Straightening Smoothing & Permanent Waving

Straightening Smoothing and Waving

For our clients who are tired of frizz and unwanted curl, Thermal Reconditioning (TR) or one of our custom smoothing treatments is the perfect solution!

Thermal Reconditioning

Godiva Salon began doing Thermal Reconditioning (aka Japanese Hair Straightening) in 1994 shortly after Thermal Reconditioning had been introduced to the United States.  In the early years of TR, my salon was the only salon in the Eastern half of the United States offering TR services. It was so new in fact that the manufacturers of the products didn’t provide the level of training that I felt is required to produce beautiful and consistent results. I am fortunate to have colleagues that are chemists, and with their help, I put together a training system and certification for my stylists to ensure the results that you deserve. Even today we have clients that travel from other states to have their TR done by Godiva Salon. We literally have thousands of hours of experience performing this service and as they say “there really is no substitute for experience”. TR is great for those who are looking to straighten their hair over long periods of time with the retouch occurring every 6-8 months.

Pricing: $175 per hour and the process takes 4 hours on average to complete. Pricing does vary by customer.

Custom Waving and Permanent Waxing

For those of you who struggle to maintain volume in the humid South we may have an answer. In most cases we are able to provide the support you need with as few as six medium to large waving rods. The rollers are strategically placed and the size of the sections (or base) is bigger than normal. This results in lift and expansion at the root and a gentle wave that produces body in fine to medium textures of hair. This service may be done on highlighted and color treated hair.

How it Works

We will forward you a questionnaire — or you can download and print from the link to the left — to gather information such as how many people will need attention, and what services they will need. It will be helpful to get an idea of the hair lengths, and if possible, the styles desired.

Based on your response, we will assess how much time is needed and estimate the fee for service. A fee per hour, not per person, always works out to your advantage, as you don’t pay the same fee for a quick blow-dry as you would for a style that is more labor-intensive.
You pay only for the time used, as long as it is equal to, or more than, the minimum fee of $450. Portions of an hour are billed in thirty-minute increments.

This is more convenient for everyone. On such a busy and fun occasion, the individual attendants are not worrying about money. if someone did her own hair or had it done somewhere else, we can touch her up as well. We are there to ensure your whole party looks good.

The hourly rate is for one stylist. If more than one is needed or requested the fee will be based on your determined needs.

Finally, we will forward you a contract – or you can download and print from the link to the left – and ask you to sign and return it with a $150-250 deposit based on your bridal party. One half of the estimated cost will be due 3 days prior to the wedding. The remaining balance of the estimate will be charged to your card on the morning of the wedding.

Conditioning

Education

Godiva Salon’s advanced hair cutting classes are for any skill level. The focus of the classes is to create a better understanding of concepts principles and disciplines in hair cutting. Although you may learn a new haircut, that is not the goal. The goal is to give you a greater degree of confidence in the outcome of all of your haircuts. A favorite quote “give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.” Through this class you will discover why some techniques you use produce the results you want while others don’t. Class size is limited for a hands-on personal experience.
