Book a Keratin ConsultWhy Wayne Clients Drive to The Warehouse Salon
Wayne is one of our most common commutes. Clients drive over from Packanack, Preakness, and the Willowbrook area specifically because they want a stylist who knows how to get curly and wavy hair smooth without destroying it. That's what we do.
A lot of Wayne clients tell us they've tried at-home keratin kits or cheap smoothing treatments at chain salons. Most of them come to us after it didn't work, or worse, after their hair got fried. We use Brazilian Blowout's formaldehyde-free system and we know how to apply it properly.
We only use formaldehyde-free smoothing systems. That means Brazilian Blowout's zero-formaldehyde formula and professional keratin protein treatments that are safe for pregnant stylists, safe for the client, and safe to use long-term. No burning eyes, no chemical smell, no shortcuts.
Formaldehyde-Free Formulas
Every smoothing system we use is zero-formaldehyde. Brazilian Blowout Zero, protein-based keratins, and express systems that deliver results without the chemical risks of older treatments.
Express or Full Service
Express smoothing runs 90 minutes and lasts 6–8 weeks. Full keratin treatments run 2.5–3 hours and last 3–5 months. Brazilian Blowout is customizable based on how smooth you want to go.
Brazilian Blowout Trained Specialists
Our stylists are directly trained in the Brazilian Blowout application system. That's section size, heat settings, timing, and product ratios dialed in for your specific hair type.
Maintenance Products In Stock
We stock the sulfate-free and sodium-chloride-free shampoos and conditioners that keep your smoothing treatment alive for the full 3–5 months. We'll send you home with what you need.

Keratin FAQs
Is keratin safe? I've heard about formaldehyde issues.
The smoothing treatments we offer are all formaldehyde-free. Brazilian Blowout's current formulas, professional keratin proteins, and express smoothing systems we use have zero formaldehyde. Older keratin treatments from 10+ years ago did contain formaldehyde, which is where the safety concerns came from. What we use today is safe for you, safe for our stylists, and safe to repeat.
How long does a keratin treatment last?
It depends on which system you get and how you maintain it. Express smoothing lasts roughly 6–8 weeks. Full keratin and Brazilian Blowout treatments last 3–5 months on most clients. Using sulfate-free and sodium-chloride-free shampoo is the single biggest factor in making it last longer.
Can I get a keratin treatment if my hair is colored?
Yes. Keratin treatments are actually great on colored hair because the smoothing process seals the cuticle and helps lock in color. We typically recommend coloring first, then waiting at least 10–14 days before the keratin treatment. If you're doing both, let us know at consultation and we'll plan the timing together.
What maintenance do I need after keratin?
Three big rules. One, don't wash your hair for 72 hours after a full keratin treatment (Brazilian Blowout can be washed same day). Two, switch to a sulfate-free, sodium-chloride-free shampoo. Three, avoid pool chlorine and salt water without a leave-in protectant. Do those three and you'll get the full 3–5 months.
Brazilian Blowout vs Keratin Treatment, what's the difference?
Short version: Brazilian Blowout is a branded system that uses cysteine-based smoothing and can be customized from a light anti-frizz finish to a much smoother look. Keratin treatments are protein-based and generally deliver a stronger straightening effect. Brazilian Blowout requires no 72-hour wait. Full keratin does. We'll help you pick based on your hair and how smooth you want to go.
