Tired of dealing with frizz, puffiness, or unmanageable hair? At Bery & Lorent Studio Salon, we offer professional hair smoothing services in Stone Park, IL that are designed to improve the feel, appearance, and performance of your hair — without compromising its health or structure.

Our smoothing treatments are ideal for all hair types and are tailored to meet your unique texture, concerns, and styling goals. Whether you need a quick refresh or a full transformation, our expert stylists will guide you to the right solution.
What Is a Hair Smoothing Treatment?
A hair smoothing treatment is a salon service designed to reduce frizz, improve shine, and enhance manageability by temporarily restructuring the outer layer of the hair. Unlike keratin treatments, which focus on restoring protein, smoothing treatments primarily work by conditioning and sealing the cuticle for a sleeker finish.

Smoothing does not permanently straighten the hair. Instead, it enhances your hair’s natural texture, reducing the need for daily heat styling and making air-dried styles look polished and soft.
Who Benefits from Hair Smoothing?
Hair smoothing is ideal for:
- Clients with fine to medium texture dealing with light frizz or puffiness
- Color-treated hair that needs moisture and shine
- Naturally wavy or loose curls looking for a more controlled finish
- Anyone who wants a polished look without flattening or straightening their natural texture
Our smoothing services are gentle, non-damaging, and safe for chemically processed or color-treated hair. We’ll always evaluate your hair’s health before recommending the best treatment option.
Types of Smoothing Treatments We Offer
We tailor every treatment to your hair’s needs and goals. The options below are fully customized and include an in-depth consultation.
Moisture-Based Smoothing
Designed to hydrate dry, brittle, or porous hair, this treatment restores flexibility and shine while reducing surface-level frizz. Ideal for dry climates or post-color treatment care.
Gloss & Seal Treatment
A quick-refresh smoothing service that adds shine, softens rough ends, and improves manageability for up to four weeks. Great before special events or between larger treatments.
Anti-Frizz Treatment
Formulated to target and smooth the outer cuticle, this service reduces bulk and swelling caused by humidity without flattening your natural movement.
Smoothing vs. Straightening: Know the Difference
Many clients confuse hair smoothing with chemical straightening, but they are not the same.
Smoothing
- Temporarily reduces frizz
- Maintains natural wave or curl
- Safe for color-treated hair
- Wears off gradually over weeks
Straightening
- Permanently alters curl pattern
- Fully straightens hair
- Often harsh on previously treated hair
- Grows out with roots
At Bery & Lorent, we do not offer chemical relaxers or harsh straighteners. We believe in enhancing and refining your hair’s natural beauty — not forcing it into unnatural textures.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Every smoothing service begins with a one-on-one consultation and includes the following steps:
- Clarifying Wash – Removes buildup and prepares the hair for treatment.
- Application of Treatment – Applied strand by strand to ensure full, even coverage.
- Processing Time – Varies depending on hair type and treatment selection.
- Blow Dry and Finish – Hair is styled and sealed to activate the product and deliver results.
- Aftercare Guidance – We’ll explain how to maintain your look at home and suggest products to support it.
The entire service typically lasts 1.5 to 2 hours depending on hair length and density.
Aftercare & Maintenance Tips
Smoothing results typically last between 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the product used and your maintenance routine. To get the most from your treatment:
- Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner
- Limit heat styling to prevent buildup
- Avoid saltwater and chlorine without protection
- Use a microfiber towel to reduce frizz after washing
- Return for maintenance treatments as needed
Your stylist will provide a custom at-home care plan to ensure the longevity and quality of your results.
