I love Ra Salon! \r

I have referred many people to this salon, and not one person has been disappointed. The stylists are all very nice and the atmosphere seems modern and sophisticated.\r

I get my hair cut by yasmeen, and she is FANTASTIC, hands down the best person I have ever had cut my hair! I have my hair cut and colored, however I have shoulder-length, thick, curly hair so yasmeen recommended I get the Keratin Treatment for my hair. WHAT A MIRACLE! It was the best decision I have ever made in regards to my hair. It used to take me anywhere from 45 mins to an hour to blow dry and flat-iron my hair. With this treatment it now only takes around 5 mins (give or take) to blow dry and about 10 mins to flat-iron. It saves me so much time and hassle! The treatment itself is relatively painless (the worst part being the pretty penny you have to fork over....but this salon sometimes runs specials making it completely affordable). The process goes like this: 1) They wash your hair then blow dry, 2) they apply the protein treatment to your hair and let it sit for 20 mins, 3) finally, they blow dry your hair (leaving in the treatment) and then use a specially designed flat-iron to straighten your hair. Its that simple and it's great because it doesn't damage your hair but makes it stronger, smoother, and healthier. My 2 suggestions, however are 1) be prepared for NOT being able to wash your hair, or to be able to tuck, pin, or pull your hair back (which can cause indentions in your hair until the treatment fades) FOR 3 DAYS and 2) be aware that you must use special shampoo and conditioner that are sodium and sulfate free. I found it easier to purchase the shampoo and conditioner made by Aveda, plus it's amazing, but there are other high end brands as well as organic ones that are also sodium and sulfate free.\r

I would highly recommend Yasmeen at Ra Salon and the Keratin treatment\r
