:::RENIECE GROWTH WITH WEAVE:::

[lisana]

I love being able to do anything to my hair that a stylist can do. I appreciate and respect the one who is making a business by doing hair, it's great. However, as far as hair is concerned, I am a DIY chick and always will be. So there is no issue for me, I'm enjoying this thread. Let's understand something: the DIY chick and the salon chick are two separate groups. The DIY who teaches herself how to do a super stylist's weave technique wasn't going to step up in a salon anyway. Those who like salons will continue to go and those, like me, who do it ourselves will continue to learn all we can and up our skills. There's not conflict in a thread like this if folks understand this, it's all good...so please keep sharing those "secrets" ladies!

I'm thinking about treating myself to a visit with her after Christmas. I will drive to Maryland (not far from NYC) and give a ride to anyone else from this area who wants to go. I will start a thread in January.

hey im in NJ and can get to bmore in 2.5 hrs lol so i am ready when you are

 

[Ediese]

Hell don't pm...POST IT!

I'm in Houston to. I wanna know!

LOL

Not sure if it's up to par with Reniece, but you can check out my fotki to see my weave installs. If there are any that you like, the stylist info is in the About me section on my page.

DISCLAIMER: they're good weavologists, but not into healthy hair care. Maintaining your hair under the weave is up to you.

OMG that woman on her website...her progress is amazing!! I'm speechless!

 

[Solitude]

Those results are amazing! I'm very close and if I had the money, I'd be tempted!!

But, I don't get it...what does she do that is different from a regular sew-in weave? And what is special about her regular hair care??

 

[Mystic]

Reniece is da bomb!

**FYI**

I just received an email/notice that Breon's appointment book is currently open.

@ simone: Thanks for the response! One more question: How does she "close" the hair? I mean, most of her weaves have a part, where you can see some of the scalp. It looks so natural. How do you achieve that look?

I believe she uses a "weave closure." I'm not all that certain what it is either, but PM AJACKS she's the one that told me about hers and in her picts it looks so natural/real... AJACK just did a progress thread since she started using Reniece; her hair is looks unbelieveable now...

I'm wondering, too. I'm getting a weave for the first time in a couple of weeks (b/c I can never get in with Reneice) and I don't want anything to go wrong. What's health install vs and unhealthy install.

The weavologist I'm going to is a rec. by my stylist at Aveda. Her name is Jovna at Bang Hair Salon (downtown DC)--just in case any of you know of her work...

I think the difference with Breon and Reniece (speaking from experience)
Breon and Reniece wont let you do anything damaging to your hair especially in their care. They dont braid as tight as most stylist, the braid pattern that that use doesnt put tension on the hair. They teach you about what is good for your hair because most stylist let you just forget you got hair underneath that weave. I dont think its just technique with them its technique, knowledge and they really do care about your hair.

Now, if only I could find someone like that here where I live.

can you post the thread of AJACK?

 

[Prettypsych]

Sure! I hope she doesn't mind, but I'm extremely happy about her progress!!!

THANKS
THIS SURE IS MIND BLOWING...

 

[Patricia]

amazing results. so healthy

 

[LadyPaniolo]

When I got a full sew in done, the stylist said if the person has shoulder length or longer hair he does the behive or half and half.

What's this half and half pattern? I'm in the process of putting in a sew-in and I'm wondering if this pattern could work for me, since I'm BSL. Please and Thank You.

 

[wontonfm]

I've been wearing weaves for about a year and my hair doesn't look anything like that. I need to get on that program!

 

[Silver]

Ok I didn't want to do this just in case I am wrong. But isn't that girl whose hair everyone is drooling over an old LHCF member? I read all the posts and nobody mentioned it. I remember her in a 2007 thread (I read old threads when I get bored) saying she was a student and wanted to sell her hair care products and stop the pjism. She also had a link to her Reneice results page. I'm really not sure though so correct me if I'm wrong.

[VirGoViXxEn]

i got an email today form Reneince.com that Breon will be accepting clients for feb-march. The sign up opens tonite at 9 pm. I wish i could sign up but im in NYC.

 

[Nonie]

Awesome growth and testament to weaves! :notworthy

BTW, did you all notice how much younger the second model looks with long hair than she did with short? I guess George Michael, the long hair dude, was right when he said long hair makes a woman look young.

 

[MissNina]

Hmmmm, if I ever decide to get weaved up for a minute, guess I know where I'm traveling to. Everyone's hair she touches looks amazing.

I happen to be one of Reniece's long term client and I can tell you that Reniece really cares about your hair whether you are wearing a weave or not. I have been going to her since April of 2005 and I haven't gone to anyone else. I have reached my goals many times and cut my hair and reached by goals. I have been with Reniece through two deployments to Iraq and one to Afghanistan. She will send me care packages with hair stuff just to make sure my hair doesn't get damaged because of the hard water that i have to use for my hair. To be honest if I didn't start going to her I dont know if I will feel confident cutting my hair when I feel like it knowing that it will all grow back.

Her techinque in installing the weaves are flawless. Most people can't tell it isn't my hair unless I tell them. She cares for my hair while the weave is in and after take down. I am one of those that needs to go to a stylist because everytime I touch my hair something horrible always happens.....LOL. Right now I am wearing my hair out since I wore my weave for 4 months in Iraq and it needs to rest.

When we started my hair growth

Right before I had to go back to Iraq
http://public.fotki.com/Reniece20/portfolio/lastupdate/hair-growth-w-weaves/growth010.html

My hair I since been cut and grown back again.

Here is a link to the most recent cut I did in April of last year

And my hair has since grown to the length it was at in April of 08 and past that now. I will try to up load pictures and link them soon.

So is she worth it? YES!! and I will keep going to her because nobody and I mean NOBODY has cared for my hair the way she has.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to PM me.

Thanks
Sade

I had an appt with Breon last week and as someone else mentioned she's very gentle w your hair and makes sure you like the end result (of the weave).

I really booked out of curiosity to see what in the world she and Reniece were doing to make the hair so perfect. They really do use the same prods as most ladies here do. I didn't see anything special that anyone couldn't obtain.

I suppose it's the protective style that helps the hair so much and the care of the client between visits. I am 2 1/2mos post and she got my new growth lookin like it was freshly relaxed, which supported my decision to transition.

I'll continue to go until she gets my hair in the condition I want it in then I'll return to being a DIY'er.

 

[AtlantaJJ]

I bet you would have to book an appointment 9 months in advance if she is taking any appointments at all... That is amazing!!!

Thanks OP for causing all this unfulfilled Reniece hair lust!!

 

[MissBCurly]

I love seeing this thread I have my next appt with Breon on the 11th =)

 

[jamaicalovely]

Sade, I never knew you were a LHCF member. Your hair is one of my favs on Reneice's website. Your hair is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! You are my inspiration.

 

[GrowinLonger]

Enjoy!
