What to expect

You bring the brief. Choosing the chemistry is my job.

  1. 2I’ve given up selling conditioning treatments in London.
  2. 3I choose the chemistry, not you.
  3. 4The hands and the knowledge matter more than the product — in the salon and at home alike.
  4. 5Sometimes the answer is no.
  5. 6Nothing is 100% — and “repair” is coating, not healing.
  6. 7The first visit, I work slightly under.
  7. 8The price is the price.
  8. 9“Organic” straightening and perming is a sales word.

  • Cheap smoothingDOWN is where most of my correction work starts.
  • If it's a no, you hear it from me, before you pay a penny.

Don't cook your hair.
