I have had one White stylist do my hair. She did good cuts and could blow it hella straight with a blow dryer and a round brush. I think I let her do touch ups and never had a problem. All my other stylists have been Black, including the one who chopped off all my hair and devasated me at 15. I have been going to the same salon for almost 13 years now. It is a husband and wife. He does chemicals and she does cuts (although they can both do eveything) They cut fantastically. They stay very much up on trends, do hair show in NY and continuing education for thier industry (which he feels a lot of Black stylists do not do enough of to keep their technique up to date). My hair is always healthy and gets compliments. They do not do natural hair though and consider themselves a relaxer center since that is what they do. I love their salon because it is small, extremely profesional and I am always in the chair the second I walk in and am out the door in no more than 90 minutes. He tracks all the clients inthe computer, knows when you recieved what ervice and make notations if anything funky goes on with your hair (starts breaking off, scalp issues, etc.) so they can try and address them. When the White salon around the corner lost water, they let them rinse clients with chemicals in their shop, those White women were in awe of the atmosphere( relaxing atmosphere, jazz paying, the most comfortable shampoo bowls EVER!) . So much so the White salon has renevated to make it more like the Black salon! That says a lot. They are more expensive but totally worth it.
