Choosing a Salon for Natural Hair

Choosing a Salon for Natural Hair

Tameka of Providence, RI says:

Dear BHP, I did a BC (Big Chop) a year ago today, and I am so proud of my journey thus far.  However, I need help finding styles that work for me and I would really enjoy going to a good natural hair stylist.  I have gone to regular salons, but most of the time they refuse to style my natural hair.  Any tips on how to find a good natural hair salon? TIA

Tameka, I know how you feel!  I do my hair by my lonesome (which is the method that I prefer and love), but every once in a while it would be nice to get pampered at the salon like I did prior to going natural.  Unfortunately, many salons have stylists who are not skilled in natural hair care and they may end up doing more harm than good to our hair.  In conducting your search, I recommend that you check the salon’s referencesGet clients’ opinions and see where other naturals are going to get their hair styled.  If you see a natural on the street and you like her hair, ask her where she got it done.  Search the internet for websites, web pages, and/or web references for local salons. I wouldn’t just go through the yellow pages on this one, it’ll take a bit more work than that.  If you do find a salon, talk thoroughly with the stylist before letting him/her style your hair. I all else fails, try going to youtube and following tutorials in order to DIY (Do It Yourself)!  You may just be pleasantly surprised at the results.  I hope this helps.  Good Luck on Your Search!
