My hair had been relaxed for 6 years already (twice a year) and the process made my hair dull and unmanageable. Since my hair is naturally wavy, I thought why not try digital perming instead? So I did my research and found out that Tony and Jackey is one of the most highly recommended salons in terms of digital perm service. I also found out that they have an ongoing promo - 5k digital perm (any length) with hair treatment, haircut and hair manicure (hair cellophane).
Without thinking twice, I went to Tony and Jackey (SM San Lazaro branch) @ exactly 10AM to have my digital perm. As soon as I entered the salon, I was greeted in unison by their friendly staff. I told the salon manager/interpreter that I wanted the 5k package (Loreal product) digital perm. The first thing they did was to check the condition of my hair and then started my hair treatment. After the treatment, Mr. Isaac (korean hairstylist) and two assistants applied some perming solution on my hair, leaved it for a few minutes and then attached my hair to the curling machine which made me looked like an octopus with more than 8 tentacles. What I like the most about this salon is that the staff are very attentive to the needs of their clients. While waiting for my digital perm to finish, they offered me coffee to drink and some magazines to read (FYI: their mags are updated unlike in other salons). After about 20-25 minutes, they removed my hair from the curling machine and I was amazed because my curls were so gorgeous (like Goldilocks' hair)! But after they applied the neutralizer and washed my hair, to our surprise, the curls were instantly gone :( So they repeated the entire process for the 2nd and 3rd time but my hair was still so stubborn it won't curl. Mr. Isaac finally told me that my hair was extremely strong (plus it was previously relaxed) that's why it didn't curl but he was very amazed because after repeating the digital perming process for 3 times, my hair was still not damaged or turned brittle. I asked him if I can have my hair rebonded instead and after doing a hair strand test, he started rebonding my hair. It was actually my first time to undergo hair rebonding treatment so I was quite excited to see its difference from hair relax. The whole rebonding process just took 3 hrs. to finish for my medium-length hair. After that, they applied some hair manicure solution to my locks to make them shinier. Finally, they washed and blow-dried my hair. TADAH!!! I now have a super straight, shinier and softer hair courtesy of Tony and Jackey salon. My hair never looks this good for a very long time! I'm really satisfied with their service and I will definitely go back to their salon for my next rebonding session (need to save enough money first). I left the salon at exactly 9pm. That was the longest time I'd spent in a parlor and my butts were aching from sitting too long but it didn't matter because the output was really great =)
