I
am
new
to
Beverly,
MA.
There
are
no
black
or
Dominican
Salons
that
I
could
find.
Someone
told
me
go
to
Union
Street
so
I
googled
it
and
found
Jay's
Beauty
Salon.
I
called
because
new
town,
new
culture.
In
NYC,
Dominican
salons
do
only
walk-ins.
Not
here.
I
made
an
appointment
and
I
was
set.
For
a
Saturday
appointment,
I
was
ready
to
spend
the
whole
day
here
because
that
is
what
I
have
always
experienced
but
NOPE.
I
walked
right
into
a
chair
with
my
stylist,
Petronila.
Don't
steal
my
stylist
but
she
is
AWESOME.
But
as
I
look
around,
I
think
I
would
have
been
fine
with
anyone
here.
Everyone
speaks
English
here,
which
wasn't
the
case
in
NYC
all
my
years
getting
my
hair
done.
For
me,
this
makes
my
experience
more
personal.
In
NYC,
Dominican
Salons
are
like
immersing
in
a
culture.
I
am
polite
and
learn
the
rules.
But
there
isn't
anything
to
learn
here.
It's
just
easy.
My
hair
is
washed,
my
scalp
is
so
clean!
It
feels
great.
The
shampoo
chair
is
a
recliner.
I
love
recliners!
I
try
to
keep
from
falling
asleep.
When
I
get
a
deep
conditioner,
they
place
me
under
a
steamer!
This
is
a
game
changer.
I
believe
using
a
steamer
at
home
during
the
pandemic
added
the
moisture
that
made
my
hair
grow
inches.
This
is
a
first
for
me
in
a
salon.
And
of
course
I
got
my
hair
roller
set
and
under
the
dryer.
I
am
going
to
cut
to
the
chase.
My
hair
looks
FABULOUS
when
I
left.
UPDATE:
I
have
gone
back
weekly
for
a
while
now
and
this
is
my
salon!
I
went
natural
so
I
could
get
coloring,
balayage
to
be
exact.
Maybe
I
will
now.
