who is THE BOMB! First, my last stylist used to keep my in the damn salon for ATLEAST 3-4 hours on average just to get a wash and curl...well, ladies, my new best friend had me finished in 45 minutes and my hair is GORGEOUS! Best of all, she listened to everything I said. I told her that I'm paranoid of stylists and although I really need a trim, I'm scared of being butchered. I told her that I haven't blow dried or brushed my hair in a year, I only comb it once a week and that I think I have the finest hair on earth - and this is what she did. She gently washed my hair with Joico volumizing shampoo and conditioned it with the moisture conditioner. (I told her I had given myself a protein deep conditioner last night in preparation for my visit). Then, this is the part that made me want to cry tears of joy - she blow dried my hair and combed it with her fingers! Once I was almost completely dry, she used a paddle brush to smooth my hair out with one pass - then she flat ironed with a nice paul mitchell ceramic iron - THEN SHE TRIMMED! Every stylist that I've ever been too always cut my hair right after blow drying it when it was at it's bushiest and it was easy to mistake those bushy ends for damaged ends. Not this one, she flat ironed my hair in record time, then trimmed about a 1/4 of inch. My co-worker, who introduced me to this lovely young lady, was speechless! She said "your hair is longer than mine!?" I always wore my hair in an air dried bun, so I didn't even know how long my hair was. I knew it was approaching mid back, but never really saw it in it's straightened form. I was so excited to see what all my hard work and sacrifice actually looked like! I told her that I wanted to be wl by my wedding in May and she told me that was totally achievable if I keep at my very simple regimen.
Oh and ladies...she actually told me that since my hair is so fine, she'll TEXLAX my hair when it's time for my next relaxer...actually used those words! I proposed life long hair marriage to her!
Anyway, now that my fiance is home, I'm off to get him to take a pic so you guys can see my joy - I was so excited, I had to come post it first.

Girl, I am SO HAPPY for you! You'll notice that after relocating 6 years ago....I too finally found a stylist I CAN talk to about my hair goals and regimen! GOOD 4 U!
