I have naturally curly/wavy hair that was always frizzy, puffy, and hard to manage. I got the Keratin smoothing treatment - formaldehyde free from Marlon and my hair is now much more manageable. It is much straighter, smoother and easier to care for. Marlon also made the experience very comfortable and chill. I definitely recommend!

Before, air dry

Price:350 with haircut w/o tip My hair was frizzy, I actually tried curly girl method for a bit and in some days my hair would actually look naturally curly. I got bored of the wavy hair and wanted to do straight hair. I have done japanese straightening and keratin in the past but more than 5 years. I have thick, coarse, and frizzy hair Pro: reduce my frizzy hair 70%, less tangles, less hair breakage, effortless look without straightening it with flat iron, less time styling, looks natural compared to japanese straightening Cons: initial smell ( very strong) got my eyes teary when my hair gets over my face,( I have done 4 or 5 keratin treatment throughout my life and never had this strong smell):this went away on the 2nd wash, makes my hair flat, harder to hide greasy hair It only took 1 hour for the process, they did not waste anytime and worked on your hair. There's literally one person in each side, made it efficient. It did not make my hair pin straight or perfect but Im able to put my hair down with a blow dry only vs puttibg it up in a bun. Cannot attest to longevity since this is my first round; but I will come back again. This is such an easy hair glow up! If you really want specific on what chemicals they put etc, they don't really tell you but I also did not ask. They give you generalize after care instructions. Also, i chose not to wash my hair immediately, I waited till the next day since I really want it to last but I was told I could wash it immediately if I wanted to. Easy appt online and confirmed by text Pics below are before, 1st wash and then 2nd wash. ( I wash my hair every other day

I have been getting keratin done for years and this was by far the best experience I've had! my hair turned out flawless and I'm in love!

My hair 6-7 months out frizz free :)

I've gotten 2 Keratin treatments here and while expensive, it's worth it. My first Keratin treatment lasted 8 months. I use top quality shampoo and conditioner, plus I use hair masks. I also apply olaplex oil on the ends and smoothing cream (not daily but the day I shower after it t dries) By the end of 8 months, my hair was getting back to being intolerably frizzy with the foggy weather. I asked Marlon for the stronger strength because I want to dabble with my hair being straighter. I'll update how the stronger strength is like

This was my very first time at Marlon's salon, but not my first BB. My previous stylist was also very good, but O M G, Marlon and Briana work a special kind of magic. Firstly, the salon is super cute. Second, Marlon also has a great set up with several different fans (of varying sizes), that make the resulting fumes really easy to deal with. Thirdly, I was done in 1 hour 15 minutes () because they work together so well! (For context, I've been at the salon for 3-4 hours for my BBs before). I was a little (very) nervous about my appointment going in to it because of my hair texture but Marlon and Briana didn't miss a single beat, and I left loving my results. I found my new BB salon for sure. Highly recommend.

This is my hair directly after my Brazilian Blowout with Marlon.

I had my hair double-processed with a gorgeous color at another salon the week before, and after the first shampoo and conditioning--it was clear my hair was fried and no amount of sulfate-free, deep conditioning was going to get it to be anywhere near manageable. Having spent a ton of money to get my color, I didn't want to spend my life in a top bun and not show it off. So, after two days of research and scouting the internet--I bit the bullet and decided to get a Brazilian Blowout. I got a last minute appointment with Marlon (my regular salon doesn't offer Brazilian Blowouts). He was very friendly and efficient, made sure I was comfortable and provided a lot of guidance on how to maintain my hair, when would be best to come in again (after my next coloring), etc. We were in a separate room with open windows and lots of fans, as well as a special fan that was placed over my head to suck the fumes out, and I was provided a mask to prevent inhaling fumes. The process involved shampooing, blow drying, applying the product, and flat ironing. I was sent home after that and instructed that I could wash my hair that evening if the product was irritating at all, or the next night if I could hold off. I went to bed with a pony tail and a hair cap to avoid smelling the product or having it on my pillowcase or bedding. I washed my hair in the morning and styled only by blow drying with heat protectant and styling cream. It only took 20 minutes and I was completely frizz free! I was a bit confused and skeptical because my research said after flat ironing, you're supposed to rinse out the product and blow dry again--which didn't happen for me. When I went home and did some more research, it seems like perhaps I received a Brazilian Blowout Zero+ rather than the Original? And Zero+ is better for fine/thin hair and mine is on the thicker/coarser side. But regardless, after the first wash and self-styling--the outcome is highly satisfactory! I would just ask Marlon about what process he's saying, if you're super particular. Lastly, something that cannot be helped is that my hair is very much yellower after the process--Marlon warned me that this could happen and I decided to risk it. So if your hair is prone to brassiness, be ready to double up on the sulfate-free, silicone-free purple shampoo and conditioner to tone your hair back to an ashier color. Overall, would definitely recommend Marlon and his services!

Magic worker! After 28 years struggling with high maintenance curls, I decided to trust Marlon with this treatment and let me say - life changing. I now go back to Marlon every 3-4 months as I'm addicted to the beautiful results of his process. Worth every penny and I highly suggest! Icing on the cake - great music and Marlon is good company during the treatment.

From there, we did an 10 hour transformation going blonde and honestly, that appointment bonded us for life. I've never trusted anyone else since, she's basically my hairstylist and therapist hehe Her balayage is SOOOOO good. It always looks natural, grows out beautifully, and lasts forever without getting brassy. I'm pretty low-maintenance, and somehow my hair still looks put together months later because of her work. Her haircuts are also super clean, and she's actually the one who got me into curtain byayangs and I've stuck with them ever since. What I appreciate most is how much she cares about doing things the right way. When I decided to go back to my natural color, she didn't rush it or take shortcuts. She slowly transitioned me over time and kept my hair healthy through every stage. I live in Los Angeles now and will literally fly home just to see her, that's how good she is! After 11 years, she's more than just my hairstylist, she's someone I trust completely. Highly recommend!
