I finally went to Luisa's today. For those who don't know Luisa's is a Dominican salon in the DC Metro Area (Silver Spring, MD to be exact).
I made my appointment for 3pm and arrived promptly, soon after I was whisked to the shampoo bowl. The shampoo smelled like oranges and the stylist lathered 3xs, which was good because the day before I had sprayed braid spray (ingredients similar to Jherri curl juice) and put castor oil in my hair.
After the thorough shampooing she applied a conditioner (it smelled good too). Then it was roller setting time, she was fast and much gentler on my hair than any other salon I've been to, whatever conditioner she used must have had a good amount of slip in it, too because Fri. will make 7 wks. since my last touch-up.
After putting the rollers in my hair I sat under the dryer. After my hair was dry she took out the rollers and blew my roots out with the hottest dryer that the world has ever made
Thankfully that didn't last too long. She had asked earlier if I wanted her to wrap it so she did putting in about ten bobby pins. But, I had yet to see my hair.
I get on the Metro go shopping (yes with my hair wrapped with pins in it
) and then when I get home I take out the pins and comb out my hair...............
MAGIC!!!! Why oh why had I never been to Luisa's!!! My hair is shakey full light and feels like silk!!! My fiance was fascinated with the movement! I have re-wrapped my hair and put on my scarf for the night, but this will definitely not be the last time I go to Luisa's!
