| Yes. Yuko System is Permanent on the Hair that is treated, however your new hair will grow in with its natural texture. Therefore, it will be necessary to eventually treat the new growth. |
| The average length of time between Hair Straightening services is 6 months. Your unique hair texture, speed of growth, and ability to work with the new growth will ultimately determine the length of time for you. |
| 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 Permanent 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. |

| Unfortunately this has happened to some. Choosing a skilled and experienced technician is the best insurance for you. Breakage usually occurs following the service as a result of stylist errors. Drew and Michelle have never broken a client's hair due to our experience, knowledge of chemicals, proper assessment of the client's hair, and careful approach in high risk situations. |
| 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 and 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 products with the Yuko System products or at the very lest alternate them in. These 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 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 hair during this time. You are encouraged to smooth hair after sleeping as well. Following the first 48 hours, you may do anything you wish with your new hair. |
| Yes! Finally. For the first few weeks your hair may be 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 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. There are stylists out there who charge less and some who charge more. We feel that our prices are right at the industry standard for a beginner. Obviously we are anything but beginners 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? So, with us Hair Straightening is $400, with an occasional $5450 but there have literally only been a couple of extreme cases of waist length Hair. |
| Usually a week. 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. |
