Mr. Gees in Cali will allow you to order the relaxer w/o a license. I'm sorry you're not having a good order experience w/ Pleasant Image. It's a black owned company, and I know the owner personally b/c I'm here in Miami and she agreed to meet me to pick up my order instead of making me pay shipping. Her name is Conchita, she's really nice, and she's black, which is a huge plus to me b/c I love to support black businesses. She also has beautiful long hair. Anyways, you should call her and ask when she expects to get your order out to you. She's very busy b/c she's a local distributer for a lot of other products for Sally's and a number of local salons and BSS's, and I know she's been even more busy lately with the growing popularity of Elucence, but she should try to maintain great customer service at all costs. I'm sorry you're not having a good experience so far, but I hope it turns out okay in the end. I'm sure you will love your products when you get them.
P.S. I've relaxed people's hair with Phyto and Elucence, and Elucence is heads and tails better IMHO.
