How Much Does a Keratin Treatment Cost in Canada? (2026 Price Guide)
This guide uses full keratin smoothing as its national benchmark. Some salons list express services separately, so compare quotes for the same service format.

Brazilian Blowout is a specific branded smoothing system. Other full keratin smoothing appointments may use different product names.

What can affect a keratin treatment quote?
Service type. Full smoothing is the benchmark in this guide. Express keratin is a separate menu service and is priced differently.
Hair length and density. The research notes an extra product charge when hair extends beyond mid-back or has exceptional density. One extra solution bowl was listed at +$50, within the documented $40 to $60 surcharge range.
Product system and service level. Menus can use different product names and may vary rates by stylist level. Ask which service and level the quoted price covers.
What a full keratin smoothing appointment may include
Advertised full-service menus may include:
- Clarifying shampoo and section-by-section product application
- Processing and rinse
- Blow-dry and flat-iron sealing
Extra product, aftercare products, and stylist-level charges may be listed separately. Confirm whether the advertised rate is before tax and ask the salon about its gratuity policy.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the quote for full keratin smoothing or an express service?
- Will hair length or density change the product charge?
- Which product system and stylist level does the quoted price cover?
- Are aftercare products or other add-ons charged separately?
