Okay, so I did the ""big chop"" yesterday @ Curltopia. It is not like my hair was down to my rear end, but I am still in a bit of shock. Am I happy with the service,the stylist and the education received there? Yes! I am still waiting for my hair to grow on me though (literally). I discovered that my hair grade (type), took well to Miss Jessie's curly pudding. (This stuff is like a great modern day curl activator). At Curltopia they educate you about what products to use to maintain your style, and what works best on your hair. I know you think you can get it all from You tube, but I recommend you let the professionals guide you through this journey. My first visit there a weeks ago, I thought my hair was natural and ready to be styled as such. I hadn't had a relaxer in about 2 years. I had african style braids and sewn in weaves. I still had flat iron damage, and about a year ago I tried a dominican texturizer which was still lingering on my ends. Stacey did a flat twist to help transition my hair. The style was great but after two weeks I had to return to sit under the dryer for hours again just to have a transition style. I walked in yesterday in the impatient mood and requested the ""big chop"". So here I am today with a bit of a frizzy fro playing with products prescribed by my stylist. I am excited of what the end result will be on this new journey and I have no regrets. I am grateful to Stacey and Curltopia for taking such good care of me! BTW, If you can't get in there to see Stacey, no worries because I didn't see a stylist in there who didn't do a good job. Black hair, white hair, not a disappointed customer in sight! Good Luck!
