I dont know how I manage to cause trouble they way I do. Most people decide to leave their stylist, but my stylist threatened to not do my hair anymore. I was stunned....
So yesterday, I decided that it was due time for a hardcore protein treatment. That morning I gathered up my Aphogee and my MNT detangler, with plans on going to the Dominican salon after work. (I should have brought my MNT Deep Conditioner too, but I was in a hurry). So I go in, show her the products that I had and sat down at the sink. The shampoo girl came over and asked me about the Aphogee. I explained to her to shampoo first, then put in the Aphogee, put me under the dryer to let it get hard. You would have thought I had told her put Pinesol in my hair by the way she was looking at me, but she does it anyway after shampooing me for a loong time. She also put shampoo in my hair while it was dry, and when I asked her why, she said that would help taked some of the oil out of my hair (after the MTG, I guess). So she put the Aphogee in and I am feeling pretty good at this point because she seems to know what she is doing. She puts me under the dryer and times it for about 50 mins. Cool.
So then, I guess she goes on break and another shampoo lady is asked to attend to me. Let me mention that at this point in the day, it was really dead in the salon. I was the only customer, and I got the feeling that they were trying to leave early. So this new lady is coming over to me every 10 mins.--Are you ready yet, honey? Is it done yet?--she was getting on my nerves, but I kept a smile and nice demeanor, and kept telling her that it had to get hard. So I guess they get bored waiting on little old me, and the owner comes over to me and tells me that I have been under the dryer for too long and that no deep conditioner should take more than 15 minutes. So then I look her in her eye, toss my magazine aside, flip the dryer up and stalk over to the sink. I said, "Just wash it out." Then they were like, "No, honey. You want to sit under the dryer. Dont leave." So I got back under the dryer and started to read my mag again to let my hair dry. All the while they are talking about me in Spanish. I just smile and read.
When I get done, the owner points to me and yells, "Your hair is going to break, I told you. Watch, your hair is going to break." So I am thinking, is this lady threatening me? I find out that she tells the shampoo lady in Spanish to shampoo me again. When I see her do this, I tell her no, to use conditioner. So this made the owner even more angry. I dont think that the lady washed all of the Aphogee out of my hair. She rollersets it after I spray in the detangler, and I am happy to update that she had to use the largest size rollers (red) on some parts of my hair. Its growing!
So as she is blowing it out (the owner, she was the only licensed one in the shop), she is complaining and fussing at me. She said that my hair was hard. A piece of my hair broke off, she was like that has never happened before. She was like, "I told you this would happen" She even did a happy little dance around me. She told me that I had beautiful hair and she was not going to see me mess it up with that stuff. She told me not to bring that stuff (Aphogee) back into her shop, or else she will not do my hair, because she does not want to see all my hair fall out. She said sitting with that Aphogee in was too much heat (can you imagine getting a lecture from someone who does blowouts?*smh*
).
So it looks like I am going to have to do Aphogee the day before I go in there, so that she is none the wiser. When I left, I just gave her a hug and told her that my hair was going to be ok. She got so worked up, she was close to tears. Poor thing.

Well, it seems as though she may have had a point. I'd be more concerned about my hair breaking off than her attitude.
if I try to ask them to put conditioner mixed with EVOO and honey in my hair first, wash it out, then put in Keraphix and Humectant, then rinse that out and put in NTM conditioner...they'll be like 
no mama, you need to shampoo first....shoot, shampoo dries my hair out!
