I was wondering if anybody knows of any good places to get Japanese straightening done in Vancouver, BC. There are a lot of places that do it, but I want a good place and I don't know anybody who has had it done before.
Thanks!

Oh yeah and also DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THIS PROCESS IF YOU HAVE HIGHLIGHTS. I know that some places will not even do it for you if you have them in your hair. That is not the salons fault if you do your research and use common sense. You cant fry your hair too much, you either want straight hair or you want blond highlights. Both will lead to a breakage disaster. I also recommend using Chi or any other brand Kertin Spray on your hair daily and also look for a shampoo with a high amount of Kertin protein in it. Harmon has their own brand and its animal friendly on top of being amazing for your hair.

DONT GO TO HAIR VILLAGE IN WOODSIDE ... I've gone there for many years just for a weekly blow dry and have witnessed girls coming back in tears because their hair has fallen out. They are not trained or licensed! they give you a number because they are so crowded. They dont understand a word you say except TIP ME NOW! avoid this place at all cost. I'm surprised they havent been shut down. Its probably because they pay HUSH money to any agent. If you want to save money thats fine, but there are other places in Queens that charge the same rate and focus on you without passing you to several girls. Its not safe nor sanitary. Try Hair Pro which is the same price, cleaner, licensed and they speak english!!!!!

Hello.
I have very long hair, and i have a 5 month old son. i REALLY don't have time to st8n my hair every single day. So, i believe i'm going to give the japanese hair straightner treatment a try. Does anyone know any salons in WV that will do it? And does it depend on how long your hair is?

Hi,
I have mixed curly, dry and frizzy hair. I tried yesterday for the first time the Japanese hair straightening technique. My hair feels softer but after they rinsed the hair in the saloon for the last time, it was still VERY, VERY curly! It is ok after blow drying but the only reason why I decided to do this treatment was to stop blow drying every time I wash my hair.
Did anybody experienced anything similar??
Does this treatment really work on ALL hair types??
Will I ever stop blow drying my hair after washing??
I though of buying the products so I could apply it on the hair myself.
- Does anybody know where I could buy reliable Japanese hair straightening products online?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Nadya

My daughter & I have thick curly, frizzy hair. I paid $350 to a stylist here in Oklahoma City who said she was using the Chi Thermal system & it didn't take on my daughter; she then did it a 2nd time & no luck again. I waited a year & bought the Quantum Thermal system, we did this ourselves carefully following instructions.This has turned out so much better for both of us. My friend applied it to my hair & I applied the system to my daughter's hair. If you have healthy hair & have ever used a relaxer before it is fairly simple.

hey if u guys plan on getting this done and have spent a lot of time coloring your hair w/ drugstore colors ex. clairol, revlon, etc. make sure you check to see if these colors have these certain metallics in them b/c if you do the straightening it could turn your hair to mush. And talk to your professional about this.
I actually haven't gotten this done yet but i really look forward to it. I might have to travel out of state though b/c I don't really trust getting something like this done in alabama.

hi, i agree with most of the comments, but one thing every one needs to be aware of, is to make sure they do a test on your hair before anything, because the first time i did my hair,it was the best thing i've done for my hair, the second time, i went to a different salon, recomended by a friend, my hair was completely fried, no joke, i cry for week, my hair was curly and really long, i have to cut my hair above my shourlders, the guy who did my hair didn't know english so make sure you can communicate with your hair stylist, i ended up with gum like elastic hair. horrible. til now i haven't done it anymore.

I had the chi straightener 2 times before but this time the third my hair looks fried. I'm not sure what happened all I know is I want to fix it. Should I use the keratin treatment to fix it?
I will prob never do this again. Its pretty scary. My hairdresser is not offering info on what happened she seems confused. She is blaming it on the fact that I also have highlights. Any thoughts on what to do?

i have thick curly frizzy dry hair, I know a lot of you people do and are worried about this. You have NO IDEA how much the straightening has helped, seriously. I've gotten it done 4 times over the past 4 years id say..Im talking about such manageable silky hair that you get SO many compliments on. You look completely different. The only type of straightening I got was called CHI japanese straightening. After you get it done buy the CHI products and the CHI straightener. Hey, its worth the money, let me tell you that. I highly reccommend youll be happy. If anyone finds great salons where they got their hair done PLEASE SHARE! because even if they do straightening, you gotta make sure its CHI and ask the hairstylists!
so get it done!!! but please share any good salons?!?!

I have curly, frizzy hair. If I don't put any gel on it, my hair will be super silky and will not do anything. I would like a japanese straighter but can not afford it. any suggestions. I would like to just wash my hair and go in the mornings and not have to gel it and blow dry and then curl.

I had done the Rusk STR8 straightening for about 8 years every 6 months or more. I switched to the Bio Ionic after waiting for a year for my hair to grow out fully because I wanted to see if the Bio Ionic would be "healthier" for my hair. I did that twice and recognized it was giving me the same results...I actually liked the results that I got from Rusk better...Im going back..500 dollars is CRAZY for a product that grows out just as fast! Do your research on the salon and the stylist especially before getting into straigthening!

I've been doing the Japanese Straightening for 3yrs now and I LOVE IT!!! My hair was soooo damaged from highlights and decided to give this a try and it made my hair so much better. No more frying ur hair with blow dryers and straiteners, just shower and go. I get many compliments... Its the best thing i ever did.

Hi. I too have dense, curly (but fine) hair which i usually wear natural, but occasionally will flat iron straight. I have done a lot of research on straightening systems and decided to go with the Coppolla Keratin System. It claims to be healthy for your hair and formaldehyde free (formaldehyde is a carcinogenic). This is the first time I have had this treatment done, and I must say that I am pleased with the results so far!! Silky, straight hair yay!! And I use a CHI flat iron on my hair, but I have also heard that the Sedu iron is also amazing, for any of you looking for a great iron.
