I wish that I could find a hairdresser for which I do not have to sit 30 minutes to an hour (yes, an hour) before she can even *start* on me. Come on, really. I feel like, they should be able to give a better appointment time...something closer to the time that they will actually begin on you. I also try not to go on weekends but even on say, Tuesday night, it will be 3 hours plus before I'm able to leave (although she can start earlier).
I know that getting my hair blow dryed will shorten the process but my hair is much healthier (and the style lasts longer) when I go under the dryer. Still, even with going under the dryer, I don't see a single head taking 3 hours plus.
Has anyone had any success finding a hairdresser that does not overbook and that can get a client in and out in 2 hours or so? I just don't see sitting in a hair salon all night (or all day) long. What did you do if you've been successful?
Also, I'm sure that this is just me (and my cheap self) but I just don't see paying $35 plus just for a wrap! I mean, as far as I'm concerned, I can wrap my hair and sit under a hairdryer at home (and I do sometimes). What is up with the high, high prices? Spirals are $45. I just don't understand paying almost $50 for someone to put rollers in my head, sit me under a dryer and take them back out.
Is anyone else out there experiencing this or am I just extra cheap?

Soror, the earlier the better. I went to the shop last week (my appt was at 8:30 am) and I was outta there before 10. I sat under the dryer for 30 min after getting my hair treatment, got my wrap afterwards and was done. I can honestly say that I've never had any issues with hair dressers seeing me at my scheduled time though. Now pricing, that I can complain about
I paid $55 to get a power pack( hair treatment that stops shedding) and a wrap. For the wrap alone I usually pay $45, which I think is still ridiculous (I am used to paying $30 down south) In two weeks I have to go for a touch up/trim. This is gonna cost me $75
Black hair care maintenance is so expensive but in my case, well worth it. Good products yield good results. Plus my stylist specializes in hair CARE not just getting your $ and giving you what you want. I can appreciate that
Horror story: A salon in Columbia, SC that shall remain nameless is responsible for the damage my hair has incurred over the last couple months. I went in for a wet set but decided to add in a rinse for something different. Last week I go to my hair dresser home in Cali and she attributes the breakage of my hair to PERMANENT COLOR. That's right, this negro put a permanent color in my hair rather than a rinse as I requested. I never would've guessed, I thought it was the transition from fairly clean southern water to extra filthy California water, but she is sure that that negro put a permanent rather than a rinse because the original color (cranberry) has faded to a sandy brown and I have a line of demartation-only found in permanent color. What do you all think I should do about this? I am upset because I was finally getting my hair to grow out the way I wanted it and now this
I am all for a smear campaign but this place is somewhat prestigious in that area
