I Just Got My Appointment With Reniece & Co!!! Three Years Later!!!!

I signed up for the cancellation list a few days ago and got an email about an hour ago saying there's a cancellation tomorrow and to reply if I'm free! I just put mini twists in my hair, so I searched her website to see if I could get a consultation with them in. And it looks like i can! So I emailed back YES 15mins after I received the email. I hope I didn't take too long! I hope they email me back!!
 
Shannon is so sweet, awesome, and nice!!! We hugged when I left! I had a 30min consult where she went over everything and explained what they do. She felt my hair (mini twists) and concluded that I was at a good starting point.

Yall. I can get my mini twists done by her. I almost cried when she said she do mini twists. I've never had anyone do them for me. I am beyond excited.

I get started with my first appt next month, where she'll do the treatment and she's gonna do mini twists :cry3: and give me a regimen to follow :cry3:

I haven't been to a hairdresser since 11th grade, over 10yrs ago. This is so amazing. I'm actually going to get my hair done :cry3: by someone who actually cares about the hair :cry3:
 
Awwwwww, I'm so happy to see so many people loving Reniece & Co and getting results and retaining! I'm taking my daughter (9) to get her hair done in the salon for the 1st time... for back to school. My hair is still retaining, I have a few split ends... nothing that Breon can't help me fix. I love how everybody is flourishing! Keep it up ladies!

Shannon also did my consult and my first few appointments. I've since switched over to Shamira(her twin sister) but they are both AMAZING and will truly love your hair and have it looking its best! :grin:
 
@qchelle -
Make sure to get starter pictures next month so you can see how your hair started and where it ends up after a year. Again, I am so excited for you that you got in AND we have the same hair dresser. You will love Shannon.

Yesterday was my length check - we straightened my hair and gave it a trim so I lost about an inch of length but this is the healthiest my hair has even been.

Here is where we started ONE year ago -

My goal for next December is APL (line 2) so this is my "starting point". I got 15 months to get there.

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.

Beautiful! You and your hair!! I wish I wasn't severely tenderheaded. I would love to get my hair trimmed and straightened by them. Oh well, I will live through everyone else.

@movingforward13 Love it!!! Great progress...Are u 4b? What was your regimen? Weaves?

I am very sure my hair is mostly 4c except my edges, especially in the back. Very loose curl pattern back there like a 3c/4a- stark contrast to the rest of my hair.
My hair is curly in that photo about but that was after it was twisted then washed. I took this photo right after taking out the twists so it isn’t showing my true texture. I like that photo because it just shows how healthy my hair has gotten and the shape it grew into. I love that photo and would wear my hair like that daily.

I know you found the info already but I really have to add (or emphasize) - I use Njoy products on my hair just about everyday. I don’t know much about her but Reniece and Co recommended their oil and pomade and I ended up liking it. So they are in my regiment daily, besides warm water and leave in conditioner.
I keep it very simple- not going crazy with buying products because I already wasted so much money.
I also wear cornrows/wigs. I am confident to wear my hair out now due to the progress but because my overall goal has been achieving a healthy length, for the next 12 months, I will be back in wigs. Once I get to line 2-3, I will wear my hair as is and just bun. My overall goal is a healthy waist length- I guess I will achieve that in 5 years (if ever).

They are really gentle. Their botanical oil wash slides through your hair and they take care of your hair. They are not rough at all. I would just schedule a session to see.

Thank you everyone
