Getting irritated

[jazzyfunknastee]

I'm looking for someplace that sells Affirm or Mizani relaxers, cheap (less than $30, including shipping). Sheldeez has Affirm for $50 and no Mizani. Way too much for me. I decided to try Ebay. No go. Then I decided to try Elucence's relaxer but you need a license to buy it. *pulls out hair* Can't a sister get a lye perm for her edges?

 

[brittanynic16]

I understand. I have been trying to find the same thing.

 

[jazzyfunknastee]

Girl, I spent all night just looking and looking an came up with zero. I even tried looking for Dudley's.

You don't need a license to get Elucence. I've used them before and I'm sure not a hairdresser!

ReaLuv is right. I just ordered the Sensitive Scalp Relaxer over the phone a few days ago and I don't have a license. If you call in your order she'll ask you if you're gonna have a stylist put it in--just tell her yes and then she'll let you order it.

Jazzy since you are in nyc you can def get the mizani or dudley's lye from beauty supply stores. In bk I've seen dudley's more and here in the bronx I see Mizani more. Now I've seen Affirm no lye in the store but not lye.

 

[jazzyfunknastee]

CBG, where did you see the Mizani? Was it lye? I've seen both (Affirm and Mizani but it's the no-lye versions).

 

[cutebajangirl]

I've seen Mizani lye in the bronx at fordham beauty supply. Let me know if you want me to check it out for you to make sure

Hey, do you know Jasmin bss on Flatbush? I'm sure they have it behind the register. I'm sure I saw every product you mentioned last night when I was searching for Surge.

Jazzy, don't beauticians get discounts? I wonder if you can go through a beautician to get Affirm cheaper. (I would be surprised if they paid the same price we pay.)

You must be reading my mind cause I was wondering this same thing. It's coming up on touchup time for me, and I think I'm gonna have my friend help me do it at home. I want to use Mizani, since that's what I've always had and it does well, but it seems that unless you're in a salon, you can't get it.

I live in Brooklyn, but go to school Uptown, so if you know of any other BSS in the area that for sure have it, I'd love to know.

 

[jd_bdfly]

BTW, how do I get to Fordham BSS? What train stop is it at?

Just found a place that has Mizani lye

and also Dudleys. I saw Affirm too, but wasn't sure if it was lye or no lye b/c it was in a smaller tub and I didn't have the clerk take it out since I was mainly interested in the Mizani. The big tub of Mizani was about $35. The place is called One Stop Beauty Supply in Brooklyn. It's on Nostrand near Atlantic. If you're coming from Fulton, it's on the right side of the street before you hit Atlantic.

 

[jd_bdfly]

Oh, they also have smaller/mid-size tubs of the Mizani lye relaxer that are less $, but I only saw the super strength. I got regular/medium strength.

Do you have a Ace Beauty Systems in your area? If so, do you know anyone that is a student, barber, hairdresser, nail tech, etc? If so, they have every Affirm and Mizani product that you can imagine. I get the Fiberguard no-lye in a 9-pack with the accessories for $27.00. I don't use lye but I've seen the small jar for less than $10.00. Their prices are sometimes more than half of what you would see in a beauty supply store but the only difference is their products are all fresh since they are the distributors. I get all of my salon products from them. I want to get a license because I hate bothering the person that goes with me all the time when I want to get something from there. I believe their website is www.acebeautysystems.com if you want to see if there is one in your area. Hope this helps.

Thank you. I'm pretty sure I can take the B44 (that runs on New York Avenue) and just walk over the few blocks to Nostrand. I'm hoping that they have the medium strength Mizani because that's the last strength I used and it's did great on my hair.

 

[jd_bdfly]

They have the medium. That's what I got. There were at least 2 other tubs left after I got mine.
