Review: The Dominican Hair Salon

This my own personal story of wanting great hair. For years and years, I've been trying to answer this one question: How do I get pretty voluminous hair that I feel great about? You see I' m an African American female and I have a perm in my hair. And all I've seen for years is flat, lifeless relaxed hair that constantly needs to be "pumped up" by a professional hair stylist. Well, that's what I experienced until recently when I found the answer to great hair. And this answer won't just work for African Americans, this answer will work for all types of people with all types of hair.

I found the answer to great hair when I walked into the Dominican hair salon.

I heard about Dominican hair salons from someone I knew who is notorious for always sporting fabulous bouncy hair. I asked her to give me the number to her salon and made a decision to break away from my normal salon and take a walk on the wild side.

And the best part was, I didn't even need to make an appointment. At most Dominican hair salons, you can just walk right in and quickly one of the stylists will begin to wash your hair for you and proceed to give you a roller set. The roller set is a unique technique that Dominican hair salons have mastered. They roller set your hair using little or no setting lotion, sit you underneath a very hot, very thorough dryer and allow your hair to completely dry. After your hair is dry, the Dominicans take a hand dryer and a round brush to blow your hair out while gently curling it with a round brush. While all of this may sound like a lot of heat styling, it really is absolutely nothing compared the heat of a curling iron.

After the roller brush technique is finished, you are left with bouncy, shiny, fabulous looking hair and the best thing is you'll only end up paying about twenty five dollars for the entire process. Dominicans themselves have a variety of textures of hair so no head of hair is too kinky, straight, limp, fine or etc. These hair salons give good perms and good trims.

Those are all the positives about going to a Dominican hair salon. There are just a few negatives. But even they can easily be turned into positives. Some or maybe even most of the Dominican stylists at Dominican hair salons may not speak the best English. That means that if your hair is really damaged or something and you need to get into some complex dialogue about what you should do to fix the problem you may lose the stylist as you speak to her. But on the other hand some Dominican hair stylists speak perfect English. Mine does, and she was able to tell me, "Hey Mami, you need a deep conditioner." And now she's telling me that I might want to try a rinse because my hair is this kind of ashy black color. And let me tell you, I don't even know a thing about rinses. No hair stylist before this one has ever suggested one to me. So now I'm looking forward to well-conditioned bouncy hair with a rich color. And I am really loving it.

You'll be surprised to know that there are many Dominican hair salons around. It doesn't take much effort to find one. So give one a whirl, you don't have anything to lose, but you have great bouncy hair to gain.
