Many years ago, I got my hair cut at a "white" hair salon. It came out ok; however, my hair was done by an AA so I'm not sure if that made the difference. I'm a little leery about letting someone put a relaxer on my hair if that person has not ever known what's it's like to have that experience on his/her own head (assuming that my hairdressers have relaxers and not presses).

Questions:
1. Have you ever had your hair styled at a salon not "black owned" (Dillard's, JC Penney's, Fantastic Sams, etc)?
2. Did you notice a difference in price among Af Am and non-Af Am patrons?
