| At first you may be able to "wash & go." However, because your own natural texture will continue to grow, you will eventually find it necessary to style the new growth until you receive a retouch service. |
|
| The average curly Hair client spends at least thirty minutes styling their Hair. After Hair Straightening most clients can achieve their desired style in ten minutes or less. This time may increase slightly as your new Hair grows back, but should never take as long as your pre-straightened time. |

| Probably not! Frizz is caused by various lengths of Hair which are wavy or curly, bending outward. Various lengths of Straightened Hair lay parallel to each other and usually go unnoticed. |
|
| It's advised that you not receive ANY chemical service two days prior or two days after Hair Straightening. |

Breakage usually occurs following the service as a result of stylist errors.

| It is a good idea to use the prescribed home care products following the service in order to maintain the condition of your new shiny, reconditioned, Straightened Hair. Yuko System's home care line consists of four types of products, three of which you probably already use now: shampoo, conditioner, and a leave-in conditioning spray. We would encourage you to replace your existing Hair care products with the Yuko System products, or at the very least, alternate them in. These Hair care products are concentrated and will likely last until your first retouch (6 mos). The fourth product is a collagen spray used to enhance shine and softness. All of the Yuko System Hair care products are excellent and can be purchased at the time of the service. |

| Only for 48 hours. During the first 48 hours you should not do anything to your hair that you would not want permanent while it is in a neutralizing state. Avoid rubber bands, clips, and hats. Do not shampoo or wet your Straightened Hair during this time. You are encouraged to smooth your Hair after sleeping as well. After the first 48 hours you may do anything you wish with your new Hair. |

| Yes! Finally. For the first few weeks your newly Straightened Hair may be a bit flat. However, after just a few weeks of new growth you will enjoy some volume on top while maintaining smooth, sleek ends! Your newly Straightened Hair will still respond to the use of heat and tools such as curling irons and round brushes. Therefore, you may achieve a curly or wavy style on occasion should you choose. |

| We like to keep our Hair Straightening prices at a flat rate. We don't start low and raise it once we see you. Also, we are not out to compete in a price war with less expensive and less talented stylists. We aren't out be to be the cheapest nor the most expensive and there are many stylists out there who charge less and some who charge more. Our prices are at the industry standard for a beginner. Obviously we aren't anything like beginners, we are experts, so we charge what we think is fair considering our skill level is worth so much more. What's a $50 savings if your hair gets ruined? Hair Straightening is always $400, even for a retouch, due to the fact that Straightening the re growth is just as time consuming (about 3 hours) as the initial Hair Straightening. On some rare occasions, like in the case of extremely long/dense hair, the cost could increase by no more than $50. Drew has only charged this additional amount a handful of times. We have an introductory rate of $350. |
|
| Usually a week or two. Saturdays book a little further out because most of our clients work or go to school. Some people don't want to wait that long but we want to bring to your attention that any stylist who has four hours to spare to Straighten your Hair at a moments notice is probably someone who is not in demand and you probably don't want to be the one to find out why? Plan ahead. |
|
| No!!! For one reason, another Hair Stylist may shy away from straightening color treated or over-processed Hair. Also, Yuko System is a tool and is only as good as the person using it!! |
