indeed, us asians are like light years ahead of folks when it comes down to the latest technology for hair. i started japanese/thermal straightening my hair awhile ago, and many of my non-asians friends never understood why an asian girl would need to get her hair straightened... but, some of us do. digital perms can be found in virtually any asian hair salon. if you're in queens, all of the korean salons peppered throughout northern blvd stretching from flushing down to long island has digital perms. as for the city, i'd go to k-town (32nd st) or head down to the east village japanese salons. you'll pay a lot more for it there. if you're in jerz, go to palisades park/fort lee.
