Question 1

What is a keratin treatment?

Accepted Answer

A keratin treatment is a semi-permanent hair smoothing procedure that infuses keratin protein into the hair cuticle. It reduces frizz, adds shine, and makes hair more manageable. Results typically last 3 to 6 months depending on the technique used (Brazilian Blowout, Nanoplastia, or Hair Botox) and your hair type.

Question 2

What is the difference between Nanoplastia and a Brazilian Blowout?

Accepted Answer

Nanoplastia is a formaldehyde-free treatment that uses amino acids and natural ingredients to straighten and smooth hair. Brazilian Blowout uses a liquid keratin formula sealed with a flat iron at high heat. Nanoplastia tends to last longer (up to 5–6 months) and works better on very curly or coarse hair, while Brazilian Blowout is faster to apply and suits wavy to moderately curly hair.

Question 3

What is Hair Botox and how is it different from keratin treatment?

Accepted Answer

Hair Botox is a deep conditioning treatment that fills gaps in damaged hair fibres with proteins, vitamins, and antioxidants. Unlike traditional keratin treatments, Hair Botox does not chemically alter the hair structure or straighten it. It focuses on repair, hydration, and volume reduction. It is ideal for clients who want healthier, shinier hair without changing their natural curl pattern.

Question 4

Do I need a hairdressing qualification to take this course?

Accepted Answer

No prior hairdressing qualification is required. Our course is designed for both beginners and experienced stylists. The HD video lessons cover everything from fundamental theory to advanced application techniques. Having some experience working with hair will help you progress faster, but it is not a requirement.

Question 5

Is the Keratin Pro Mastery certification recognised and insurable in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our professional certification is designed to meet UK industry standards. Upon completion, you receive a certificate that can be used to obtain professional liability insurance, allowing you to offer keratin treatments commercially in a salon or mobile setting.

Question 6

How long does the course take to complete?

Accepted Answer

The course is self-paced and delivered entirely online through HD video lessons. Most students complete the full certification in 1 to 2 weeks, depending on their schedule. You have unlimited access to all course materials, so you can revisit lessons at any time.

Question 7

What are the AI hair diagnostics included in the course?

Accepted Answer

Our AI-powered hair diagnostics tool analyses hair type, porosity, damage level, and condition to recommend the most suitable keratin treatment for each client. This technology helps you make data-driven decisions, reduce treatment errors, and deliver better results.

Question 8

Are keratin treatments safe?

Accepted Answer

When performed correctly with quality products, keratin treatments are safe. The key concern has historically been formaldehyde in some older formulas. Our course teaches you to work with formaldehyde-free products (especially Nanoplastia and Hair Botox) and covers all chemical safety protocols, ventilation requirements, and client allergy testing procedures.

Question 9

How much can I earn offering keratin treatments?

Accepted Answer

In the UK, keratin treatments are typically priced between £100 and £400 per session, depending on hair length and treatment type. With product costs of £15–£30 per treatment, profit margins of 70–90% are common. Many stylists add £2,000–£5,000+ per month to their income by adding keratin services.

Question 10

Can I offer keratin treatments from home or as a mobile stylist?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with the right certification and insurance, you can offer keratin treatments as a mobile service or from a home salon. Our course covers the specific ventilation and safety requirements you need to meet. Many of our graduates start mobile before transitioning to a salon space.
