I got my hair straigtened at Guildford College for Higher Education in the UK in the student bit where they practice on you for £5 with excellent results. I don't know if this is the same thing as you are after - the treatment grows out eventually and competely removes the curl from your hair. Very liberating - it has saved me hours with the straigteners. I didn't get them to do the top t-section because I was concerned that my hair might be too flat after a bad experience having paid £100 at a 'proper' salon in Guildford and was very unhappy with the result. However, I nedednt have worried because the result was fab. It can't however be done on bleached hair though.
