I have been on assignment in Memphis since February and have struggled with trying to find someone to care for my hair which is in its natural state (no chemicals/relaxer, etc). I eventually decided to try Regis Salons and Super Cuts, assuming I'd at least find someone that would do a good job washing and blow drying my hair. However, even with a simple wash and blow dry, using the wrong product can ruin hair causing it to be dry, brittle, or weighed down from the use of too much product.
Earlier this week, after a Google search, I found the website for Natural Opulence Salon. After reading the services offered (which stems from a natural approach using organic products that are free of agents that cause harm and damage to the skin/scalp/hair), I decided to schedule an appointment for the stimulate & rejuvenate detox shampoo and steam conditioning treatment. After reading what was included with this treatment I thought this was the perfect option for me as my goal for this appointment was not focused on getting my hair styled but more on a conditioning treatment. Let me just add, almost every salon will offer what they call 'deep conditioner.' I've paid for that service on numerous occasion only to leave feeling like nothing was accomplished.
My appointment here with Rochelle was exactly what I had hoped for and more! I loved the organic peppermint detox shampoo and all products used! Rochelle took her time while washing (which I always appreciate) and walked me through each step as she applied various products (telling me what she was using and why). Immediately after my shampoo, she applied conditioner and I sat under the dryer for the steam conditioning treatment.
Rochelle blow dried my hair after the wash/conditioning treatment and I could immediately feel the difference. The weight of my hair was light and it felt clean. My scalp felt nourished and I loved the feel of my hair, not to mention the glossy shine. I finally feel like I've found a place that specializes in caring for natural hair.
Rochelle is excellent at what she does and really cares about not just pleasing her clients but ensuring that the services she offers leads toward a healthier hair outcome. I felt like she cared as much about my hair as I do... and I care a great deal about my hair and its overall health.
We laughed about my shrinkage as she patiently combed through and blow dried my hair. My hair is long and I appreciated Rochelle's level of patience. What I also like is her schedule for appointments. When you're there, the time is reserved for you only so there's never a feeling of being rushed. The customer service is at an all time high.
I highly recommend Rochelle to anyone seeking someone who's passionate about the work that they do, specializes in taking care of natural hair, values time, and seeks to understand the hair needs and goals of each client.
