OMG!! I'm not really the type of person to get my hair done... for numerous reasons but mainly because I've never come across anyone that could do anything with my texture. Add to that, 60-70% of my hair fell out a little over a year ago due to stress and eczema... then I crossed paths with a Hair Specialist/Magician that was already a pinnacle in my network and Highly Suggested by my partner, whom was battling lupus, chemotherapy treatments and hair loss. The stylist walked her through the process of regrowing her own hair while keeping her 'hair styles' looking fresh and hot.
All this to say, I visited the shop less than a year ago and successfully regrew my own hair long enough to do more than just a washNgo. I recently got two styles in less than 3.5 weeks -- not because the first didn't or couldn't last but because one of the other 'reasons' aforementioned is I need to be able to wash, feel and directly massage my own hair and scalp... which means -- I LOVED my new style and was anxious to get back in the chair!! My stylist *****Mattie Bynum***** is AWEsome!! An added bonus is that the other stylists are AMAZING with what I've seen them doing while getting mine done... and they DO NOT mind helping each other!!!!!
Ex: While my stylist was finishing up her last client that overlapped my appointment, the other stylist had finished hers. After cleaning up her station, she beckoned me to her chair and began braiding in preparation of my stylist completing the crotchet process. She could've left and went home... but instead of leaving me waiting and prolonging the time in-shop for Mattie -- I'm almost in tears at how seamless it was done. RealTalk - my experiences combined have made me feel like I had visited The BEST Starbucks and/or Chick-fil-a in town on the day they received a 101 board rating and were still celebrating when I came back!! I mean, I don't recall HEARING a 'happy to serve you' nor a 'my pleasure' but the way I was serviced has me wanting to go back and tip them IN BETWEEN visits!! Now THAT is saying something!!
