London
Service:Silk Press
Staffer:Chanelle silmon
Although Chanelle was very professional Unfortunately I was not satisfied with my silk press. I have received them many times & unfortunately this one... left me with frizzy hair. Despite the humidity of this spring day I’ve gotten them during the summer time & they have lasted for more than an hour :(

Hi London! While I’m sorry your results did not come out how either of us intended, I have communicated with you as to how we can resolve this issue. It’s never good to hear a client is unhappy despite all the hard work I’ve put in, but your opinion matters to me and I am always aiming to do what I can to improve your experience. I hope this helps and regardless, I really appreciate your feedback:)
