Keratin Treatment in Lancaster & Lititz, PA
Less frizz. Faster mornings. A smoothing formula made without formaldehyde.
Stop Fighting Frizz Every Morning
A keratin treatment in Lancaster or Lititz can give you smoother, more manageable hair that takes less time to style. At Luxe, our stylists use Cezanne keratin smoothing, a treatment Cezanne formulates without formaldehyde, aldehydes, or vapors. Choose Classic smoothing for longer-lasting results or Express smoothing for a quicker, lower-cost option. Book at either of our two salons.
Why Guests Choose Cezanne Keratin Smoothing
Humidity, heat tools, and hair that never quite behaves can turn a simple morning into an hour-long routine. Keratin smoothing is built to shorten that routine.
Why Guests Choose Cezanne Keratin Smoothing
Cezanne’s formula infuses the hair with keratin and conditioning ingredients, then a flat iron seals them in so hair dries smoother and holds a polished shape longer. Cezanne states that the treatment reduces blow-dry and flat-iron time, and that it can eliminate up to 95% of frizz.
A Formula Made Without Formaldehyde
If chemical fumes are what kept you from trying a smoothing treatment, this is worth a closer look. According to Cezanne, its smoothing treatments are 100% formaldehyde free, aldehyde free, hypoallergenic, and release no vapors. Your stylist can show you the product and answer ingredient questions during your consultation.
Smooth, With Your Natural Movement
Keratin smoothing is not the same as stick-straight. Cezanne describes its treatment as softening and lengthening curl while still holding body, so waves and curls loosen and frizz calms instead of disappearing completely. Your stylist will talk through the result you want before you book.
Back to Your Routine Right Away
Many smoothing treatments come with a waiting period before you can wash your hair or tie it back. Your stylist will give you exact aftercare instructions at your visit.
Is a Keratin Treatment Right for Your Hair?
Keratin smoothing tends to suit you if you:
- Fight frizz when it is humid or after every wash.
- Spend a long time blow-drying and flat-ironing.
- Have thick, wavy, or curly hair and want less frizz without losing all of your movement.
- Want smoother hair for a trip, a wedding, or another event.
- Have held off on smoothing treatments because of harsh fumes.
Talk to your stylist first if you are pregnant or nursing, have a sensitive scalp or known sensitivities, or have had other chemical services recently. Mention it when you book or at check-in, and your stylist will recommend the right option for you. If you are pregnant or have a health concern, it is also worth checking with your doctor.
Keratin Treatment Pricing: Classic vs. Express
| Details | CLASSIC SMOOTHING | EXPRESS SMOOTHING |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $435+ | $150+ |
| Typical results | Up to about five months, according to Cezanne | About four to six weeks, according to Cezanne |

The plus sign means starting price. Your stylist will confirm your exact price at your consultation, before your treatment begins. How long results last varies with your hair type, how often you wash your hair, and the products you use. Cezanne also notes that Express can give you a preview of what the full Classic treatment feels like.
What to Expect at Your Keratin Appointment
- Consultation. Your stylist looks at your hair type, history, and goals, then recommends Classic or Express.
- Prep and application. Your hair is washed with a clarifying shampoo, and the smoothing treatment is applied section by section.
- Processing. The treatment sits in your hair for the time your stylist sets for your hair type.
- Blow-dry and heat seal. Your stylist blow-dries and flat-irons your hair to seal the treatment in.
- Aftercare guidance.
You leave with clear instructions for washing and styling so you get the most from your results.
Plan for a longer visit than a standard blowout. Your stylist will confirm timing when you book.
Keratin Treatment on Curly, Wavy, and Color-Treated Hair
Curly and wavy hair. A keratin treatment softens curl and calms frizz rather than removing your natural pattern, according to Cezanne. If you want to keep more of your curl, tell your stylist. They can talk through your options, from smoothing to curl-focused cuts, and you can see the full range of hair salon services here.
Color-treated hair. If you color or highlight your hair, ask your stylist about timing. Cezanne states that its treatment allows coloring right afterward, and your stylist can plan your color and smoothing visits together. Explore hair highlights and color or balayage.
Hair extensions. If you wear extensions, check with your stylist before booking so they can plan around them. See our
hair extensions.
Keeping Your Results Smooth
A few habits help your treatment last longer.
- Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.
- Wash on the schedule your stylist recommends.
- Protect your hair from heat styling.
- Ask your stylist which aftercare products suit your hair.
