How microcrystals smooth hair
DiamondLiss™ Microcrystal Straightening uses microcrystal technology to alter the hair's surface, smoothing strands so styling lies flatter and reflects light. At Studio Chique we emphasize how individual texture, prior chemical history, and hair porosity influence outcomes rather than promising a single fixed result for every client.
The treatment is applied and monitored by our stylists to create consistent smoothing across the hair shaft; exact application details and timing are tailored during your consult. Environmental factors common to Washington, such as humid summers, plus product choices at home, will influence how the hair looks day to day.
Consultation and assessment process
Every appointment begins with an assessment of hair history, current condition, and styling goals so the team can discuss realistic outcomes and alternatives. Because many clients commute from Brookland, Brentwood, or College Park, we offer flexible early-morning and evening bookings to fit work and family schedules.
Cost conversations are part of the consult; pricing is listed as Starting at $450 and may include add-ons or follow-up styling when necessary. We recommend bringing a list of prior chemical treatments and a current product list so we can plan safely and set expectations before any service begins.
Styling, finish, and maintenance
Clients typically notice a glossy finish and hair that lies straighter with less daily effort; the system is intended to deliver salon-quality styling results rather than permanently remove all natural texture. How consistently that appearance holds depends on home care, local humidity levels, and exposure to chemical or physical stressors.
We provide a personalized aftercare plan during your visit and can recommend follow-up appointments when needed. For Langdon and nearby commuters using Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood Metro or visiting Union Market, plan travel time for longer services and consider weekend self-care packages around visits to the U.S. National Arboretum.
