went to bali in sept/oct ..had a great time...did not report on my daughter's permanent hairstraightening....she had it done at the salon which is in the Bintang supermarket complex just across the back entrance to the supermarket...can't remember the salon name....my daughter has long hair - approx 15 cm past her shoulders & wanted it permanently straightened...I was really worried that it would be a disaster for a 15 yr old but she was insistant....the cost was 416000rp...approx $50...it took 4 hours and has turned out fantastic...so if anyone is considering this procedure, i would recommend the salon
