I've been a client of Michael's since 1996. I am Asian and Black and have long, curly, thick hair. I go to him for flat irons. He's the best. He gets my hair bone straight. He's the only one who can do it. He also has his own product line which I believe attributes to the way my hair looks and feels after I visit him. I moved away from Vegas in 2006, but when I come back, I pay him a visit.
