If I went to a yt hair salon would they know how to handle my hair without making it look a mess? This concerns me but they are hair stylist so maybe they know how to work on all types of hair. I need to get my hair cut.

When I first went natural I wanted my hair flat ironed later that year. I was too broke to go to my original stylist so I went to the Wal Mart salon. An Asian lady hooked me up! I have 3b type of hair so maybe it wasn't a challenge for her. I was pleased because I was traveling that holiday and I wanted it straightened. I haven't used anyone other than my black stylist since then though.

I doubt it, they only know how to deal with their own hair types.... there might be a select few who do like that white hairstylist in Good Hair... I doubt many of them go to cosmetology school to learn how to do different hair types.... hell a prime example is Naomi Campbell.... her hair would be in much better shape had she gone to someone who knows how to do and treat black women's hair...

Always call ahead to save your time and embarrassment or hop on styleseat.com and check out their gallery.

ETA: I must be a glutton for punishment because I am eyeballing this Mexican dude and he seems to do some pretty good sew-ins.

I was going to call a salon today and make an appointment for next week. The two white owners do have curly hair and are Devacut trained and Goldwell color trained. They have great reviews, some by black women, so I think I will take the chance. I wouldn't trust them to press my hair, but to cut and color, yes.

One of my home girls tried one of the discount walk-in joints with a yt stylist and I sat and watched the whole thing unfold. It was an experiment that went awry. She looks like a Yorkie when the smoke cleared.

While, I've never let a yt in my head, I did have a disaster with a yt makeup artist.

A small percentage. Like i know there are many yt stylists at Devachan and Hair Rules...but when calling for an appointment ask for someone who knows our hair and does Devacuts

When I just need a wash/blowout and perhaps a small trim they've done fine. No better or worse than any black stylists I'd had.

The devachan stylists know how to do black hair and they're white, usually with curly hair. I went to get a trim/cut a few years back and my hair was layered to the gods.

I think they're an exception though. Most white stylists don't know what they're doing with hair that is beyond 3c.

Some of the best people to do my hair have been white. They cut very well. Here at least the black stylist are not taught to blow out with a round brush.
