Brazilian Blowout · Mason, OH

Smooth, shiny hair that stays easy

A smoothing treatment in two versions, chosen with your stylist to fit your hair and how long you want it to last.

A Brazilian Blowout is a smoothing treatment that leaves hair smoother and shinier. At Kim Harper Salon in Mason, Ohio, we offer two versions: Brazilian Express, which lasts about 6 to 8 weeks, and Brazilian Original, which lasts months.

Smooth, shiny dark hair with a polished finish

Which smoothing version fits you?

Some mornings your hair cooperates and some mornings it fights back. A smoothing treatment is meant to make the everyday routine calmer, so styling takes less effort and the finish looks polished with less work.

Brazilian Express is the shorter commitment, lasting about 6 to 8 weeks. It suits guests who want to try smoothing, or who like the freedom of a result that fades within a couple of months. Brazilian Original lasts months, and suits guests who want a longer stretch of easier hair.

The right version depends on your texture, your goals and how you feel about upkeep. Someone with wavy hair who wants less frizz for a season may choose differently than someone with very coarse hair who wants a lasting change.

If this is your first smoothing treatment, we ask for a consultation first. Your stylist looks at your hair, asks about previous color or chemical services and explains what to expect. A treatment pairs well with a fresh women's haircut, since shape shows best on smooth hair.

Guests often ask whether this is the same as a blowout. It is not. A luxury blowout styles your hair for the day, while a smoothing treatment changes how your hair behaves for weeks or months. Many people enjoy both, and your stylist can suggest how to combine them. Bring photos of the finish you love, and tell us how much time you give your hair each morning.

Book Your Appointment
  • First timer consult

    If you have never had a smoothing treatment, a consultation comes first. You and your stylist talk through your hair history, texture and goals before choosing a version.

  • Two versions

    Brazilian Express lasts about 6 to 8 weeks. Brazilian Original lasts months. Your stylist helps you weigh the difference against your lifestyle, so you pick the one you will enjoy.

  • A longer visit

    This is a service you plan for, not squeeze in. Your stylist works through the treatment carefully, and you leave with clear aftercare instructions for the days that follow.

  • Easier daily styling

    The point is a smoother, shinier base. Expect to spend less time fighting frizz and more time simply wearing your hair the way you like it.

What happens during the appointment?

Your stylist starts by confirming your goals and checking your hair. If you have recently colored, lightened or had other chemical services, mention it, because the order of services matters.

The treatment is applied section by section so every strand is covered evenly, then your hair is dried and finished with heat as part of the process. Your stylist will tell you exactly how the steps unfold for the version you chose.

You will go home with aftercare guidance. Follow it closely, because the first days shape how well the treatment settles in, and our stylists would rather over explain than leave you guessing.

How do I make it last?

Ask your stylist which shampoo and conditioner to use, and stick with them. Our professional lines include Redken, Wella, Keune and Kevin Murphy, and your stylist can match one to your hair. Gentle, steady care helps a smoothing result stay looking its best for as long as it should.

Treat the first few days carefully, as your stylist directs. Later, a conditioning treatment can add shine and softness between visits.

Because the length of results varies, Express will fade sooner than Original. That is normal and expected. When it fades, you simply return to your natural texture, and you can decide whether to book again.

Is smoothing right for every head of hair?

Not always, and we would rather be upfront. Hair that has been heavily lightened or recently chemically treated may need extra thought, and your stylist may suggest waiting or choosing a different path.

Smoothing also changes how your hair behaves, so if you love your natural wave or curl, think carefully before committing. The treatment is meant to smooth, not to create a different texture, and no treatment can promise identical results on everyone.

If you are planning color, ask about sequencing, and consider a gloss or toner beforehand so your shade looks its best.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Express and Original?

Brazilian Express lasts about 6 to 8 weeks, making it a shorter commitment. Brazilian Original lasts months. Both aim for smooth, shiny hair. Your stylist will help you pick based on your texture, your goals and how long you want the result to stay.

Do I need a consultation first?

If this is your first smoothing treatment, yes. A consultation lets your stylist look at your hair, ask about color history and recommend a version. Returning guests may be able to book directly, and we are happy to help if you are unsure.

Can I color my hair as well?

Often yes, but the order and timing matter. Tell your stylist about every service you have planned. Multiple services may be needed for a look, so a short conversation up front helps us plan visits that protect your hair and your result.

Will it change my natural texture forever?

No. A smoothing treatment is not permanent, and your natural texture returns as the treatment fades. Express fades sooner, and Original lasts longer. If you are curious how your hair will respond, raise it during your consultation.

What does it cost?

The price varies by stylist level, hair length, density and the version you choose, so there is no single number here. See the Service Menu for current pricing, or ask during your consultation for a more accurate quote.
