Seductions Hair and Nails

Not all Domimican blowouts are created equal!
Came here as recommended by my best friend because my usual hair dresser (who’s all the way on the other side of the bronx) was off. Since it was close to home I figured I’d give it a try. I had already washed my hair at home so all I needed to have done was a rinse (to remove the conditioner I had left in) and set (go under the dryer with rollers in and a blow out to finish it off). Not exactly rocket science, but no matter where I go NO ONE can ever do it as well as my lady (bless her soul!). First off, the rollers weren’t put in that tight, second, although the jumbo dryer was right with heat temperature, the fan was low, causing me to stay under an extra 20 minutes (usually I’m in for an hour because I have so much hair that’s naturally wavy/​curly).
My original intention was to have the blowout done by Chabella (her name and number are on the salon’s giant glass window so I’m guessing she’s good), however she was doing a dye job at the time, so another small Spanish girl (who was particularly gifted in the chest area) did my hair. Now it wasn’t the worst blowout, but I’ve definitely had WAYYYY better! With all the tugging, pulling, and abuse my hair was going through I thought I would’ve come out out of there with the heavens shining down on me and an ever-​present breeze flowing through my hair (i.e. Beyonce performing at MSG). Needless to say I was in for a rude awakening.
Again, it wasn’t the worst someone has done my hair but I’ve experienced better (silkiness and shine!), it was just ok. The front of my hair looked like I just finished about 15mins of cardio and the ends looked like I was in dire need of a trim. Also, whatever the girl put in my hair as a heat protectant left my crown somewhat greasy looking (I had to practically jump out of my seat when i saw she wanted to add finishing serum to my hair :/​). Not to mention it was expensive! $ 40 without tip, me thinks not!
The only positive thing I can say is that when Chabella saw I wasn’t happy with the work she discounted $ 5. So $ 40 included the (generous) tip. Not going back.
