Went and got my first haircut at Nubian Hair Studio and although I wasn’t nervous or scared, the atmosphere was extremely comforting. The staff were super professional from the moment I step inside.
My hair was so damaged and in such bad condition. I had been wearing a wig for a couple of months and I did not pay my hair underneath ANY attention. I called beforehand and warned them about the mess that they were about to witness, and I even offered to wash and semi treat my hair before the appointment but the lady on the other end of the phone recommended not to. She said she wants to see my hair in the condition that it was in, so that she’ll have a better feel of what to recommendable products to suggest.
I was starting my natural healthy hair journey and I expressed that I wanted to embrace my curly hair pattern once I got there. At first, because of damaged and everything bad that could happen to my hair, happened…looking at it, it seemed like I had no curl pattern.
I did the big CHOP and I was so happy with the results. The style that watched my hair, really WASHED my hair. She didn’t do the norm, 2 shampoo and 1 condition. My hair was so dry that it needed way more than that. Her knowledge about hair was enough, because I didn’t have to inform about giving me a thorough wash. And trust me, I usually have to.
I was very pleased with the results and the only reason why I gave them a 3 is because my best friend who have done several chops and have been on the natural hair journey for about 4 years wasn’t impressed with the results. She thought the cut was ‘too uneven’. From my perspective, I went into the salon not really knowing what I wanted. And by the time I left, I was embracing my natural hair look. My hair is so much cleaner, healthier and I can feel it getting stronger. Because of this, I am very happy.
