| - My hair of 20 years is a beast. One stylist actually turned me away because my natural hair intimidated her. I haven't had a haircut since I was a child and I've had anxiety with anyone touching my hair (bad experience from a relaxer at 13 that left me with a bald spot).
I needed a haircut because 1) it was getting too hard for me to manage 2) split ends that was hampering growth and 3) I was going to be on Katie Couric's show. I looked up natural curly salons in Vegas and found Hair Artisans. I called them first and asked how they cut natural hair because that would determine whether they knew what they were doing or not. When Danielle said they cut it dry I immediately felt good about my decision to go ahead and book an appointment.
I came in the following day with the beast unleashed, I felt apprehensive because I didn't want to be turned down again. Rather than feeling intimidated, everyone at the salon were amazed with my hair. To them it was gorgeous, to me it was still a beast. Danielle co-consulted with me while I waited for Arlene who was to cut my hair and discussed what needed to be done with my unshapely, unruly natural hair. She made me feel comfortable and dispelled my worries. To put my hair in perspective, when stretched it reached my waist. Apparently, I have different textures too so the back would be really tightly curly and thick while the front would have bigger curls. I couldn't wear my hair out because it looked like a bird's nest - no shape and it was too long and big.
Arlene arrived and immediately got to work. I was just so happy they didn't turn me down. She cut off the "see-through" ends and layered my hair to give it shape. She then shampooed, conditioned, and detangled my hair, which I felt so bad for because it's almost like punishment to have to detangle my hair. However, they seemed to enjoy it. Danielle and Arlene tag-teamed during styling showed me the process of shingling which further defined the shape and curls.
I was so happy to see the end result AND to finally be able to wear my hair out. I felt like a D-I-V-A afterward. They recommended products for me to put on my hair, and for a college student, the products were affordable. The whole process was only $40! I couldn't believe it. Of course, I tipped them generously. I'm so grateful to them. I enjoyed my experience and am extremely happy of the outcome. I've never received so many compliments and likes on Facebook after I posted the new hair style. Sooooo happy! Definitely will be going back to them. I have finally found a tamer for the beast.
