Animated Curly Hair to Straight Hair
 

“Gina!!!!! All I can say is AMAZING! I washed and styled my hair last night and I can't believe how straight my hair is! After spending a lifetime trying to fight my hair and spending 1.5 - 2hours with the blow dryers, round brushes and flat irons, I was able to just blow dry my hair by only using my fingers to comb through and the blow dryer!  Also, I was outside last night and it had to be near 90% humidity. My hair didn't shrink or curl one bit! I have received so many compliments on my hair, especially from girls who get relaxers done. They are saying how shiny silky and healthy my hair looks.  Thank you Gina. My whole world has changed. Twenty minutes to do my hair and I am out the door!”
Bernadette, Washington, DC

 “Hi Gina-just a quick note to say how awesome my curly, now straight hairs looks. Its great! I thought it might be a problem w/ my dry brittle hair due to medications and it still worked!! Thanks so much!”

Kristine, CT

  “Hi I just wanted to drop by and say how happy I am with the thermal I got done by Gina! I've gotten the service done twice before from a different salon over in Greenwich, CT (a 2 hour drive) but was unhappy with the overcharged price, the staff, and the results weren't as good as they should have been. Hair's Talent did a fantastic job! The staff is really friendly too. They made the time go by fast and were able to work around my busy work schedule. They got me in and out before going away on vacation. Thanks so much guys! It's really nice to be able to go to a place like Hair's Talent with people who know what they are doing.”
Laura, Vernon, CT

 “Hair's Talent is the ultimate salon for those of us with thick, curly, unmanageable hair. I walked in with a disaster on my head and walked out with a sleek, workable and very attractive style. Wow. Their Thermal Reconditioning process is on my agenda for summer -- it turns hair like mine into silk. And the place is just full of friendly positive energy. Can't say enough about the salon, Luisa and Gina. Thanks Hair's Talent!”

Susan, New Haven, CT

 “Just wanted to tell you how utterly happy I am with my latest TR. This one was the best yet and they've all been excellent. My hair has never looked better or been healthier and it's all due to you and your staff. Before I became a client I always hated my hair and wished for a miracle to happen that would give me the straight silky hair that I "should" have been born with. I consider Hair's Talent to be that long-awaited miracle. I can't recommend you highly enough. Thank you Gina and everyone at Hair's Talent.”

Bill, Hartford, CT

 “I have been a client of Gina's for 16 wonderful years and I have only the highest praise for the Gina and the people who work for her. They are a family and they treat their customers like family. I trust Gina with my hair and one week ago she talked me into getting a Japanese Thermal. This African American woman loves her thermal! Why did I wait so long? It is 1000 times better than the traditional African American perms! There is no hair breakage and your hair will feel like silk. If you want healthy, straight and silky hair--Call Gina ASAP!”

Debbie, New Haven, CT

 “I got the thermal reconditioning done in the end of August 2007. I am in high school. I absolutely LOVE my hair now that it is straight. i highly recommend getting this done to your hair if you are considering it. My hair before was so wild and crazy, now I can do anything I want with it even go swimming. My hair was really long and curly now it's even longer and so much straighter. It was so worth the wait. Now I get comments on how pretty my hair is all the time.”

Ria, Orange, CT

 “I have had my hair thermal reconditioning bt Gina (the owner), she was honest and gave me great results. I still can't believe how wonderful my hair looks. I even have her cut my hair since she is so good.Every since then I have been hooked on this great salon. The knowledge level is outstanding. My hair has never looked this good. I don't even need the hair dryer. My highlights were done by Louisa who is awesome. All of the girls are very talented and help each other when needed and treat each other and their clients with respect.”

Darlene, Milford, CT

 “I got a thermal done today and I'm ecstatic! All the information I read online pretty much told me I could never have a thermal done (because I had a previous sodium hydroxide relaxer in my hair, and highlights, and multiple colors!) but with great luck I found Hairs Talent, and Gina, who was so well versed in the treatment that she took my frizzy curls to glossy straight! I'm really excited about the new styling possibilities I have as well as great low maintenance days! I'm going to tell all my friends that are unsatisfied with frizzy woes about this place! My hair feels 10x more healthy (not what you'd expect) and I got a great cut to boot. Hooray for the miracle that is Thermal at Hairs Talent!”

Kat, Woodbury, CT

 “Dear Gina, it’s been almost a week, and I wanted to wait no longer to tell you that I love love love the mini TR you gave my hair last week. It’s everything I was hoping for—just what the hair doctor ordered! I wish this service was around 30 years ago. It’s given me new confidence, and I don’t feel embarrassed about my hair anymore. I would recommend this service to anyone who struggles with their frizzy hair and wants to put a bag over their head in the summer.”

