I got a keratin treatment nearly 5 years ago. It was a disaster. My whole head of hair got fried. I was absolutely devastated. It took me many years to grow it to the length it was at that time 30".

Some ladies have good experiences and other disasters like mine. Not that I wanted it to go that way but…I refuse to be ripped off and made to suffer. I wish more ladies would stand up for themselves by not allowing these crooks off the hook. The salon is a HUGE chain…and that was my first big mistake!
