HELP: Need Good Colorist In Richmond, VA area

[antoine]

I posted this in the salon section as well, but I figured this section gets more hits.

Ok, here's the deal. I live in Richmond, VA (chesterfield county), but I am a transplanted New Yorker (brooklyn) and former Curve customer (got my big shop and all of my texturizers done there). Long story short, I have texturized hair that gets touched up LIGHTLY every six months AND I have color - lots of color. Since I get my texturizers done "light" most folks think I am 100% natural - that include stylists and at this stage of growth (mid back in 1.5 yrs when stretched), i cant afford to screw it up.

Problem is I normally go back to NY to get my color "done," but I not scheduled to be back in NY for at least another month. (I usually squeeze in a hair appt while I'm there on business).

Can anyone reccomend a colorists who deals with this type of curly/kinky/near natural hair?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated - cause right about now I look like a broke rap star with all this dark new growth (UGH).

i AM originally from richmond, but unfortunately i can't recommend any black salons. my hair is curly, so either i wear buns or twists or get it blown out a dominican salon.

stop playing...i'm off of Ironbridge too, in Irongate. See I thought I found a stylist, her name was Rhonda and she worked out of the Cuttery over on Beulah. Anyway, when I went back to do my roots (she did my color + she said she does texturizers), the receptionist said the WHOLE damn shop moved and she didnt know the location.

Thanks for all the help ladies. I am so used to having a good salon on every corner in NY, and this board is making it easier.

no friggin way!!! We'll girl if you can reccomend a good stylist - even if its two seperate - for color and a texturizer, I will be forever grateful.

I'm thinking of doing my texturizer myself - i see a lot of the ladies do on this board. AND the last time I went to curve in ny it cost me 350, but it was slamming and thats why i only go like once a year.

they did my daughters hair, for her dance recital and she is a 4a and they blew her hair so straight everyone thought she had a perm.

Do they sell products to the public? If so there goes my extra money for the rest of the month
