Your hair looks great and I am happy that you are glad with results. I have spent $300 on getting my hair braided(including hair) before and I know people that spend way more than that on a great weave (even on a bad one).
And hardcore product junkies can easily spend that much over a few months! 
It sounds like she's loving her hair (and it looks good to me). So that's money well spent in my book.
Wait a minute.......
Quick Question....
Did you get "kidnapped" in a cab?????
Girl you know you wrong. Last time I bought that up the thread went *poof* so be careful.

Preach!
I don't know for sure, but I expect the touch up to cost the same as the first application. Even though a lot less product will be used, I think touch-ups are more work b/c the stylist has to take extra special care not to overlap. I will be pleasantly surprised if my touch-ups cost any less. Your hair looks great and I am happy that you are glad with results.

No, they did not comb in in. It was applied with gloved hands. I'd say it was in my head for about 10-12 minutes. Everyone's Silkener/texlax won't look the same because it only relaxes the natural shape of your hair (or the shape that your hair already has). For that reason, if your hair is straight in some areas due to heat damage, a Silkener or texlax would only make those parts even straighter. It will not give your hair texture. You could try a texturizer, but I wouldn't recommend it. Maybe you could do braid/twist outs in that area while you slowly cut the heat damage off and transition back to your natural texture.
... Believe it or not, I think I trust the job done by myself more than by professionals lol. I just have no faith in stylists unless it's for simple stuff but even so I'd prefer only my hands in my hair.....
Thanks for the info!! Actually I want to loosen the tighter curly parts if I can to match the looser hair which is all except the back.... I think I would leave the perm in for maybe 6 minutes max since I'm starting with a 3b albeit super frizzy but still no tighter than a 3b even in the most annoying spots. I do not want straight, I just want to loosen down to a true 3a or even 2b or c is that exists
I went natural for the first time in 2001. I cut my hair with only an inch of new growth. I permed once in 2003 & hated how thin & limp my hair was.... So I transitioned again and was natural from 2004 through December 2010. So, I was natural for a total of 8 years.
