Complete Control

With the humidity DC has experienced this summer, it’s easy to feel like you have no control over your locks. Not anymore!

Bella Bethesda stylist, Demetrios, decided to take matters into his own hands and was recently certified in Liscio, a Japanese straightening treatment. Demetrios now has the skills needed to provide his clients with the ultimate control over their hair and kick that extra volume and frizz to the curb.

To earn this certification, Demetrios jetted off to the Big Apple for a day-long course where he and 40 other stylists learned the ins and outs of the Liscio Japanese Thermal Straightener.

During this course, Demetrios placed extra emphasis on improving how he assesses clients’ hair prior to applying treatment. “This is an invaluable portion of the course and an important step in the straightening service. A full understanding of each client’s hair history is key because if the client has had any previous chemical treatments you may not be able to proceed.” said Demetrios.

The Liscio straightener is great for taming frizz, controlling coils, or achieving pin straight hair. “When done properly, results are pretty amazing,” said Demetrios.

Prior to his certification, Demetrios carefully observed colleagues to master the various techniques as well as learn more about the additional straighteners available at the salon. But, because client satisfaction is the top priority for Demetrios he wanted to take the extra step and become certified to deliver truly top-notch results.

To learn more about fantastic straightening treatments available at Bella Bethesda or book an appointment with Demetrios call (301) 718-9111. Don’t forget! Check out the Bella Bethesda website for ways to save big on straightening services through October 31.

Hope to see you in the salon soon!
