Keratin Treatment Boston is one of the most-searched services at Noelle Salon, and the question we hear most isn't whether it works — it's what it actually costs. The price depends on what you pair it with, so here's the full breakdown before you book.
How Much Does a Keratin Treatment Cost in Boston?
Pricing at Noelle Salon depends on whether you want the treatment on its own or bundled with a cut or color:
- Keratin Treatment alone — starts at $150
- Keratin Treatment + Haircut — starts at $200 (2–3 hours, results last up to 12 weeks)
- Keratin Treatment + Hair Color — starts at $250 (2–3 hours, results last 3–4 months)
Final pricing varies with hair length, thickness, and how much product your hair needs. If you're combining color with your treatment, keep in mind the keratin can slightly lighten your color — your stylist will typically deepen the shade beforehand to compensate.
What's Included
Every keratin treatment starts with a cleansing shampoo, then the smoothing solution is applied and heat-sealed with a flat iron. It's formulated without formaldehyde. For the full rundown of your options — including our Keratin Complex, Cezanne, and Express Blowout services — see our Keratin Treatment Boston page.
Considering a Formaldehyde-Free Alternative?
If you want a longer-lasting, formaldehyde-free option instead, ask about our Yuko Anti-Frizz System. Where a keratin treatment smooths hair and reduces frizz for a few months, Yuko reshapes the hair for longer-lasting straightness (typically 6–12 months) — both are formaldehyde-free. Here's a quick look at how it compares:
