Before and After

 
Noel Delisle:   Bionic Certified Expert
Free Consultation

 
I am a trained certified expert on the Japanese Bionic hair straightening procedure. Here is a testimony from one of my clients, June 2003:           

     All my life, I had unmanageable hair. Some people have curly hair – and some people have straight hair, but I had a frizzy, kinky mess. My hair texture was the kind where it wouldn’t allow me to wear it curly because it would frizz out, and it would take over an hour and a half to blow dry and flat iron it.  I was recommended the Bionic hair straightening from L Salon because they knew I had lost hope on ever having pretty hair. The procedure took 5 hours to apply – but I don’t regret one minute in the chair. The time just flew by because I knew that by the end, I would have beautiful hair! This treatment really did change my life.   My hair texture has altered dramatically. Instead of the curly, frizzy mess like it was before, now I have a nice and healthy wave. I can flat iron it in 20 minutes!   My hair looks beautiful and I have never been happier!  Thank you Noel and L Salon and Color Group.
 

Straight Talk

What are Ions:
Ions are atoms that have gained or lost an electron and bear a charge of energy. Positive ions have lost an electron and are considered unhealthy. They are found in dust, smoke and other toxic substances. Negative ions have gained an electron and greatly assist in a body's mood, energy level and overall health.
How Does It Work:
Bio Ionic Professional Hair Care System utilizes technologically advanced Natural Ion Complex to deliver natural negative ions to the hair. Natural negative ion energy is powerful enough to break water molecule clusters into micro-fine particles (atomization) and penetrate the hair shaft. That means moisture balance is restored and the hair cuticle is sealed.
Results:
The results achieved with Bio Ionic Professional Hair Care System products are immediate. The hair is renewed, repaired and revitalized for a softer, smoother, shinier finish.

           Bio Ionic Hair Straightening  FAQ's

Q-Why is Bio Ionic referred to as #1 Japanese straightening system?
A-The Bio Ion-Retexturizing System, with Natural Ion Therapy, was originally developed in Japan to meet the needs of Japanese, who have very straight coarse, wiry hair that needs softening, smoothing and better manageability. This system permanently retexturizes hair making silky, sleek and easy to manage.

Q-Why is it called Natural Ion Therapy?
A- For centuries, natural negative ions have been used in Japan to restore, rejuvenate and revitalize the mind and body. Negative ion energy is powerful enough to break water molecule clusters into micro-fine particles that can penetrate the hair shaft.  During the Bio Ionic straightening process, the patented Natural Ion Complex infuses moisture into the hair to keep it hydrated and shiny.  

Q-Why is the Bio Ionic Ion-Retexturizing System different from other straightness on the market?
A-The Bio Ion-Retexturizing System, with its patented natural ion technology, rejuvenates each hair shaft, restoring moisture to the hair and sealing the cuticle to create healthy –looking, shiny hair.  Unlike other non-ion straightness –even other “Japanese” or thermal straightens-the Bio Ion-Retexturizing System will not dry out or damage the hair during the Retexturizing process. There is no burning or itching, and the odor is minimal.

Q- How long do the results last?
A-    The Bio Ionic Ion-Retexturizing System is a permanent process. Your Retexturizing hair will stay straight permanently.

Q- I’ve heard that sometimes hair reverts back to its previous shape.  Is that true?
A-We, have seen very little “revision” with the Bio Ionic Ion-Retexturizing System. However, in rare cases the product may not have been applied properly, or the hair may be extremely resistant or may be affected by certain medications. A consultation with your stylist is advised.

Q-Does the Bio Ionic Ion-Retexturizing System require touch-ups?
A-You probably will want to touch –up the regrowth after about 4-6 months, when it has grown almost three inches. Most women find that weight of the recognized hair keeps the new growth very manageable for months.

Q-What if my hair has previously had Sodium Hydroxide type strengtheners?
A-it depends on what type of relaxer was used and how recently. We do not recommend using the Bio Ionic Ion-Retexturizing System on top of hair previously relaxed with products containing any of these ingredients: Sodium Hydroxide, Lithium Hydroxide, Guanidine Carbohydrate or Calcium Oxide / Calcium Hydroxide. However, the Bio Ionic Ion-Retexturizing System can be used safely on the “re-growth” area, once there is approximately three inches of new growth (about 4-6 months from previous straightening), with great results.

Q-How long do I have to wait if I have recently had another type of Thioglycolate (“Thio”) or Japanese a\straightening process that hasn’t lasted very long?
A-If the hair was previously straightened with a thermal reconditioning or Thioglycolate (“Thio”) type product, you should wait about two weeks. After careful consultation with your stylist on the pros and cons of Bio Ionic Ion-Retexturizing System , your stylist can perform the Retexturizing service with excellent results.
 

Q-Can I use the Bio Ionic Ion-Retexturizing System if my hair has been colored?
A-Yes.  The Bio Ionic Ion-Retexturizing System can be used on color-treated hair, including single-processed, double-processed and highlighting.

Q-Can I color my hair after using the Bio Ionic Ion-Retexturizing System?
A-Yes, as long as you wait ten days after the service, you may color your hair without any ill effects. In fact, using Bio Ionic styling tools will help prolong the color.

Q-How long does the process take?
A-You should allow 2 to 3 hours or more for the Bio Ionic Ion Texturizing System process, depending on the thickness of your hair.

Q-How long does my hair have to be?
A-We recommend that the hair is at least three inches for the best results.

Q-Can I wash my hair the next day?
A-No. After the Bio Ionic Ion-Retexturizing process, you must wait 72 hours (three full days) before washing or wetting your hair.

Q-What if I want to go swimming- can I use a bathing cap?
A-No, swimming for three full days after the process, even with a bathing cap, which will cause the hair to be scrunched up.

Q-What about pulling my hair back after the process?
A-you must wait 72 hours (three full days) before using bands, metal or plastic clips, pins or other hair ornaments. That goes for putting your hair behind your ears, too.

Q-Will I need to apply a spray-on conditioner or shine product after the process?
A-No nothing goes on the hair for 72 hours.

Q-Will I still need to blow-dry my hair after the process?
A-It will depend on your hairstyle. Some hair, because of its style and texture, looks great just with a shampoo.  However, in most cases blow- drying-preferably with the Bio Ionic Ion-Smoothing Brushes- is recommended to achieve the desired style.

Q-What if I don’t want it completely straight but prefer a soft wave?
A-Your stylist can achieve a soft wave during the Ion-Retexturizing service and still remove almost all the frizz simply by adjusting the timing.  Or, if you want to go “stick” straight and then change your mind, hair can be permed or body waved after using the Bio Ionic Ion-Retexturizing System as long as you wait ten days.

Q-What makes the Bio Ionic Ion-Conditioning Dryer and Ion-Smoothing Brushes different from other ion tools on the market?
A-The Bio Ionic styling tools are infused with patented Natural Ion Complex developed in Japan. The Ion Smoothing Brushes Actually soothe your hair ravaged by their environment, reducing breakage, split ends, frizzieness and static electricity. When the brushes are used with the Bio Ionic Ion-Conditioning Dryer, drying time can be reduced up to a 50%. 

Q-What about using other ionic equipment-is that safe?
A-Other ionic equipment and products are manufactured with the patented Natural Ion Complex, so they won’t give you the same high-quality results.

Q-What types of maintenance products should be used after the Bio Ionic Ion-Retexturizing process?
A-Nothing should be put on the hair for three full days. After that, we recommend the use of Bio Ionic Micro Hydration Therapy Hair Care products.  Your certified Bio Ionic stylist will recommend the products for your hair before you leave the salon.
