Brazilian Blowout · Keratin · Smoothing

Brazilian Blowout & Keratin Smoothing in Naples — designed for Florida humidity, not against your texture.

Smoothing is the answer to two questions at once. How do I stop fighting Florida humidity? And how do I keep movement in my hair while doing it? Our smoothing services do both — customized to your texture, color-safe, and built to last eight to twelve weeks.

The Experience

Smoothing is its own category — and a different category from our luxury add-on treatments. Brazilian Blowout, keratin, and bond-building smoothing are full chemistry services that change how your hair behaves for two to three months. We schedule them generously and price them transparently — Brazilian Blowout starts at $396 — so you can book directly online or by phone with no surprises.

Most of our smoothing guests do not want pin-straight hair. They want frizz-free movement, glassy shine, easier mornings, and a finish that survives the pool and the beach. That is exactly what your stylist designs for — unless you specifically want straighter, in which case the application is customized accordingly. The conversation about which finish you want happens at the start of your appointment, before any chemistry begins.

Every appointment includes our Signature head, neck, and shoulder massage and a hot-towel finish. The results begin from the first wash and live for eight to twelve weeks with the right home care. A complimentary consultation is always available if you prefer to plan first — optional, never a prerequisite.

What to Expect

How a smoothing appointment unfolds here.

Smoothing is a directly bookable service. Brazilian Blowout starts at $396, scheduled for two to three hours so the work is never rushed. A complimentary consultation is available if you would prefer to talk through formulation first — optional, never required.

  1. The booking

    Book a smoothing appointment directly online or by phone — Brazilian Blowout, keratin, or bond-building smoothing — at the salon nearest you. If you would rather plan the chemistry in advance, a complimentary consultation is always available; it is not a prerequisite for booking the service itself.

  2. The chair-side conversation

    Most smoothing guests do not want pin-straight hair — they want frizz-free movement, easier mornings, and shine. Your stylist asks where you actually fall on that scale, and the application is customized accordingly. If you want straighter, the chemistry adjusts. If you want movement preserved, it adjusts in the other direction. This happens at the start of your appointment, before any product is mixed.

  3. The Signature welcome

    Shampoo, conditioning, head, neck, and shoulder massage, hot-towel finish. The chemistry that follows is two to three hours of careful work — the welcome sets the tone.

  4. The customized chemistry

    Brazilian Blowout, keratin, or a bond-building hybrid, selected to your hair and your goal. Color-safe; many guests pair smoothing with same-day color when the timing fits.

  5. The seal, finish, and home plan

    The chemistry is sealed in, then the hair is finished so you see exactly how it behaves from the first day. Your stylist sends you off with the sulfate-free, sodium-chloride-free home care that keeps the result alive for eight to twelve weeks — we keep the right products in stock so it is never a hunt.

What we do

Our smoothing services.

Brazilian Blowout

Our flagship smoothing service. Reduces frizz, adds glassy shine, and cuts blow-dry time meaningfully — without making your hair pin-straight unless that is specifically what you want. Color-safe and clean to pair with same-day color.

Keratin Treatment

Protein-based smoothing for frizz-prone, fine-to-medium hair. Builds the hair stronger as it smooths, with a slightly different finish than Brazilian Blowout. Your stylist will recommend the right format at consultation.

Bond-Building Smoothing

Lighter-touch smoothing combined with bond repair for guests who have been overprocessed and want both restoration and humidity control in one visit. For bond and conditioning treatments without smoothing chemistry, see our treatments page.

Targeted Frizz Control

Smoothing applied only at the hairline, around the crown, or through specific zones rather than a full-head treatment. Often pairs with same-day color or cut.

Investment

Investment $396.

Prices vary based on stylist level, hair length, density, timing, and service customization. Your stylist will confirm final pricing during consultation.

Who this is for

Guests with frizz, wave, or coarse texture who want easier mornings and shinier hair without giving up movement. Naples and Bonita Springs locals tired of fighting humidity. Seasonal residents preparing for Southwest Florida summers. Brides planning the months around the wedding.

Hair Concerns We Address
  • Frizz that resists humidity from the first wash to the last week
  • Glassy shine without losing body and movement
  • Easier styling on busy mornings — and on no-styling mornings
  • A finish that wears through pool days, beach days, and air-drying

Maintenance. Most smoothing services last eight to twelve weeks. Sulfate-free and sodium-chloride-free home care is the single biggest factor in longevity — your stylist will recommend a regimen for your hair and habits, and we keep your favorites in stock.

The longer view

Hair health, planning, and honest expectations.

Smoother hair is healthier hair.

Brazilian Blowout, keratin, and bond-building smoothing services seal the cuticle. A sealed cuticle is a smoother cuticle, which means less daily friction, less heat needed to style, less mechanical damage across the weeks ahead. For most guests, smoothing meaningfully improves the day-to-day health of the hair — not just the appearance.

Two to three months at a time.

Most smoothing services last eight to twelve weeks; longer for some guests with the right home regimen. The right cadence — every three months, twice a year, or as needed before specific events — is something your stylist plans with you. Many seasonal Naples and Bonita Springs guests book smoothing twice a year, ahead of summer and ahead of the social season.

For Southwest Florida real life.

Guests with frizz, wave, or coarse texture who want easier mornings and shinier hair without giving up movement. Naples and Bonita Springs locals tired of fighting humidity. Seasonal residents preparing for Southwest Florida summers. Brides planning the months around the wedding so the hair is at its best on the day.

Florida humidity

Smoothing is built for Florida air. The chemistry holds frizz down through summer humidity, beach exposure, and pool days — the kind of weather that defeats most home routines by mid-morning.

Honest expectations

Most guests do not want pin-straight hair. They want frizz-free movement, glassy shine, easier styling, and a finish that survives the pool. That is what the service delivers by default. If you specifically want a more straightened finish, the application is customized accordingly — the conversation about which result you want happens at the start of your appointment, before any chemistry begins.

No pressure

Smoothing is a directly bookable service — choose your time, your stylist, and your salon when you are ready. A complimentary consultation is always available if you would prefer to plan the chemistry first, but it is not a prerequisite. Pricing is confirmed at the chair before any work begins.

The decisions, made simple

Choosing the right smoothing path.

The differences that matter, the questions guests actually ask, and the honest framing of what a single visit can — and cannot — do.

Brazilian Blowout vs keratin

This Brazilian Blowout is our flagship smoothing service — frizz control, glassy shine, faster blow-dry time, with movement preserved unless you ask for straighter.

vs Keratin is protein-based smoothing — slightly different finish, often suited to frizz-prone fine-to-medium hair. The chemistry builds the hair stronger as it smooths.

Your stylist will recommend the right format based on your hair type, your goal, and your prior smoothing history. Both are color-safe and Florida-humidity-built.

Smoothing vs conditioning treatment

This Smoothing services (Brazilian Blowout, keratin) are two-to-three-hour chemistry services that change how your hair behaves for eight to twelve weeks.

vs Conditioning treatments (bond builders, glosses, scalp work) are fifteen-to-thirty-minute add-ons that layer onto any visit for hair-health and shine — they do not change how the hair behaves day-to-day.

If you want Florida humidity defeated for two to three months, smoothing is the answer. If you want hair-health improvement layered into your regular visits, treatments are the answer. Many guests do both, on different cadences.

Grow-out

How smoothing fades

Smoothing does not grow out with a regrowth line. The chemistry softens gradually across eight to twelve weeks — your hair returns toward its natural texture cleanly, not in a sharp boundary. Many guests book the next appointment around the natural fade rather than the calendar.

Seasonal residents

Smoothing for seasonal Naples residents

Many seasonal residents book smoothing on arrival to Southwest Florida and again before they leave for the summer. The chemistry is designed for the humidity you will actually live in — so the months between visits do most of the work that elsewhere requires daily restyling.

No wrong starting point

If you have had a bad smoothing experience elsewhere

If your last smoothing service made your hair too straight, too limp, or too damaged, mention it at booking. Your stylist will adjust the chemistry, the application time, and the home-care recommendation accordingly. The default at Robert of Philadelphia is movement preserved, not movement removed.

Our consultation philosophy

The conversation that begins every visit.

A consultation at Robert of Philadelphia is not a sales meeting. It is the quiet beginning of a relationship — the part of the craft most salons quietly skip, and the part we treat as the work itself.

  1. What the consultation actually is

    A real conversation at the chair before any chemistry, scissors, or commitment. Your stylist reads your hair, asks about how you live with it, and listens to what you actually want — not what the photograph wants. The plan is built from there, not from a template.

  2. How stylist matching works

    If you are new to Robert of Philadelphia, mention what you are coming in for and a stylist whose work fits your hair is matched at booking. You can also ask to be matched by personality or by salon, by location convenience, or by tenure — every chair holds someone whose work we stand behind. The right match is the one that becomes a relationship, not just a single visit.

  3. Hair integrity is the first variable

    If a goal is not safe for the hair you have today, your stylist will say so — and offer a path that gets you there in stages. Integrity comes before timeline. The healthiest version of the result is the one that wears for the months ahead, not just the day of the appointment.

