God love us, I showed up for a 3 pm appointment with a new stylist. I really want a professional condition & trim. Anyway, I walked in at 3:05 and ain’t nobody ready. I had forgotten this part 😭😭
Sweet girl. And I’m not mad AT ALL. But momma had a handful of loose hair extensions in her hand talking about it will be about ten minutes. Ma’am. I have been Black all my life. Ten minutes is when you’re holding THE MIRROR.
When you’re holding the rat tail comb and a spray bottle, it’s 25 minutes. When you still have loose hair in your hands???? IT IS AN HOUR.
The semiotics of Black salon time is very precise and highly contextual. I know my signs. Anyway, I knew this in my spirit when I left the house. I’m not getting a cut, am I?
Anyway, if you have a quick but professional salon recommendation (online scheduling a huge plus) that can do semi-regular conditions and blow-outs on natural hair within 20 minutes of Chapel Hill (aka the holy grail), please let me know. I’m going to Target.
