Frizzy, unmanageable hair doesn’t mean you have to compromise your hair’s health. The Yuko Anti-Frizz Treatment is a formaldehyde-free smoothing treatment designed to reduce frizz, add shine, and improve manageability—without the harsh chemicals commonly found in traditional keratin treatments.

At our Boston hair salon, we offer the Yuko Anti-Frizz Treatment as a safer, healthier replacement for keratin, ideal for clients who want silky, smooth hair while preserving moisture, strength, and natural movement.

The service prices varies based on density and length of your hair starting at $150


What Is the Yuko Anti-Frizz Treatment?

The Yuko Anti-Frizz Treatment is a professional smoothing service that works within the hair structure to control frizz, soften texture, and improve overall hair condition. Unlike keratin treatments that coat the hair shaft, Yuko Anti-Frizz smooths the hair without sealing or suffocating it, allowing hair to remain flexible, shiny, and healthy.

This treatment is ideal for:

  • Frizzy or humidity-prone hair

  • Wavy or curly hair that needs smoothing (not permanent straightening)

  • Color-treated or chemically processed hair

  • Clients seeking a formaldehyde-free keratin alternative

Why Choose a Formaldehyde-Free Anti-Frizz Treatment?

Formaldehyde exposure is a growing concern in the beauty industry. Choosing a formaldehyde-free anti-frizz treatment protects not only your hair, but also your scalp, health, and overall hair integrity.

The Yuko Anti-Frizz Treatment allows you to enjoy smooth, frizz-free hair without sacrificing safety or long-term results, making it one of the best keratin alternatives available today.

Who Is the Yuko Anti-Frizz Treatment Best For?

This treatment is perfect for:

  • Frizzy or coarse hair

  • Curly or wavy textures seeking smoother definition

  • Color-treated or highlighted hair

  • Clients with sensitive scalps

  • Those avoiding keratin or formaldehyde treatments


Is Yuko Anti-Frizz Safe for Color-Treated Hair & Extensions?

Yes. The Yuko Anti-Frizz Treatment is color-safe and gentle enough for chemically processed hair. It will not strip, fade, or alter your hair color.

It is also extension-friendly, making it a great option for clients with:

  • Hair extensions

  • Wigs or hair systems

(Your stylist will always assess your hair before treatment to ensure optimal results.)


Yuko Japanese Straightening and Yuko Anti-Frizz

Yuko Japanese Straightening is a permanent straightening treatment that restructures the hair internally to transform curly, wavy, or frizzy hair into sleek, pin-straight strands that stay straight until new growth appears. It dramatically reduces volume and changes the hair’s natural texture. In contrast, Yuko Anti-Frizz is a smoothing treatment designed to control frizz, reduce puffiness, and enhance manageability while preserving your hair’s natural wave or curl pattern. Anti-Frizz does not permanently straighten the hair—it simply makes it softer, shinier, and easier to style for several months. Choosing between the two depends on whether your goal is permanently straight hair or smoother, more polished hair with movement.

How Long Does the Yuko Anti-Frizz Treatment Last?

Results typically last 3 to 5 months, depending on hair type, lifestyle, and home care routine. As the treatment fades, hair returns gradually to its natural texture—without harsh grow-out lines or damage.

Using sulfate-free shampoos and professional aftercare products will help extend your results.
