A keratin treatment's duration depends on the formula, your hair and aftercare. Ask the artist for a product-specific estimate. At Artistly in Winnipeg, the Keratin / Protein Treatment starts at $200 and has a 2-hour-30-minute booking slot.
The short answer: ask about the specific treatment
There is no single duration that applies to every service called keratin or protein treatment. The formula, your starting hair condition, the service performed and your aftercare all matter. Ask your artist for the expected range for the product they will use, rather than treating a general number online as a guarantee.
Artistly's Keratin / Protein Treatment is listed from $200 with a 2-hour-30-minute appointment and is bookable with Zahara. The final price and suitability should be discussed before treatment.
What to tell your artist before treatment
Describe what you want to change: frizz, styling time, softness or the look of your natural texture. Bring a photograph if that makes your goal easier to explain. A smoother finish and a permanently different curl pattern are different goals, so be clear about the result you expect.
Mention recent colour, bleach, perms, smoothing or other treatments, and any breakage you have noticed. Give the dates and product names when available. Your artist can assess whether the proposed service suits your hair before choosing a formula or heat settings.
Explain your usual wash and styling routine, swimming plans and the products you use. Ask which parts of that routine should change for the specific treatment.

Get an aftercare plan before you leave
- Ask when you can first wash, tie or style your hair after this specific treatment.
- Confirm which shampoo, conditioner and styling products are suitable.
- Ask what heat settings and styling routine the artist recommends.
- Discuss swimming or other activities that may affect aftercare.
- Ask when to reassess the result before booking another treatment.
Follow the product-specific instructions your artist provides. Generic advice about a fixed wash delay or a particular shampoo category may not fit every formula.
Planning colour and keratin together
Tell the salon if you are also planning colour, highlights or balayage. The order and spacing depend on the products and your hair history; ask your artist to plan both appointments before booking them independently.
If the colour plan is still undecided, Artistly offers a free 15-minute colour consultation. For a treatment-only question, call the salon first to confirm the right consultation or booking option. See the colour price guide to compare the colour services.

Common questions
How long will my keratin treatment last?
Ask your artist for the expected duration of the specific formula on your hair. A generic month range is not a guarantee, and the result should be reassessed before deciding when to repeat the service.
Will it make my hair completely straight?
Explain the result you want before booking. Ask how the proposed treatment will affect your texture and whether it matches that goal; do not assume every keratin or protein service produces the same finish.
Is it suitable for bleached or damaged hair?
That requires an assessment of your hair and the product to be used. Tell the artist your recent treatment history and any breakage. A service name alone is not enough to establish suitability.
How soon can I wash my hair afterwards?
Follow the first-wash instructions for the treatment used on the day. Confirm them with your artist before leaving rather than using a waiting period from a general online guide.
