What the service does
A virgin relaxer at MJM Salon & Co. is a first-time, full-head application for hair that has never been chemically straightened. The service processes the entire hair shaft from roots to ends, transforming natural texture into a smoother and more manageable state. Every appointment begins with an assessment of hair history and condition to determine suitability and desired outcome.
This service is scheduled for 105 MINUTES and priced at $160. Results vary depending on hair density, porosity, natural curl pattern, and any previous color or chemical history — factors your stylist reviews during consultation. Because the process treats roots through ends, those hair characteristics influence timing, manageability, and styling choices after the service.
During the relaxer appointment
Appointments begin with a consultation to confirm hair history, desired straightness, and any prior chemical services. The stylist plans an application strategy and works methodically from root toward ends to ensure even treatment across the full head. During the visit the stylist adjusts application coverage and processing decisions to balance the smoothing outcome with maintaining the hair's condition.
Plan for a 105 MINUTES appointment so you can schedule around commute times on Rivers Avenue or I-526. MJM Salon & Co. offers evening and weekend availability for families, shift workers, and commuters traveling to or from the airport or Joint Base Charleston. This flexibility helps clients combine salon visits with work shifts or event plans at the North Charleston Coliseum.
Aftercare, longevity, and follow-up
After a virgin relaxer, hair requires targeted maintenance to stay manageable in North Charleston's humid subtropical climate. Your stylist will discuss care strategies tailored to your hair type and may recommend trims to remove weather-worn ends. Because the treatment chemically alters the shaft, follow-up evaluations determine when further services are appropriate based on hair condition.
Touch-up options and corrective treatments are available at MJM Salon & Co.; our service menu includes standard and sensitive scalp relaxers, texturizers, and perm or body wave services to address different styling goals. Discuss long-term styling plans during your visit so the stylist can sequence services safely and create a maintenance schedule that fits your lifestyle.
