Conditions to read and accept before each treatment

1. Products
All our products are purchased exclusively from an approved Belgian distributor: Sabelle Cosmetics, which is regularly inspected by the FPS Public Health to guarantee the quality and compliance of the products on Belgian territory. We therefore do not use any products containing harmful or prohibited substances in Belgium or Europe.

2. Duration
The treatment lasts between 4 and 6 hours, depending on the length and thickness of the hair.
The treatment is long because it involves many steps and very fine sections.

3. Result
Our new-generation straightening treatments are permanent treatments that straighten the hair between 70% and 100%, depending on the hair type and the number of treatments performed.
The result is permanent, and its duration depends on root regrowth as well as personal perception. Therefore, it is estimated to last between 3 and 8 months, depending on each person’s hair growth speed.
The result of a straightening treatment may be less optimal on hair colored with henna (except henna without metallic salts), during certain hormonal periods, or due to the use of certain medications.

4. Treatment
The treatment is performed by a man who is passionate about straightening treatments and also does them on himself. Therefore, he has a deeper understanding of the services he offers.
The treatment is carried out at home.
For clients from Switzerland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, or those working at the European Commission: we can also travel to hotels, provided that you inform the hotel staff in advance.

5. Warning
If your hair is in a very, very, very poor condition (for example, elastic hair), it is necessary to perform an SOS treatment yourself beforehand; otherwise, the hair may break when using the flat iron.
In case of scalp issues (injury, irritation, implants, abnormally heavy hair loss, etc.), you must first consult a doctor.
All straightening treatments can impact hair color.
The brand of our products authorizes the service for minors from the age of 14, and parents must contact us.
The brand of our products authorizes the service for pregnant or breastfeeding women, but a doctor’s approval is mandatory, with the ingredient list provided upon request.

6. Allergy test:
The allergy test is not mandatory but recommended, as the manufacturer does not require it (European cosmetic regulation EC No. 1223/2009). If you wish to do it, you must explicitly request it several days before your appointment. However, if you choose not to do it, if you claim to have done it when you have not, or if you did not perform it correctly following our instructions and you experience an allergic reaction during the treatment, this will be entirely your responsibility.

7. Invoicing for professionals:
Professionals requesting an invoice must provide the company name and VAT number before booking the appointment. No changes can be made afterward.

8. Refund:
No refund will be granted once the treatment has been performed. In case of non-compliance with instructions and recommendations, the service provider cannot be held responsible.

9. Types of straightening:

Brazilian straightening (with formaldehyde)
Also called “keratin” by English speakers, it is illegal in Belgium. For this reason, we do not perform it.
Its purpose is to straighten the hair temporarily (2 to 3 months) while providing a conditioning effect.
Today, many brands still use the terms “keratin” or “Brazilian straightening”, whereas in reality these are straightening treatments based on acids.

Relaxers / Japanese and Korean straightening
Japanese straightening is a permanent chemical (alkaline) relaxer. Korean straightening works on the same principle, but is generally slightly less aggressive.

They are mainly suitable for:

• virgin hair that is very thick and resistant

The result is permanently straight hair, but if the service is poorly performed, there is a risk of breakage or holes in the hair.
They can give good results when performed by an expert and on a very specific hair type.

Why we do not perform them:

• Too many precautions must be respected.
• They only suit a very specific hair type (thick, difficult hair), and even some people with this hair type hesitate to do it for fear of damaging their hair fiber.
• The high price (between €400 and €600) due to work on very fine sections, with few clients willing to invest such a budget.
• Some people do not like the very flat result and the loss of volume.

Acid-based straightening (tannin, Indian, proteins, collagen, etc.)
These are the straightenings we perform, as they are the least chemically aggressive.
Depending on the hair type and the number of treatments, it is possible to achieve a very straight result, close to the Japanese effect, but in a progressive and fiber-respectful way.

The result is long-lasting (between 4 months and 1 year), depending on regrowth and individual perception.

Getting closer to a 100% straight result means:

• at the beginning: 1 to 3 treatments
• after that: only one treatment is needed each time

Example:
Coily hair → curly after the 1st treatment → wavy after the 2nd → straight after the 3rd.
After that, the hair remains straight with each new treatment.

Botox straightening
This is primarily a repairing and hydrating treatment, thanks to reconstructing ingredients.
The straightening effect comes from a low concentration of straightening agents, much lower than in acid-based straightening.

Summary
There is currently no product that truly straightens hair:
without acid (tannin, Indian, proteins, collagen, botox straightening, etc.)
without formaldehyde (illegal)
without alkaline agents (relaxers)

What we recommend

• Continue with the treatment that satisfies you. If you get good results with a relaxer (Japanese or Korean) without issues, it makes sense to continue.
• For fragile or chemically treated hair (bleaching, highlights), we recommend at most a botox straightening.
• Straightening is a lifestyle: regular treatments and an adapted routine are essential.
• If a straightening did not give the desired result the first time, it often means the hair is very resistant and needs to be done progressively.
