Just recently I had a new client come to me that had really badly.damaged hair. She used to live in Florida but now she resides in Columbia S.C.. Well let me tell you guys what happened to this young lady. She went to a stylist in Florida that her sister referred her too to have a relaxer done. While the relaxer was still on her hair the stylists said I'm going to put a "keratin treatment" in your hair too it will make your hair really really straight. "Ok pause what" is what I said while the client was explaining to me why she doesn't have any hair now. Yes people, the stylists in Florida put two seperate chemicals in this lady's hair at the same time. And she did this at her home because she was fired from the salon where she use to work. So my next question to the young lady was ok does she even have a license and are you sure she put a Keratin treatment in your hair and not a keratin.conditioner.I just can't see someone that's suppose to be a licensed cosmetologist being that negligent, text her and ask her what she put in your hair. So she did and the stylist did reply to the text which shocked me.The text said "I put a mizani relaxer in your hair and a global Keratin treatment". OMG is what I thought to myself.Than I told the client those are both chemicals she was not suppose to use those together that is why your hair fell out. You need to report her to State Board before she does this to someone else,she's suppose to know better.I had to share this story with you guys so that you can stay aware of what's going.on in some.of these hair salons.Ladies please do your research and ask questions before you trust someone enough to let them do your hair.What are your thoughts on this story?

Salon Overbooking
How do you feel when you have an appointment at a salon and when you get there six or seven people are ahead of you and they too have appointments.Now you have to sit and wait for hours before you even get shampooed,and this isn't the first time that this has happened.So, what do you do? Do you complain or do you sit and wait your turn because your stylist is really good? What's your opinion on this?

Salon Deposits
I reguire a 50% non refundable deposit for new clients that want to come in on a Friday or a Saturday. When I first opened my hair salon I didn't have this rule. But due to clients calling making a weekend appointment confirming that appointment and than the day of the appointment not showing up, something had to change. So I changed my policy and now everyone shows up for their appointments. What's client's don't realize is,when we set an appointment time for you that time is yours and yours only.So when you don't show up not only do we lose money, some of us lose respect for the clients and start to overbook just to make sure we will have people showing up even.if someone doesn't. We as stylists demand the same consideration and respect for our time that you the clients do.What's your feelings on this subject?

Salon Prices
Hi when it comes to the care of your hair is cheaper always better?
When deciding where to go if your main concern is price please remember that you get what you pay for.Cheaper prices means cheap products being used and more than likely not the best hair care service. So with that being said when it comes to Your Hair you have the option of paying more for the Best Service and Best Hair Products,or you can choose the cheaper route and take your chances and accept whatever the outcome of your hair is.What do you choose?
