Re: Oneday (Pam)
Sorry, this is long...
Yes, I did it! The drive to Queens wasn't as bad I was afraid and I found the place ok, but then I was confused by the parking (b/c I'm a dork and was thinking when it said 3 hour parking that I'd have to move it after 3 hours instead of just put more money in.) But, once I was in, I was basically swept up into the thing.
I had a little bit of a tough time with understanding them sometimes, but the people who worked on me were very nice. One woman (I believe she was saying her name was Mae), she took me to get washed and she actually seemed to do more throughout the whole time then the girl who was the actual stylist. Anyway, Mae washed my hair sat me under a dryer for maybe 20 min, then she put the chemicals on my hair and I sat for maybe a 1/2 hour - 45 min? The other girl (whose name was Maggie - Regi, they asked me if I wanted anyone in particular, I said I heard Tracy was good and that was causing all sorts of problems b/c she kept saying "you want Tracy?" I kept trying to tell her "If she's available, if not it doesn't matter." I have no idea if Tracy was even there and for a while I thought Maggie was Tracy. )
Anyway, Maggie checked my hair and told Mae when to wash it out. Then I sat for a while again until they were ready to iron. They kept saying I had "such long hair" - and did try to charge me $20 more but we made a compromise since I had discussed it with someone on the phone and told her how long my hair was. So, that part took about 2 hours with some sort of tag team effort - Mae did some of the back, she'd disappear, Maggie would do some, she'd disappear. But, once it was done - WOW!!!! I have never it that straight.
Mae put the chemicals on it again for another 15 minutes and then washed me out again and then I waited for Maggie to finish it off. It was pretty amazing that she was just drying it with her fingers and it was coming out so straight! She did finish it off with the brush and then trimmed it a little (I'm not so sure I'm happy with how she did it, but I guess she cut it sort of choppy to give it a little more texture.) Anyway, I am really happy with the results, though it seems very flat right now- but I'm hoping it'll have a little more volume as time goes on. I hate that I can't wash it yet and I am so paranoid right now of ruining it, but it is sooo soft and shiny. From the time I got in until the time walked out was just about 5 hours. (Mrswask - I'd suggest bringing something to snack on when you go. I thought I would have time to go get something in between processes, and I didn't eat breakfast and by the time I left, I was so hungry and getting a headache from it!)
Oh, the other thing that was so nice of them - after I got the first batch of chemicals rinsed out, Mae asked me when I had to move my car. My 3 hours was up at 12:00 but it was only 11:00. I said I could just go put more money in then and have it go to 2:00 if she thought I'd be too in the middle of things at 12:00 to go out. She conversed with Maggie and another woman and they told me to bring my car around, the boss wasn't in so I could park in her spot next to the building and not have to worry about it. I thought that was pretty cool of them!
So, here are a couple of pictures - the first is on Thursday when I let my hair go curly for what I imagined would be the last time for a while, and then the new hair. It's amazing how much longer it actually seems to me now then before.
Thanks to all those who answered my insessant questions before I got up the nerve to do it!

Re: Oneday (Pam)
Thanks!! It is pretty friggin amazing!!!
BTW - I just wanted to add that my before picture - that was just before I went to bed - I don't think it looked that bad and frizzy the whole day! But you can see why I had a hard time loving the curl within.
