		<description>Hey Shones..I just stumbled on this thread after sticker shock here in the RDU area...$60 (low estimate..they needed a &#039;consult&#039; for a final price)for wash/trim/condition on short hair?! 
Holla back (isleofcapri@gmail.com) with the stylists you recommend in the Raleigh area.
And here&#039;s a question..I understand about twists, specialty cuts, etc. taking longer...but how does a trim for a man w/ medium hair cost $15 @ the barber and the same trim for a woman..with similar length..cost $40 and up?!</description>

		<description>I very much think we blacks don&#039;t really appreciate our nature. I recently had a reality check. And I gave up all hair extensions that I had invested a lot of fortune in. And for the first time in a long long time I feel better knowing that I could carry off my natural hair. Spend time and money maintaining it. And I haven&#039;t loved my looks as much as now. 
Very few saloons, care about Afro textured hair. And even the so called black saloons don&#039;t help matters. 
I say wearing extensions is totally a complex thing. 
Am glad to be part of this blog.</description>

		<description>Hi Aisha, I am so sorry to hear that you have had a hard time finding someone in Philly (my hometown) to get your natural hair done. You may want to check out Craigslist in NE Philly. My daughter&#039;s name is Cynthia.
I am in Kansas City,Kansas and if you ever come to the Midwest look me up.
Good Luck Bella!</description>

		<description>Currently building a Loc &amp; Retwist business in VA with an additional speciality of Loc repair; I spent today researching &#039;All Stars&#039; in natural hair care and came across your site! My charges are $45-$65 (adding fiber pumps the price up because of the time). My mission is to encourage all to live with healthy hair, remove those damaging chemicals, stop the tremendous hair loss, and proudly display our naturally gorgeous locs.

Never again will I ponder if i&#039;m too cheap and doing the wrong thing. Thank you for those uplifing experiences. It would be great if all of you were here in Hampton Roads,(7-9 city area depending on whose stats are used)VA; however, my website- irepairlocs.com is under construction. Further promoting healthy hair and protective styling, I make my own gel, blend my own oil and use black soap shampoo.
Thanks for letting me know that my path is blessed.
Peace and Healthy Living to All

		<description>HI, 

I read your post on visiting hair salons and I wish I lived and worked in the Chicago area because I offer exactly what you are looking for (minus the salon. I&#039;m currently working with a small business agency to secure a loan to get a commercial space.  I currently work from home).  I offer my clients a great atmosphere that welcomes natural hair.  I love doing natural hair, everything from locs, to two strand twists to, braids.  I also offer straightening for my natural clients but I also provide education on heat damage so they can make informed decisions about their hair. My purpose is to provide options for my clients and to encourage them to embrace their unique and individual beauty. I&#039;v have been doing this work for some time now and as a natural sister myself, I understand how hard it is to find affordable, professional service.

Hopefully I will be expanding and maybe open something in Chicago.  But in the meantime, if you&#039;re ever in NY (Harlem), look me up. I would love to invite you to my grand opening :)   www.imenainc.com.</description>
