"Don't be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God."
1 Peter 3:3-4

Did you know:

A Digital Perm is the same concept as a Setting Perm. You set your hair the way in which you'd like it styled on a daily basis. They wire you up by plugging in the curlers in your hair to an electric mechanism. You will look & feel a lot like the Bride of Frankenstein for about 45 minutes. During that time you have to keep your head suspended so as not to pull out any of the wires. The whole process takes about an hour.

The end result is stylish no-fuss hair everyday. Some girls like to curl their layers Charlie's Angels style. You can still wear it straight with a straight iron or kick it up a notch w/ a curling iron or blow dryer for a night out.

salon

5 different locations throughout the Chicagoland area. Not all of them are exactly alike, so you should try them out as you see fit. They cater to both men & women of all ages. They do everything from hair & makeup wedding packages to straight & setting perms. I don't recommend you go unless you speak Korean fairly well. If not, you should bring someone who does.
