Home >> Services >> Hair Straightening
Our salon-grade keratin treatments offer the perfect balance between smoothing and maintaining natural movement. Unlike at-home alternatives, our professional formulations penetrate the hair shaft to repair internal damage while coating the exterior with protective proteins.
This dual-action approach not only creates immediate smoothness but also improves hair health over time.
The Brazilian Blowout represents the gold standard in customizable smoothing treatments. This creates a protective layer around each strand without breaking natural bonds, allowing for personalized results ranging from eliminated frizz to complete straightening.
The versatility makes it ideal for Northbrook clients with active lifestyles – you can tie your hair back, exercise, or wash immediately without compromising results. Our specialized aftercare protocols ensure longevity throughout the Chicago's seasons.
Expert Consultation and Analysis
Every straightening service begins with a consultation where we evaluate different factors that might affect your treatment.
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, our Northbrook stylists consider your hair's porosity, elasticity, previous chemical exposure, and natural texture.
This allows us to customize formulations, processing times, and heat levels specifically for your hair profile, ensuring optimal results without unnecessary damage or product waste.
Our salon uses premium-grade straightening systems as we regularly update our product lines. Our Northbrook stylists provide comprehensive education on product selection, washing techniques, and heat styling practices tailored to your specific treatment.
We offer specialized shampoos and conditioners formulated to extend the life of your service. Regular maintenance appointments help preserve your results, with our stylists making minor adjustments to accommodate new growth and seasonal changes.
At Ida's Salon Northbrook, our straightening services deliver more than just smooth hair—they provide freedom from daily styling struggles

Results vary by treatment type: Keratin treatments typically last 3-5 months and Brazilian blowouts 10-12 weeks. Your hair type, maintenance routine, and product usage significantly impact longevity.
Arrive with clean, product-free hair. Avoid using heavy conditioners or styling products 24-48 hours before your appointment. For best results, address any scalp issues beforehand, and be prepared to discuss your hair history, including previous chemical treatments.
Professional treatments use salon-exclusive formulations not available for retail purchase. Our controlled application, specialized equipment, and expert techniques ensure even, long-lasting results that at-home alternatives cannot match. Professional treatments also typically cause less damage than regular use of flat irons.
Sulfate-free, sodium chloride-free shampoos and conditioners are essential for maintaining your straightening treatment.
