Tampa ladies who have gone to Areli... i need help

[Enchante]

I have an appointment with Areli on Friday morning...I'm excited, but nervous at the same time. My last relaxer was Nov 2007, and I BC'd in February. This is my first experience getting it straightened since going natural, and I have never had a blow out before.
What can I expect?? Any advice would help, but a LHCF sister who has visited Areli would be wonderful.
TIA

To the OP- do you mean Arelis on North Lois Ave? (If So)They are really friendly in there-My spanish is non-existant but she made me feel right at home. On the day I went, I met another lady, Arelis has been caring for her hair for some 5years or so-it was really healthy-looking and thick-she says she goes every 2 weeks or so. I mainly go for moisturising treatments as my hair is so very dry. She gets hair super straight and shiny but that dryer is hot as hell! Good luck.

Yes, Arelis on N Lois is what I meant. Thanks for the info, and I'll be sure to prepare myself mentally for the heat.

I totally agree with this post. Arelis is wonderful and so is her assistant. If you can handle the heat from the blow dryer, I think you will enjoy your experience. The only reason that I stopped going to her was because I got lazy and didn't feel like driving from Clwtr. to Tampa. However, my hair prospered while going to her. Good luck and keep us posted.
