I wanted to vent to my mom so bad but she loves her stylist so I only complained about the shampoo girl at the salon. My mom loves her stylist who we will call... James. James' salon is a 30 min drive but my mom goes to him when she finds time. She absolutely raves about him and has been trying to get me to see him for about a year now. I finally went today for 2 reasons: 1) she scheduled an 7am appointment so we wouldn't be in there all day 2) I wanted to make her happy that I at least "tried him."
But overall this was my worst salon experience.
I only went for a shampoo and style. While at the shampoo bowl he complimented my hair's condition and asked if I was going natural. I said no, I'm texlaxed. He said "ohhh" and continued to wash my hair. While washing my hair he gave me a shower! and even got shampoo and water on my face! Of course he apologized and dried my face but it was not a splash of water. it was like getting wiped out by a wave in the ocean.
When he finished he put conditioner in my hair and combed my hair starting at the roots... I cringed. Then he put the plastic cap on my head and put me under the dryer to deep condition. after 5 minutes I realized half of my hair wasn't even under in the plastic cap and it's not like I have a lot of hair... So I tucked my hair in the cap and watched him shampoo THREE OTHER WOMEN-not including my mom.
After DCing for 45 minutes the shampoo girl called me over and washed the DC out. She asked if I was natural too-- I honestly don't understand how texlaxed can be confused with being natural but anyways... When she finished she combed my hair. She was SO ROUGH with that comb. and ALSO combed my hair starting at my roots. My poor curls
then she mumbled that I need to sit under the dryer for 5 minutes... I had to turn on my own dryer which I thought was unprofessional.
When I finally sat in James chair he took me back to the shampoo bowl and shampooed my hair AGAIN! I asked what's wrong and he said there was still product in my hair, I'm guessing the shampoo girl did a bad job. And I am almost POSITIVE this man did not use conditioner after shampooing. he sent me back to his chair and started blow drying... no heat protectant, no nothing. I looked on his desk area to see if there was any I could ask him to use and there was nothing! One of his clients complimented how pretty and thick my hair is... James' response was, "yeah, she's kinda natural."
Although the blow dryer was way too hot, this man got my hair silky, smooth and straight. No wonder my mom likes him. But I will NEVER EVER step foot in that salon again. It took him 2 1/2 hours to finish me and my mom was done 1 1/2 after me... We were there from 7am until 11am!
My mom is going to yell at me in a bit, because after I post this I am putting leave-in conditioner in my hair. Then putting my hair up in a bun.
My poor hair has suffered too much today.

but glad you're hair survived!
Girl I'm sorry that you didn't liek the stylist. Most stylists just don't knw howt o handle our hair. They handle it soooo roughly. That's why a stylist will not style my hair...it's been over a year since such!
erplexed. i was sooooooo upset.
