FAQs
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
The job I am most proud of is when a gentleman brought in his mother who's hair was very matted. She had been in a coma for several months. She was just out of the hospital. She did not want all of her hair cut off but she was prepared for it. I permed and cut a very small about of her hair. She and her son was very pleased.

- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
My advice is to ask relevant questions to your particular needs when looking for a good hair salon and hairstylist. Do not call and just inquire about prices. Cheapest is most often not best. Ask questions like what type of products do they use, what is their specialities and how long have they been in business. You can even ask is it ok to come by and see the salon. If a hairstylist have a problem or seem irritated by any of these questions, that is not a good sign.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
The wait time in a black hair salon is not always the hairstylist's fault. There are several factors to consider. The very nature of a black woman's hairstyle require time. She often gets precision haircuts, precision curls, dryer time, flat ironing and eyebrow arch. The second thing to consider is clients themself often show up late or don't show up at all. So often I have to pad my appointment book a little to compensate for the loss of lates and no shows. It a balancing act because I don't want my ontime clients to suffer because of what others have done. I try to protect all involved by doing several things. I ask new customer when making appointments, if plans change please call and make me aware. I don't give new customers the first or last apt of the day. I pair new customers with regular client appointments and I have cancellation fees.
