The Ultimate Guide to Keratin and Smoothing Treatments in New York City
By Fabi Pro Beauty – Master Colorist & Hair Extensions Specialist in Midtown Manhattan
If you live in New York, you already know how challenging it is to keep your hair smooth, shiny, and frizz-free.
Between humidity, subway heat, and daily styling, your hair can lose its natural shine and become dull or unruly.
At Fabi Pro Beauty, we specialize in premium keratin and smoothing treatments that restore health, manageability, and radiance to every strand — all in a private, luxurious studio experience.
This complete guide explains every type of keratin and smoothing treatment we offer in our Manhattan studio, including their benefits, ingredients, longevity, aftercare, and prices in New York.
What Is a Keratin or Smoothing Treatment?
Keratin and smoothing treatments are designed to replenish the protein that naturally exists in your hair, sealing the cuticle, reducing frizz, and restoring shine. They help make styling easier and protect the hair from humidity.
However, not all treatments work the same way. Some give a straighter finish, others repair damaged hair without removing natural curl.
Results depend on your hair type, texture, and previous chemical history.
💡 Important: Every head of hair is unique. Texture, porosity, and curl pattern influence how your hair reacts.
Some clients achieve a sleek look in one session, while others (especially with resistant or coarse hair) may need more than one application for the desired level of straightness.
How to Maintain Your Results – Aftercare Tips
To make your treatment last and keep your hair healthy:
- Use sulfate-free and sodium-chloride-free shampoo and conditioner.
- Avoid washing your hair for the first 48–72 hours after the treatment (depends on formula).
- Do not tie, clip, or tuck your hair behind your ears during this period.
- Protect your hair from chlorine, saltwater, and excessive heat.
- Use a silk pillowcase and detangle gently from ends to roots.
- Schedule hydration masks or gloss treatments every 4-6 weeks for shine maintenance.
These steps will preserve your smooth, shiny results and extend the longevity of your treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Will my hair be 100% straight?
Not always. Each formula has different straightening strength, and results depend on your texture. Very curly or resistant hair may need a second session or a stronger formula.
2. Can I color my hair after keratin?
Yes! Most formulas allow color either before or after, but timing matters. We’ll guide you during your consultation.
3. Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Only our formaldehyde-free treatments (like Magic Sleek, Taninoplastia, and GK The Best) are considered safe, but always check with your doctor.
4. Does keratin make hair thinner?
No, it smooths and seals the cuticle, which can make hair feel lighter. It actually protects from breakage when done correctly.
