I am very happy to post this review. I have nothing but good things to say about Niza at r Salon. After reading the reviews I gave him a try. I too, have natural, kinky African American hair. I found Niza to be updated in his approach to caring for Natural hair. I appreciate the time he took to walk me thru the process of a smoothing system. He educated me on what to expect and put my expectations at a reality level. As we move forward we evolve and I can truly say that my journey of being natural has evolved to another level. Thank you to Niza who put a Keratin Complex smoothing in my hair today. I am happy to put this next step of managing my natural hair in Niza's hands at r Salon!
