Sema Hair Japanese hair straightening — Local services in Palisades Park

My 3C curls have always been a challenge, so I finally decided to try Japanese straightening.

The results? Life-changing. I’ve never felt this confident about my hair. It’s sleek, healthy-looking, and unbelievably easy to manage. On top of that, the price was more than fair, especially given the level of skill and attention Grace brings to her work.

The salon was very clean and although there was a language barrier, the staff was very professional and knowledgeable.
