I went to Tiki for the Brazilian Blowout $199 introductory price. I had to leave for a out of state function in 2 days so no time for consultation started it right away. For my hair thickness and little over shoulder length I was quoted $250. The procedure was completed in an hour because Tiki believes she is fast at her work (which is skipping steps as per the instructions). When I asked her about the treatment she handed over the instructions to me which clearly said after Keratin application and blow try wash the hair which she didn't do. She went straight to finishing with an iron. I questioned her and she said my customers don't prefer washing (I was not even given a choice till I asked her). What bothered me more is I did not cut my hair in 6 months and she repeatedly told me I needed a haircut badly and she will charge me additional $35 instead of $50. I was totally annoyed becuase she was loud there were other customers and she kept embarrasing me again and again. Finally I agreed for $25 and she finished her haircut in 5 mins. My hair looked great when I wanted out. No home care instructions were provided other than light blow dry. I washed my hair and it was back to the same again even after blow drying. I had to use the straightener and spend the same time to maintain it. I really don't know what I was suppose to expect for $250. The frizzes were the same. I saw no difference in my hair texture. I do not know about the other staff, but, I was absolutely disgusted with Tiki's character and work and would never recommend anyone to see her.