Sandy, CT

“The staff of Hairs Talent are truly talented. They took my curly/frizzy hair and transformed it into soft, unfizzy waves! Now I can air dry my hair or blow dry my hair completely straight without fear of rain or humidity. If you have been dreaming of beautiful hair and if you have been trying to find the perfect salon for your problem curls, look no more, your search is over!”

Mary, Middletown, CT

“Thanks for the thermal reconditioning (also known as Japanese hair straightening). You have changed the curly nest on my head into healthy stylish hair.
Guys with a mess for hair, if you are looking for a non-intimidating hair styling experience (if you are not looking for one, you'd better get started and save the world from looking at people with bad hair), your answer is Hair's Talent.
Gina, you are the BEST.”

Madhu, Rocky Hill, CT

 “I have to tell you that Gina and her staff are AWESOME!!! People who say that a TR treatment cannot be done on African American hair don't know what they are talking about! (I am a 44 y.o. African American woman). Gina and her staff have taken the time to gather the expertise to do exactly that. They are life changing stylists and I guarantee if you give them an opportunity to work with you, you will not be disappointed! Gina, I LOVE my new hair and my TR treatment and your professionalism and that of your stylists and staff is exceptional. I may live in the Virgin Islands but I guarantee the care of my hair will stay in Branford at Hair's Talent!”

Lisa, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands

 “I just wanted to say that coming to Hairs Talent allowed me to have the best hair experience of my life (I'm 33).I am an African American woman and this salon caters to ALL hair types. I was scared to death because I wanted to try something new, but the ladies in the salon were FANTASTIC and put me at ease. I LOVE my hair and so doesn't my husband. Kudos to Gina (salon owner) and her awesome staff. I had the opportunity to talk to and watch everyone perform and I can honestly say that they all truly posess TALENT.”

Aimee- from Taftville, CT

 “I had to write and let you know how happy I am with the PPT treatment. Before my treatment my hair was DULL, LIFELESS and DRY. Like I told you, I've reached the dreaded menopause and my hair was suffering. I can't believe that in one treatment my hair is fuller and easy to manage, shiny and alive!! I love it. There are no tugs and snags when I brush, and while the natural curls have returned, they are lose and bouncy instead of dry and frizzy. And when I blow dry my hair it takes have the time .Everyone has commented on how good my hair looks and I recommend PPT to all my friends.
Thank you for your recommendation. And by the way I love coming to Hair's Talent, it's wonderful to find a salon where you have knowledgeable stylists that are fun to be around.”

Who would think that long, thick curly hair could be burden? People were always surprised that I kept my hair braided. Weekly I would hear...“If I had hair like that, I would let it fly free” or “If you are going to keep it braided, why don’t you just cut it?”
 
I was trapped with it long, and I was trapped with it braided. Unbraided would let it billow twice my width. I would literally get snagged on door knobs and stair railings. I would brush things off of table tops as I walked by. It was encroach into my peripheral vision and make me cluster phobic. I could no drive with it out of the braid.
 
Combing it out was an hour long event each day. Even braided, it would snarl. Combing had to be methodic or it would billow out of control.
 
I couldn’t think of cutting it. The weight from the length kept it flowing in a downward direction. The braid was the way to tame it. When my hair was shoulder length or shorter, each night I had to use an ace bandage wrapped around my head to keep it from the 1960s mega afro. Shorter hair would give me a granny perm look.
 
I never complained out loud to people. There are so many people with greater burdens. But I have to say that the Thermal Restructuring has changed my life. For two weeks I was in disbelief. I kept thinking it wasn’t possible. I was sure it was temporary. The results gave me hair as smooth and as shiny as glass. It was beyond my expectations. My hope was that it would give me some control. I expected it to be like other things I had tried. Past methods would straighten my hair like a crumpled piece of paper after you pull it back up. I would lay flat but it would still be crinkled.
 
It has been over two months, and it is still smooth and shiny. My poetic friend Bonnie says, “It cascades down your back like an ebony river”. I can’t thank Bonnie enough for telling me about Hair’s Talent. She was my roommate for several years and she knew what my hair was like to manage. I can’t thank Hair’s Talent enough for this incredible accomplishment. Gina worked for even and a half hours to make this transformation happen. They wanted me to keep my hair long and took that amount of time to make it really happen. Looking back on that day makes me laugh. They didn’t know what to think of my reaction. I only had a slight smile. I can only say I must have been in shock and disbelief. I remember saying to myself as I pulled away in my car, “please don’t wake up now”. The next time I was them, they knew I was thrilled. My friend Bonnie and I came to the salon, and I had tears of joy in my eyes.
