Frequently Asked Questions

Brazilian Blowouts maintain your hair's natural movement while eliminating frizz and reducing styling time. Keratin treatments focus more on strengthening and repairing damaged hair while also providing long-lasting frizz control and shine. At Hair by Shaay, we help you choose based on your hair goals and condition.

Balayage is a freehand painting technique that creates a more natural, sun-kissed look with softer regrowth lines. Traditional highlights use foils for more uniform, structured color placement. Both are customized during your consultation to complement your natural hair color and desired outcome.

Keratin treatments generally last three to five months depending on your hair type and maintenance routine. The treatment strengthens hair while providing frizz control and shine. Proper aftercare and sulfate-free products help extend the results significantly.

Olaplex rebuilds broken bonds in hair damaged by coloring, heat styling, or mechanical stress. It works at the molecular level to repair and protect hair structure. At Hair by Shaay, we often recommend Olaplex before or after chemical services to maintain hair integrity.

Threading typically causes less skin irritation than waxing because it only removes hair, not skin cells. The sensation varies by individual tolerance, but threading offers more precise control for clean, defined brow lines. It's also ideal for sensitive skin types.

Most people need root touch-ups every four to six weeks as new growth becomes visible. The timing depends on how fast your hair grows and the contrast between your natural and colored hair. Regular touch-ups maintain seamless color and prevent noticeable lines.

A gloss treatment is a semi-permanent service that enhances shine, seals hair color, and creates a smooth, reflective finish. It's ideal after coloring services or between appointments to refresh faded color. At Hair by Shaay, we recommend glossing every four to six weeks for optimal vibrancy.

Deep conditioning treatments restore hydration and improve manageability but work best alongside bond-building treatments like Olaplex for chemically damaged hair. They provide intensive moisture that repairs dryness and improves overall hair health. Regular treatments yield the best long-term results.

Georgia's humidity can challenge frizz control, which makes smoothing treatments especially beneficial in Alpharetta. Brazilian Blowouts create a protective barrier that repels moisture and maintains sleek results even in humid conditions. Proper aftercare products enhance the treatment's effectiveness year-round.

Come with clean, dry hair free of heavy styling products so color can penetrate evenly. Avoid clarifying shampoos the day before, as some natural oils protect your scalp. At Hair by Shaay, we provide personalized consultation and aftercare guidance to maintain your color results.

Washing hair too soon after the treatment is the most common mistake, as it breaks down the keratin bonds before they fully set. Wait at least 48 to 72 hours and use sulfate-free shampoo. Avoiding tight hairstyles during this period also helps maximize treatment longevity.

Haircuts tailored to face shape balance proportions and enhance natural features by adding volume or angles where needed. At Hair by Shaay, we analyze your face shape and hair type during consultation to create customized cuts. Proper styling techniques further complement the cut's intended effect.
