This is nothing new for our avid Today Show fans, but in case you missed yesterday's show, Hoda got a Keratin Treatment and talked about the process.

Hoda: I can't wait to go to the beach! Now I don't have to worry, I planned so much of my life around...
Kathy Lee: This could CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Michael's has had many clients schedule Keratin treatments before heading on vacation to humid destinations - the Keratin smooths the hair's cuticle to take away frizz and leave hair soft, shiny and manageable. You can still wear your hair curly after a Keratin treatment, but it will be frizz-free. This is why the treatment is called a smoothing treatment, it is more than a traditional straightening treatment.

Have you had a keratin treatment? Were you as impressed as Hoda was?

Michael's Salon and Spa, Dayton - Over 40 Makeover: Andrea

Andrea has been Lisa's client for almost three years. Her husband loved her hair long and blonde. "It took a contest like this to give me the courage to make a drastic change." Lisa went to work, first giving Andrea a keratin treatment to make Andrea's hair smooth and manageable. Andrea was excited to wear her hair straight for a change. After the treatment, Andrea "loves the shine and condition. I can style my hair so much faster, and it doesn't feel like it's chemically processed - it feels like real hair!"

A few days later, Andrea's hair was ready to be colored and styled. "I always use three to four colors for clients. Multi-tone color makes hair look healthier, and I really wanted to enhance Andrea's skin tone," Lisa said. For her cut, Lisa chose a chin-length bob. "It's great for her face shape. Andrea has a long face, so a short bob keeps her looking younger. Long hair can be matronly and aging for women in their forties, especially when it's curly."

Lisa started the style with Moroccan Oil to strengthen and condition Andrea's hair, and then followed with Volupt Spray by Sebastian to add body without curl. She used a round brush to blow-dry, and then smoothed the ends with a flat iron.

Andrea is a very sassy, high-spirited person, so to add a little fun to her look, Lisa used multi-color clip-in extensions to add some personality.

If you're wondering what Andrea's husband has to say about her new look, Andrea told Lisa "He LOVES it!" She didn't let him see her until the night after the photo shoot, when they scheduled a special date night. "He didn't recognize me when I first walked up to him" and he agreed that her blonde days are over.

Great results with Keratin treatment - client feedback - Michael's Salon and Spa, Dayton, Ohio

We love it when our clients take the time to offer us feedback! Here is a comment that was submitted yesterday in the 'Share your experience' box on our website:

I promised Laura I would give an update, so here it is. Laura gave me the Keratin treatment on Wednesday. She did an excellent job. I loved my hair walking out of the salon. I had to wait three days to wash it. Saturday was the big test. Would I be able to cut my styling time in half??

I am so excited to say that it only took me about ten minutes to style my hair and walk out the door the way I like it. I was absolutely amazed. On top of that, my hair stayed completely straight without any frizz or curl. I am so excited about this treatment, and will do it again next year, just in time for the humid weather to start. Thank you so much to Laura for doing such an amazing job. You rock!!!!! :) :)
