Wow, it looks really good! I bet they charge at least 100 bucks for that. I called them once and they told me a braidout was $125! I was like "is it permanent???"

LOL!!! :lachen:
 
Their prices ARE steep, but hey they are the entreprenuers, so they can charge anything they want if they have a customer base that will pay it. I think the twist out style looks VERY cute. However, I don't see the point in going there and paying what you are paying for that particular style unless it is for a special occasion. Depending on how long and thick your hair is, it is gonna take a minute to do doublestrand twists and then you have to sit under a dryer to dry. It is a lot of work and money just to unravel them. I am sooo glad I know how to do my own twists and have them look professionally done.
 
Also, on another note, Titi and Miko seem for the most part to be imparting good wisdom/taking care of their clients hair well. This woman that is in twist out pic is the same one in the coil out instructions. Her hair has really grown if you look at just the nape.
 
Finally! Something I can do. I couldn't master the coil out and the shingling was too much work. THIS, I can do lol.

:lachen:You're 100% right. At least they have directions on how to do this. There's no way I'm sheeling out that much $ for a twist our style!:eek:
 
I think that girl came back on day 2 to do her unravel. I've twisted my hair with curly pudding (my hair is only about 4 inches in length) it took two days to dry and that was with 45 mins of dryer time. I just couldn't sit anymore. I dont even want to know how long you have to sit to achieve that look in a salon.

I tried to call for an appointment in August 2005 and they told me I had to wait until November 2005 before they would see me. (i'm impulsive, so a 2 month wait killed my urge to go)

Maybe they charge so much because their customers are not weekly or bi-weekly regulars? I'm not defending them, just speculating
 
People are always able to capitalize on the unwilllingness of others to learn how to do their hair OR their lack of DESIRE to do their own hair. I have one older client (loc maintenance) who paid me 100+ bucks to color her hair once!!!

There's no way I'd pay anyone to apply color unless I was realllllllly bringing home the dough.

The other factor is trust and results. A friend of mine pays an arm and a foot for her twist extensions, but I gotta say the results are GREAT!! She trusts her stylists and I think the peace of mind she gets when she sits in the chair is worth it to her.

Some people also believe in paying folks "their worth". I don't know if a twistout is worth that much but then again I don't own a shop with overhead, etc. With all the "pudding" they load into the head, that's half the cost right there!!!

That could be possible since she works there (she's the receptionist) but it also could be possible that her hair was dry. I've been to Curve and my hair is like a sponge and I could sit underneath their dryers for an hour and still have roots that were damp (so I would need to sit underneath the dryer for an additional 15-30 minutes) but others can sit for the exact same amount of time and be done so it really depends.

I tried to call for an appointment in August 2005 and they told me I had to wait until November 2005 before they would see me. (i'm impulsive, so a 2 month wait killed my urge to go)

You're right, most of their clients are normally monthly customers. Miko mentioned one time that one of their clients came weekly but she was a rare case because that place is too expensive.
 
I wouldn't pay thoes prices for soemthing I could do myself

Has anyone use there products...if so how did you like them and what did you use?

I guess I must be the rarity because I use curly pudding and it does not take that long for my hair to dry, and I air dry.
 
Flat out! The prices are too high and many folx can't even maintain their styles once they exit the chairs!

Small up and coming business women...lets try pimpstresses. I'm all for people making a buck but those prices are high way robbery. Why the hell would anyone pay $300 to have a mild perm applied to their head?

As for these damn styles: twists, coils and shingling. They want you to slather a whole heap of that curly pudding on yo head. At $27 a jar....That means they'll be seeing your arse in a week:lachen:

I gotta confess I'm a huge fan of the Buttercreme and Pudding. I have purchased those products from them and that's about the only tricking they gone get outta me!

There are tons of folx on this board who have gone and have been less than impressed.....Or should I say underwhelmed about what $300 plus got them.

Seriously , I'm not trying to put them on blast...but people kill me trying to justify high prices by implying because they are of color they have to charge a lil extra.....hmmmp! The whole comment about them being entrepenuers(sp) was just that!

They are crazy. I've been doing twists and twist outs for so long on my hair and I don't even consider it anything more that a protective style anymore. And it looks just as good, dare I say better? than that. All this time I could have been makin bank? Dang.

And the reason it takes so long to dry is because the slather on a gallon of hair goop. There is no reason to use that much product for that style. It doesn't make it look any better or last any longer. Shea butter and water will get you the same results.

Its nice they gave instructions though. A whole lot easier than that 'shingling' mess they had on there with 900 steps :lol:

Customers come in I believe for major services, cuts, color, silkening, etc. rather than visiting just for styling. Most patrons of that salon are not every week to bi weekly visitors, but every few months. I believe that is why they provide such detail information on "at home" styling.

In the end, yes the prices are way to high:-(

That depends on hair type and texture.

As far as their prices, they charge that because they can, plain and simple. People are paying them, so obviously there is a market for it.
 
I think their prices are comparable to most high-end salons. Granted they are extremely high, but if you compare the prices to what some high-end salons charge, its about the same. I know when I was going through my color phase, I wanted a color specialist and the cost was very high and did not include the shampoo and style. Each service was separate...kind of like "a-la-carte" pricing. We can't be mad at them for charging what they charge because people are willing to pay it. Now, I'm pretty sure everyone here wants to be properly compensated on their jobs? What if your job told you that they thought that they were paying you too much? I get a little offended by this because we have a family-owned business, and everyday we get clients that complain about the prices when we are already priced well below the competition. I always tell them either you are going to pay here or just go somewhere else. You don't complain when you go to the grocery store and the prices are high, you just pay it. So, give the ladies a break and let them charge whatever they want and if you don't like it, just don't patronize them.
 
I appreciate that they put their instructions on their site. :up: In fact, with the prices they charge, I'm surprised that they post their instructions (since potential clients will duplicate at home).

I wear a twist out often, but lose the "set" because I run my hand through the curls. I didn't think to just fluff the roots and leave the curl pattern alone. And you don't need to use CP to do this style. I used my LeKair shea butter cream and it came out lovely.

Yeah, probably on 90% of the heads they do it would work. Definately on that girl they did in the example. So does that mean curly pudding and all that other stuff they're pushing works on everybody? Im sure they use it on everybody with no thought to hair type and texture.

And I dont care why they charge what they do. They still crazy. Maybe not as crazy as the people paying them but....
