The Treatment
Straight, swinging, and glossed, with no chemistry and no commitment.
Start with a consultationA silk press straightens natural hair with heat and skill alone: no relaxer, no coating, nothing that outstays the style. Washed, deep conditioned, blow dried, and pressed in fine sections with the flat iron passed once where once is enough, the result is straight hair with swing, shine, and body, and a curl pattern that returns untouched at the next wash.
The craft is in the heat: enough to press, never enough to punish, adjusted section by section to your strand. It is the transformation without the commitment, and one guest's press outlasting three weeks of Illinois humidity is quoted on the homepage.

What clients say about it
Susu was beyond amazing for my first time getting a silk press in Champaign! I told her about my budget and she worked with me and consulted with me the entire appointment about how I can better my hair care and health! I highly recommend her especially as a black girl who was worried about trusting a new stylist with my curls!
I had the most wonderful experience at The Egyptian Queen Salon & Spa. The salon itself is amazing, and the services are fantastic. I got a silk press and this is the best my hair has ever looked! Susu is such a warm and wonderful person, I highly recommend The Egyptian Queen Salon & Spa !
Susu was very welcoming and understanding. She did an amazing job with my silk press and I definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get their hair done!
I’m so happy I found Susu for my daughter’s mixed, curly hair! My daughter wanted a silk press done and Susu was able to fit her in on kind of short notice. She washed her hair very thoroughly with professional products, did an Egyptian (Brazilian) Blowout, flat ironed after using a Keratin spray and trimmed her ends. …
Questions
About silk press
Anything not answered here gets answered on your consultation call.
Will a silk press damage my curl pattern?
The service is built so it does not. Heat is matched to your strand, passes are kept to the minimum, and the press starts from deep-conditioned hair. Your pattern returns at the next wash.
How long does a silk press last?
Until moisture wins or wash day arrives. With night wrapping and dry weather luck, two to three weeks is common; one guest's press outlasted three weeks of Illinois humidity.
How is a silk press different from a relaxer?
A relaxer changes the curl chemically and permanently; a silk press changes it with heat and gives it back at the next wash. One is a commitment, the other is an occasion.
How should I keep it looking fresh?
Wrap it at night, keep it dry, and resist re-pressing it yourself. The routine she sends you home with is short and it works.
What does a silk press cost?
Length and density set the time involved, so pricing is quoted on your consultation call, with the $40 fee credited to the service.
