You have to go to HONEYDEW BEAUTY LOUNGE in Center City! It is fantastic....Ask for LUZ. She really knows how to take care of hair. I have been going there for 1 1/2 yrs & won't let anyone else touch my hair. I highly recommend it. I believe a touch-up is now $75 & a blowdry is $45. I wrote a review awhile back after my 1st visit, see below:

OK...the verdict is IN! MAMA LUVS HONEYDEW SALON!
My appt this Friday went great! It was even better than i expected! the stylist is Dominican, her name is Luz, and she's wonderful. This is one of the few times I've had my hair styled at a salon and haven't had to play around with it once i've left to get it 'just right'.

Details, details:
she did a touchup with Vitale (sensitive), then deep condition'd with Vitale reconstructor, put me under a hooded steamer, rinsed, blowdried me, trimmed, and flatironed....all for $65! my hair feels very silky, bouncy, & healthy. i've been getting so many compliments at work for the past couple of days & i work in a salon and spa!! aaaaand, my husband can't keep his hands out of my hair! i'm like dammit, what was my hair looking like before???

now, just a heads up concerning time-you might want to plan on setting aside about 3hrs to get a touch up...i'm cool with this, because in the past, i've spent 6+hours in a chair just for a touchup. i KNOW some of you girls know EXACTLY what i am talking about!

well, i hope this info helps! i am definitely a Honeydew Girl as long as Luz is there! thanks again to all the ladies who told me about Vitale relaxer. i KNOW i scratched the nite before and it didn't even burn!!!
i have seen the light!:notworthy Affirm who??? although, i still can't part with my Keracare/Affirm hair products, yet...tee hee....

Thanks SaintLuxe! You don't think she would care if I brought my own perm and maybe conditioner do you? Do you think she would charge less?

No problem! I am not sure about bringing your own perm, but she may let you bring in your own conditioner. I will tell you--she makes her own conditioner & it is fantastic. It smells good enough to eat & does wonders for my hair. You can always give them a call & ask about bringing your own things, though. I will give you Luz's direct number: 215-868-3281

Here is the link to their website http://www.honeydewbeautylounge.com/

If you go, let me know how the appt goes....

Good Luck!
