Quick Answer

Keratin smoothing at Romy Salon in Fairfax VA starts at $295. Brazilian Blowout starts at $345. Both formulas are certified formaldehyde-free. Results last 3–5 months depending on home care. Keratin keeps natural texture but removes ~60% of frizz; Brazilian Blowout removes 80–90% of frizz and gets hair nearly straight while keeping movement. Both are safe on colored hair (best done 1–2 weeks after a color appointment).

What makes our smoothing different

Smoother. Safer.

Formaldehyde-free, always

We only carry formaldehyde-free formulas. No chemical smell. No eye watering. No respiratory irritation. Safe for our team and safe for you.

Tested on real hair types

We have done smoothing treatments on every texture from fine straight to coily 4C. We tell you up front what your specific hair will look like after — no surprises.

Timed with your color

If you also color your hair, we time the treatment 1–2 weeks after color to protect both investments. You leave with a written maintenance plan for the year.

Honest about who shouldn't do it

If your hair is too damaged or you have the wrong texture for the result you want, we will refuse the service. The consultation is free.

Common questions

Before your appointment.

How much does a keratin or Brazilian blowout cost in Fairfax VA?
At Romy Salon, a Keratin Smoothing Treatment starts at $295 and a Brazilian Blowout starts at $345. Final pricing depends on hair length and density. Both treatments include a finishing blowout and styling tutorial. Maintenance gloss between treatments is $65.
How long does the treatment last?
Both keratin and Brazilian blowouts last 3–5 months depending on how often you wash, your hair texture, and your home care routine. Sulfate-free shampoo extends the result significantly. Most clients re-treat every 4 months.
Are these treatments safe? What about formaldehyde?
We only use formaldehyde-free formulas — both the keratin smoothing line and the Brazilian Blowout brand we carry are certified formaldehyde-free. You can be in the salon during the service without any chemical smell or eye/respiratory irritation. We will not perform any treatment that compromises your safety or ours.
What is the difference between a keratin treatment and a Brazilian blowout?
Keratin smoothing is gentler — it removes about 60% of frizz and adds shine while keeping your natural texture (curls become looser waves). Brazilian Blowout is stronger — it removes 80–90% of frizz and your hair becomes nearly straight while still having movement. Brazilian Blowout has no downtime; keratin requires not washing for 72 hours.
Can I get a smoothing treatment with colored hair?
Yes — and actually, getting your color done before a smoothing treatment helps the color last longer. We typically do color, then wait 1–2 weeks for the color to settle, then do the smoothing treatment. The smoothing process can fade fresh color, so timing matters.
How long does the appointment take?
Keratin smoothing is 2–3 hours. Brazilian Blowout is 90 minutes. Both include a deep cleanse, the treatment application, processing, sealing with heat, and a finishing blowout. The Brazilian Blowout is faster because there is no waiting period before washing.

Less frizz. More shine. Three months back.
