Needed more texture & body now that spring has sprung and caps and hats are back in the closet. Made a first-time appt at Regis for a texture perm with Diana. Impressed immediately with her professionalism and the sheer fact that she was on-time. (I've paid $150 for stylists who repeatedly saunter in late with excuses, making me wait 15, 20 minutes and more.) After completing a new-customer card, she asked what look I wanted, then brought me two style books so we'd be on the same page. Found a cute style. Diana took up the scissors. My cut was quite good and executed quickly. The stylist applied a prep lotion, then rapidly rolled the rods. Great care was taken in the rinsing/neutralizer/rinsing phase to keep solution out of my eyes. This was an excellent texture perm, professionally executed with no discomfort (dripping solution, clumsy rod-handling, no concern for the client's well-being). There was very little chemical smell. Texture and wave perms have come a long way. If you are considering getting one, this is the place to go. I was in at 9 am and out around eleven-ish. Way to go, Regis! Thank you!
