It is really funny....lol. I went to Curve a few times. Each time my hair was okay. Not $450 okay but okay. Each time I wondered just when the veil would be lifted off or Miko and Titi's whole game. First, the silkener is just a relaxer left on for less time so the hair underprocesses. It's not some stuff they came up with except for the name. A texturizer, that if you are careful you can do for yourself at home. The ladies on this board are far better experts in this practice than Curve ever was.
Second, Curve Salon is about the sisters second or third venture into doing hair, the first go round they were alledgedly jacking people's hair up with breakage. They shut that down to open up the salon in the parlor floor of their home (which is probably why, the number on miko's site is the same as the salon) they lived up stairs I think.
Third, they weren't growing hair, they really didn't have a variety of styles or cuts. Almost everyone on their site had the same hair cut at different lengths. The way you style your hair to achieve the kinky curly look is what grows your hair. It is a protective style in a sense that you mostly air dry, so minimal heat for the best result and after its done you moisturize with buttercream and then you rarely touch it. We on this board know that will grow your hair no matter what style you have.
In any case, Miko did the hair, Titi was the salon manager and sold the products, they never got anyone else to style hair there so if Miko isn't doing it, no salon. It probably is easier to sell the products than anything else so I hope they have resovled any differences and sell the stuff people want. regardless of the way they did their salon, the Miss Jessie's products are creative and they do, do what they say they are going to if you have the right hair texture.
And I'll never knock a sistah who's able to get $36, $50 or $65 dollars for something inventive people can whip up for $7 at the local drug store.[/quote]
....This salon sounds like it use to be the hot spot!
