Silk Tech

Silk Tech operates from a location in North Miami Beach, open Monday through Friday and on Sundays from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, and closed on Saturdays. Appointments are booked online through a Fresha page, and the business can also be reached by phone or email.

The core service is the Silk Tech hair straightening treatment, which the business describes as permanent and lasting until new growth replaces the treated hair. Pricing runs from $300 to $400 and depends on hair length and thickness. A typical session takes about 3 to 4 hours, depending on hair type. The business says the treatment suits straight, wavy, curly and very curly hair, and fine or thick textures, and that it can be applied over earlier keratin or other smoothing treatments. It also says the result holds up against saltwater, chlorine and sweat.

The business says it has worked in professional hair straightening for more than 13 years and that its formula was developed overseas. Its home page shows a 5.0 rating from 61 reviews. A built-in anti-yellow toner is part of the treatment, according to the business, and hair may lighten slightly during the process and return to its normal color after a few washes.

Before the appointment, clients are asked to wash their hair within 24 hours and avoid heavy conditioners or oils. After treatment, they can wash right away with any shampoo or conditioner, but the business advises avoiding heat styling tools for at least 5 days and waiting at least 3 washes before coloring. Published salon policies cover cancellations, rescheduling and safety.

The business describes its formula as organic-based and free of formaldehyde. Its after-care guidance focuses on limiting heat styling and waiting before color.
