Diva Weave Salon

I went in to see Tyrese after he trimmed my hair for me a couple of weeks before. When I got my trim, he talked about how he has «growing hands» and can blow my hair out just like the Dominicans and really made it sound like he knows what he’s doing… even with natural hair. Well I decided to go back to him and to let him blow out my hair. Mind you that I have been working hard for 2 years trying to get my hair to a natural healthy state and finally I was there. My hair was shiny and soft and manageable, especially after that trim that he gave me So… I sit in his chair and without evaluating my hair 1^st he says that he shows me this Dudley’s redefining conditioner that he uses on my hair after washing then proceeds to try and blow my hair out. Well, needless to say, I left the salon looking like a rag doll, hair stripped and dried out from that conditioner. When I expressed discontent, Tyrese started making excuses, like… what do you use on your hair at home, well maybe you need to bring that with you next time and finally, well maybe you need another relaxer.?! Except… I don’t have a relaxer. I guess he forgot. I would also like to point out that not only does Tyrese not take a moment to assess his client’s hair, he also does not have the right tools to perform a blowout. HIs blow dryer was not hot enough and he used a mini flat iron on my hair. Ladies, we know that a mini flat iron is not going to generate enough heat to really straighten and smoothe our hair… Furthermore, he doesn’t have the technique to do blow outs and CANNOT do a Dominican blowout without giving up as he did with my hair.
So, since I sat in his chair for a simple wash and blow out, I have been struggling to stop my hair from breaking and falling all over my sink. Now I have to work to get it soft and hydrated again and to grow out the broken strands so all of my hair is even as it was before. Unfortunately, it’s going to take some time. But I learned my lesson… if someone is talking about what they can do the way Tyrese was, don’t trust what they are saying. Go with your first instinct and trust the good results that you got at the other salon. Tyrese gets two thumbs down for tools, blowout techniques and keeping your hair healthy:(
