great thread.
A salon FULL of stylists that actually TAKE HEED to your hair's
individual needs. Also, someone who pays attention (and ultimately) caters to what you are coming to them for. Whether it be more length retention, a certain cut or whatever.
I have yet to find that, but I've also happily been a diy girl for the past year (except for one dominican blow out).
One time (a few years ago), I told a stylist that I wanted my hair to be parted a certain way....and she told me, "No....you look better with your hair away from your face."
?? something as simple as a side part was too much for her, I guess. lol
For me this is the overall problem with most salons.
When I get back to NY this fall though, I do intend to treat myself to a high quality salon visit. I want to visit Dickey.
But overall, I'm looking for
1. individualized hair help - specific to
me
2. someone who knows how to deal with black hair in it's
natural state,
3. and a stylist that
listens to what I'm trying to get out of my salon experience.
I think this may have turned into a rant. lol
