Who goes to the Hair Salon EVERY WEEK?

[itismehmmkay]

Because I'm about to become that girl who does.

My justification is that it only costs $20 and it's going to make me way less obsessed with my hair.

So who else does?

 

[loolalooh]

I wish I could. I'd love to get my hair done and pampered on the weekly.

 

[locabouthair]

I get a wash and set every weeks because my rollersets kinda suck but i can do my own relaxers. I guess I'm kinda backwards.

I only pay $20 also but I want to limit how often I go just to save some money.

 

[Tinkerbell19]

I use to go every wk just to steal their techniques so now I just do my own hair.

 

[beans4reezy]

I used to go every week faithfully. But after reading Cathy Howse's Book and finding LCHF, I now wash and rollerset my hair myself.

Okay, you're one of the ones I saw admit to this

So, I thought of the whole saving money thing. But really these days, I'm so into the whole idea of delegating tasks out. I can do a krunk rollerset, but by the time I buy the products, wash it, condish it, set it, and sit under the dryer, I'm kinda pissed I feel like I'm trapped at home and it's more of a chore that I'll start to slack on. Also, I'll get all obsessed w/ perfecting my techniques, getting the right products, blahblahblaaaaah...

So, really, I'm be paying for peace of mind and consistency; I see it being so worth it.

Oh, and go ahead and let them do my relaxers too for an extra $20 (will do every 8weeks) and I go somewhere else for a hair trim for $20 (will do every 20weeks).


ETA:

Plus it gets me out of the house and makes me spend my money on me. Sometimes you have to purposely make yourself do that

Sometimes I wish I could go to a salon and let someone do my hair...but I already know how it would turn out.

Um yes... I looked horrible going to the salon every two weeks. No thanks...

 

[Lanea87]

Naw but if I got a bomb a$$ job I would probably treat myself every week the 1st 8 weeks of my stretch. I would bring my own products to see if it makes the process cheaper. LOL, but only if I wanted str8 hair...maybe not!

 

[Caramela]

I don't. Mostly because a roller set would take nearly 2 hours to dry. But where in the world are you going to get your hair done that only costs $20?

Girl, it's a Dominican Shop...and that's including tip. It really is easy money for them. And if I get there by 10:30am, I can be out by 12:30p. That's compared to the boring 4-6hrs that it would take me to do the process.

 

[skatergurljubulee]

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a stylist that's cheaper than $35 for a wash and set. Including the $5+ tip, it's not worth it.

 

[Jadore_tay]

I go every week when I'm in ny mostly in the summer. But they do not do my relaxers I have learned my lesson with that smh they can't touch my hair with relaxer with a 10 foot pole

 

[Cxshortie]

I got mine done today and told them I will be coming in every week now, ever since I have been pregnant, I have absolutely no desire to do my hair.

 

[vslady]

I go weekly during the first 10 weeks of my stretch. After that its "mami, you need a relaxer." So I wash and bun for the next 10 weeks (and then I go to the nail shop during the last half of my stretch so basically I'm always halfway done). It's only $20 bucks and is so much more relaxing than doing it myself.

 

[Moisture2608]

I use to go the salon every single week, like clock work. My hair would look good, but I knew it wasn't healthy; like one time the stylist did a DC for me and left me under the drier for like 10 minutes!!!! I didn't know a whole lot about hair, but I just KNEW that my hair need more than a 10 minute DC! Then, I found LHCF, and now I do my hair myself.

 

[Ediese]

If I could find someone that'd do a great job for $20, I would probably budget for it every two weeks.

That's exactly what i was going to say! 20 dollars is awesome! My stylist charges 30 dollars for a wash and style... my mom goes to her every 2 weeks.

 

[NYAmicas]

$20!? That's a bargain.
I dont go, it costs about $50 and up in my area.

 

[ElegantExotic]

I go every week, and it costs at least $65 (wash & set) a pop (not including $10 tip). I'm natural and don't like to wear it curly, so I get it straightened. When I get treatments, trims or demi-permanent color, the price greatly increases (Kerastase salon).

So who else does?

If u decide to do that...well WELCOME!!! i have been going weekly for 18 months...some weeks i skip if i am recently relaxed...but is just the best....I go on sundays and i am done in 2 hours...

When i do my hair at home is a whole day drama...and it doesnt look as good.lol so i would

I agree with you 100% i pay $25 is soooooooooooo worth it...Wash, deep condition ,rollerset and blow out my roots and off i go to start a beautiful Monday...

When i do my own hair...i cant do the roots my self and is not as nice....lets just be honest........when i am broke my mom says please go to the salon please....i dont want to hear the drama JUST RUN before they close lolololol

 

[DaPPeR]

NYC! Wash and sets are as low as $12. That's why when I saw the title of this thread I thought "Only in NYC would I be able to get my hair done every week"

 

[itismehmmkay]

Exactly! And, like you said, it doesn't look as good anyway. I mean, I can do a decent one, but DIY projects will just have to be my backup.

And this is really the case w/ all my beauty regimens. I know how to do a manicure, but I hate the whole nail polish remover process...and I always mess up the polish, so my nails would forever stay raggety if it was up to me.

Same w/ eyebrows...it's all random and trial and error. Same w/ facial hair removal, I just can't get it right and don't stay consistent



So, yeah...I just go ahead and pay talented folks to help me out. I'm so excited I can't wait to see the results of being well maintained for 18months


g78: Are you relaxed??


ETA: ^^^Okay, I just saw your siggy. Lovely hair, girly. You're my inspiration now
