Healthy Hair Quest..
Hey ladies. Let me tell you about my experience at the famous Lily's in Norcross.
The first time I visited a DS(Mary Jane's On Auburn in downtown Atlanta) was a very horrible experience. The girl, Angela, burned my head so bad, it was awful. That was a year and a half ago.
Some of my friends have visited Lily's over the last several weeks coming out looking fierce. They said they experienced ZERO burns. After much contemplation, I bit and decided to give it, yet, another shot. I invited Chosen to go with me since she had never been to a salon before!
We get there, after putting our name on the list the night before, and are seen right away. The girl we wanted, Vanessa, was not in, so I chose Elsie.
Now, Chosen, is seen first because she had a date for the afternoon and needed by out by 1p.
They call me and I sit at the sink and Elsie says, "Oh you're natural" I said, "Yes, well sorta, I havent' had a relaxer in a year so I still have relaxed ends" She said, "Well, is your hair the real kinky, kind?" I said, "Well, if you mean does it shrink up is real thick, thick, no. You can roll it." She just looks and says,"Okay, we wash and we see." I told her my daughter's hair does that. It has MAJOR shrinkage and is real kinky and dense. She said she couldn't do that texture of hair. I had to cancel her appointment and she was disappointed. Meanwhile, while she is washing my hair, she starts speaking in Spanish to some other ladies and I KNOW she's talking about me, but I could care less. She sits me down and starts parting and rolling. She was using that tiny rattail comb and I was praying that I didn't lose any hair
It didn't appear like she was having a hard time rolling it. It parted easily and she didn't have to plow through my hair. So I say, "How is it Elsie, is it hard?" She's like, "It hard but I'll see what I can do." She had my hair rolled in about 15 min. I sit under the dryer a good hour and then she said do another 10 mins.
Afterwards, I sit and watch her turn Chosen's hair into fabulous swingalicious hair!
I'm looking at the products and her technique and KNOW I can replicate this. I'm next. She unrolls my hair and my hair looks like it's been blow dried and curled. She combs it and starts sectioning for the blowout. She didn't appear to be struggling at all however, I asked her would she do my hair for me again and she says, "You won't get a texturizer?" I said, "Naw" and she makes a face. My hair was so swingy and bouncy I just love it! It's so gorgeous and I dont' think she'll do it again.
What's the deal? I thought the Dominican's did natural all textures. Oh well, I bet I'll be sneaking up there again for her to do it. I hate for that to be the last time though. Folk say it looks like I relaxed my hair...

Glad you had a good experience too bad she is scared of kinky hair.
I was little noid. My hair is so resistant though, I probably couldn't burn this stuff straight if i wanted to...
