the color and gray coverage options.
Will I still need to style my hair?
You may still want to blow-dry or style your hair for the finish you like. Smoothing can make hair more manageable, but it does not guarantee a finished style without any effort.
Can I book from outside Raleigh?
Yes. The salon is at 5880 Faringdon Place in North Raleigh. Check the address, hours and directions before planning your visit.
