What is Olaplex?



If you know of KIM KARDASHIAN, then you know she is a huge advocate for OLAPLEX. Especially when she went from BRUNETTE to PLATINUM basically overnight- She posted she could have never done it without Olaplex.

Olaplex Hair Treatment is hair TLC on an entire new level. It works on a molecular level to seek out broken bonds in the hair that are caused by chemical, thermal, and mechanical damage. You can use Olaplex to restore compromised hair, or add it to another service to provide the ultimate breakage insurance.


The treatment takes 15-20 minutes in salon as a stand alone treatment, but it can also be used in junction with your hair color service. Step 1 is added to your hair color formula and your ends, then Step 2 is done at the shampoo bowl after your color service. What is left is incredibly feeling, STRONGER, hair.


One comment we receive often from our clients is that after Olaplex, they notice less breakage and less hair around their bathroom sink from random breakage / brushing after blowdrying and styling.


Olaplex is a 3-step treatment. Olaplex step 1 and Step 2 are done as an in-salon treatment. Step 3 is a take home system that can be done as prescribed by your stylist to maintain IMPROVEMENT in your hair quality and texture.

Your hair usually does not become “unmanageable” overnight. What often goes wrong is choosing a smoothing service based on price, trend videos, or quick promises instead of considering hair type, chemistry, and long-term maintenance needs. Many clients searching for a keratin hair treatment in Chicago are not just fighting frizz—they are recovering from flat roots, heavy strands, faded color, or results that disappeared after a few washes. That is where comparing formulas becomes smarter than chasing salon promises. The Real Cost of Smooth Hair Isn’t the Price Tag—It’s How Long It Lasts Before choosing between the two most popular keratin hair treatments , La Brasiliana and Cezanne, most people compare price first. But the smarter comparison is value over time—how long the results last, how your hair feels, and whether your daily styling routine actually becomes easier. In Chicago’s humidity, longevity often matters more than the day-one finish. Quick Comparison Table
