Sunday I was in my bathroom trying to figure out what to do with my hair. I was tired of the puff, fro, twists.....I didn't feel like putting in flexi rods and I tried rollersetting the night before but it turned out a big pouffy mess.
I found a thread on here about MWM Unisex Salon so I decided to give them a call and surprisingly they were opening and talking walk-ins.
When I arrived (with a big fro)
they immediately sent me to the shampoo bowl. She used a shampoo called Quantum. She shampooed me twice. Then she conditioned my hair (I didn't get to see which one it was).
After she was done, she sat me at a station and then she put some type of Paul Mitchell sculpting liquid in my hair. She started to detangle it with a "wig" brush.
I had to show her how to do it in sections because she just started raking thru my hair from the top.
Then she stuck her hand in a drawer and squirt another clear liquid in her had without actually pulling out the bottle so I couldn't figure out what it was. To it, she added a Redken product and then distributed it over my head.
Then 3 of them started to put in my rollers using the orange rollers. They weren't too tight.
I sat under the dryer for about 30-45 minutes, which was quick considering I'm usually under there for an hour.
Afterwards, the main stylist took out my rollers and asked me if I wanted it flat ironed. I told her I did. While I was getting my hair done I couldn't stop staring at all of the beautiful heads of hair. And most of the clients were AA. I swear a couple of them were Nikos' cousins.
My hair was the shortest (I'm SL).
She tagged me with the flat iron a couple of times. She even slapped me in my boob on accident (don't ask me how).
She was nice (not considering an off-handed comment she made...that's another thread). After looking at everyone else's hair I was so excited to see mine.
When she was done she turned me to the mirror and..............I HATED IT!!!!! 
It was flat and limp. My hair has never felt so thin. It looked like I had JUST gotten a relaxer and not in a good way.I paid and left feeling like a true "bald-headed scally-wag"!
Would I go back? Yes!!! I realized after she started my hair that most of the girls were opting out of the flat-ironing and only requested for their hair to be brushed (with a big paddle brush). If I were relaxed, I would be amazed at how straight she got my roots, but I'm natural so I'm praying to the Lord that it will revert. Straight hair is not my thing and I really miss my curls and my fro! I will continue to go back to get it rollerset because I plan on bunning until I reach APL.
I''m at work but I will post the pics tonite when I get home. I ended up pin curling it last night which gave it more body and volume this morning.
I came home and trimmed my ends a little so it wouldn't look so thin and wispy.
Excuse the bad skin and drab expression (I was not feeling how thin it looked)
I can never get the back to fall as pretty as some of the heads I see on here
A close up of the part. She got it very straight.
It is so thin. This picture does it justice!
She even got my edges straight

I know someone who is 100% morrocan and has completly unmanageable hair, so I dont know what she is talking about
