NYC Natural Hair Salon Suggestions Please!

**btownyaknow** · 04-14-2010, 03:57 PM

Thank you so much! I didn’t even think to ask those questions. I will definitely give her a call - thank you again!

I am looking for someone that can work with me in my transition period and help me grow my natural hair but also show me how I can take care of it at home. I’ve been watching youtube videos of roller sets, straw twist, etc but I don’t know if my hair can do that as I still have a lot of relaxer in it. I can’t remember the last time I had a relaxer but based on the bulking of my mother I am guessing my last touch up was about 8 weeks ago. I am having a hard time finding styles that I can wear to work (corporate environment) and also out on the town. Right now, I am wearing it in ponytails and down but I don’t want to put a lot of heat on it so I haven’t been bumping the ends which makes it look stringy and not put together.

I will definitely give her a call and see if I can get added to her appt book!

Cheers,
Brittany

You know I've been looking for a natural stylist as well and I live 15 minutes from Far Rockaway. Do you think Tameeka will mind if I give her a call as well?

^^ Tameeka's number is 646-379-0496.

Feel free to give her a call, she will appreciate the business and you will appreciate her services.

Tell her Queenie recommended her...told you that you were using my real name!! LOL

I love the styles in your pictures. I am looking for a hairstylist too preferably in the Bronx where I live. Any recommendations?

I am positive you will help with either of the two.

What did you think about Knotty Roots? I'm thinking about going to try them out one of these days.

Knotty Roots is GREAT!! I am going to more for my first retwist. The owner was co-owner of a salon in Baltimore for a few years. She wanted to return to NJ, so she opened Knotty Roots in March. Her prices are EXCELLENT!! I paid $65 for her to start my locs and the retwist is $45.

Mizan, the owner, really knows her stuff and has very beautiful locks.

I just made an appt to go to Knotty Roots tomorrow, so fingers crossed. I have been looking for a natural hair care salon, not just an african braiding shop, in NJ for a long time (one with affordable prices), so I REALLY hope it works out tomorrow. I've had some bad experiences!

^^LOL!!! Was that you in the chair when I came in around 5 pm? Mizan was doing your hair and Charlie retwisted my locs.
