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?

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.

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!!!!!  :) :)

Remember back in January when Michael's Salon announced we were giving away a free Keratin treatment? For those with curly, frizzy, or hard to manage hair, a Keratin smoothing treatment can cut styling time in half! We asked our blog readers to send us a photo and a paragraph about why they would like a free Keratin treatment.

Jessica Burton of Centerville was selected, and here's her before and after photos from today's Keratin makeover:



Jessica is a stay at home mother to her son with special needs. Taking care of a child with autism and ADHD is a full time job; the only break she gets is when he goes to preschool for a couple hours in the morning. Jessica is very involved with her church, playing piano and volunteering several days a week.

"Between taking care of the house, my son, and doing things for church it leaves me with almost no time to try and tame my unruly hair," Burton said in her entry. It took almost an hour to apply product, blowdry then straighten her locks. "If I don't blow it dry and take the time to fix it, then it's just a frizzy wavy mess. I love wearing my hair down - and my husband loves it too - but with not having any time to fix it, it usually ends up in a ponytail."

Hopefully your ponytail days are over, Jessica! Today, Abby gave Jessica a Keratin smoothing treatment - and she loves the results. "It doesn't feel like my hair anymore, it's so smooth and soft!" After a Jane Iredale makeup application with Jill, Jessica was thrilled with her morning at Michael's. "I've never really had a makeover before. Jill and Abby were both so friendly and nice, they really made me comfortable throughout the whole process."



Jessica was very appreciative of today's makeover: "I'm so glad that I found Michael's Salon! I started coming here after a horrible experience at a discount haircut place. Caribeth fixed my cut and I've been a client ever since!" We're glad that you found us too! We're confident your Keratin treatment will cut down your styling time so you can spend more time with your husband and son - or pampering yourself!

We'll check in with Jessica in a few weeks to see how big a difference the Keratin treatment made on her daily beauty routine. If you want more information about the Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy, www.keratincomplex.com or ask your designer here at Michael's Salon.

Have you ever wished that your hair was more manageable? Softer? Smoother? Shinier? Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy by COPPOLA is the answer - and it's available in Dayton, Ohio at Michael's Salon & Spa.



The above picture is of Michael's designer Brooke, who was frustrated with her frizzy, hard to manage hair. Here's what she had to say after receiving the Keratin Smoothing Treatment:
"I will get this done for the rest of my life! I love how smooth it makes my hair, and it takes me less than half the time to style my hair. I barely flat iron at all now - just to shape the ends."

This revolutionary smoothing system infuses Keratin deep into the hair cuticle, eliminating up to 95% of frizz and curl, leaving hair smooth, shiny and luxurious.
