BIG CHOP… with professional assistance (Ms. Calais Williams)

This 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.

Time for Another Hair Logo Change

I was browsing youtube when I came across one of taren916′s video. I have not yet subscribed to her channel but I will. She seems like a really sweet person.

Right away I noticed that she had a book in her hand whose logo was very similar to the logo I’d recently designed for blacktresses. I felt obligated to take mine down right away. My heart initially sank because I spent so much time designing my logo:( After having a little pep talk with my family friends I know I will find a great logo for my site. Back to brainstorming again:(

Thank God I am Natural is a very cool concept and I think their logo is awesome!! If you have some time you should check them out.

Here is mine

Here is theirs

Yay For New Logo

It took me a while but I kept my creative juices flowing and love the results I came up with. I decided make a logo that is simple, clean, and elegant! Let your eyes roam up to the top and you discover a woman wearing a beautiful scarf and letting her black tresses all out
