What a hot mess!! And I bet it was $100+ too.
I think a lot of these new "natural hair" salons have no idea how to actually do natural hair. Yeah, DevaChan can cut curly hair (a friend loved her cut) but for the most part these new "natural hair" salons are not practicing healthy hair techniques.
For example, I went to Hair Rules (recommended by a natural friend) and the stylist (who was also natural) started to comb my hair (which was filled with shampoo) from the roots! I told her that I do not comb my hair that way as it causes tangles. She continued to comb my hair from the roots, and I stopped her again until she did it the way I wanted.
After my conditioner was rinsed out, I noticed a couple of hair balls and the ends of my hair, which she asked if I wanted her to cut out. Of course this was from the rough handling of my hair during the shampoo.
When we got to the blow out, she blew out my hair with a comb attachment from the roots! Again, I told her that my hair cannot be blown out like that. She blew it more gently and did start to blow dry from the bottom upward.
My hair came out nice but it was pretty much a sales pitch for the Hair Rules products (from shampoo through the flat iron) and seemingly a sales pitch to get me to come in for a trim/cut every three months. I never got a trim or cut at Hair Rules (too expensive) and I doubt that I will ever try another natural hair salon other than maybe a braiding place like the one that used me as a hair model last year.
I'd try out Khamit Kinks since they have been doing natural hair for many years (if the prices were lower or if it was free - hair modeling), but any of the new natural salons, no. I give up. I'm pretty much DIY.
(not sure if this was already posted... sorry if it was)
). I mean, yes plenty WOC are on there but i justdidnt get the sense that it was for type 4 hair. No shade if you are on it, I just didnt get the impression that it was for me.
