Frizzy, unmanageable hair that fights you every morning is a texture problem, not a styling problem. No amount of daily blow-drying fixes it — you're treating the symptom each morning instead of the cause. Cezanne treatment works at the hair cortex level, using natural botanical proteins to reduce frizz and add smoothness that lasts 2–4 months. One appointment replaces hundreds of frustrating mornings. Located at Wish Dry Bar in West Vancouver, serving the North Shore and Greater Vancouver area.
Book Your TreatmentKeratin is the protein your hair is naturally made of. Cezanne works by infusing keratin protein into the hair shaft, specifically into the cortex, the inner structure beneath the cuticle. Heat from a flat iron seals it in place, smoothing the cuticle layer so it lies flat instead of lifting and letting moisture in.
That lifted cuticle is what causes frizz. When it's sealed down, moisture from Vancouver's humidity can't penetrate the shaft and cause swelling. Hair stays smooth. Light reflects off it more evenly, which is where the added shine comes from.
One thing Cezanne does not do: it doesn't straighten your hair. If you have natural waves you'll still have waves, just smoother and more defined. Curly hair stays curly. Your natural texture remains. The unruliness goes. That's the distinction worth understanding before you book.
Unlike older Brazilian Blowout formulas, Cezanne is formaldehyde-free. It works with your existing hair structure rather than chemically breaking it down. Safer for clients and stylists both.
Eliminates up to 95% of frizz, even in humid weather, giving you smooth, sleek hair that looks polished all day.
Cuts blow-dry time in half. What used to take 30 minutes now takes 15, making morning routines faster and easier.
Creates incredible mirror-like shine by smoothing the hair cuticle and reflecting more light.
Infuses keratin protein deep into the hair shaft, repairing damage and strengthening from within.
Formaldehyde-free and safe for all hair types including colored, highlighted, and chemically treated hair.
Results last 2-4 months with proper care, providing months of beautiful, manageable hair.
Step 1: Consultation - We assess your hair type, discuss your expectations, and explain what results you can expect. We'll also review aftercare instructions so you know how to maintain your treatment.
Step 2: Deep Cleansing - Your hair is washed with a clarifying shampoo to remove all product buildup, oils, and impurities. This ensures the treatment can penetrate effectively.
Step 3: Application - The Cezanne formula is carefully applied section by section, ensuring even coverage from root to tip. Our stylists take extra care around the hairline and nape for uniform results.
Step 4: Processing - The product sits on your hair for 20-30 minutes, allowing the keratin to penetrate and bond with your hair's structure.
Step 5: Blow Dry & Flat Iron - Your hair is carefully blow-dried, then flat ironed at controlled temperatures to seal in the treatment and activate the smoothing process.
Step 6: Final Styling - We complete your service with finishing touches and provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you maintain your results.
The entire process takes 90-120 minutes depending on your hair's length and thickness. You'll leave the salon with immediately noticeable results. Smoother, shinier, more manageable hair.

Cezanne treatment typically lasts 2-4 months, with results gradually fading as new hair grows in. The exact duration depends on your hair type, how often you wash your hair, and your aftercare routine. Fine hair may see results for 2-3 months, while thicker, coarser hair often maintains smoothness for 3-4 months. With proper maintenance using sulfate-free products and limiting heat styling, many clients enjoy smooth, manageable hair for the full duration.
Yes, you can color your hair 2 weeks after receiving a Cezanne treatment. However, it's actually better to color your hair before the treatment if possible, as the smoothing process can slightly lighten color. If you need both services, we recommend coloring first, waiting a few days, then getting the Cezanne treatment. This sequence provides the best results for both services. Always wait at least 48 hours after treatment before any chemical services.
Yes, Cezanne treatment is safe for all hair types including fine, thick, curly, colored, highlighted, and chemically treated hair. The formaldehyde-free formula is gentler than traditional keratin treatments, making it suitable even for sensitive scalps and previously damaged hair. Our stylists customize the application technique and processing time based on your specific hair type to ensure optimal results without damage.
No, Cezanne treatment is a smoothing treatment, not a straightening treatment. It reduces frizz and makes hair more manageable while maintaining some of your natural texture. Curly hair will become looser waves, and wavy hair will become smoother with reduced frizz. The treatment makes hair easier to style. If you want it straight, you can blow dry it straight with much less effort, or you can enhance your natural wave pattern with minimal frizz.
For the first 48 hours after treatment, avoid washing your hair, getting it wet, tying it up, or using clips and headbands that could create creases. Don't exercise or do anything that causes sweating. Avoid tucking hair behind your ears or creating any bends or creases. After 48 hours, you can return to normal activities, but always use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to extend the treatment's life. Avoid chlorine and salt water when possible.
In West Vancouver and the North Shore, Cezanne treatments typically range from $250 to $450 depending on hair length and thickness. Short hair above the shoulders sits at the lower end. Medium-length hair runs around the middle of that range. Long or very thick hair can reach the top end or beyond due to product volume and processing time. We give you an exact price at consultation before anything starts. Hair length is the biggest factor, but density matters too. Fine thin hair uses considerably less product than thick coarse hair at the same length.
You must wait 48 hours before washing your hair after Cezanne treatment to allow the keratin to fully set. This waiting period is crucial for achieving long-lasting results. After 48 hours, wash with sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, which help preserve the treatment. Limit washing to 2-3 times per week if possible. The less you wash, the longer your treatment will last.
No, Cezanne treatment does not damage hair when applied correctly by a trained professional. In fact, it can actually improve hair health by infusing keratin protein, sealing the cuticle, and protecting against environmental damage. The formaldehyde-free formula is much gentler than older keratin treatments. Many clients notice their hair feels stronger and healthier after treatment because it repairs existing damage and creates a protective barrier against future damage.
