I got my hair relaxed and straightened by Michi in early September of 2009. I was so nervous about the whole process since I?ve seen others with not the best results from other hair stylists. I have very thick curly hair, but I always wanted wavy hair or very loose curls so it could be more manageable but still have volume. When I went in for my consultation and told Michi what I liked and what look I was after, she came up with a great idea. She suggested that she?ll straighten my bangs and the hair that frames my face, and the rest of my hair would be relaxed. I was scared that my hair was going to look dry and dead since I already had 2 old relaxers in my hair. The old relaxers for some reason didn?t stay in my hair, and my hair reverted back. So I decided to go to Michi to see if she could help me since she?s known for her skills in japanese straightening, and thankfully I did. My hair looks so awesome, I love it! My bangs are straight but not pin straight and the rest of my hair is just loose curls. I actually like wearing my ?curly? hair now. It feels so nice to finally have my dream hair =] !!
I?m so glad I went to Michi, not only is she an expert on japenese straightening, but she also is the sweetest person. She knows so much about hair and is still open to learning more. When I was getting my hair relaxed we started talking about chemicals, and how they are in most household products. It?s terrifying that we are exposing ourselves to chemicals and we don?t even notice it. She inspired me to get a shower filter because of the chlorine that?s in the water. I?m so glad that she made all her hair products natural and cruelty free. I?m using her hair treatment in the blue bottle at the moment and it is working wonderfully.
Thank you again Michi, my hair looks amazing. It was so nice to meet you, I will see you again when my hair grows out! Thank you so so soooooo much!
Pros: friendly staff, cute salon, great hair results, Michi
Cons: none i can think of, parking wasn't too bad
