Hi Psychee~
I am a former cosmetologist myself. This sounds kinda odd to me having you go thru all that. I would be suspicious of this. I dont know if she has been in trouble before doing hair out of her home or what. She may be doing this as a precaution so she doesnt lose her license. But still it doesnt really add up. I wish I knew what to tell ya. I know your hair needs a special touch with being naturaly wavey and all. But I just cant see why all this needs to be done. Maybe ask your friend about it? See if you can get any reassurance that way? Wish you the best. Sorry I can offer anymore to it.

Take care and be safe
Beth
