Do you work out? I want to get mine straightened but I work out and don't know if it'll be worth it. And I don't have a salon. ThanksThe last time I went it was to the Ponce de Leon location.

Woaaaah this lady is in rockville? ! I ain't no that! Lol Lemme look her up right quick! *searches threads on reneice*
Her work was always overrated IMO Not hating on another brown lady out here making her coins but I think she just made a name for herself as a healthy hair stylist first on forums and blogs. My hairstylists' sew in looks just like hers and she has clientele with similar hair progress.
With that being said I think I'd laugh myself into a coma about a $100 flatiron.
Can you PM me your stylist info please.
I am going to pick my battles and find a reasonable replacement. I work out too much and my lifestyle is not conducive to paying such an amount for a style that will only last 2 weeks tops.
I still find the Black Hair Industry exploitive.
Thats fine. Become uber selective and only deal with clientele that don't mind paying whatever price you charge. I am not knocking her business model, but the price increase could have been handled more graciously.Maybe she's trying to weed out her clientale. She may want a new crop of clients or something!
I was thinking this too. Personally, sometimes I don't mind being someplace where I know some people are priced out.Maybe she's trying to weed out her clientale. She may want a new crop of clients or something!
It's kind of funny how that with so many people being natural the prices of flat ironing services have gotten outrageous. I remember in high school I would get my hair flat ironed for $45 and that was it. I can see a relaxer or something being $100 cause it's permanent. But a flat iron on natural hair that's going to get sweated out, may swell up on a humid day as soon as you leave the salon, and just doesn't last long I don't see it.
A pm please?I'm in Georgia
Not complaining and have no idea who this Reniece lady is nor am I interested in going to her or finding out who she is. I was just stating my experiences, yes there are relaxed styles that only last days but I was never one of those people who went to salons in between retouches anyway. And yeah relaxed hair is easier to straighten when compared to natural hair but I still think $100 is a bit much.Flat ironing relaxed hair is much easier than doing natural hair. It should cost more. Plenty of relaxed styles only last a few days. The cost isn't built on length of time otherwise braids/weave would cost more.
Business models change. Especially with the cost of everything going up. Found an old cell phone bill where I used to pay $49.99 for the top plan on AT&T. Today's price is what a car payment used to be.
At end of the day there are plenty on here who have hundreds of dollars of products they will never use. I just don't understand the constant complaints on here over stylists but to see this especially when R shop has a long time standard of improving clients hair. The money you're not spending on products should cover the stylist. Or just go once a month. There is a waiting list full of people wanting to get in.
I was more surprised than upset. I go regularly for sew-ins and it just seemed out of the blue when I was told as I was being rung up at the register.

I'm hoping I read that wrong. Do you mean the trim made it $75 total? Or that they were charging $75 for a trim only.I didn't ask about a blowout and flat iron at the time but did get a blow out recently at the same salon, with a junior stylist, for $65. The trim was an additional $75.

Girl was that the beauty school or a Dominican salon? I can't imagine a regular beauty shop being that cheap in the last 2-3 decades lol.Its been a while since I've been in college, but I remember being able to get a wash, deep condition, and press for a smooth $15. This was 2003. I don't wear my hair straight now and wouldn't with these prices. Mercy!
