Keratin Treatments in Apex NC | Artisan Hair Cary
Smoothing treatments that hold up against North Carolina humidity for months, not weeks, for Apex clients tired of fighting frizz.
Keratin Smoothing for Apex Clients Done With Summer Frizz
Apex is close enough to Cary that the drive barely registers, about 10 to 15 minutes up NC-55 to Alston Town Center. What actually brings Apex clients in for keratin treatments is the humidity here in the summer months, which most standard smoothing treatments don't hold up against. Rob Schutzbach, Master Artisan and Educator with over 25 years of experience, oversees the smoothing program at the salon.
Apex clients tell us about the Farmers Market, Salem Street, PeakFest, and Saturday soccer at Pleasant Park while we're working through their smoothing consultation. It's a town that pays attention to detail, which fits how we approach keratin work.

Why Apex Clients Choose Us for Smoothing
Haddon Hall, Scotts Mill, and Bella Casa clients have salons closer to home that offer keratin services. What people mention after their first appointment here is the prep work: we clarify thoroughly and check for buildup before applying anything, which is the step a lot of quick smoothing services skip.
Water matters for keratin longevity too. Apex draws from the Cary and Jordan Lake systems, and mineral buildup can shorten how long a smoothing treatment lasts if it isn't cleared out first. We handle that as part of the appointment, not as an upsell.
The Treatments We Offer
Keratin Complex Smoothing
Our most requested option. It cuts blow-dry time roughly in half, holds up against Triangle summer humidity, and leaves hair noticeably shinier. Formaldehyde-free formulas are available.
GK Hair for Coarser Textures
For thicker or more resistant hair, GK Hair gives a deeper smoothing result and pairs well with color without pulling tone.
Clarifying Prep and Real Aftercare
A keratin treatment is only as good as the prep behind it. We clarify thoroughly, check for mineral buildup, and send you home with sulfate-free, sodium-chloride-free shampoo so the treatment lasts its full lifecycle.
Pricing
Keratin pricing scales with length and density, and express options exist for finer hair. See current pricing on our Service Menu, with a full quote given during your complimentary consultation.

Keratin FAQ for Apex Clients
How long does a keratin treatment actually last?
Around 3 to 4 months with proper home care. A sulfate-free, sodium-chloride-free shampoo is what protects the investment longest.
Will it make my hair completely straight?
No. It smooths and removes frizz while keeping your natural texture or wave. It's not a relaxer or a straightener.
Can color and keratin happen in the same visit?
Yes. We color first, then apply the keratin. Doing both together in one visit actually helps the color lock in better.
