What the service does
This service includes a relaxer application targeted at up to 2" of new growth and is intended for clients who do not need a short-hair mold & style finish. If your hair is short and requires a mold and shape, do not book this service—choose Relaxer Touch-up & Style (NOT Short Hair) instead. The focus is on roots rather than a full reapplication.
The finish provided suits mid-length to longer hair where the stylist will apply a targeted chemical smoothing to new growth and then style accordingly. It is not designed to recreate or reshape short cuts; if shaping or a short-hair mold is required, you should book the specified short-hair service instead.
How results are shaped
Several factors influence how the relaxer performs and how the styled finish looks: previous chemical services, existing strand condition, and hair porosity all affect evenness and manageability. Stylists assess the history of the hair during consultation to determine whether a targeted touch-up is appropriate or whether a different service is safer or more effective.
Local climate and lifestyle also matter—Washington’s humid summers can shorten the lifespan of a sleek finish, and frequent commuting or active family schedules influence product and maintenance recommendations. Your stylist will discuss realistic trade-offs between a quick touch-up and more extensive services based on these factors.
Appointment and local tips
This Signature Relaxer & Style session is $195 and scheduled for 45 minutes. We offer flexible early-morning and evening slots to accommodate parents and shift workers, and the salon’s location near Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and Brookland‑CUA Metro stations makes after-work appointments convenient for commuters from the Langdon neighborhood and surrounding areas.
Expect a brief consultation at the start to confirm you have no more than 2" of new growth and that your hair does not require a short-hair mold. Tell your stylist about prior chemical or color services so they can confirm suitability and recommend follow-up care and timing for future appointments.
