What to Expect from a Cezanne Smoothing Treatment
What is Cezanne Smoothing?
Cezanne smoothing is a professional hair treatment that uses a keratin-based, formaldehyde-free formula to smooth and strengthen your hair. Unlike traditional chemical straightening, Cezanne works by infusing keratin and nourishing ingredients deep into the hair shaft, leaving your strands frizz-free, shiny, and more manageable. It doesn’t permanently change your natural texture but instead softens and refines it, giving you silky results without the harsh chemicals.
How Long Does It Last?
One of the best parts about Cezanne smoothing is its longevity. Results typically last up to five months, depending on your hair type, lifestyle, and aftercare routine. As the treatment gradually fades, your natural texture will return seamlessly without any harsh regrowth lines, so there’s no awkward transition period.
Who is it Best For?
Cezanne is perfect for those who struggle with:
Frizz caused by humidity (a common issue in Auckland’s climate)
Wavy or curly hair that feels unmanageable
Coarse or unruly strands that are difficult to style
Clients who want smoother hair without harsh chemicals
It’s a versatile treatment that works across most hair types, making it a great option for anyone looking for a polished, low-maintenance finish.
The Treatment Process
Here’s what you can expect during your Cezanne experience at Hiem Hair:
Consultation – Your stylist will assess your hair type, goals, and condition to make sure Cezanne is the right fit.
Cleansing – Your hair is clarified to remove product build-up and open the cuticle.
Application – The Cezanne solution is carefully applied to each section of hair.
Processing – The formula is left to penetrate deeply into the strands.
Blow Dry & Flat Iron – Heat is used to lock in the smoothing ingredients and seal the hair cuticle.
Final Style – You’ll leave the salon with beautifully smooth, shiny, and frizz-free hair.
Aftercare Tips
To extend the life of your treatment, follow these simple steps:
Use sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners designed for treated hair.
Wait 48 hours before washing your hair after treatment.
Avoid harsh chemicals or over-styling tools that can strip the keratin.
Moisturise and protect your hair with heat protectants when styling.
Enjoy the freedom to style as you like — curl it, straighten it, or leave it natural. Your hair will stay smoother and easier to manage.
