Way back in May I had my hair straightened in Japan. It was my 6 month touch up, actually it was more like a year since my first straightening but since I wasn’t going anywhere I didn’t think I should do the touch up until I was ready to move back to the states. I’ve done some online research and found out the Japanese straightening has finally made it’s way to the states so I was sort of relieved that I could get it done here.

I went to the NEX’s Beauty Salon and they assured me that they were trained in performing this Japanese straightening. Bells should’ve went on when I asked for the price and they didn’t have one. EEEKS. They took my name and number then called me a few days later to give me a price quote of $165.00 That seemed pretty reasonable, that’s close to what they charged in Japan. The process is very long, taking around 4 hours to complete. At the end of the 4+ hour you should have shiny, smooth straight hair. Well, sadly that wasn’t the case with the NEX Beauty Salon.
