June 27,2004.The day started out rainy and ended up nice and pretty, just the kind of day to go along with her new hair.This client had colored hair and the procedure turned out fabulous! From frizzy curly to this, wow! This new mom is sure to like her new hair! She took 4.5 hours.

"KP" done July2,2004...This new Dallasite is sure to love her brand new hair! From very curly to nicely straight, her hair will be so easy to care for now. Her colored hair lightened up a tad but saved her $ in processing time. She also gained about an 1" in length and this is even after we cut it about 1/2".Her very thick,very curly,tinted hair was very easy to do, taking a total of  3 hours and 45 minutes. She won't have to have this done again for a year now... Price:$ 375.00

"LC" done July 5th,2004. This clients' hair wasn't too terribly curly nor frizzy. It was just enough of both to stress her out and eat into precious time in the morning. She had no previous color or highlights and although her hair was long, it was not very thick. Her procedure took exactly 4 hours. In those 4 hours her hair was transformed into easy to care for hair. Money well spent...

Done July15,2004, KG didn't really have "bad curly hair", instead it was fairly thick and wavy. The front hairline was very kinky curly, but it's my policy not to show faces on the site, so there is no pictures of this curly hair. It all came out nicely,as evidenced by these photo's. Her bleached ends even did nicely, after protecting the heck out of them. Bleached hair is usually not recommended... 4hours,15minutes

DC, done July16,2004An An amazing hair transformation! She has tightly curled,thick Indian hair...Her hair was simply beautiful after the Japanese Hair Straightening! Now her husband appreciates how much faster she is getting ready to go out!  She took 4.5hours. To see the side views of her hair, move your mouse over each picture.

NOTE: I do a ton of thermals all the time. (typically about 5-7 thermals a week) Alot of my thermal business come to me for a retouch after experiencing bad thermals or customer service elsewhere in the Dallas area. Because they are coming in for retouches their "before" pics don't really show the depth of their curly hair. Therefore they don't make it up on the website. Thank you for your business and for putting trust in your hair with me!!!
