Lasio Salon

Just had 4th visit to get tropic/tropical (?) keratin treatment. I have had Brazilian straightened at 3 other places - whatever I could find on groupon or gilt that had good reviews. My fine but plentiful hair always ended up stick straight plastered to head, an improvement from the frizzy curly high maintenance mess I had before but not ideal.

While complaining one day to my beloved hair stylist she mentioned a client that has similar hair and just got the lasio tropic(al). I finally bit the expensive bullet and went to Lasio.

Definitely the best results, hair is straight with some body, 3 minutes of hair drying when I wash it and my bangs look great not like crazy straw sprouting straight from head.
Minus 1/2 star for price

I just did the Mocha keratin treatment at Lasio NYC and couldn't be happier! My hair is freeze free and looks amazing!! The Staff was very nice and always making sure I was comfortable there.

Nice atmosphere, experienced stylist, pleasant privacy, fabulous result. Ilonka transformed color & did best keratin straightening I have had. 5 stars!

Lasio's staff members are very friendly. Candy did an awesome job with my hair. I felt at home. She took her time to create perfection! Thanks ;)

This place should be shut down and their 1 Day product taken of the market.

I had the Marcia TeixeiraBrazilian Keratin treatments several times, with perfect results but my stylist convinced me to try Lasio with disastrous results.

Lasio studios is not just a salon, but the corporate distribution and corporate office for the Lasio Braziliant treatment. I learned this the hard way after I had the 1 day treatment (over highlights) a few months ago. First, it didn't have the luster and movement, I expected. Then it started to shed. I've had so much breakage and shedding, literally handfuls everyday - it'll be at least a year before my hair returns back to normal, that's if it stops shedding and breaking.

All the PR/Marketing is not true.

1. Formaldehyde level. Although their 3 or 4 day treatment has less than Formaldehyde than others, their 1-day treatment, the one they push the most has one of the highest toxic levels on any keratin treatment, a lot more than the legally allowed .2% Despite what the say, it's a chemical and it's caustic.

2. Although they claim to train and license the salons they sell to, they don't insure any quality control. After my botched treatment, I spoke to the Nadine Ramos, the CEO and she explained, that the salon I went to did it incorrectly and promised, over the phone and in email, that she would help me at least get a refund . But when the salon owner threatened to switch to another brand, Ms. Ramos changed her tune.

No wonder they make you sign a waiver. Using their product is a risk I wouldn't advise anyone to take.
