@ Cara...
okay you are now about to enter CH's
weave experience
Of course I was late, and that's a
when you are going to see Kay because there are ALWAYS people sitting around with half their head done b/c she has soo many clients and LOVES to overbook. They are not that organized and that's bad for business but people don't seem to mind sitting there all day long. In any event, I called and let them know i'd be there around 11:30, didn't get there until 12:30. She started on me right away (thank Goodness and I was very surprised that it wasn't crowded...i don't think people realize she is back from maternity leave :
) In any event, she sat me down and braided the bottom portion of my hair but note that I told her I wanted to be able to wear my hair in a ponytail and she said fine - we'll get into that later. The braid was TIGHT but she added a little fake hair to re-enforce the braid which was fine by me. She said she had to do it a little tighter b/c my hair seems as if it'll come right out. She put in 4 tracks (the one on top is so high that I am not happy about it... I have to go back so that she can re-do it. I keep touching it and making sure the track doesn't show, combing the darn thing all day
). After that she washed it - so it would 'blend' with my own hair - she rollerset it. After sitting under the dryer until i caught a booty cramp (im not playing) she finally took the rollers out. Than she wrapped my hair in a doobie (sans pins) and put a heating cap on my head for about 20 minutes. I swear I caught a hemmorrhoid
. I think she was trying to kill time b/c she was putting cornrolls in another client's head and she wanted to be completely done with her before she started me. In any event, she flat ironed my hair and when she was done, i was looking like a dang MOVIE STAR!!! Seriously, she did that good a job and it all cost me $125.00 (baring in mind that I bought my own hair from Bronx Hair Supply and paid $100.00 for 5 oz. of 3-blend - i think that's what she said - which is perm, european and very little yaky). The only downside was that I didn't get out of there until about 6 and I should have been out of there no later than 4pm. I will try to get my bf to take a pic 2morrow (after i go to the salon) so it'll b fresh.
Back to the ponytail, I told her as she neared the front that I didn't want it so close to my hairline and she said no problem but she had to do the 3rd track a little close b/c she wants it all to fall right (which is understandable and correct). To make my pt story even shorter, I cannot gather it all back and put it in a pt b/c u will see the track unless I take about 10 minutes to get it right and I don't have that kind of time in the morning. DAMN, THIS IS A LONG POST
All in all, I am 95% satisfied with the job she did. But next time, I am going to buy a pair of shoes with the 125 that i'll be saving b/c my homie is gonna do it for me next time
