My appointment is tomorrow over my lunch hour. Honestly, I don't have a problem per say to have a non-black person do my hair, as long as they KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING!!!
I have been burned (literally) by black stylists who call themselves knowledgeable

about out hair type.
My last stylist (gay man) I used to go to only does hair twice a month (he lives in a different state), so that means that doing my hair for special occassions, hair emergencies, etc. are out of the question. It also meant spending my entire SUNDAY at the salon (because he would try to do as many heads as possible while he was here in town for 2 days). I can't tell yall how many times my appointment would be at 11 am and he wouldn't get started on my head (meaning sit in the chair) until about 2 hours later. I wouldn't end up leaving that place until about 8 or 9. And heaven forbid if I wanted a roller wrap! Then I wouldn't leave there until about 11!
Plus, the last set of highlights that he gave me broke off!
