The Atlanta-based beauty salon specializes in treating various hair types from coarse to fine hair. Co-Owner Jade Gonzalez is Hair Colorist and a Master Cosmetologist with over 20 years\u2019 experience with a specialty in Japanese Thermal Hair Straightening.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you do to treat coarse hair?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have varying conditioning products. We have a product line that we have imported from the Dominican Republic. The product is called Dominican Hair Shield, and it has great moisturizing shampoos, masks, conditioners and leave-in creams that keep the hair nice and smooth. That is what we use on coarser hair commonly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What look or technique have you perfected, and can you give any tips for our readers?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are known for a process called Japanese Thermal Hair Straightening. It is a hair straightening service for coarse or curly hair \u2014 it actually works on all hair textures. It gets the hair completely bone-straight with a little bit of blow dryer heat, and clients do not need to come in for another six months.<\/p>\n<p>The process takes about 4 hours, but it has little to no maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>It gets the hair completely bone-straight with a little bit of blow dryer heat, and clients do not need to come in for another six months.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is the Japanese Thermal Hair Straightening Service chemicals or heat?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a thyl-based relaxer, so it\u2019s really like a light perm. We have seen a decrease in sodium-hydroxide relaxers, but the process we perform [Japanese Thermal Hair Straightening] is very different from other forms of relaxers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s say a client has natural hair, and they want their hair straightened, but not with the Japanese Thermal Hair Straightening service, what would you give them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We could do the Dominican round-wrist blow-dry style that would be heat and flatiron. If they something semi-permanent, we offer Keratin treatments. It keeps the hair straighter for three months; it is not entirely organic nor is it technically considered a chemical. It doesn\u2019t permanently alter the hair. The hair should go back to its original texture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautyconsultantmagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/picture1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beautyconsultantmagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/picture1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"344\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beautyconsultantmagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/picture1.jpg 344w, https:\/\/www.beautyconsultantmagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/picture1-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beautyconsultantmagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/picture1-335x205.jpg 335w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 344px) 100vw, 344px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What tips can you give to rising hair professionals on styling all types of hair?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Learn how to do all types of hair. A lot of people want to cater to one hair texture. Specifically, we have to be diverse. A lot of African-American clients who do not have coarse hair complain that African-American stylists often use to much heat. We need to address everyone individually.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you say that using a lot of heat on hair is not optimal?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some hair requires a lot of heat, or it won\u2019t straighten. However, this can damage hair over time if heat is used too often. I think the healthiest thing for your hair is to leave it in a more natural state.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What would you suggest to clients who want their hair at its healthiest state for coarse hair?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do not use a lot of heat. A lot of our clients put their flatiron at the wrong temperature or use the wrong type of flat iron like a titanium or iron flatiron without heat protection products. Use ceramic flatiron instead. Also, get haircuts! Don\u2019t be afraid to cut your hair.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.
