Say Goodbye to Frizz: The Secret to Sleek, Smooth Hair in Buckhead’s Humidity

Remember when Atlanta’s humidity could undo your hair in five seconds flat? One step outside and—poof!—all that time with your flat iron and smoothing spray, gone in a frizzy flash. If you’ve ever battled the Buckhead air with a prayer and a ponytail, you’re not alone. But don’t worry—those days are behind us, thanks to today’s next-level smoothing treatments!

At our Buckhead hair salon in Atlanta (30342), we’re here to help you ditch the frizz, cut your styling time in half, and fall in love with your hair again—thanks to QiQi and Keratin Complex Express smoothing treatments.


Why Atlanta Clients Love Smoothing Treatments

Here’s how professional smoothing can completely upgrade your routine:

✨ Makes Hair More Manageable

No more morning battles with your brush. Smoothing treatments help detangle, soften, and cut your blow-dry time dramatically—yes, even in our Georgia humidity.

🌦 Fights Frizz in Atlanta’s Heat

Humidity doesn’t stand a chance. These treatments seal the hair cuticle to lock in smoothness and keep flyaways in check, no matter the weather.

💫 Boosts Shine & Vibrancy

Smoother hair reflects light better, creating that covetable, healthy-looking shine—perfect whether your hair is natural or color-treated.

⏳ Long-Lasting Results

Depending on the treatment, results can last anywhere from several weeks to several months, making them a smart investment in your hair (and your time!).


Choose Your Perfect Smoothing Treatment

Not sure which one’s right for you? Here’s a breakdown of our two most-loved smoothing services at Craig McQueen Salon:

🌿 QiQi Smoothing Treatment

QiQi is our go-to for clients who want dramatic frizz reduction, silky shine, and smoother hair that lasts for months—all without formaldehyde.

  • Safe for all hair types (including color-treated and textured hair)
  • Customizable: Keep your waves or go sleeker
  • Long-lasting: Results last up to 6 months
  • Great for hair health: Deeply nourishes dry, damaged strands

Best for: Those wanting a longer-lasting transformation with deep hydration and shine—especially if your hair is dry, coarse, or frizz-prone.

Planning color too? QiQi should always be done before your color service, ideally a few days apart for best results.


⚡ Keratin Complex Express Blowout

Short on time but still want the benefits of smoothing? The Express Blowout is a fast, effective way to fight frizz and add shine—perfect for busy weeks or special occasions.

  • Fast results: Done in under 90 minutes
  • Frizz control and softness: Lasts up to 6 weeks
  • Low maintenance: Great for first-time smoothing clients
  • Color-safe and gentle on most hair types

Best for: Smoothing newbies, event prep, or anyone looking to cut their styling time without a long-term commitment.


Aftercare Tips to Keep That Smooth Look

To help your treatment last and keep your hair looking flawless:

Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner
Preserve the treatment and maintain moisture.

Limit heat styling
QiQi and Keratin Complex reduce the need for it—but always use heat protectant when you do!

Protect against sun and humidity
Leave-in conditioners and UV sprays are your friends in the Georgia heat.

Stay on schedule
QiQi lasts up to 6 months; Keratin Express may need a refresh around 6 weeks.


Color + Smoothing: Can You Combine Them?

Yes—but timing matters! If you’re planning to do both, our recommendation is:

  1. Schedule your QiQi or Express Blowout first
  2. Follow up with color a few days later

This ensures better color absorption, shine, and long-term results. Book a consultation with one of our stylists to build your perfect timeline.
