WWYD?
I've been wanting to do the Brazilian Keratin Treatment for my hair. My hair stylist charges $450-500 to do it for my hair type. I told DH and he sort of flipped on the price so I've been putting it off. Today, I saw a groupon to do it for $99 (he is way more likely to think that's reasonable). But it's for a new salon. One, I don't know much about the place. Two, I love,love,love my stylist who I know needs the money. And I already talked to her about possibly doing it during my last appointment. What do you think I should do? And if I do the groupon thing, what do you think I should tell my stylist b/c I think she'll notice?
Re: WWYD?
I think if you're that interested in the treatment, look up the salon reviews that the groupon is for and see if it's a salon you'd be willing to even go to.
Your stylist should understand that a $350-$400 price difference on a hair treatment you've been wanting done does not mean that you are going to leave her for another salon.

I would probably call her and ask if they'd be willing to give you a price break to come have it done at their salon, if not, it's too good of a deal to pass up. If y'all are close then I'm sure she'll understand. I'd rather pay (for example) $250 and stay with my regular stylist than $99 and go somewhere else. But I couldn't justify paying $500 with her if somewhere else was having it for $99.+

I would go to the cheaper person if they had good reviews.
Also have you had it done before? Do you get the formula without the formaldehyde ?

I haven't had it done before. There is formaldehyde in the product. The salon informed me that it?s a cosmetic grade amount and is non-damaging. Since this information was given after the groupon was sent out claiming it was chemical-free, they will refund the groupon. i'm torn.

I lurk but I'd figure I'd contribute to this one....
I would at least ask about getting a discount. My mom owns a salon (out of state) and does this process. Her cost is $25 - $50 depending on the brand she goes with. So, even if you paid the groupon rate, your stylist would make some $. But I do think she'd understand if you used the groupon....it's a really good deal.
