Payless Beauty Supply

I love this store they are family owned and the lady i mean the wife gives me free stuff all the time when i buy things like the bigger my purchase for hair products.
I get nail polish and hair needles, and more i can’t think of basicly A GREAT STORE.

The ONLY reason I’m not awarding a full five stars is ’cause the guy working there gave me a Bible tract, and this is a big Oh No No in Amy’s world. I like my shopping secular, thanks.
Other than that, this store’s great. I was looking for a wig for a costume, and they had a big selection — mind you, Payless is a supply place directed toward women of color, so most of the wigs were darker, but not all, and many had really fun colors woven in. Synthetic and cheap: my wig was $ 26, and there were wigs on sale for less. There were also tons of bags of extensions, many already braided, and loads and loads of bags of (synthetic) hair for those of you who make your own extensions. You could buy small packages or large, in any color, and I do mean any: they had florescent pink, bright blue and green, etc. Rad. And many kinds of hair dye if you want to deal with what’s growing on your head already, and tons of hair care products, hair accessories, and then earrings and even a few pairs of SHOES, and some self-​copied hip hop CDs on the front counter.
The backstock is minimal, I think: my wig was taken straight off the mannequin head (then packed up properly, and he threw in a cap to keep my hair in, and didn’t charge me tax!), and when I inquired about a pair of boots, the guy told me those were the only ones he had. I got what I really needed though, so that’s cool.

Lift yo’ hands high up
Try to reach the sky
Release yourself
Let your freak flag fly!
Did you know that you can be anything you want? OK, I’m talking on the outside. If you are fucked up on the inside, then you have bigger problems. But, you can change your look anytime ya like. You can have someone do it for you or you can do it yourself. So in deciding whether or not I want my do curly, wavy, nappy, braided, twisted, locked colored, clipped, cropped, crimped or covered up, this is my first stop on the road to a hair transformation. I usually just get some hair for my braids. But if you need, shampoo, dye, conditioner, clips, combs, lipstick, ghetto jewelry or temporary fingernails… they got it for ya. And a variety of wigs, or as I call them…“hair hats.”
Long flowing fake shit? No, no no. Not the Cid. Lauryn Hill would not approve. I might get called out at the Erykah show. I’ll stick with my identity. When it comes to my hair… I’d rather be late, than straight. Running your fingers through my afro… it ain’t gonna happen.
