I've never been to a dominican salon but I've seen vids on Youtube, do they always do 7,000 passes with the flat iron? Did you get heat damage going to them?

Lol I just get a roller set so I don't get the rollers set/ round brush /flat iron combo. Heat damage will happen if you do all that to your hair. I only go once a month also.

Hey ladies ,

I would encourage black women to bring your own deep conditioner. If you have a certain texture hair ,they may try to slip relaxer in the conditioner. It's popular in Atlanta and Maryland especially .

If you need conditioner recommendations,just ask.


That was soo 2012. Are sistahs really going to the Dominicans? What’s wrong with a black stylist that specializes in natural hair

They tend to charge a LOT in my experience/where I am, have gone to a few, gotten Rex’s etc and it’s been the same. I have been looking for one to work with my curls, but separate from that the same styles the Dominicans do have cost about $100 or more, which I truly don’t get why.

Exactly. Most people go because it's cheaper. I only get roller sets and I have extremely long hair. I know some salons charge for length. I bring my own conditioner and pay $30.

I understand. Perhaps you can go to a cosmetology school and pay only $15.
