So for those of you who have grown tired of hair drama and are just trying to get to the point where you can walk around with a head full of your own beautiful and glorious hair, well I've got the place for you!!! Hair It Is, located in Norwalk, is owned by two sisters, Rose & Paula, who I swear have the magic touch. When you walk out of there your hair will actually move at the slightest hint of a breeze! No need to worry about your hair being over greased from too much Duddly Press N Curl or too much Super Hold Spritz. If you are looking for a place where you can finally obtain that healthy, growing mane you've always wanted then this is it!
I happened upon them because I kept running into one of their clients whose hair was always ridiculously beautiful. Everytime, I saw her I would just stare in envy and try to hold back all the jealousy inside. One day I just got tired of looking at her and I just asked her where she got her hair done. I made an appointment for the next month and the rest is history.
So if you've liked what you've heard so far and want to book an appointment then you need to note the following. They are definitely booked solid on Saturdays. If you want a Saturday appointment then expect to wait at least 2 weeks to get in (they are not as busy during the week so try a Tues or Wed if you have the time). They tend to run a little behind schedule, but they do have staff that only does shampoo and prep work, to help them get to as many heads as possible. So basically you shouldn't be there for 4 hours on a Saturday, but be prepared to be delayed. Second, because they are very good and also an African-American salon you are going to pay African-American prices. So if you are used to going to the Haitians or Dominicans just be prepared for the stickershock. Last time I went, I got a relaxer and trim and treatment for $80 (not including tip). Yes, I said $80, but when you walk out of there you will feel like a Million bucks so it is soooo worth it. Also, it's important to mention, that after you wrap your hair the next day it will look even better than the day before. I swear it's the gift that keeps on giving so don't freak out over the cash outlay.
I also know that they are very good at color, weaves and all the trimings, however, I was so impressed with their work on my "natural" hair that I haven't even graduated up to the next level there yet. So if you do decide to go, and I hope you do, be sure to post and let me know about your Hair It is experience.
PS: Both sisters are great so just make an appointment with whoever can take you first
