I appreciate my long standing and new client base, looking forward to our ongoing relationship and the opportunity to safely serve you! Japanese hair straightening or thermal reconditioning is a method of permanently straightening and defrizzing hair types that include overly curly, wavy kinky hair. The process simultaneously straightens and repairs hair by realigning the cysteine bonds and improves the hair structure by sealing in the highest quality proteins / emollients through the heat and compression of a flat ironing process.

I have been to Leresh twice now. She has exceptional knowledge of the Japanese straightening method and the results I have achieved are amazing. I had trouble starting both appointments on time, and clients are to wait outside and text their artist to let them in. I arrived ten minutes early and texted her, and then spoke to another stylist who said she checked on Leresh and she would be ready in a minute.
Then I waited until 15 minutes into my appointment to be let in. She said she didn't know I was outside and she never got my text. This happened twice. For my initial appointment, I paid $550. When I came back for my fill, I was expecting to pay the quoted $290 she gave me at my last appointment. But nope, she charged me the same amount as my initial appointment, even with much less time and product used.
I didn't even have all that money on my person so I had to write a check for the tip. It was confusing and I didn't want to argue, so I just paid to get out. Her office is comfortable and calm, the location is good, and she is personable and organized. Unfortunately, she has been very rough on my hair the both times I have been in. She tugs and yanks on hair with brushes, pulling at the roots and causing excessive pain and breakage.
I explained to her how I have a medical condition which causes my hair to be a bit weaker than average, but she was still extremely aggressive with it and ripping lots of it out. I'm not sure if she was rushing the services or is not used to dealing with long, thick hair, but I don't know if I can go back. : I tipped very well both times in an effort to convince her I was a client worth slowing down for, but I don't think I can deal with this experience again.
My scalp stings and I shudder thinking of all the hair I lost unnecessarily. This would be the BEST place to come if she would slow down a bit more, use wide tooth combs at first, comb from the ends to the roots, and work out knots gently with a comb.

I received the Japzillian service and was pleased with the outcome. Smooth, shiny, and silky hair again for at least 3-6 months. However, coming from someone who has been getting the Japanese Hair Straightening treatment since I was 15 years old and I'm now 30, this was the most I and my parents (during my teen years) have ever paid for this type of hair treatment.
As a side note, there was not much of a difference with the Brazilian added to it, hair looked the same as it would after a Japanese hair straightening. After, everything including gratuity it was a little over $1,000. My hair is about mid-back length, thick, wavy hair. Islander hair as people here like to call it. I've received the Japanese hair straightening in Hawaii and Arizona and not once did it ever cost more than $600.
While the experience and expertise is invaluable, $950.00 is way overpriced. Unfortunately, folks with unruly/curly/wavy hair, we can become desperate for straight hair and will pay whatever the price to be curl or frizz free. Because of this, you have the overcharge. Nonetheless, I encourage you to do your research and call around as there are just as experienced hair stylists providing the same service at a lower cost.

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality I got my first Brazilian blowout from LeResh a few days ago, and I'm hooked! My hair has NEVER looked or felt this great. I think I'll invest in the Japzilian next so my hair looks like this forever. Thanks LeResh for an amazing experience! Service: Hairstyling

I'm a white dude with the curliest hair you've ever seen. Across my life, I've been to different places to get my hair straightened, and 2 out of 3 times, within days, it comes out not straightened at all. So when I find someone who can do the service and do it right, it's something to take real note of, as most places just can't do it. LeResh is one of the few places that very seriously excels in hair straightening. I went from looking like Huey from the Boondocks (complete with scowling expression) to having straight hair that looks great and is super easy to manage. Pics below!

I recommend anyone interested in Japanese hair straightening to go to her! I got the Japzillian; my hair looks and feels healthy and sheen. LeResh was completely professional and knew what she was doing.

Very comfortable and cute little studio. Laresh was very personable and attentive to what it was I actually wanted and suggested I go with the Brazilian blowout. I am so thrilled with the results! My hair is frizz free and very straight- exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend getting your hair done with her. Thank you so much Laresh!

Leresh does an amazing Brazilian Blowout! I never thought my hair would ever look so beautiful. She knows exactly what to look for, listens to the client, and also offers suggestions. I couldn't be happier or more satisfied with my experience with Leresh. After trying several hair straightening people, Leresh is the hair straightening specialist that I will return to.

I visited LeResh a week ago for a Japzilian hair treatment and could not be happier with the results. She couldn't have been more knowledgable or professional. I have always struggled with styling my hair because it's wavy and very thick. Now it takes me about 10 minutes to blow dry my hair and I don't have to damage it with a flat iron. I will definitely be referring friends there and plan to go back for another treatment when needed. Thanks LeResh!

As a working mom with two kids, I do NOT have time to straighten my hair my naturally kinky hair. I had the Japzilian about a month ago and my hair still looks great. After a wash I've had to spend 15 minutes max on my hair. Daily I spent about 5 minutes in the morning. She really knows what she's doing as you can see from reading her website. The Japzilian was well worth the money. :
