Y'all! I have been an inactive member for about a year now... and I signed back up just so I can come in and tell y'all - I JUST GOT A CONSULTATION APPOINTMENT FOR OCTOBER 4th!!!!:toocool::drunk::yay::yahoo:

I'm soooooooooo excited! I don't know if anybody remembers me, but I have been DYING to get in with these ladies FOR.EV.ER!!!!:whyme:

Tis all... I'm glad to be back - not making posts was depressing... now I won't get any work done during the day and dinner will be late because I tend to become addicted to LHCF when I'm active... I hope the app will work on my phone now that I've renewed.

Keep us posted. I am curious about her rates for newbies and if she steers you towards a weave or not. I wonder about her non-weave services.

I wondered myself... but my consultation is for what they titled a "90-minute Natural Consult w/ Wet Assessment with Breon"
So, I was told, they would assess my hair, then wash it and assess it again... and we would go over questions and such... and they would blow dry me and I would not be styled, but have an opportunity to get in the appointment books. That kinda left me wondering... but sheesh, after three years of playing this game of getting IN, I'm just as eager as ever to see what happens once I get there.
I'll be giving details, Blow by blow...
She said if I am a candidate for weave, we could talk about that too... but I think I'm going to try and stay with my natural for as long as I can.

I'm interested as well to know her pricing...I truly hope it's not over $50 for a wash and blow dry. Even for the assessment part of it as well. I just have a feeling it will cost so much more.

Well... I got in last friday... when they opened up the books for new clients... My 90 minute consultation/assessment/wash/blowdry is $100 - it's with Reniece's sister, Breon...
Again, I'm not sure what the heck to expect... I'm sure it'll be more than worth it- and weave prices I believe are just under $300 - I think I remember someone saying that natural hair appts usually run about $80 on a regular? Hopefully someone who is already a client with them can come in and shed some light...
I'm soooooooooooo excited! The miracles they perform, I'm more than willing to spend that...especially after waiting for 3 years...

Consultations with a Wet Assessment:

During this type of consultation, try to plan your "Wash Day" for this day if you can. We want to see the state of your hair right before you'd normally do a wash. We'd like to help you with any challenges that you may be having with your hair. We will perform basic detangling, wash/condition/deep-conditioning for you.

We will examine your hair while it is dry first and then start on basic detangling. Then your hair will be wet down at the shampoo bowl and the stylist will proceed to do our cleansing and conditioning steps while examining your hair further. A deep treatment will also be done on your hair. Your hair will be finished in fully-detangled, big twists (or any other basic finishing) so that you may finish with your desired style at home. You may be able to request a blow-dry service if the time permits. We will go over tips for you to maintain and retain your natural hair. We will not be finishing with a flat-iron service. Please be sure to have your hair free of braids or cornrows so that you will get the best out of this consultation.

For Extremely Tangled/Matted Hair:
If your hair is extremely matted and tangled, we may not be able to work on your whole head during this appointment. We may opt to work on a section of your hair and get it fully detangled instead. In this case, you may need more consulting at a later time to get your hair back on track.
 
Congrats OP. The app doesn't work on your phone now so delete it. But what you can do is save the link to LHCF as a bookmark, and save the bookmark as an "app" to your homescreen. I'm kinda sad that you left LHCF because there is such a wealth of information here regarding growing your hair, but I hope that in the 3 years you were waiting, you learned healthy hair practices. If not, I would suggest you spend some of your free time learning as much as possible via Youtube, research on the forums here, and articles on sites like blackgirllonghair.

I think the value of going to her is for people who are hair challenged need someone to handle their hair for them and/or people who are looking for good weaves during their hair growth journey. Both are great reasons to go to her but I think you are still going to have to know how to care for your hair in between appointments and all that you can learn online. Reniece started out here anyway. Good luck. Come back and let us know about your experience. Her weaves and flat irons are the bomb!
 
:notworthy: Please do share with us your experience!!!

I got my email a few days ago that the book was open for new appointments.
I'm in TX and I wish I lived closer . .. or could commit to flying in and out of town for hair appointments... but the way my current pockets are set up .. lol

Yeah, I have been a lurker here since 2006... I think I finally joined in 2008. I did 2 years here and then signed up for one year in 2012. I came back in 2013 and it canceled me out at the end of 2014. I just lurked after that, because although not signed up, you can still lurk on the important part of the group for free. Lol...

In all the time I'd been on this HHJ, I learned a lot... but my life has become so hectic, and I'm trying to prepare myself for my wedding next June... I just need somebody who's gonna let me be on auto-pilot while I stress about everyday life... I can do as told, and hopefully retain length that way... I'm even thinking of weaving now that my daughter has gotten over her, "I'm not black, I'm white and I want straight hair" phase... she's now 7 and loves her curly 3c hair... and I feel like I can go back to my protective styling to grow it out, since I had to show her that I love my own natural in order for her to like hers... smh. Kids.

I definitely have hand in hair syndrome and I have been wearing mini twist going on 2 weeks and can't WAIT to take them out so I can manipulate the twistout! Lol... I really am happy to be back here- it sucks reading what you guys are saying and not being able to respond!

Congrats! I'm super broke now, but I hope to get one of her spring consultations because I'm losing hope with my natural hair
 
Where do u sign up? Her website has a form to sign up for emails or same day cancellations, are those the only two options?

Also, once you get on her mailing list, she sends out emails for days that she is opening up the books. Last week, Maybe monday, I saw that I had an email saying the books were opening up at 1:30 on the coming friday. Everybody has a chance to log in, they had about 3 days open, with multiple appointments for various things... http://reniececo.bigcartel.com/products
On that page there, you can see what was available... they're all sold out now, but you can still click each square and see the dates and the services and time slots that were available and what they entail... she opens them, people flood the innanets... they sell out... fast.
I've read people on the various media outlets saying they logged in @ 1:35 and couldn't get the slot they wanted, so when they went to choose another slot, it sold out that fast... You just click on something and hope you complete it before the next person does.
I originally wanted a different date... but I took what I could! I logged in at 1:30 and it told me the site wasn't open or even available yet... I immediately logged right back in and already, Sept 19th was sold out and so was the 26th!
