BIG CHOP… with professional assistance (Ms. Calais Williams)
December 12, 2010This moment has been in the making for approximately 2 years. I finally committed to having healthy hair by doing the big chop. I made an appointment, which was with a self proclaimed natural hair salon, and I couldn’t back away (they required a deposit and I couldn’t throw $40 away).
Upon arriving, I was disappointed. When I read that they specialized in natural hair care, I wasn’t expecting a “normal” salon. I was greeted by the receptionist, had my hair washed, sat through a steam treatment and conditioning, had my hair dried, flat ironed, cut, and styled. I was told that I have a dry scalp which resulted in the attempt to sell me their products. I think the pitch would have been better if I didn’t suspect that the shampoo dried my hair out. The reason why I reached that conclusion is because my hair squeaked after shampooing. I experienced the same thing when I used Burt’s Bees, which stripped my hair (which I suspect is already on the dry side). My disappointment stems from my expectations, not the service. I expected something earthy and with a greater emphasis on hair health without straightening. However, I did notice that there were several private rooms that women went to in order to have flat twists and extension completed. Overall, the money was well spent and I am glad that I didn’t cut my own hair.