  4. Honest expectations, not hype

    Some goals are a single visit. Some are a sequence across several weeks. Your stylist will tell you which honestly — even when the slower path is harder to schedule. Pricing is confirmed at the chair before any work begins, never after.

  5. Collaborative, not prescriptive

    The consultation is two people deciding together. Bring photographs, bring questions, bring nothing — your stylist will start by listening. If the right answer today is a smaller change than you booked for, we will say so. You will not be talked into chemistry your hair cannot wear.

  6. No pressure to commit

    If after the conversation the timing is not right, the chemistry is not right, or the fit is not right, the consultation costs nothing — including your obligation to book. The relationship matters more than the calendar. We would rather wait until the right visit than push the wrong one.

I have been a client of Jade‘s for over five years. I came to her after my hair completely been ruined elsewhere by another stylist. The color was the worst!! My color was corrected, and my hair was grown into a style that I love. We always have a discussion at every appointment, even though she knows what I like and don’t like, to be sure we’re on the same page. Her cutting skills are perfection as are her color techniques. She is cautious to guide me through decisions, when I sometimes think I want something Different to be sure I understand that it is not a realistic goal for my hair. I honestly appreciate that. She is also just a joy to be around. She is very friendly, personable and genuinely cares about her clients. I always look forward to seeing her and all the girls at the promenade Bonita Bay location. They have become more like family!

FAQ

Good to know.

Can I book smoothing directly, or do I need a consultation first?

Book directly. Brazilian Blowout and keratin smoothing are bookable services — choose your time and your stylist online or by phone. A complimentary consultation is available if you would prefer to talk through formulation, fit, and timing first, but it is optional, not required.

Will smoothing make my hair pin-straight?

No — not unless you ask for it. The default is humidity control and shine with your natural movement intact. If you specifically want a more straightened finish, your stylist will customize the application accordingly. A quick conversation at the start of your appointment confirms exactly which result you want before any chemistry begins.

How is smoothing different from a hair treatment?

Smoothing services (Brazilian Blowout, keratin) are full chemistry services that change how your hair behaves for two to three months — two to three hours at the chair, priced accordingly. Treatments (bond builders, conditioners, glosses) are add-ons that layer onto any visit in fifteen to thirty minutes for hair-health and shine. They are separate categories, and we keep them on separate pages so the scope is always clear.

Can I get smoothing if I color my hair?

Yes — and many guests pair them. Your stylist sequences the services in a single visit or splits them across two, depending on your hair's history and your goal. Brazilian Blowout in particular is color-safe.

How long does it last in Florida humidity?

Eight to twelve weeks for most guests; longer for some. The home care matters more than anything else — sulfate-free and sodium-chloride-free shampoo is the single biggest factor. We will guide you on what to use and what to avoid.

How much does a Brazilian Blowout cost in Naples?

Brazilian Blowout begins at $396. Final pricing depends on stylist level, hair length, density, and customization. Pricing is confirmed at the chair before any work begins.

Where can I get Brazilian Blowout in Naples or Bonita Springs?

Brazilian Blowout is available at all three Robert of Philadelphia salons — Bayfront and Village on Venetian Bay in Naples, and Promenade at Bonita Bay in Bonita Springs. Book directly online, by phone, or with the stylist who already knows your hair.

How is Brazilian Blowout different from a Japanese straightener?

Brazilian Blowout is a gradually-fading smoothing service — frizz control with movement intact, designed to wear off softly across two to three months. Japanese straightening permanently bonds the hair straight and grows out with a hard line. They are entirely different categories of service; we offer Brazilian Blowout and keratin smoothing, not Japanese straightening.

Can I color my hair the same day as a Brazilian Blowout?

Yes — and many guests pair them. Your stylist sequences the color before the smoothing chemistry so the cuticle seal locks in the new tone. Mention both services at booking so the appointment is scheduled with enough time for both to be done unrushed.

How long does the smoothing service take in the chair?

Most smoothing appointments run two and a half to three hours depending on hair length and density. Your stylist schedules generously so the work is never rushed; the chemistry needs time to apply, set, and seal correctly. The Signature head, neck, and shoulder massage and hot-towel finish are part of the appointment.

What home care matters most after smoothing?

Sulfate-free, sodium-chloride-free shampoo and conditioner is the single biggest factor in longevity. Avoid swimming for the first day or two if possible. Your stylist will recommend a specific regimen for your hair and your habits — and we keep the right products in stock at all three salons so it is never a hunt.
