For those of you who have been able to go to Reniece's salon, may I ask if you have to wear a weave as part of the process to healthier hair and retention? I ask because when I look at her site, all I see is information about weaves, but nothing about just hair care and styling without a weave. Thank you.

Not at all. I mostly stick with weaves but I have also gotten my natural hair washed and styled there quite a few times. :yep:

Hi ladies. I just moved to North VA and I am dying to get an appointment with Reniece (although it looks like a I have few more years of waiting to go!) I always wanted to try a kinky-curly sew in, but it appears that most, if not all of Reniece's clients get straight/blow out textured hair. Do any of you lovely ladies that go to Reniece know if this is on purpose? I guess what I'm trying to ask is does Reniece prefer straight hair weaves because it's better for length retention? Can she do her method with kinky curly hair or is it not recommended? TIA!

I don't get a weave so I don't know. I got there to get my hair oil washed, treated and then braided. I wear wigs as a protective style.

Thank you! Yes, the weave came out every 2 months to retighten...wash, condition, etc.
I washed under the weave with an applicator tip bottle and as well... that was mostly every 3 weeks... I also oiled the scalp with an applicator tip bottle as well

@krikit96 so u had the same cornrow base for 6 months???
 
Did she straighten your hair before she trimmed? What type of treatment did she give you? Also, are you getting a weave? Is that why you have to keep the cornrows in for six weeks, to strengthen your hair? Yes, I have many questions! :)

It's ok. Lol. Yes she did...I'm not sure what type of treatment it was and she was asking me so many questions that I forgot to ask...Will def ask when I go back...Oh and I sat under the dryer while the treatment was in for about 15 mins.
I will not be getting a weave now but may invite future...She did say I could crotxhet, weave or wig it:)

What products will you use to wash and condition your hair? How often will you hydrate your hair? with what moisturizer?

She told me to dilute my shampoo and conditioner in an applicator bottle before use...I'll probably use aveda to wash and condition and I've been moisturizing once a day with lustrasilk spray or gel and sealing with castor oil. I'm also more diligent with the new surge spray ( I fell off )
 
OK, thanks for sharing.

Yes, girl, ask what she put in your hair and definitely let us know how it benefitted from the treatment. Also, did you just blow you out did she completely straighten your hair with a flat iron?

Thank you. I'm trying to recreate her results. My stylist sewed in netting, but I don't really like it because it makes getting to my scalp difficult.

I could see the netting making it difficult to get to your scalp. That's probably why Reniece doesn't use it since she's all about healthy hair care.
I've never been to her but it looks like she does a good job based off her YouTube channel.

I don't wear a weave. I have also seen clients come in and just get there hair washed, blow dried and styled. Her salon is about healthy hair practices. You are not required to wear a weave as part of the process. I believe that if hair growth is what you are looking for, then they will suggest protective hair styles (briaids, hair pulled up or back, wigs, weaves) but the choice is up to you. I believe you will retain growth but maybe not as much as those that wear wigs. I am seeing growth without wearing a wig but I would probably have more retention if it I wigged it. I have never been pressured by her staff to get a weave, it's left totally up to me!

Here is my update on my hair progress. The first picture was taken when my hair was cut by Shannon
on August 16, 2016; The second pic was taken 1.5 weeks ago (last hair appointment) after blow out, hair trim, and 8 months of tender loving care by Shannon at Reniece & Company; The 3rd pic was taken at the March 2017 hair appointment. I go 1x per month for hair treatments and blow out. Wear my hair in protective styles in between appointments (phony pony, loose up and back hair do's). Feel very blessed to have Shannon as my stylist. Reniece & co., is all about hair health!

Beautiful! !!!!
They have magic hands.
I WILL have an appointment next year (speaking it into existence, Law of Attraction).
 
My next appointment is coming up. My hair is retaining. The back is almost APL and the front is passed CL. Six more months until the end of the year - trying to get the back passed APL and the front to CBL.

I want to flat iron my hair but Shannon is probably going to say no. Which is probably better any way since it is getting hot. And it would just frizz back up.

My hair pattern is all over the place. My edges have 3c/4a curls and my middle is 4z- no curl pattern at all- just a tangled bush when loose. Between my edges and my middle, I have tiny spirals curls- (4c?) that are a 1/3 the size of my edges. So I have big curl edges, followed by tiny spirals until you get to the bushy center- weird and frustrating.

But my hair is loving this Argan oil I am using so I am considering ditching all my other products and just using the water and sealing in moisture with the Argan oil. I still have 2 boxes of products (over $400 worth) from last year that I haven't used and probably won't be using. Can't wait to see my hair during my appointment.
 
Appointment went well. Shannon confirmed with me my hair pattern. She was actually amazed how loose my edge curls were compared to the rest of my hair. I bought some of their oil wash so I can use it the next time I take my hair down. I will press my hair out on my anniversary and see the difference. She said once I get it to a state (length) that I feel comfortable, she is going to have me start wearing other natural hair styles so I can wear my hair out. Can't wait!!!

Oh I forgot- I got some of the Njoy Pomade. EXPENSIVE stuff however I am using it 3 times a week along with my Wild Grow. On the days I don't use those two, I use the Argan Oil. I have to moisturize/oil my hair daily because it dries out very fast. Shannon also dusted my ends but barely looked like anything was cut off so my length is definitely retaining.

Baby- I took my hair down and did a deep condition this week. My hair is just so healthy and THICK. When I blew it out, I was like WOW- my length is retaining. I did a wash and go this week- I definitely can do it if I stretch my hair first. My hair shrinks about 75- 80% when water hits it. Still thinking about styles once I finally take this wig off but I can not wait to take the wig off.
My hair has definitely has gotten healthier since going to Reniece and Co. If you are trying to get on, do your due diligence to get an appointment.
