Hi there, are you in need of an awesome hairdresser who specializes in The Best Brazilian Keratin Smoothing Treatments? Then you have landed on the right web page, my name is Raigen; Keratin Smoothing Treatment Expert, Master Colourist and Fabulous Hairdresser. I work at ‘VIP Salon and Spa' Kingsway location, near Fraser in Vancouver, BC, where I offer the best smoothing treatments available in Canada. I have the experience to address any needs my clients request regardless of their heritage or background. I have experience in European Hair, thick Persian hair, African Canadian hair, East Indian hair and Asian hair. I have done fine, medium and coarse strong hair and have been able to fine-tune this treatment to address all of your needs with confidence.
I have also been doing very thorough research in trying to find the best keratin treatments available in both Canada and the United States. When Brazilian Blowout, Coppola Keratin Complex and Cadiveu Brasil Cacau Keratin Thermal Reconstruction were banned in Canada, I, along with my clients, was devastated by the news it contained Formaldehyde. Rather, it was Methylene Glycol, the active ingredient that made it achieve the magnificent results that were loved by all of my smoothing treatment clients.
For most of 2011, I thought that all products needed Methylene Glycol for it to work because I tested ‘all natural’ products and so many ‘Cysteine Type’ products that did not live up to the promises they made in their marketing materials. However, there was one company that gave me hope, which will remain unnamed, it had the ability to reduce volume, frizz and left the hair shiny and smooth. That said, it was the original solution which damaged artificial colour. My clients loved what it did to reduce frizz but hated what it did to their colour. By the time they came out with an improved formula it was difficult to get my clients willing to try anything from this particular company. But back to my point, it did begin to make me believe that 'Cysteine Type' products will work in spite of the results I had from most products that flooded the Canadian market in late 2010 and early 2011.
By the end of 2011, things began to change for the better, I discovered ‘Liquid Keratin Professional Restorative Smoothing Treatment’, not to be mistaken with Liquid Keratin at Home product that comes from the same company. It does get the hair straighter, smoother, and shinier with less volume and it is taking Vancouver Salons by storm. And I can say I love it and I love the results.
Liquid Keratin Professional Restorative Smoothing Treatment is an exclusive new system developed to promote hair straightening, smoothing and relaxing waves while repairing damage caused from other chemical processes. Because of its ability to penetrate the hair fibre, Liquid Keratin Professional Restorative Smoothing Treatment, provides more shine, conditioning, strength and resistance to hair fibers damaged by other chemical processes. This new treatment is certified Formaldehyde & Aldehyde Free.
Their keratin is a purified protein fraction isolated from pure New Zealand wool. These keratin proteins and keratin peptides both have molecular weights which allow the formation of coherent films on the cuticle surface and penetration into the cortex. In independent clinical lab studies, Liquid Keratin treated hair was Longer, Softer, Shinier with 100% Less Frizz. This could be the blowout you've been holding your breath for.
In early February 2012 I was introduced to the new Global Keratin, GKhair ‘The Best’ Keratin Treatment. OMG, I can get an African American afro into very loose waves and even bone straight. That is right, you read it right. Kinky stubborn strong afro hair bone straight!! I cannot say enough about this product. The results are AMAZING! The results blow my mind and, it does not contain Methylene Glycol, I can hardly believe it and I am the only hairdresser in all of British Columbia that is offering this service at my salon.
GKHair 'The Best' Keratin Smoothing Treatment leaves the hair shiny, smooth, and frizz-free. The benefits are: Certified Formaldehyde and Aldehyde free by 3rd party laboratory; Thio-Free, Sodium Hydroxide Free, Guanidine Free, Scent Free, No Burning; Straightens and smoothes hair; Penetrates hair to enhance strength and elasticity and revitalizes dry, damaged, frizzy, and hard to manage hair; Bio-Restore Complex to repair extremely damaged hair from chemical processes and/or external aggressors (UV rays, wind, and humidity); Provides strength, resistance and natural flexibility; Enhances shine; Nourishes and conditions hair to restore vibrancy and manageability; Reduces volume and enhances luster for vibrant healthy hair; Treatment is rinsed out immediately after service. No waiting time. Hair can be colored the same day as service. And GK Hair is only one of two products that use the term ‘straighten,’ and it really does produce results. "The Best" way to tame and manage your hair, rejuvenates while straightening and strengthening hair for up to 5 months.
"The Best" reduces the stiffness (elastic modulus) in the hair, this reduction or softening effect causes the hair to lose its natural curl and feel softer. The greater the concentration along with application of Juvexin, the softer or straighter the hair will become. Juvexin penetrates throughout the hair shaft delivering important conditioning and moisturizing benefits. This improves the softness and reduces friction enabling the hair to better withstand heat, helps make hair become less prone to breakage and improves the lubricity of hair, giving hair overall better manageability. On both wet and dry hair there is less entanglement during brushing, making the hair less prone to breakage and improving manageability.
What is Juvexin? Juvexin is a special blend of proteins and peptides optimized specifically for hair. Juvexin has been developed to protect and restore the hair back to its youthful state and is found in all GKhair products worldwide. Juvexin restores your hair to its pristine condition. It puts back the same properties found in young, healthy and vibrant hair which are usually lost over time. There is nothing artificial and no harsh chemicals are used.
Just when I thought, my research was done in finding the best products, Brazilian Blowout fixed the problems they had with their Zero product. At the beginning of May 2012, Brazilian Blowout re launched Brazilian Blowout Zero with the much better Brazilian Blowout Zero Plus. No-rinse, easier-to-use formula delivers better curl and frizz reduction in just 60 minutes with ZERO down time! 0% Formaldehyde released before, during or after the treatment.
A new & improved proprietary plant-derived Kerasafe™ Bonding System effectively deposits and seals essential amino acids onto the hair for a smooth, frizz-free surface that lasts up to 12 weeks.
Smooth, frizz-free radiant hair in 60 minutes! ZERO DOWN TIME! Deep conditions and promotes radiant shine. Improves the overall health and condition of the hair. Acai Aftercare Maintenance Products help maintain the treatment between visits.
Brazilian Blowout ZERO+ has been shown to be most effective with clients that have thinner hair or less challenging waves and/or curls. ZERO+ delivers actually promotes volume at the root area of the hair for exceptional body and bounce.
Brazilian Blowout Zero Plus, Liquid Keratin Professional Restorative Treatment and GK Hair the Best are the only Cysteine Synergy deliver method that actually uses the term ‘straighten’ in their marketing. I can finally say that my research is complete. I guarantee you that I carry the carry the absolutely best treatment that is available and would definitely pass the stringent Health Canada standards when it comes to smoothing treatments.
