Ok, sorry this is so long, but I felt the need to vent. This is the second time I'm typing this. I'm extra mad now bc I had just finished typing it a few seconds ago and then when I went into preview my computer started talking about some send an error report crap. So here goes again ...
I went to Manuela Beauty salon in East Baltimore on Saturday. So I walk in with my remi goddess french wave and the man up the front must have assumed that it was all my hair and sent me to the back to get it washed. I sat down in the chair and this one Dominican woman, she was younger maybe early 20s came over and touched my hair and was like woo thats a lot of hair. And I was like it's a weave. She tells the Black shampoo woman to wash it, comb it out with some specific conditioner and then roll it up. So the Black lady jumps in and starts shampooing my hair all rough like she's scrubbing it and she felt a track and was like ooh this is tracks and I was like yeah.
So when she lifts up my head to put the conditioner in she took the comb and tried to comb it out and couldnt get it through. And she was like this a tangled mess! Feel it! What kind of hair is this? That wet and wavy? See that's what happens when you buy synthetic hair. And I was like no it's not wet and wavy it's indian remy hair. It can be reused just give me the comb, you have to just comb it from the bottom. When I felt my head I was like OMG! WHY IS IT TANGLING LIKE THIS??!? I immediately started panicking. It was a TANGLED MESS!!!
There were globs of tangled hair as big as my FIST. It felt like my hair was matted and then I tried to wash it. I've been washing this same hair in the shower every other day sometimes every day for a whole month and I NEVER had a problem with serious tangles. I had one or two small tangles like on the back of my head towards the top from going to sleep with wet hair but I got those out easily on dry hair with my fingers. I don't know what she did.
So I took the comb and started detangling I managed to get all the tangles out but mind you my hair was covered in conditioner so it got all over my shirt. I could feel my fingernails softening from all the moisture. It was a MESS!! I spent a half an hour detangling that hair and do you know the shampoo woman wouldn't help me? I mean it was her fault right? I wasn't sure if I wanted her to help me but she could have at least offered.
So by the time I finishing detangling I noticed a few tracks were hanging in the back so I figured I'd just stick a bobby pin in there and pin it to the braid which is what I normally do when a track slips. I just bobby pin it until I can get home and resew that part. When I felt the middle of my head, all the braids had started unraveling from her scrubbing so hard. There was barely anything left for me to pin it to!
All I could do was take the weave down. I was trying to keep it in for at least 2 more weeks. I just didn't feel like taking it down just yet. The braids were holding up fine, I had just checked on the them night before after I washed it before going clubbing. What the hell did she do?
It took me a whole hour to get the weave out of my hair, get my hair out the cornrows and then comb through my hair. All the shampoo woman did was stand there and watch and make rude comments the whole time. She was like you need to just go ahead and throw that hair out. You must be crazy if you're still gonna try and salvage it. I was like what!?? The hair was not the problem did you not just see me sit here and detangle it myself? It never tangled on me like that before! I'm not throwing this hair away, it can be reused and I paid too much money for this hair to just throw it away! And then she was like I don't see why you put that weave on top of all that hair you got anyway (Mind you I don't have that much hair but it must have been a lot to her bc she was bald headed and what was on her head was clearly damaged). Your hair is gonna be all tore up by the time you get that mess out of there. I wanted to WRING HER NECK!!
I was SO MAD. Then I was upset and frustrated. The thread was cutting into my fingers and those little cuts still hurt! My shirt got ruined from the conditioner. The shampoo woman wouldn't even give me a pair of scissors. She was like I would help you but I could risk loosing my license if I cut or break your hair off. Since when do you need a license to shampoo hair? Don't cosmetology students usually shampoo hair in salons while they're still in school? Who needs a license to shampoo and roll hair up? And then when I first asked her for the scissors she said she had left hers home and wouldn't ask any of the other women in there for a pair. Why do you have a pair of scissors if you aren't licensed to cut hair anyway? And then when I finally asked her again, the younger Dominican woman who came over and looked at my hair when I got there came over and reached up on the shelf above my head and got a pair out the basket and gave them to me. Then she came over and helped me cut the thread and get the tracks out in between working on her own clients I was like thank you so much!! And she was like no problem.
By the time I finally got out of there it was going on 5:00 and I had gotten there at like 1:30. My own hair only took an hour tops to be washed rolled and blow dried. I wasted damn near my whole day in there. I had a cookout to be to at 6:00 and I live all the way on the other side of town. I went to the Dominican salon to get my weave straightened and came out with my own hair washed and blowdried. I was so mad. That defeated the whole purpose of me going. I mean my hair actually came out pretty good. I was surprised at how much it's grown since the last time I had it out. I think I'm gonna go back to them should I want my own hair washed and straightened especially since it was only $20 but I REFUSE to let that shampoo woman touch my head EVER again unless she wants to rumble... :swordfigh

I feel that the ol' shampoo girl didn't have a license to do hair period. I would've flipped my lid if that was me!! How dare she do that to that beautiful remy hair!! 
The nerve of these stylists. 
Like we are suppose to pay our money and let them do whatever they want to do to our hair and we are suppose to sit in the chair and take it....HEEEELLLLLSS NOOOO!!
erplexed I'm making a trip up there soon.
