Say goodbye to frizz for months. Cezanne keratin treatments and Brazilian Blowout — formaldehyde-free, color-safe, and worth every minute.
Frizz-free, smooth, manageable hair. Choose the treatment that fits your hair type and how long you want results to last.
The gold standard in safe, effective hair smoothing. Cezanne uses a plant-based glyoxylic acid formula that penetrates the hair shaft to eliminate frizz, reduce curl, and dramatically improve manageability — without the health risks associated with formaldehyde-based treatments. Results last 3–5 months, and the treatment is safe for color-treated hair.
Price includes full application
The same Cezanne formula in a shorter application time — designed for clients maintaining previous Cezanne work or those who want frizz control without committing to the full treatment time. Results last approximately 6–10 weeks, making it a great option between full Cezanne treatments to keep your hair smooth and manageable.
Starting price — varies by length
A professional smoothing treatment that coats the hair with a liquid keratin formula to eliminate frizz, lock out humidity, and add exceptional shine. Brazilian Blowout is known for its immediate results and versatility — it can be customized to reduce frizz completely or just tame it, depending on your preference. Priced at consultation.
Pricing varies by length & density
Not all keratin treatments are equal. Many of the older smoothing treatments on the market use formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing chemicals — which produce fumes during application and raise real health concerns for stylists and clients alike.
Cezanne took a different approach. Their formula uses glyoxylic acid — a plant-derived compound found naturally in unripe fruit — to restructure the hair and eliminate frizz without any harsh chemicals. The result is just as effective, lasts just as long, and is safe to use in an enclosed salon environment.
That’s why Brian Richard’s chose it. We’re not going to expose our team or our clients to something we wouldn’t be comfortable with ourselves.
If humidity turns your hair into a cloud within an hour of styling, a keratin treatment is one of the most effective long-term solutions available. Results hold up through New England summers, rain, and workouts.
Most clients report their blow-dry time cutting by 50–70% after a Cezanne treatment. If you're spending 45 minutes on your hair every morning, this treatment pays for itself in time within a few months.
Keratin treatments don't have to eliminate curl entirely — we can customize the result to reduce frizz and volume while keeping your natural wave pattern. Tell us what you want and we'll calibrate accordingly.
Unlike some older smoothing treatments, Cezanne is completely safe for color-treated hair. It won't strip your balayage, lift your color, or affect your tone — in fact, many clients find their color looks richer and more vibrant after treatment.
If you dread rainy days, avoid the gym because of what it does to your hair, or find yourself constantly reaching for a straightener — this treatment was made for you. Many of our clients call it the most life-changing service they've ever had done.
If you've done Cezanne before and want to maintain results between full treatments, the Express Keratin is the perfect solution — same formula, shorter application, refreshed smoothness at a fraction of the cost.
Your stylist starts by washing your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove product buildup and open the cuticle. This ensures the Cezanne formula fully penetrates the hair shaft and bonds evenly throughout.
The Cezanne treatment is applied section by section from root to tip. Your stylist works through the hair methodically to ensure every strand is coated evenly. The formula is then left to absorb into the hair for a processing period.
After blow-drying, your stylist flat-irons the hair in small sections at a high temperature. This step seals the Cezanne formula into the hair cuticle, locking in the smoothness and creating the long-lasting bond that gives the treatment its results.
Unlike older keratin treatments that required a 48–72 hour waiting period, Cezanne requires no downtime. You can wash your hair, tie it up, or work out the same day. We'll send you home with care instructions to maximize how long your results last.
What you do at home has a significant impact on how long your Cezanne treatment lasts. A few simple habits can add weeks to your results.
The Cezanne Keratin Treatment lasts 3–5 months. The Cezanne Express lasts 6–10 weeks. Brazilian Blowout results last approximately 8–12 weeks. All results vary based on hair type, wash frequency, and home care.
| Treatment | Typical Duration | Key Factor |
|---|---|---|
| Cezanne Keratin | 3–5 months | Wash frequency, sulfate-free shampoo |
| Cezanne Express | 6–10 weeks | Best for maintenance between full treatments |
| Brazilian Blowout | 8–12 weeks | Humidity exposure, water quality |
The Cezanne Keratin Treatment lasts 3–5 months depending on your hair type and how often you wash. The Cezanne Express lasts approximately 6–10 weeks, making it a great maintenance option between full treatments. Brazilian Blowout results typically last 8–12 weeks.
One of balayage’s biggest advantages is longevity. Most clients come back every 10–16 weeks — some even longer — because the soft regrowth line doesn’t demand an immediate touch-up the way foil highlights do. Your stylist can advise on a maintenance schedule that fits your lifestyle and budget.
Yes — and it looks stunning on darker hair when done right. Dark-to-light balayage requires a careful lifting process to avoid brassiness. Our colorists are experienced with high-lift color on darker bases and will walk you through what’s achievable in one session versus a gradual approach over multiple visits. We’ll always be honest with you about what your hair can handle.
Brassiness is the most common complaint clients bring to us from other salons. It happens when the underlying warm pigments aren’t properly neutralized during the toning step. At Brian Richard’s, every balayage is finished with a toner or glaze formulated to neutralize your specific undertones. We’ll also send you home with recommendations to maintain the tone between visits.
Balayage pricing varies based on your hair’s length, density, and what we’re trying to achieve — so we price it after your consultation rather than quoting a number before we’ve seen your hair. What we can tell you is there are no surprises at checkout. We’ll give you a clear price before we start.
Yes. Corrective color is a significant part of what we do. If your balayage went too warm, too light, looked uneven, or just wasn’t what you asked for — book a complimentary consultation and we’ll assess what’s needed to get your hair where it should be. Come in with photos of what you wanted and we’ll have an honest conversation about what’s achievable.
