Thank you ladies for encouraging me to go because it was so worth every penny. My appointment was actually not with Reniece but with the junior stylist Shamira. I did not know who my stylist was going to be .
I have to say that no one has ever treated my hair the way that she has. She was even more gentle then I am with my hair. When I first arrived Shamira was waiting for me with a sweet smile
The salon was very quiet, with maybe 2 other clients. She is a young lady about 24 with gorgeous natural hair. I say a combination of 3c and 4a from what I could tell because she had it in a doughnut bun. She took me into her station/room and asked me about my hair and goals. She gently finger detangled my hair because I had just removed two strand twists. She did not pull, tug, or use any force . She undid any single strand knots as well as tangles that she could find. Afterwards we walked over the shampoo station. She gently and I mean gently washed my hair, combed out and applied a conditioner. During the washing process, I did not feel a thing. No nails scratching my scalp, finger tip pressure, tugging, or pulling. Just pure gentleness. I asked her some questions and she recommended Treseme as a good detangler for my hair type. After the conditioner, she put a shower cap on my hair and placed me under the dryer for about 15 minutes. Afterwards she brought me back to the wash station and washed my hair with cold water to seal the cuticles. It was at this time that I met her twin who had a bomb wig with lacefront/silk closure that Shamira told me she did. I felt more at ease and and excited to have her working on my hair because the wig was too cute.
We went back to her room and she proceeded to blow dry my hair. I almost fell asleep because it could not feel a thing as it was so relaxing. I did not wince, have to hold my ear down,or hear any hair snapping and popping off. I mean it was the best blow drying experience that I have ever had.
Afterwards she asked where I wanted my part and began to braid my hair. She added the kanekalon hair to the small braids. Again I did not feel a thing when she was braiding. Just pure gentleness. After braiding, she put the tracks in, cut and styled my hair.
I bought Model Model Ego Remi Hair 2 packs, 12inches.
For next time she recommend that I try Halleys curls salon relaxed hair with a silk closure.
For the weave care , wash every 2-3 weeks with a diluted shampoo and conditioner applied with a nozzle. Every 2-3 days apply Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Curl and Style milk and to seal it with my sulfur oil mix that I told her about.
For my edges , apply Design Essential edge control after using JBCO.
As for my experience, I have never experienced anyone apply such TLC to my hair. I am hooked and I have decided to commit for 1 year to see how my hair will turn out.
