Ok,,, I did it! 2 weeks ago,,, and I am very pleased...
I did go to salon 916,, 2 girls worked on my hair, took 2.5 hours, $220... Glad I did LOTS of research before as they are all locals and communicating is challenging,,, but I know how to care for my hair post thru all my reading..
I too am freeze free and curly no more

..... at least for now.....
