“As a hairdresser and salon owner, I built my reputation and loyal following by giving my clients the hair they had always dreamed of—thanks to keratin treatments,” says CEO and founder Nadine Ramos. "As my clients asked for more solutions, I realized I would have to create my own formulas in order to delight them in every way possible. Lasio Professional Hair Care was born."
The fume-free, 90-minute spray-on treatments require no processing time, so clients can wash their hair the same day. Each formula has a lightweight finish without oxidation. The range includes:
Lasio One Day—The brand’s original formula for all hair types to offer 80 to 90% curl reduction, which lasts up to 4 months.
Lasio Keratin Tropic—The formaldehyde-free keratin treatment for clients desiring to lose the frizz while keeping their body and curl while offering hair repair and quicker styling time. Results last up to 3 months.
