Our Straightening Services

Keratin Treatments

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.

Brazilian Blowout

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.

The Ida's Salon Advantage

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.

Quality Products and Applications

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Straightening

How long do professional straightening treatments last?

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.

How should I prepare for my straightening appointment?

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.

What's the difference between salon straightening and at-home straightening?

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.

What aftercare products should I use?

Sulfate-free, sodium chloride-free shampoos and conditioners are essential for maintaining your straightening treatment. We recommend professional-grade products specifically formulated for chemically treated hair, which are available at our Northbrook salon. Heat protectants are also crucial if you use hot tools.
