@HelpMe12 so glad that you came back and updated us and that the appointment went great! I got in when they opened the books on Friday but I had to get the wet assessment instead of the weave consult I wanted. From hearing how it went now I'm happy I got the wet asset rent. Too excited!

Yes, I was thinking the same thing at first, that I would need 2 different consults. Congrats! Don't forget to come back and tell us all about it!
 
@lulu97 - Does the stylist that your sister uses have a salon? Do you know what area she is in? Her instagram pics look great. I'm looking for a good stylist.
 
Seems a little unfair to her clients that come from so far to not be able do more than consultation and no styling on the first visit and sometimes not even trim. I know her before and afters are nice, but I hope they can streamline and give a little more on their consultations in the future.

I think the consultations are necessary. They give the stylist a chance to get familiarized with the condition of the clients hair so they can see what they need to do to get their clients hair to optimal health. I think it shows a stylist that cares about your real hair and not just making the style look nice.
 
@julzinha I understand the purpose but I still think they could do an assessment and limited styling to make the hair presentable in one session. I know she does great work but also be respectful of others time and circumstances. JMHO.
I will never be able to see her and not sure I want to wait so long on the waiting list. At one time I was very interested in trying to make an appointment.
All here are happy with her services.
 
I went back today for my 2 week follow up, it was time for a trim... I'm sooooo tired, I'll come back tomorrow with pics of the trim...
 
Okay, so I went back yesterday for my 2 week follow up, she did another treatment and this time she did style me before I left... and she trimmed. I have never been able to conquer the 3 strand twist, so she did that for me... she used the ORS pudding and some deva curl spray (i meant to look at it)...
Anyways, the product dried over night and it was clear... I only took out one of the twists this morning and I'm wearing a beanie over the rest of it... It's pretty! More definition and I think I like 3 strand twists better...
I just have to master the technique.

I'm going to be starting the weave challenge, so I can't have any other pictures of my hair until after the end of the 6th months... But I can always keep you all who are interested updated on anything else if you'd like... I have no problem with sharing if you'd like to know anything that I am able to share...

@kritkit96- Your hair looks great.
Please confirm if they use additional hair when they cornrow for your weave, or are they just braiding your real hair.

Thanks in advance!!

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.

@cam2717 I'm not sure...my sister is out the country on a cruise at the moment. I do remember calling her one time while she was getting her hair done and she said she had to go because she was headed to the shampoo bowl so I strongly "think" she was at an actual salon. Just to be 100% sure you can email the stylist at [email protected]

She seems really nice on her instagram so I'm sure she wouldnt mind answering your questions. HTH:)
 
So I found a good hairdresser in London. Someone who has very health long natural hair recommended her. She is also just finished a Trichology course. She examined my hair de tangled and combed it out. Gently. Washed and deep conditioned with steam. The blow dried it, first on cool and then with a denman. She then lightly flat ironed and and trimmed my ends like I wanted. And did an updo.
I was very satisfied. She had the same curl pattern as I mostly and it's the first time since being natural that I had someone handle my hair without me being worried about damage. Any time I go to London, I'll be sure to plan a visit with her in.
Perhaps I should make this a separate post. She also does relaxers, braids and weaves.

Congrats! I'm glad you found someone. Yes , I hink you should make a new post so others in London can benefit from this information.
 
I'm so jealous.....

Where will I find someone in the Middle East?!?! :) These hair dressers are horrendous. I take care of my hair myself but I go in for braids and it's a battle. I wash, condition and blow dry before I go in to braid. Yet when I get there:

Battle 1 - your hair isn't silky enough and they want to blow dry it on highest heat without protection. NO!
Battle 2 - they want to dig a teeny tiny tail comb in my hair even though I brought along two wide toothed bone combs.
Battle 3 - they went to blow dry the hair after the braids are finished.

It's exhausting. I just want to sit down with someone who understands I care more about healthy hair than the outcome of a style.....:cry3::cry3:

All of that just for braids? OMG!! Someone who knew how to take care of our hair would make a killing out there.

I had my wet assessment consult with Shannon this afternoon and It was a Great experience. I really liked her, very personable, asked a lot of questions about my hair and regimen and gave suggestions on what products I should be using on my hair. I initially wanted to start getting sew ins at the salon but Shannon recommended me waiting until my hair is a bit longer. I told her I protective style with wigs often so I made a appointment for a having my hair treated and braided for the wigs.

Hair care wise, I really enjoyed it, I'm usually scared, lol, salons but it was really calm/comforting and she handled my hair so gently. After the shampoo and treatment, she blow dried my hair and put it into two neat cornrows. Funny thing, she asked what products I use and I mentioned Annabelle's Perfect Blends and she said she liked those products too. She actually used the leave in to blow dry my hair.
