I was desperate to get my hair done before New Years. Every natural hair salon I called in the area was booked. Luckily a stylist gave me the name of this salon and told me I may have luck here. She was right. I was able to set up an appointment immediately for the day I wanted. This salon is appointment only and only one customer in the shop at a time due to Covid.
I was a little skeptical at first about booking with this salon because it is new (just opened in June) and has no reviews. However, all my fears were eased once I met the owner and she started working on my hair. She is so knowledgeable about natural hair and that was refreshing because she talked me through every step of my session. She asked me questions about how I typically maintain my hair, what styles I wear, how frequently I wash my hair. She gave me suggestions about how to better manage my hair and products to use in my hair. She was so incredibly gentle with my hair through the wash and blow dry process. I usually start to cringe during the detangling process because previous hair stylists have been overly rough with my type 4c hair. However she knew exactly how to work with my hair and ensure a smooth session.
Once my hair was fully blown out, she informed me that I had a lot of split ends that needed to be trimmed. She gave me a mirror and let me see exactly what she was taking off. We ended up cutting about 1-2 inches, which was more than what I had initially anticipated but I am all about healthy hair over length. She told me to continue coming in for more frequent trims (every 8 weeks or so) and I will get my hair to waist length in no time.
After the trim, she did two strand twists. They look great and I can't wait to take them out in a few more weeks and rock my twist out. I will definitely coming back to this salon for my trims and whenever I decide to blow out my hair again. read more
