Relaxers

Q: How long does a relaxer treatment last?

A relaxer treatment typically lasts between 6 to 8 weeks depending on your hair type and maintenance.

Q: Is a relaxer suitable for all hair types?

Relaxers can be suitable for most hair types, but it’s best to have a consultation to determine the right approach for your hair.

Q: Will a relaxer damage my hair?

When applied correctly, relaxers can smooth hair without causing damage. Our use of Olaplex helps protect your hair during the process.

Q: Can I color my hair after getting a relaxer?

Yes, but it's recommended to wait at least two weeks after a relaxer before coloring to ensure optimal results and minimize damage.

Q: How often can I get a relaxer?

Typically, relaxers should not be done more frequently than every 6 to 8 weeks to avoid over-processing and potential damage.

Q: What should I do for aftercare?

Post-relaxer, use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, and consider regular deep conditioning treatments to maintain hair health.

Norah is a gifted hair stylist. Her skills working with curly hair are some of the best I’ve seen. I initially found Norah during my search for a stylist focused on curly hair and she did an exceptional job with my cut. I was so happy with the cut that I asked her to do my color as well. My hair hasn’t looked this healthy in years! I highly recommend Norah!...more

I LOVE my hair!!! I’ve been going to Norah for a couple of years now for blow outs and trims, but this time I wanted to freshen up y look and cover a few grays that had come in. She did exactly what I’d asked for, which was to cover the gray, but also enhance my natural dark brown hair, which had become a bit dull, with a rich color that gives off a subtle burgundy hue, and she nailed it! The photos don’t do it justice, but she’s the best! A pro!...more

Norah was truly such a gift today. She fit me in last minute when I really needed it, and from the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel seen, cared for, and so comfortable. She listened so thoughtfully and gave me the exact layers I had been wanting — soft, flattering, and beautiful. The blowout was perfect, but more than that, I walked out feeling lighter, more confident, and genuinely pretty again. It was my first time coming here, but I already know I’ll be back. Thank you so much, Norah — you made my day....more

Norah is a genius with curly hair. She took the time to listen and observe my curl pattern and offer great advice and services for my hair texture, which has changed over time. I finally found someone who “gets” my hair and I am so glad I found her! I can’t recommend her enough....more
