What is a silk press?

A silk press straightens natural hair without chemicals. The hair is washed, conditioned and blow-dried, then flat-ironed in small sections to a smooth, glossy finish with movement. Because there is no relaxer, the hair can return to its natural texture after washing, which is the main reason clients choose a silk press over a chemical straightening service.

For context, silk press prices on the published salon menus in our network typically fall between $85 and $140 across the US (47 salons). That is a national figure, not a Washington average.

Studio Chique's silk press menu

The menu has one entry-level silk press and three variations:

The Blowout & Style (from $125, 30 min) is a blow-dry service rather than a full press, for clients who want smoothness without flat-ironing every section.

Which option to book

For a first silk press, The Signature Silk Press is the baseline service. Because it is listed as a starting price, ask what affects the final figure for your hair, such as length and density.

If your hair has been heat-styled or colour-treated often, ask whether The Corrective Care Silk Press is the better fit. The stylist can look at your ends and advise on the gentler route.

If you are due for a cut, the Signature Silk Press + Precision Volume Layers books the press and a layered shape in one 90-minute appointment.

If you mainly want volume and a smooth blow-out, a Blowout & Style is the shorter option.

How to make a silk press last
