idgi. can't you get these results if you get a decent weave while taking care of your hair underneath? I think her weaves are awesome but I just don't see the correlation between her doing the weave and the customer's hair growing. Doesn't that just mean that the customer took good care of their hair while they had the weave in? Unless they went back weekly for shampoo/conditioners etc.

I'm a newbie to weave, so maybe this answer is really obv to others.

Not necessarily (at the bolded). She has her methods on relaxing, texlaxing, trimming, etc. It works best when the customer is compliant of course. I know of this because she helped me grow my hair out to nearly BSL (until I moved). I would go back periodically for shampoos and treatments while having the weave in. In the past, before going to her I tried to grow my hair out with weaves but I was not successful because the other stylist did not care about the health of my hair underneath.

I know alot of people that have been able to grow long, healthy hair with weaves by going to other stylists to get their weaves installed, and taking care of it on their own. So, you're absolutely correct, she isn't necessarily doing anything that we can't do ourselves. If a person can find a stylist to install their weave correctly, and find the time and dedication to take care of their hair themselves (really take care of it), they'll have the same great results. I should know because I've experienced it myself (see siggie).

Also, I know others members on the board, and friends of mines that have also experienced the same success. You just have to be consistent with your regimen. It's great that she installs great weaves, and people are able to go back to her to get their real hair washed/dc etc, but that's not necessary if they care for it themselves. In these days, that's not something that everyone can afford. It's not that different from the way you take care of your real hair.

I've also seen people who NEED to get back in their stylist's chair instead of doing their hair on their own. So, for every 1 person that does their own hair, there's 10 others that need professional help. There are only a few DIY heads that I'm impressed with on here. :rolleyes: I don't have the time or the patience to do my own weave, micros, or anything else for that matter - so I'll pay somebody else.

Why do people always try to belittle a person/technique/service when there are fees/rates attached or because there may be people who can DIY? Just because it's something that you can do yourself, doesn't mean that a person is somehow in the wrong for charging for it in their business. Next thing you know, people are gonna belittle the job of their gyno and start doing their own pap smears just because you can buy the required tools online. Sorry I had to go there :ohwell:

Who belittled Reniece? No one:perplexed Reneice is not the end all be all to healthy hair weavologists. That was the primary reason why others suggested several alternatives. Truth be told a lot of board members can not afford airfare, the weave, and hotel accomdations to get their hair done by Reneice. No one is trying to rain on her parade and say screw her hustle. Her prices are the avg cost for a weave, at least where Im from ...but getting it done every other month? It can break your pockets if you dont have the funds like that to begin with. Her healthy hair makeovers are incredible, but for folks who cant affrod it I see nothing wrong with at least attempting or suggesting the DIY route or finding an alternative stylist in this thread.:yep:

I couldn't have said it better!!! Thank you!!

Ok, simone--Give up the goods! Are the cornrows in some kind of specific design that only a weaveologist can create, or is this something we can truly do at home?
Not trying to take away from reniece or anything, but for those of us who can't afford the trip or the weave (not that we would get an appointment even if we could), we need to be able to accomplish this style at home. I don't know about you but my hair did not start to make progress until I took responsibility for my own hair.


It's like her customers sign some kind of disclosure on her technique! BTW simone, don't leave out the details on the sew-in process.
Click to expand...

Ok. This is the sew-in process if you leave some of your hair out; like for example if you leave some of the front of your hair out. The hair is braided vertically in 10-12 braids (like a guy) that are about the width of a pencil. The hair is braided vertically as opposed to horizontally, because it creates a smoother appearance and the weave is less detectable. A little bit of the edges are left out so that your hair can blend in more with the weave. I remember she would use rubber bands to secure each of the braids and then secure the ends of your braids where your nape is with needle and thread. But, you don't necessarily have to use rubber bands. That's the best way that I can describe it. Honestly, anybody who can cornrow can do this - you don't need to be a weavelogist.

I have never gotten a relaxer or a wash & set from Reniece. I would just wash my hair at home and go to her to get the weave done to save time. I know that she uses DHD products. I bought the DHD shampoo and conditioner once, and the shampoo stripped my hair but the conditioner is good.

NO... you really didn't. that was unnecessary. who are you to say someone else NEEDS to see a stylist? did it occur to you that the majority of DIYers on here are happy with how their hair looks? do you realize how disrespectful that was to a vast majority of the ladies on this board?

i'm glad that you found what works for you-- seeing stylists. i, and the other DIYers have found what works for us. this wasn't the impress others with your hair board: this is a long hair care board. and for many of us, doing our own hair is what'll get us to butt length-- not scissor happy stylists.

I'm speaking on what I frequently see around here - not just this thread. To me, it seems that people always imply that things should be cheaper or free just because there are folks that can do/make the same for less or at no cost. It also reminds me of other threads concerning services, products, "other" hairboards, etc. JMHO.

Didn't mean to hijack but it's what I've noticed.

She has a variety of braiding patterns, not just vertical ones. As the hair gets longer, I noticed she used a combination of horizontal, vertical, as well as circular ones on my hair.

I've noticed it but didnt see it in this thread. There are some members in this thread who have never heard of her and are naturally going to ask what her prices are, where she is located etc. And for the few who are interested in being her client they are looking at:
a. a long wait list
b. not being able to scheduled or booked at all

so because of that reason people in this thread where suggesting the DIY route or finding weaveologists in their are that can schedule appointments. Plus someone also explained that it will not be $500 for every visit with Reneice which was a discrepancy in the beginning of this thread. But for folks who live nowhere near her they are looking at a lot more money than that anyway:look:. Regardless its going to be brought up. No one is going to clap and say "great job and great progress Reniece" throughout the entire thread. But none of what I saw was malicious intent or calling her crazy for charging what she charges. Either way she has clients out of the wazoo and potential clients lined up for thousands of miles so it doesnt matter of how it was supposed to come across :rofl:

The only people who neeed to honestly be slapped for chaging rdiculously high prices for no special resaon is Curve salon:look: Im mad a silkiner costs more than a full head weave.:ohwell:

It's been about two years since I've been to her. But, you're right about the different patterns she uses. I remember the last time I went to her she mentioned that she was going to have use a different pattern on me because my hair was getting longer, but I that's the last time that I went to her. That vertical pattern becomes more challenging the longer the hair gets.

When I got a full sew in done, the stylist said if the person has shoulder length or longer hair he does the behive or half and half.

Understood. :yep:
 
@ simone: Thanks for the response! One more question: How does she "close" the hair? I mean, most of her weaves have a part, where you can see some of the scalp. It looks so natural. How do you achieve that look?

The best way that I can describe it is section the hair out in the front to middle crown like a horseshoe or rectangle. I think it looks more realistic if your hair in the front is 3" or longer so that it can blend in better with the weave.
