Where do we get hair?
Posted by Nathalie on May 10, 2007My clients come from all over the place. Some are new to Orlando, some have been here forever. Some get their hair done every week, and I ‘break the cherry‘ for a few too. There are so many common questions that people ask, but the first one I wanted to address is:
Where should I get my hair from?
Now, in the future, this site will have a full listing (plus ratings) of hair supply stores all over the place. For now, I’ll just have to spotlight the few that I know of in the Orlando Area.
Answer #1, no, Sally’s is NOT an option, not for the most part. They are overpriced (for example, a $0.99 jumbo pack of hair could cost you $1.99 and up at Sally’s) and they don’t have the greatest selection for ethnic hair either. There’s a wonderful chain of hair supply stores in the Miami/Lauderdale area called Deco Drive which I LOVE, but too bad, they are not here in Orlando. So….
I mainly go to #1 Beauty Supply (Check here for the YellowPages info). It’s located at: 2700 N Orange Blossom Trl, Orlando, FL 32804.
Although it’s not the most beautiful location, the customer service is pretty good and they have a big selection of wigs / tracks / human hair / ponytails…well, just about anything you can think of putting on your head, they’ve got it. I’m very picky on the hair I purchase (especially when buying for micros) and they’ve got some quality brands (Beverly Johnson, Bijoux, Milky Way, etc).
Feel free to post a comment on your favorite hair supply store. I know there are plenty out there, I’m just too lazy to search! LOL
Also, if you’ve had a bad experience at a hair supply store, feel free to blast them at your leisure.
I’m getting turned off by the fact there is a whole store owned by the Asians for the sole purpose of selling hair and pretroleum/mineral oil based products to black women. The products stunt the growth giving women the urge to buy hair instead of taking care of their own. I stopped giving them my money.
