Why the savings are real
What you are actually paying for at a salon.
01
The product
QIQI Hair Controller costs ~$168 for a 150g bottle. A salon buys the same product at wholesale and charges you $200–$500 to apply it. The chemistry is identical whether you apply it or a stylist does.
02
The labor
A salon charges for 2–3 hours of a stylist’s time, chair rental, rent, insurance, and utilities. The application process is straightforward — section, apply, heat, rinse. Our step-by-step guide walks you through it.
03
The aftercare markup
Salons sell sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner at $20–$50 per bottle. The same quality aftercare costs a fraction when you source it yourself. Our kits include matched aftercare from ~$232.

Common questions
Savings calculator — FAQ
How accurate is this savings calculator?
The calculator uses the prices you enter for your salon costs and compares them against the retail price of QIQI Hair Controller (~$168 for 150g, which covers 3+ treatments on shoulder-length hair). Your actual savings depend on your hair length, thickness, and how many treatments you get from each bottle. Most customers with shoulder-length hair get 3–4 treatments per bottle.
What is included in the "at-home cost" figure?
The at-home cost includes one bottle of QIQI Hair Controller (~$168) which covers 3+ treatments, plus an estimated aftercare cost of ~$30/year for sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. If you already own sulfate-free products, your actual cost is even lower.
Do I need any special equipment to do keratin treatment at home?
You need a hair straightener (flat iron), a wide-tooth comb, sectioning clips, and gloves — things most people already have. Our DIY Treatment Kit includes a heated cap and tools for ~$220 if you want the complete setup. The treatment process is the same one your stylist follows.
Is the at-home result really the same as a salon?
Yes. QIQI Hair Controller is the same professional-grade product used in salons worldwide. The active ingredients and chemical process are identical whether you apply it yourself or a stylist does. The product does the work — not the salon. Over 3,000 customers have achieved salon-quality results at home.
How long does each at-home treatment last?
With proper sulfate-free aftercare, each QIQI Hair Controller treatment lasts 3–5 months. Without sulfate-free shampoo, results fade in 4–6 weeks — which dramatically increases your cost per month. Using the right aftercare is the single biggest factor in making each treatment last.
