even if the salones 20, 30 miles + away, its really worth doing.
also you wont need the salon after a few months,you'll be bonding de bonding cleaning yourself.
salons only really for the cut in, and i suppose learning the bonding ropes, but as i mentioned above, you wont need youre hand held forever. really just few months.
then you prob wont need the salon.
