I visited Charlotte for the first time last weekend and wanted to finally do the BC after transitioning for 7 months. I was greeted as soon as I entered the shop, I filled out a form with some of my information and sat in the waiting area. The shop is very clean, each room was painted in beautiful colors, very airy and excellent background music added to the ambience. I didn't like having to wait for an hour to get my hair done. I was told that the shop was supposed to be closed that day due to it being a holiday week (4th of July) so I attributed the wait to that reason.
Gracie styled my hair. She listened to my concerns about the BC and gave me advice on haircolor. She did an excellent job on cutting my hair. No razors were used for my BC just scissors and the shape she created with the cut was excellent. Gracie was patient with applying the color and made sure the color completely saturated my hair. I got a reddish/auburn toned demi-permanent.
Doing the BC at Naturaltress Salon was the best decision for me. A BC can be a very frightening experience. Once I received my BC with Gracie I felt confident I could style my hair and embrace my natural hair journey.
