I did the Japanese hair straightening treatment a couple of weeks ago and I am thrilled with it. My hair was frizzy and big. I'd previously tried brazilian keratin treatment at a different salon and it did not last. So far my hair is dead straight and soft. I was worried about breakage but I haven't noticed any. Jeju Hair is reasonably priced for this kind of thing, and the stylist/owner has been doing Japanese straightening for 15 years or something. She uses Sheiseido product for the straightening, and recommends the dark blue Redken for after care. It took almost 4 hours (long hair) but I brought a book and found it relaxing. Where with my Brazilian treatment at the other salon left a fume of formaldahyde around my face, I found this Japanese hair straightening quite mild. A couple of people at work are already going to get the treatment done too. They offer a discount for newcomers and they were lovely. It's run by the nicest couple, and the man gets coffees and also has lovely art in the lounge area. I highly recommend Jeju Hair, and Japanese hair straightening! It sounds cliche but it's changed my life. I shower, brush my hair, and leave the house with absolutely no other action required, and my hair air dries looking as it did if I'd previously spent 45 minutes blowing it out and straightening it. I'm tempted to give away my straightening iron. She recommends a weekly moisturizing mask to keep it going, but that's the only thing special. Also, I have lightened hair (not fully bleached) and she was able to do it anyway, just using a protective mask beforehand. Only the roots need done after 6 months to a year, depending on how kinky your hair grows out. Go for it!
Firstly want to say I got a fantastic hair cut and blow dry. The stylist did exactly what I asked for and I was very pleased with the outcome.
However, the downsides to this salon is the music they were playing (maybe just put the radio on in future) the water kept changing temperature to cold during my haircut and I wasn't offered a drink of any kind.
Outstanding experience! Staff , place ,and treatment were perfect. I am so happy I got my perm here instead of going elsewhere. The perm is so natural ,and everybody is complementing my hair ever since I got it!I will definitely go back again.
Thank you very much JEJU!!
