Our Hair Smoothing Treatment begins with a gentle cleansing step, followed by the application of a
professional smoothing formula. We use high-quality keratin hair smoothing treatment products to
reduce frizz, smooth texture, and improve manageability. The treatment ends with a blow-dry and
flat iron finish, leaving your hair shiny, sleek, and touchably soft.
A typical wash and blow or shampoo and style service takes about 45 minutes to an hour. This
includes a relaxing scalp massage, a deep cleansing wash, a conditioning treatment, a blow-dry, and
the final style of your choice. Time may vary depending on hair length, thickness, and the desired
finish.
Come with clean, product-free hair. Our stylists will assess your hair texture, parting preferences, and
desired loc size. Whether you're interested in traditional or starter locs extensions, we’ll guide you
through the process and care routine, so your loc journey begins healthy, strong, and stress-free.
Starter locs are the beginning phase of dreadlocks, typically created using twisting, braiding, or
coiling methods. Dreadlocks are fully matured locs that require regular maintenance. At Carmel, we
offer both—from starting your locs with proper technique to full loc retwist and maintenance for
mature, healthy dreadlocks that last.
Yes! Our hair color and highlight services include both full and partial options. Full highlights give an
all-over brightened look, while partial highlights add dimension to specific areas. Whether you want
subtle, natural-looking highlights or a bolder transformation, we customize each session to your hair
goals and lifestyle.
Braids, including box braids and knotless braids, usually last 4–8 weeks, depending on care and hair
type. To maintain them, keep your scalp clean and moisturized, sleep with a satin bonnet or scarf,
and avoid heavy products. Regular touch-ups along the hairline can help maintain their neatness and
extend their overall wear time.
Yes, V-Light extensions for thin hair are specifically designed for clients with fine or thinning hair. The
technique is lightweight, glue-free, and non-damaging. As a trusted V Light hair extensions salon, we
ensure the extensions are seamlessly applied to add volume and length without stressing your
natural strands or scalp.
Microlocs retightening services are typically needed every 4–6 weeks, depending on your hair’s
growth rate. Regular Microlocs maintenance prevents matting, keeps your parts clean, and helps
your locs stay strong and uniform. At Carmel, we also specialize in retightening sisterlocks with
precision, patience, and scalp-friendly techniques.
Chemical-free hair dye options are made without harsh chemicals like ammonia or parabens. They’re
safer for sensitive scalps and healthier for your hair overall. At our natural hair coloring salon, we use
herbal hair dye salon alternatives that still provide vibrant results—perfect for clients seeking
gentler, non-toxic hair coloring solutions.
When applied professionally, a chemical relaxer for curly hair is safe and effective. At Carmel, we use
a professional hair relaxer system personalized to your hair texture. After your appointment, it’s
important to use moisturizing treatments, avoid overlapping relaxers, and schedule regular trims to
keep your relaxed hair healthy and strong.
