Since I am on a budget right now, I was searching on Craigslist for hairstyling deals. I found Luis through a post that offered a Brazilian Blowout for $99.00. Since it's normally $250-300, this was an amazing deal I thought too good to be true. I looked up reviews of Julian Hans and Luis and could not find any negative ratings. So I went in last week for a consultation and ended up getting the Brazilian along with a hair cut. I have gotten a keratin smoothing treatment before, but the Brazilian is one million times better. My hair is naturally unpredictable and frizzy, but now it's so easy to deal with and soft and has pretty waves if I let if air dry. Best deal ever! Just know that they do a mandatory protein conditioning before and after which is $20 total... worth it. Just keep in mind you have to buy sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to upkeep this for the 3 months you want it to last. I bought Pureology ($30 per bottle) because my hair was out of shape. I have thin hair, but the way Luis cut it was absolutely gorgeous. The layers and blowdry made it look full without being scary big hair. I wish I had the skills to make it that way everyday. I would definitely recommend this salon- they are super polite and welcoming. I have worked at 2 salons; one being Toni n Guy. They almost train you to act better than everyone else. Luis is awesome and outgoing so it's not awkward having chats and joking around. He will tell you exactly what he is going to do and why (or what condition your hair is in and what he recommends). I was going to get my hair colored this weekend with Luis, but I have to move. I will be back when I save up some more dough.
