A straight answer about the name

Searching for a Brazilian blowout in Ormond Beach?

Brazilian Blowout is a brand name that belongs to one company, and that brand is not offered here. If the goal is calmer frizz and hair that copes better with Florida humidity, Vanessa offers smoothing with Keratin Complex and Kerasilk at Hair Goddess Salon, Spa & Boutique in Ormond Beach.

Call the salon to book with Vanessa. She chooses a Keratin Complex or Kerasilk treatment once she has seen your hair.

  1. Your search

    brazilian blowout near me

  2. What those words mean

    A brand name owned by one company

    It refers to a smoothing product from a single maker, though many people use it for any salon smoothing.

  3. What Vanessa offers

    Keratin Complex and Kerasilk

    Professional keratin smoothing for frizz and humidity, with Vanessa choosing the treatment for your hair.

Behind the search

The results people hope for when they search "Brazilian blowout"

The phrase is usually shorthand for a wish list: hair that stays polished through a muggy Florida afternoon. Professional keratin smoothing is designed with that wish in mind.

  • Calm hair when the air is damp

    Smoothed hair tends to absorb less humidity, and in a beach town damp air is often where frizz shows most.

  • Less time with the dryer

    Smoothed hair often dries faster, which can shorten the round-brush routine on busy mornings.

  • A style that holds until evening

    The polished look you leave home with has a better chance of making it to dinner without puffing up at midday.

  • Waves that behave

    Love your natural movement? A lighter treatment can quiet the frizz and leave the wave in place.

The keratin treatment guide covers how smoothing works and who it is best for. Need sleek hair for a single occasion only? A salon blowout could be the simpler answer.

Smoothing brands Vanessa uses at this salon

Vanessa works with two professional smoothing brands, and each offers gentler and stronger choices. Below are a few treatments from each brand's range, described in the makers' words. Vanessa recommends the right one when she sees your hair.

  • Keratin Complex PBO bottle photographed on stacked green and white blocks, a product photo from the maker

    US keratin smoothing brand, first treatment in 2007

    Keratin Complex

    Keratin Complex says each treatment in its range "eliminates frizz, increases manageability, repairs damage," with softer, shinier hair as the result. Two from its range are described below.

    • PBO, the Personalized Blow Out

      Pick the finish

      You choose among Frizz Control, Ultimate Smoothness, and Maximum Straightness, according to the maker, which also describes a same-day style with zero downtime.

      Up to 3 monthsas stated by Keratin Complex

    • KCEXPRESS

      The quick option

      The maker's express option: about an hour as a service of its own, or 15 minutes on top of a color service, with shampooing allowed just hours later.

      Up to 6 weeksas stated by Keratin Complex

    Longer-wear options such as NKST are part of the range too. Vanessa recommends the one that fits after seeing your hair.

    • Control Service

      For unruly hair

Your finish

Soft wave, smooth, or sleek and straight?

It helps to have an answer in mind before your appointment. The treatments listed under each finish come from the brands' ranges, matched using the makers' own descriptions, and Vanessa recommends the right one when she sees your hair.

  1. Frizz control

    Aims to keep the wave and ease the fuzz

    For hair whose shape you already like, right up until humidity frizzes it. The aim is to keep your movement while the halo of flyaways settles.

    From the brands' ranges

    • Kerasilk Refinement Service
    • Keratin Complex PBO, Frizz Control finish
    • KCEXPRESS, which the maker suggests for bangs and problem areas
  2. Smooth

    Softer and sleeker, often quicker to dry

    For dense, coarse, or unruly hair that makes every blowout a project. Waves tend to loosen, and drying smooth usually takes less effort.

    From the brands' ranges

    • Kerasilk Control Service
    • Keratin Complex PBO, Ultimate Smoothness finish
    • NKST, the Keratin Complex signature treatment
  3. Straighter

    As sleek as it gets

    For the woman who wants her hair as straight and smooth as it can go. Vanessa tells you what your texture can realistically reach when she sees your hair.

    From the brands' ranges

    • Keratin Complex PBO, Maximum Straightness finish
    • KCMAX, described by Keratin Complex as its strongest smoother

Still undecided? That is fine. Vanessa will help you choose once she can see your hair.

Staying power

How many weeks or months each treatment is rated for

Next comes the question of how long you would like the smoothness to stay. Each brand publishes an "up to" figure for its own treatments, shown here.

