Pictures added. Just got back from the salon. I wanted to give myself a hair break, so I went and consulted with a stylist yesterday. She showed me a book with some braid styles. I picked one. She told me the price, and I thought it was reasonable. Now, I have the end result, and it's definitely not like the style in the book. Was I too optimistic to think she was that skilled or would put that much time into my hair? I wonder if the style (corn rows with extensions) was worth $100, too. I'll post pics later. Right now I'm going to Steak 'n Shake.
When I went for the consultation, she told me it would take an hour and a half. Well, it probably did between all the other heads she was doing. I got there at 10:00, waited for two hours for her to get started on me and left after 4:00. She gave 3 people perms, hair cuts, flatironing while I was there, and I was always the last to be worked on. This was my first salon braiding experince. Is that customary? Even the girl who came in after she started on my hair was sitting, waiting for like 30 minutes for her mom to pick her up after her hair was done.
Also, if you're natural do you need to get your hair flatironed before braiding? I wasn't too thrilled about that part.
