Marcia , who is a hairstylist and owner of Destiny Hair Salon, has been doing my hair sew in and…read morewig hair styles or 8 years on and off. But , I will no longer patronize her business. I have hair loss and baldness from her braiding my hair too tight. All the times I've gotten my hair sew in, she has an assistant braid my hair and Marcia sew in the hair weft. This time she did my braids. For starters, I had healthy hair, and a full hairline before she did my sew in. I have not worn a sew in hairstyle in 7 years. I decided to try a sew in for my birthday. I came with my hair already prepped. I don't want to be in the salon for hours. I noticed she braided my hair thin. Also, she gave me cornrows and not a braided down style. I had a bad feeling already. I knew something wasn't right. Then, when I got into her chair , she said something about my light yaki straight hair being too thick. She told me , she will only add 2 bundles , because I have a small head. Instead of asking me, she made that decision for me. I just let it go. After sewing the hair on my braids, she yanks my extensions and blow dried the hair. The hair is thick and good quality. It was no need to use a blow dryer. A flat iron will make the hair pin straight. She was rough sewing the weft on my hair. I figured she is heavy handed. My hair was covered with a net. I thought the net would protect my hair from damage. I left the salon, my hair looked nice. However, my scalp was hurting. I thought , maybe it's hurting because I've not had extensions in years. I was in pain for days. It took me a while to notice my hair on the right and left was slowly popping out of my scalp. I saw the tiny white bulbs too. I got nervous , but I just thought I was over reacting. I started to notice my hair getting thinner. I checked the right side of my head. My hair was separating from my scalp. Eventually, took the weave out , because I thought " I'll have no hair left if I keep this hair in longer ". I had the sew in for 6 1/2 weeks. To my astonishment , I have traction alopecia now ! I wanted to cry and scream. I have hair loss and a bald spot. I had healthy hair and edges, before Marcia did my sew in. I said to myself, Marcia needs to know what she did to me ! Why should I suffer in silence !? I texted Marcia and sent her pictures of my hair and scalp damaged. I told her I was hurt , and sad. I can't wear my hair. I have to wear wigs until ( hopefully) my hair grows back. I need to know what I can do to make it grow back. She finally called me. Marcia , was shocked and surprised by my accusations. She said " I've been doing hair over 40 years, I have carpel tunnel , it looks like a chemical burn , it must have been the raw hair"! All excuses , for one , the hair wasn't raw! It is expensive good quality hair. I've been getting my hair done since I was a kid. I never got traction alopecia because of a hairstylist. She acted like I'm making this up. She is insulting my intelligence! I know my hair. If my hair wasn't healthy , I would NOT get a sew in hairstyle. Additionally, if my hair was unhealthy, a true professional would tell me not to do a sew in. She doesn't want to hold herself accountable for my hair loss and damage. I've been her client for 8 years. I always tip well and respected her. You would think she would apologize to me and offer a refund , tell me what I need to do to heal my scalp and grow my hair back. NO, she is shift the blame to me. She told me she can't talk , she has a customer. She will call me back. Meanwhile, the customer is all in my business. Marcia never called me back. Marcia doesn't care! She already got my money. I've read articles, researched online, watch videos about what caused traction alopecia. I showed another hairstylist and my best friend my hair pictures. They immediately notice the damaged was from Marcia braiding my hair too tight. Marcia told me " it's not traction alopecia, my hair will grow back. She said it like it's not a big deal ! If she would have apologized, been empathetic, and offer a refund, maybe I wouldn't submit my experience. I'm glad I did, she needs to be called OUT! I want to CAUTION people. If you want a sew in service , you may end up with scalp damage and bald spots I don't feel good about showing my hair damage, but pictures speak louder than words. I have pictures to prove my case. I'm livid ! I hope my hair grows back. Marcia has "the devil may care" attitude; but GOD DOES NOT LIKE UGLY! I may not get an apology nor a refund. But a will person reap what they sow !

I have been going to Flo since 2012 and she is now like family. When I first started going to her I…read morewore a relaxer. After going for relaxer touch ups I started to experiment with wearing extensions and went form having a few tracks added to a half weave to a full head weave with a closure. I've also had Florence put braids in at times. In 2015 I decided to stop getting relaxers and started to transition to natural by continuing to wear weaves and then a custom wig that Flo made for me. The transition process was so smooth and easy, I didn't even really notice it. I maintained my hair at home by washing and conditioning it with the weave in and continued to go to Flo every 10-12 weeks for a new weave. In December 2017 Flo made me a custom wig and I wore that until May 2018 when I started to wear my natural hair out. Now that I am natural, I still go to Flo for trims and to make sure my hair continues to grow healthy and strong. If anyone is contemplating going natural, but doesn't want to do a big chop, I would definitely recommend transitioning while wearing protective styles and slowing cutting off the relaxed hair and hot new growth comes in. In addition to being a well rounded hair stylist, Florence is also an amazing wig maker. She made a wig for me that I love. My custom made wig does not even begin to compare to the wigs sold in the beauty supply stores I highly recommend Florence. She is warm and loving and her shop is nice and clean and everyone that works there is very nice and friendly.
