I'm done with Dominican salons, unless in a rush and nothing else is available. I am sold on the Ethiopian/Eritrean stylists. Your hair doesn't have to be relaxed dead straight for them to do it. Further, they appreciate natural hair. My stylist does not want me to put any chemicals at all in my hair. She's like, it's beautiful. Not most of the Dominicans, oh no. You better not have much too much of a curl or alot of them will complain. That's my experience anyway...
