I decided to try this salon based on the reviews posted here. I've been to a Dominican salon in DC before and I was NOT pleased. Needles to say, based on the reviews posted here I decided to give this salon a try. I could not be happier. I went in at around 3:30 p.m. (today, 11-6-09) and was out by about 5:20 p.m. (I must have literally walked right past the person who posted the last comment ;-) ). The stylist all seem to be really nice. One girl washed and rolled my hair, and another blew it out and pin curled it. The receptionist also helped by taking out the rollers. I haven't had a relaxer in a while and my hair was VERY coarse. Also, my hair is somewhat short (a little longer than chin length). I was able to sneak a few peeks in the mirror while my hair was being straightened and it looked very straight. I was shocked. Even now when I look at my edges and feel my "kitchen", it looks and feels as if I've had a relaxer. I've never had pin curls before and actually had to ask another customer what pin curls were (basically my hair was parted into sections, flat ironed and then rolled under and secured using a bobby pin). I can't wait until tomorrow to see what happens when I take out the pins.
I also paid a total of $31. $30 for the wash and roller set-$1 for the pin curls.

I made the decision to go natural 2 weeks ago, and I plan to stick with my decision by visiting this salon twice a month.

Beware- the hand-held dryers that they use to straighten your hair are VERY VERY VERY VERY hot. I jumped a few times. Ha ha
