My Dominican blowout

Hair Coach
So it's Mother's day weekend and I decided to treat myself to a salon visit. I went to Lilly's Hair Plus on Jimmy Carter BLVD. When I first went in you could see all the hair dryer smoke and the smell of smokin' hair. I looked around and saw nothing but cute little Spanish ladies doing their thang. OMG, I have never seen so many heads of beautiful hair in one place. Almost every lady in there had shoulder length hair or longer with the average length being close to brastrap. It was one lady there that had even waistlength hair and it was absoutely stunning. I was in awe. She may have been a LHCF sistah. I signed in and told Lilly I didn't have a preference so I was able to get my hair washed immediately.

I sat a the shampoo bowl and she washed my hair 3 times with Tresemme shampoo. It smelled so good. I may have to try that in the future. She proceeded to add some sort of Motions reconstructor conditioner on my hair and combed through. She let it sit for about a minute and rinsed out. When I sat in the chair she used Salerm 21 leave in on my hair. She began to rollerset my hair and parted it in fairly large sections. I think she may have used about 16 rollers.

I sat under the dryer for about 45 minutes. A little piece of my hair came out of one of the rollers and I felt it and it was so soft. I was amazed because I had never used the Salerm with heat. I always air dry.

She took out the rollers and my hair just fell to my shoulders I was amazed at how soft it was. I couldn't stop touching it. Wow, it was so soft! She blowdryed my hair in sections. Boy that heat, I don't think I could ever get used that heat. She had to use a curling iron on my hair to get the flip the flip to do right, what she really needed was a litle oil. Flips don't do well on my hair unless oil is used. My hair turned out really cute. I left the salon swinging. I heard one of the ladies waiting say that my style was pretty. I was feeling real good especially since my bill was $25.00 plus a $3 tip. Maria did my hair. she did a good job but not a great job. I was very pleased but next time I will try one of the recommended people. I think I may go back in a couple of weeks. Yes, yes, yes I am in love with the Dominican blowout.

What a nice treat for Mother's Day! Your hair looks wonderful!

I didn't know you guys had Dominican salons in Atlanta! I'll keep that in mind the next time I visit!

For those of us who don't have access to Dominican salons, is there a way to order Salerm?
 
DSD,

Your hair looks great. I've tried using Salerm 21 for roller setting. It works great. I'm so glad you were able to find a Dominican salon in your area.

Hi dontspeak!!! I also went to Lilly's Hair Plus Salon this past Saturday. I loved my visit there! The stylist that did my hair is named Nena. She is the same stylist that did Mocha1111's hair. She is REALLY good.

Just like you said, I noted that all the clients had long, beautiful, healthy full heads of hair. WOW!!!

I will definitely be going back to this salon. This visit was my 1st time at a Dominican salon and it was VERY busy but wonderful!!! I don't have any pics, sorry.
 
Thanks everyone!

JenJen, it was a wonderful gift. e have another one here somewhere on Peachtree Road. Next time you come make sure you step into one of those salons, you will love the results.

Jennifer, I had to try to capture the movement because it was incredible.

Megon, me and my hair are bery happy indeed!

Jaibee, she did not use setting lotion just the Salerm leave-in. My oh my I think everyone should have this product. The results are amazing.

Allandra, I have know about these since last year but I was just too chicken. I finally got up the nerve. I am so glad I went. Now my hubby wants me to go every week. I don't think so, that is too much heat for my taste!

He could keep his hands out of my hair or stop smelling it!

Hairlove, the heat is scary. I kept flinching every time she got too close to my scalp. The results were worth being uncomfortable for just a little while but it is something I would only do on occasion.

I love the fact that even though I am 8 weeks post relaxer and there is a lot of newgrowth the stylist didn't try to pressure me into a relaxer. But how could she, sdhe doesn't speak English!

Thank you! I will trying Nena next. Except I will go on a day when it is less busy. I don't mind waiting though. I only spent about 2 hours from start to finish on Friday. How long did you have to wait? If you went when they first opened, did they have a line of ladies waiting at the door? Which side does Nena do hair on. The one closest to the cash and products or the one on the other side of the wall. I did notice one thing that, I didn't see any liscense any where in the salon. I will pay closer attention to that next time. They do such a good job though.

I am glad you had a good experience too!!

I didn't even know there were Dominican salons in ATL. I'm definitely recommending this one to my sister.
 
Thanks everyone!

Lindy, isn't the Salerm da bomb! I will def. keep a supply of this on my shelf.

Miss Brown, Irresistable, I think anyone who desires straight hair sometimes should try this at least once in their life!
