Book a silk press for a sleek glossy blown out look. A silk press is a blow out with a flat iron, which gives your hair an ultra silky smooth finish. Heat protectant is applied to help prevent against damage. If you just want a blow out (and no flat iron), you can book a Classic Blowout.

What’s a silk press?

A silk press is a modern take on the traditional press and curl. It uses a combination of professional-grade tools and techniques—including blow-drying and flat ironing—to stretch and straighten natural hair without heat damage. The result? Soft, shiny, bouncy hair that moves. See some inspo here.

What’s included in this service

  • Blow out
  • Flat iron and styling

What you can add on to you silk press

  • Detangle — $25
  • Trim your ends$10
  • Styling: Add curls or waves$15

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Will this damage my natural curls?

    Not when done properly. We use heat protectant and natural hair–friendly techniques to minimize damage. Here’s more on how you can safely silk press your hair.

    How long does a silk press last?

    Usually 1–2 weeks, depending on texture, activity, and humidity. We recommend wrapping at night and avoiding water/steam.

    How do I care for the style?

    Wrapping your hair at night with a silk bonnet is key! Doing so helps keep your hair stretched, moisturized and smooth. If your hair is long, using a net will help. Read more on care here.

      Nicole did a great job. My sister’s hair was very tangled and she cut it so it easier to work with.

      This is my second time using this amazing service ! I have a newborn and it is a life saver. Latanya is awesome! Super friendly and attentive.

      It would be great if clients could purchase hair through your website…

      Keep up the great work!

      Tina was great! Although I do believe I said I was tender headed in the comments, Tina was very heavy handed which doesn’t 100% pair well with someone who is tender headed ???? other than that it was a great experience and i will use Yeluchi again. ????

      I would have loved if Latanya had brought more products with her. I would definitely use her and the Yeluchi again. She also made some really helpful product suggestions and hair care suggestions.
      I also think it would be nice to have a slightly more extensive menu (I imagine that this is probably in the works). For example, do stylist do non-extension braids for kids/teenagers?

      I am blown away with this service. To not have to worry about a stylist not knowing how to do my hair or being intimidated by my hair’s thickness and length is amazing. I am so glad my friend recommended it to me. Latanya was absolutely fabulous, careful, kind, and speedy. I will definitely be using this service over and over again.

      Latanya was really great. She was running ahead of schedule and ended up coming early, which was great for my schedule. She did a great job with my hair and gave me some advice on how to reduce buildup going forward.

      Latanya was one of the best hair experiences I’ve had in quite some time. She was punctual, knowledgeable, and made sure to explain the state of my hair and things we could do moving forward to get me back on track. I’ve only been natural for 3 years and I’m still learning. It’s hard because I know NOTHING about hair. Latanya was patient and answered all my questions. I can’t wait for my next appointment. I’m sure with her guidance my hair will flourish.

      Latanya was great, she made an at home hair styling experience easy. I hope to use her again in the future and also fear out some twist or braids as well. She wanted to ensure I was happy with the outcome and styled my hair well. Thank you so much !! It’s been a few months, yet I really wanted to share my positive experience .
