hey yall, i know there have been some posts about salons recently and i figured i'd join in. i am thinking about going to a salon to get a BC. i have been natural and bunning/bagging like whoa and while I have experienced some nice growth, i can't take no more of these ragged ends! i'm going to do an intense hot oil/deep condition/conditioning later tonite and if that doesn't work, then i'm gonna need to find a stylist. problem is, i just relocated. what tips do you guys suggest in finding a good salon? what are things i should look for from a stylist? i'm still pretty inept at this whole hair thing, so how can i tell if they really know what they're doing, especially with natural hair? i know asking people works but i don't go out much except to the office so i haven't really seen anybody with a hairstyle that just knocks me over. any advice from somebody who does have good salon experiences would be helpful. also, please feel free to share good salon experiences!!! i love hearing about them and i feel like i don't hear them nearly enough. oh, and if anyone can suggest somebody or a salon in the dc area, that would be sweet as well. |

Hi canopy, I would suggest looking for a salon that caters to natural hair to get your hair cut. I personally had bad experiences in the salon before my current stylist and what I did was schedule a consultation for her to take a look at my hair and for me to tell her about my past experiences and problems. I also got to see her do other peoples hair and how she handled them. HTH

Go to the Bloopers thread. There's a message I posted there about what to look for when selecting a salon. Feel free to post what you look for in a good salon. ------------- Hair type: who knows? Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06 MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!! Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH! |

Hey Canopy.. you should try Bubbles Salon in the Fashion Center at Pentagon City(Arlington, VA).. it's metro accessible on the yellow/blue lines, if you didn't feel like driving. I've been there several times, and I was absolutely amazed at the results. I think you should definitely give it a try. I had so many hair problems before I went there, and after I recieved a great style, with tons of advice from the stylists. The only thing I could discredit is the expensive pricing. Although a little high, my god it is truely worth it. A good wash, cut, and blowdry will run about 30 bucks.. but I must say again, it's worth it. I recommend Glorietta if you get a chance to make an appointment! |
