I recently visited the Mirror Salon at Carols Daughter on 125th street between lenox and 5th ave, NY. I was in desperate need of a Trim. I have not set foot in a salon since I big chopped last year April so this was much needed. I had a 10am appointment, I got there 5minutes early and was greeted by the salons' beautiful decor and receptionist who was very nice. One thing that won me over was that i did NOT have to wait for the stylist to get herself together, she as ready and waiting for me. HOW EXCITING!. Since it was my first time , I was giving a paper to fill out to prepare for my consulation. There were about 5-6 questions basically helping the stylist to get to know you and your hair. My Stylist Bukkey (pronounces boo-key) was super cool and very informative. She also listened to my needs and gave me good solutions. So after we rapped, we headed to the sink. What is so cool about getting you hair washed is that there is mirror directly above you so that you can see exactly what the stylist is doing to your hair.
I was to busy with my eyes closed because the wash felt too good. What I also appreciated was that Bukkey explained everything that she was using in my hair and why she was using it in my hair. We had a girl chat which was really refreshing. I then went to the steamer with conditoner in my hair, the steamer, along with the conditioner, made my hair so soft, detangled, and manageable. We then headed her station where there was a comfy chair and full length mirror waiting for me. My style of choice was a blowout and flat iron, but first i needed that trim. She proceeded to blow dry my hair with a denman brush and in my head i was like...Uhh Ohh how is this gonna go? To my surprise it went very well. I thought there would be a lot of snagging and pulling and i experienced neither.
My Trim was then done and with the trim i did get a little bit of layers. What a difference that trim made my hair. I had so much movement and bounce, i couldn't wait to get my hair flat iron. The Flat iron process was a breeze, not burned at all and finished super straight bouncy, healthy hair. I love my whole experience. If you are ever thinking to try mirror salon, i definitely recommend it. You will enjoy the experience! Oh! and fyi.. they stay booked so call and get in asap! BECOME THE SUN.
