Re: My Official Salerm/NTM Leave In Comparison
I have 4b relaxed hair that is just past my shoulders in a modified layer cut. Delia did an awesome job -- I had to tell her to cut more off because she was being too cautious! I don't know about color because never used, but I have some grey (which I love!) and she suggested color but I politely declined. I did NOT get a blowout because too much heat, but she did do a lovely doobie (rollerset and wrap). By the way, I was very impressed with her touchup because:
1. she only did new growth, really! I watch her go right up to the relaxed portion and stop. Incredible.
2. I told her I only wanted about 85-90% straight and at one point she stopped about half way though the smoothing to wash out and neutralize the parts she done earlier (so it wouldn't get too straight) and then put me back in the chair and completed the rest of my hair! Unbelievable.
Those 2 things endeared her to my heart. In addition, 95% of the ladies in there were black amercians with healthy looking hair. She speaks and understands english very well -- has a cute accent.
Her prices are comparable to other salons in the area:
$45 for touchup
$25 for wash rollerset/doobie/blowout
$80 for a fresh relaxer
She's only been at that location since october 2003 and I hope she stays put!