How long each smoothing treatment lasts according to its maker, in months
TreatmentStated by the maker
KCEXPRESSKeratin ComplexUp to 6 weeks
PBOKeratin ComplexUp to 3 months
KCMAXKeratin ComplexUp to 3 months
NKST and NKSTBKeratin ComplexUp to 5 months
Kerasilk Keratin TreatmentKerasilkUp to 5 months
These numbers come from Keratin Complex and Kerasilk; the salon does not guarantee them. Your wash routine, time in the water, and hair type all affect the result. The Keratin Complex page lists every treatment.

Factor in your schedule and your color

  • New to smoothing?

    Starting with a shorter-wear treatment can show you how your hair responds before you commit to several months.

  • Planning color as well?

    Keratin Complex says KCEXPRESS adds 15 minutes to a color service, and Vanessa recommends whether it suits you. With longer-wear treatments, she decides whether color or smoothing goes first.

  • Wearing blonde, gray, or silver?

    NKSTB, according to Keratin Complex, will not compromise blonde, grey, or silver tones. If your hair was lightened recently, say so as you book.

Booking and the visit

What happens after you call

Keratin Complex and Kerasilk follow different steps, and Vanessa explains the plan for yours before she begins. Here is how the visit usually unfolds.

  1. 01

    Call the salon

    Ask to book smoothing with Vanessa. Mentioning that Brazilian blowout was your search, plus any recent color, helps reception find the right appointment.

  2. 02

    At your appointment

    Vanessa checks your texture and the state of your ends, suggests the Keratin Complex or Kerasilk treatment that suits you, and gives you the price before any work begins.

  3. 03

    Your treatment

    Steps differ by brand and by treatment, and Vanessa walks you through yours at the appointment.

  4. 04

    Before you leave

    Vanessa explains when you can wash and style, and the aftercare for your specific treatment.

Call to book smoothing386-872-2263

Saying you looked up a Brazilian blowout is a fine way to start the call. Reception will find the right appointment.

After your appointment

Helping smoothing last in a beach town

Broad advice for keratin smoothing. The rules for the first few days vary by treatment, and Vanessa goes over yours before you head home.

  • Day one and two

    Each treatment has its own rules. Per Keratin Complex, KCMAX hair can be pulled back right away, while KCEXPRESS hair can be shampooed just hours after. Ask Vanessa about the rules for your treatment.

  • Mild shampoo

    Sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner are the standard recommendation. Vanessa recommends home care at your appointment.

  • Swim days

    Soak your hair with fresh water before the ocean or the pool, and rinse again right after. Salt and chlorine both dry the hair.

  • Gentler heat

    Smoothed hair often takes a style faster, so a lower tool setting can be enough. A heat protectant helps every time.

  • Booking the next one

    Results ease off slowly with washing. When you see frizz returning, call the salon to plan your next treatment.

Is keratin smoothing the same as a Brazilian Blowout?

No. The name belongs to a smoothing product made by a different company. Smoothing with Vanessa uses Keratin Complex and Kerasilk, brands that say their treatments ease frizz and make hair more manageable.

Can I book the Brazilian Blowout brand with Vanessa?

No. The Brazilian Blowout brand is not carried or used at the salon. All smoothing there is done with Keratin Complex or Kerasilk.

Which of Vanessa's treatments fits what I had in mind?

Begin with the result. Is it soft waves minus the frizz, a smooth finish, or the straightest look your texture allows? And should it last weeks or months? With those answers, Vanessa narrows it to one Keratin Complex or Kerasilk treatment before she begins.

How many months does keratin smoothing last?

Kerasilk rates its treatment for up to 5 months. Keratin Complex figures start at up to 6 weeks (KCEXPRESS) and reach up to 5 months (NKST). Your washing habits, time in the water, and hair type all affect how long yours lasts.

What does smoothing cost in Ormond Beach?

Each quote is built around your hair: how long and how thick it is, plus the treatment chosen for it. Call 386-872-2263 to book. Vanessa gives you the price once she has seen your hair, before any work begins.

Will my hair end up straight?

That comes down to the treatment and your natural texture. Some options quiet frizz while keeping your wave; others aim for a sleeker, straighter result. Vanessa tells you what to expect before she starts.

Can smoothing be done in the same visit as color?

Keratin Complex says KCEXPRESS adds 15 minutes to a color service, and Vanessa recommends whether it suits your hair. With the longer-wear options, she plans the order of color and smoothing so both turn out well.

Where is the salon in Ormond Beach?

Hair Goddess Salon, Spa & Boutique is at 236 Riverbeach Dr. in Ormond Beach, serving Ormond Beach, Ormond-by-the-Sea, and Holly Hill.
