I was 9.5 weeks since my last relaxer and I have been looking for a good salon below 60th street in Manhattan. A few weeks ago while shopping at Ricky's on 23rd st, I noticed a salon right above it. It was kind of late and they where closed I rang the bell and the owner was nice enough to let me in. The salon was beautiful, very clean, hardwood floors, soft pastel walls and the owner was very nice she gave me a quick tour even tho she was just about to lock up. I also noticed that she was trained by John Atchison a renowned hair dresser in NYC (I think he even trained Marvin).
Impressed by her training and professionalism. I gave her a phone interveiw last week. She told me she adequately bases b/4 relaxing, doesn't overlap, prefers roller setting to conventional heat styling. She uses primarily mizani, affirm and motions relaxers. I was sold.
My appt was for 6pm. I got there on time. My first disappointment was that her assistant did my hair but my disappointment didnt last long she did a good job. I was adequately based and relaxed, no burns /images/graemlins/clap.gif. after neutlizing with shampoo and conditioner, I was deep conditioned with mizani moisturefuse for 20 minutes under a warm dryer.
I was in desperate need of trim (last trim was in Nov.) I has planned on taking of 3/4 to an inch off. she took off about an inch and a half. So now I just above shoulder length. I was an inch below shoulder b/4. But I have no complaints, my hair is so much even now with shape and movement.
After my major trim, she applied Khiels silk groom and setting lotion and roller set me. She is a bad ass roller setter. Ala Dominican tehnique. /images/graemlins/clap.gif When dry she wrapped me and applied a little biosilk serum. I was in the salon for 2.75 hours. I will definately be going back. This blows my Josephs experience out the window. I am so happy I took the chance. They do great hair, use excellent products, they listen, the ambiance is great and relaxing and they are time conscience./images/graemlins/clap.gif /images/graemlins/clap.gif /images/graemlins/clap.gif /images/graemlins/clap.gif /images/graemlins/clap.gif
