San Francisco Salons for a Brazilian Blowout

A decade ago, frizzy-haired girls rejoiced at the news of a magical Japanese hair treatment that promised to turn their unruly tresses into straight, shiny locks. The catch? High prices and flat, lifeless hair. Enter the Brazilian Blowout, a new keratin treatment that costs a fraction of Japanese straightening and delivers wash-and-go hair for up to 3 months?but without compromising body or natural curls and waves. Celebs like Nicole Ritchie and Lindsay Lohan are already singing its praises. Here, we give you the best salons in San Francisco for your own transformation into a Brazilian beauty (or well-coiffed inmate, as the case may be).
