REHAB Hair Salon Just Gave Me A Fantastic Haircut!!!!

I am soooo happy right now as I write this post. I just got the best haircut of my life! And no I am not exaggerating,  before I wrote that sentence I did a quick memory lane of all the haircuts I've ever gotten and this one is the best. I got my beautiful cut done at Roots Exclusive Hair and Beauty (REHAB) Salon, by the wonderful stylist Sandra (Thank you girl!). I had trimmed my hair in September, got rid of the scraggly ends but it was uneven (as you probably noticed in the picture I posted). I tried to even it out, but never got it to my liking.  I liked the layers throughout my locs, but it wasn't flowing as evenly as I liked and I knew in the hands of a good stylist I could achieve the style I was going for.  I couldn't go too, too short or else I would need to take new head shots (and I'm not about to do that) but I wanted it to look styled. Sandra understood exactly what I was going for, she would double check with me before she snipped to make sure she wasn't cutting to much off. The layers now have a flow to them and this is the most stylized cut I've gotten.  Now here's the super cool thing, because they were just tidying up what I had, I only got charged for a trim! $25 for the wonderful work I received. That's a great price anywhere and in LA that's miraculous! The salon is located in the heart of Hollywood and has a very clean, professional, soothing, chilled, Afrocentric, incense burning vibe to it. Aklia's gift & jewlery store is in the front and you walk through it to get to the salon (great goodies there too!). The salon specializes in all forms of black haircare from locs, loose naturals, relaxers, weaves and more. Their prices are extremely reasonable that when Tina (another stylist there) quoted me for $25 I thought I had misheard.  I arrived on time for my appointment and was taken care of right away. If you live in the Los Angeles area and you are searching for good salon do yourself a favor and check out REHAB! Oh and the cherry on top is that the salon and gift shop are black owned Yeah!

Sankofa Natural Haircare

Hello, Hello, Hello!  Well around this time of year I like to treat myself and get a professional to retighten my locs.  This time I chose to go to Tyla of Sankofa Natural Haircare. I met this wonderful woman via YouTube (I tell you this social networking thing works!), we chatted over the phone and  finally I had the pleasure of her doing my hair and guys it truly was a PLEASURE! Aside from her wonderful manner, her compliments of my locs and how well maintained they are (yeah for me!), she is also incredibly affordable!!!! For those of us living in Los Angeles that is amazing because we don't have the quantity of natural hair stylists and specialists as you folks do on the east coast.  Tyla is truly a treasure, not only does she do locs, she also does braids, twists, etc., in fact I would suggest checking out her website where you can see her work for yourself at http://www.sankofanaturalhaircare.com/, I will also leave her website on my link list.  Of course I posted pics of my locs after my reti and Tyla and I looking really shiny lol!  Have a wonderful day lovelies!

Ciao

Mahogany Hair Revolution

For the Natural Queens and Kings living in Los Angeles one thing that is hard to find is a good natural hair stylist let alone a stellar natural hair salon. We in Lala land are not blessed with the plethora of great salons as on the east coast (you east coasters don't know how good you have it!) But I came upon natural Hair salon Nirvana right here in Los Angeles. As you all know I am a DIYer but every now and then one likes a little bit of pampering. My problem is that I am picky as hell!!!! I've self educated myself to the point where I have found on a few occasions I have more knowledge or current knowledge than a self proclaimed natural hair stylist and let me tell you the prices people will quote you out here!Ridiculous doesn't even cover it! Well No longer!!!! Mahogany Revolution is a FANTASTIC hair salon! Owned and operated by Kari Williams who besides being a stylist is also a trichologist. She is passionate about the health and beauty of our hair and it really shows in her work. I walked out of her salon that day and I immediately had 3 people ask me where I got my hair done. Her salon is located near the Beverly Center, it is warm, inviting, professional and clean. while she worked on me and only me, she educates you on your hair as well. She will answer all your questions and is very honest and kind. It was thanks to her advice about the nappyloc tool and that latching would probably be a good route for me to take as my locs were small and the constant twisting over time would probably weaken them (I am so glad, so glad and yes one more time SO GLAD I listened to her). Her price points are quite reasonable and she has a roster of other knowledgeable stylists as well. So if you want great, honest service by someone who knows what they are doing and cares about what they are doing then I highly recommend paying Mahogany Revolution a visit. I've added her website on my link list. Here is the contact info for the salon:
