Japanese hair strightening

mahika · Jun 22nd, 2009, 10:52 PM

hello friends,
So my sister has super wavy hair and she is considering to get japanese hair straightening done.
Back in pakistan, I got my hair permanantly straightened and they used italian products at first I was happy with the results after a while I strted hating it as my hair was wavy again.
So, is japanese straightening any better?
are the results good.?
Please give me more info on this.
P.s - my sisters hair is wavy, really really really dry and short.
AND - any1 living in toronto ... can u suggest some salons and wht is the cost here.
Thankyou

i dont know abt japanese or italina....but friends of mine got japanese rebonding done - using schwarzkopf products - and it turned out just fine for them...costs upwards of 12k in most reputable karachi salons for shoulder lenght hair..

i would personally recomnd it, i lived in hongkong and i used to get it done every 2 years, it makes ur hair look healtheir shinier and just beautifull. but they do become very sleek n straight meaning no volume, they stay straight for a arnd a year n half. make sure u get it from a nice professional salon, i wouldnt recomnd getting it done from pakistan.

Mahika, try any of the reputed salons in your area (where in toronto do you live??)
There's always a Donato salon and spa in most of the malls, I'm sure they can help you. Or my fave hair salon in sauga, Mane Society. From my estimates, I think it might just cost you atleast $200-$300...

i live in east york, victoria park and danforth .. close to downtown. theres a salon here called *twin Image* which i went to, they were charging 140$ (haircut included) becuz my sisters hair is very short (above the shoulder). the one in sauga wld b really far frm whr i live but i ll definately get more info on Donato.
thankyou .
