I booked an appointment at the Williams Edge Aveda salon (5 min. from my house)......(super nice, professional stylist name shirley) I was very nervous as this was my first time letting a Caucasian person do my hair! When I got there, I IMMEDIATELY sat in the chair for a quick consultation and scalp and neck massage and also was asked if I would like warm tea, wine, coke, water....after that was taken to the shampoo bowl for a poo and deep cond (with warm towel wrap) (and another scalp massage) (all of my FAV products were used) after that, went back to chair for blow dry (not the same blow dry I experienced before at other salons, not as hot, but very detailed section by section blow dry) my hair was about 80% straight after this blowdry (it was the brush she used, not alot of heat from dryer).....then I got flat ironed (she used seadoo ceramic flat iron (with heat dial)...not the marcels that burn the crap out of our hair)...she showed me that she turned the dial down to, I think 200degr (low level)...she applied several aveda heat protectors and moisturizers before straightening...after my hair was straightened, i got a cut....after that was given another neck massage and hand massage, a little blush and lip gloss I love my hair! After day 3, my hair still looks good and is soft and light.... I will be going to back to Shirley....
