How
badly does the straightening damage my hair?
Well in most cases the straightening is actually a re-texturizing process.
In other words, generally your hair will feel better after the process,
smoother, shiner & silkier.

How
long does it take? Get ready…short hair takes about 3 hours,
shoulder-length hair about 3 hours, bra-length hair 3-4 hours. The thicker
your hair density, the longer it will take, but I gurantee you'll absolutely
love the extra time you'll save every morning. It changes lives, no doubt!
back to top
Yes!
It's best to come into the salon for a quick 15 min, consultation so I
can assess your hair and give a quote. At the very lease, a phone consultation
is required. If neither have been scheduled 48 hrs before the appointment
time, the scheduled straightening will be cancelled.
back to top
How
long after a color process, do clients need to wait to perform this service?
You must wait at least 7-10 days.
back to top
Can
clients color with highly lightened hightlights get a straightening service?
Absolutely! Of course, special attention must be taken with the treated
part of your hair. However, the back and length of the hair, which is
usually stronger, can be processed normally, both with excellent results.
During the required consultation, assurance or deterence will be given
after the assessment.
Can
I do a Permanent Thermal Straightening after bleach highlights? Yes.
However, the bleached hair must be able to be separated, and only subtly
processed if at all.
back to top
Will
this process lighten color-treated hair? Sometimes it can lighten
1-2 shades, most times about a half a shade.
back to top
Will
this process lighten the color of virgin hair? Not much initially,
but if exposed to saltwater, chlorinated water and bright sunlight, will
intensify this effect.
back to top
Ideally,
how long must the hair be to perform this service? I've done men's
straightenings that are about 3 inches in length, but longer lengths are
more impressive.
back to top
Does
the ironing matter when I get a Permanent Thermal Straightening? Yes!
Just as when wrapping a traditional perm, when straightening, the ironing
technique is vital to a great result. The straightening technician should
work precisely to ensure every hair is smoothed properly.
back to top
Why
is it necessary to wait 72 hours before shampooing,
clipping, or banding the hair? The hair continues to naturally oxidize
normalize into its strongest state over these 72 hours, providing superior,
long-lasting results. Bands or clips could leave permanent marks on the
hair if used before 7 days.
back to top
Do
clients need to avoid all types of moisture for 48 hours, such as steam
rooms, hot tubs, gyms (perspiration) after the straightening? Yes.
Although this sounds like trouble, the long-term results will be your
greatest reward.
back to top
How
long do clients need to wait for a retouch? There must be a minimum
of 3 to 4 inches of regrowth to perform a retouch. This may be 6-9 months
of new growth. The length of the hair will also have an effect on the
length of time between services.

How
is the charge for this service determined? The per hour rate is 95.
per hour. However, generally the total is below retail.

Hi Danne,
I can't believe I have straight hair! Thank you so much!!!After all these
years of blow drying and flat ironing it is a miracle to be able to wash
my hair and let it air dry straight!
I dont have a lot of time to get ready in the mornings on layovers and
finally having my hair straightened saves so much time! I was worried
about my highlights being damaged and my hair being dry and dull, but
it's actually still soft and shiney.I should have done this years ago.
Thanks again love Steph...
Hey
Danne, I just wanted to thank you again for straightening my hair! I absolutely
love it! This hair style never would have been possible with the way that
my hair used to behave. I have to admit that at first I was nervous the
process would kill my hair but it looks and feels so soft and silky that
all of my friends and co-workers were impressed. Plus it has cut out that
hour that I used to spend everyday blow-drying and flat ironing. Getting
ready to go out is so simple now and I never have to stress if I get rained
on or if its really really humid. Thanks again and I'll see you in a couple
of months to touch up my highlights. Aloha, Emi (model in before &
after)
I
LOVE my straightening. It's wonderful!
I wish it wouldn't grow out and would just stay this way forever!!
Thanks so much for those products, too!

Hi Danne,
I'm really enjoying the straightening perm that you gave me a few weeks
ago.
All of my friends love it! I love it! This is an amazing product and process--and
with the hair products, taking care of my hair is really easy.
Before the perm, it took probably 45 to 60 minutes between the blow dryer
and flatiron to get my hair looking the way I like it.
Now, I can let my hair air dry and it is flatiron straight and softer
than ever without feeling heavy or oily. I've had my hair straightened
other ways and it either didn't last more than afew weeks or left my hair
rough and dry feeling.
These days my hair is so soft, it's hard to believe it was treated at
all. I'll admit it, actually my hair is shinier, softer and healthier
than it was BEFORE you straightened it!
My hair looks great thanks to you. I don't remember what's in this stuff,
but it's worth every penny.
Thanks again!!

Hi Danne
:-)
I went to work the next day I got that straight perm, and everybody noticed
my new hair style as soon they saw me.
My hair was tied (I tied it loosely, like you told me) and I didn't think
people would notice the difference so quickly. Everybody complimented
my hair and some told me I look much younger than before !!! ;-)
My hair used to look and feel dry and frizzy, even after using of the
hair iron, but now my hair looks silky and feels so soft and smooth, and
I just love to touch it. What a difference !!
I'm Japanese but I've never imagined having a beautiful hair like this
!!!
It's also very easy to take care...just wash and dry ! This perm is really
worth it.
Thank you so much !!
(I hope you could use some of these sentences for your new web site, and
these are my true feelings and I didn't exaggerate a bit !!)
Aloha,
Eriko :-)
Best Honolulu Hair Stylist
by sdunn5 at Citysearch
I have always had a hard time with Beauty Salons because my hair is not easy to tame. My hair is very thick and on good days somewhere between curly and frizzy. I searched online for something different then your usual haircut. I was blessed to find Danne Todt who owns Infusion Hair Design. My first time in he made me feel so at ease that I didn't look into the mirror till he was done. I was stunned. I had taken a friend along for moral support, and we both looked up at the same time and she blurted out "My God she looks so sexy!" Danne is an extraordinary Hair Stylist, he literally changed my life with this fabulous hair style. I am 54 and people who have seen this beautiful haircut can not believe it is me when hey see me. I love it and I love him for creating such a fabulous hairstyle. In the past year I have had Danne do Japanese straightening on my hair and the results were perfection. He stresses simplicity which is the best way for most women. I just never knew it would be so simple for my hair to look this fantastic. Thank you Danne you are my miracle worker. * Pros: Personalized Hair Cutting * Cons: None helpful (0) not helpful (0) comment share 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I am living in Honolulu and travel the world extensively, often in search of a new stylist wherever I happen to be. Meeting a new stylist and having them 'get it' is often an experiment - we girls know what a treasured part of our entourage a great stylist can be! I met Danne Todt through his website, one of the first hits of my search and a great online personality of chic & professional mixed with great style and design. If my hair will be treated with the same design & care as this great website, then I'm in! GOOD first impression! I requested an appointment during one of the busiest weekends of the year, knowing that on the mainland I often have to book with 4-6 weeks minimum notice! Danne responded that he couldn't fit me in during the up-coming weekend (only a few days away; and marathon + holiday traffic at that!) but to be sure that I had an option for my requested day he was so kind as to offer to refer me to another stylist. I assume that a recommendation like that, ie. he potentially loses a new client to this 'other' stylist, meant that MY needs were put first. GREAT second impression! In no need for urgency, I scheduled an appointment the following weekend, with Danne, and had the best experience. He listened (and REALLY listened) to my long list of likes and dislikes, my challenges with curly wanna-be blonde in this humid climate, and all of my product questions to cure the many bad-hair-day-ailments. As a result, I have great color (hair painting application) and a whole new product line to explore (he gave me a sample to try instead of pushing product which is so refreshing!). And, I am excited to trust him with my next hair-cut after brainstorming what would be best for ME and feeling confident that he can deliver. I now have a trusted hair-stylist, and hair-care advisor in Hawaii; thanks to Danne Todt! Excellent LASTING impressions! Check out his Bumble & Bumble product as well. * Pros: Hooked by a great website & I enjoyed a great experience!
