Sal did my Japanese straightening about a month ago and I absolutely love it. I have done several different straightening procedures before, and Sal’s was the best — by far. My hair feels healthier and shinier than ever. Sal took a lot of time to speak to me beforehand to make sure I felt comfortable. I told him I wasn’t sure if my highlights had been done with bleach or not, so he put a protective coating over them during the procedure. That made all the difference. I was also concerned about my hair coming out stick straight. Sal used cotton balls during the process so my hair would retain some bounce — and it totally did the trick. It’s a little more expensive than some other places but totally worth it for fantastic result. I had a horrible experience at a straightening place in Queens where no one reviewed my «hair history» and they fried my hair. I will definitely be coming back to Sal next time!
