I wash my own hair at home. I had two bad experiences at black beauty salons and never went back. I went to a dominican place and find that the Dominican girls are really good at hair styling all kinds of hair for the same price. When I used to straigten my hair for the summer, I would have be very particular about the kind of straighten they used because most of the clientele were black women with really coarse hair. I don't need industrial strength fabulaxer along with a hot comb press. I used to get my brows waxed at a 'white salon' and loved it. It wasn't crowded with everyone's kids running around and no hostile looks *lol* I got my hair done and they even gave me a discount. Now I take care of my big hair at home with a wash,condition and mild blowdry. All natural. All beautiful.

At the risk of being slapped, may I assert the Ann Coulter rule here (pictures mandatory)?

Seriously, as the only male in our household, I have always seen that longer hair or more complex styling cost more. Getting #1's waist length thick and heavy hair done for prom cost a whole lot more that #2's (who has a longish bob). Only place I have ever seen flat rate is for your basic cut at strip mall places or barbershops. Wife has also found that different stylist charged differently, even in the same shop.
