The stylist's name is Blade and he works at Upscale's Salon off of Wesley Chapel in East Atlanta. My appointment was at 12:30am and I was running a little late due to "inclement weather" ;) Even so, I walked right in and over to the shampoo area. The shampoo tech, I forget her name, did a wonderful job working the shampoo in and gave me a scalp massage that put me to sleep in the shampoo bowl! I'm just glad I didn't start to drool in my sleep...LOL! Afterwards, I was allowed to sit under a hooded steamer with a conditioning treatment. This is a nice departure from the shower cap/hooded dryer method. I plan to research the benefits of the hooded steamer..more on that later...
After a quick blow dry, I was given a very thorough trim. I was scared that he would cut too much of this hard-earned length...LOL.. but he only cut about 1/2 inch at the most. I was then pressed out with professional grade ceramic irons that made my hair flow like silk. Most shockingly of all, was that I wasn't burned one time, which I kind of expected would happen. Since it was snowing out, he offered me (and applied) a plastic cap to preserve my style.
In the end I had more than my desired result! Blade is the TRUTH! Any of you ladies looking for a stylist in the Atlanta area should definitely check him out. All of his clients that I saw while I was there are naturals, and he finished one girl before me and her hair was on point.
It's now Monday morning, and my hair is still doing well. My co-workers love it, my son loves it, I love it!! That's all for now...but forget what I'm talking about...I will let the pictures speak for themselves...
