Clean smoothing

There is a certain kind of client who wants sleek, effortless hair — and nothing harsh anywhere near it. Who reads the label. Who wants lasting smoothness from a treatment that leaves the hair healthier than it found it. Our Amino Acid Treatment — built on Symbô Beauty Brazil's Luster line, the Vitality Smooth and CC Cream system — was made for exactly that person.

The science, in one line

A Brazilian amino-acid and protein smoothing system softens and realigns the hair fibre and seals it with heat — controlling frizz and volume while keeping your natural movement — with no formaldehyde.

WHAT IT ISBrazilian amino-acid smoothing, the gentle way

This is a professional Brazilian smoothing treatment that works with your hair rather than forcing it straight. Symbô Beauty Brazil's Luster system — Vitality Smooth, a Brazilian-protein treatment, and the CC Cream, an amino-acid smoothing treatment — softens and realigns each strand, then seals it with a titanium flat-iron. The result is controlled volume and frizz, with your natural movement kept intact.

What makes it feel indulgent is the ingredient list: a blend of Brazilian oils and butters — rosehip, buriti, pracaxi and grape-seed oils, cupuaçu and shea butter — with niacinamide, panthenol and vitamin E to nourish, strengthen and add shine. The hair is left soft, radiant and manageable from the very first use — and the formula is formaldehyde-free, clean smoothing without harsh chemistry.

THE DETAILLong-lasting smoothness, deeply restored hair

This is the longest-lasting smoothing we offer — and the gentlest. Because it softens and realigns rather than chemically breaking the hair, it suits clients who want sleek, low-effort hair without compromising on health, and it wears off gradually and gracefully rather than in a hard line. It's the reason it sits at the top of our menu: the premium, health-led route to smooth hair.

Amino acid smoothing questions

What is an amino acid hair treatment?

A Brazilian smoothing treatment that uses amino acids to reduce frizz and make hair easier to style, while keeping its natural texture and movement.

Is amino acid smoothing better than keratin?

Neither is better; they solve different needs. Amino acid is the gentlest and longest-lasting option on our menu and keeps natural movement. Keratin gives a sleeker finish.

Is it safe for coloured hair?

Yes. It is our most-recommended smoothing option for clients who colour regularly.

How long does the appointment take?

About two hours, including the blow-dry finish.
