A lot of us get station here by being in the military. In addition, I have found they do not have black stylists here. Everywhere you go Asians or Caucasian are doing hair and have salons. In addition, they will refuse service to you quick. The few black stylists that you do run across here charge exorbitant fees and cannot do hair. Seattle is sad. I am from Washington, DC and I miss you all so much. Northwest women look like chicken heads unless they are mixed. On the other hand, most of us do each other’s hair. Washington State gets two thumbs down in style and fashion.

I am currently a proffessional hairstylist in detroit,Mi. Others say that we are the Hair Capital of the world. I for one think that we are but I do know that we don't rank number one in customer service. There are truly salons here that you can do a movie about. I am about to embark on opening up a proffesional salon. It's small, my focus clientelle I am aiming for is only the one's that are serious about there hair. I considered starting at 6am in the morning and taking the last client at 4:00. I'm 30 years old and have been working in the salon for almost 10 years and I refuse to do hair at home and I feel both sides of this forum. Client's want there money's worh and stylist wan't respect.Clients I'm sorry but if your hair is long and or relaxed great care is needed. If you can't take the time for your hair, time such as conditioner etc. Then the stylist is not for you. If you are sitting in my chair and I am your hair stlist and you know my work, let me do my work and by doing so you should receive just respect, proffesional service in a timely manner but where not machines. My instructor taught me about a couple of things one If you get into this business don't have toilet tissue feelings and two You can't please every body and in the past 10 years this holds to be true.

Underhanded attack on an African American hair salon
Thu, 27 Sep 2001 01:50:20 -0400 From: haroldjax@yahoo.com

Art Robinson is an African American hair salon owner in Herndon, VA.He owns and operates Sheldeez Beauty Salon. He also;retails products in his salon and through his website www.sheldeez.com. One of the many product lines that Sheldeez sells is Kera Care, a product line as you probably know that is manufactured by Avlon Industries an Illinois Corporation. As a means of informing more potential customers that they could purchase Kera Care on-line Art registered the domain name keracare.com. This substantially increased Sheldeez sales of Kera Care and gave Kera Care an International reach that it had not enjoyed before. Art thought that Avlon would be delighted by his new increased level of purchases and perhaps consider a more extensive relationship with him. Particularly since their corporate policy as you probably know is not to sell directly to the public and he was bringing their products to people who couldn't get them otherwise. He was mistaken. Since August 2000, Avlon Industries (holders of a trademark on the word keracare) has demanded that Art relinquish the domain name unconditionally. That he give them the domain name for nothing. Over this time Sheldeez has developed a significant on-line business selling Kera Care products. A business and income stream that he has cultivated and would be delivering to anyone that he gave the domain name to.Because Art believes that he has every right to the domain name, (he is a legal and lawful seller of Kera Care hair products) he refused Avlon's demand.He did however suggest that they enter into some sort of compromise. He at one point agreed to give Avlon all of the domain names that they wanted.In return all he asked was that they include him in an existing list of salons where you could purchase Kera Care. Even this symbolic compromise was ejected.He felt as if this was the least they could do considering he held the domain names they so desired. They wanted the unconditional return period. Never mind that Art had created an international reach and distribution for their products, that he purchases the products from their distributors, putting money in their pockets, that before he registered the domain name that persons typing in keracare.com got nothing. Now they get a legal and lawful place to purchase Kera Care products.
On May 16, 2001 Art received troubling news. The corporate owner of the products that he had recommended to his customers had sued him for the domain name keracare.com ; The law is not clear as to whether holding a trademark automatically entitles you to the corresponding domain name. When you have some time please view these cases where the trademark owner lost the case.
No matter what your thoughts are on who is entitled to the domain name, you must agree that Avlon's next action were underhanded.When it became clear that Art would fight the lawsuit and would not relent ;Avlon through phone calls and letters to it's distributors asked it's distributors not to sell to Art or anyone from Sheldeez. This is illegal, unfair, and
warrants a lawsuit of it's own for interference with a legal enterprise. They sued him that's one thing but to use these illegal tactics is another. To interfere with a legal enterprise before a matter is litigated is against the spirit of American Business. For what reason would Avlon do this? If Art has no access to their products he can't sell them, can't make money, has less money to defend himself. There is a federal law in this country called the first sale doctrine. It says that once you've sold a product to anyone you have no say so in who they sell it to. Everyone in this country is due the same chance at prosperity. The matter is in the courts it should be settled there. Far too often businesses, small businesses, get financially ruined by large corporations like Avlon Industries because they have more resources. Small sole proprietorships on the rise like Sheldeez even though they are right cannot afford to be right.
If you disagree with this assault on fair play in business please sound off to Avlon Industries in opposition to this travesty with the following person:

The Associated Press - Saturday, June 10, 2000
Paul Nowell, Associated Press Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Atop a candy vending machine in Tom Jacobs' barber shop sits a glass jar with freebies for customers. But it's not filled with free combs or candy.
Jacobs is giving away condoms. Customers at LaPorsha's Hair Studio are invited to take as many as they need - part of a program adopted by hairstylists in five North Carolina counties to combat AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases among blacks.
"The barber shop is the kind of place where the guys come in and talk about what's really happening in their lives," said Jimmy Wiggins, a LaPorsha's customer. "It's not like church where you hold back a bit. We really let it all hang out here."
Jacobs said that's why he joined the program.

"There's some people who won't listen. They just want to come in and talk about how many
15-year-olds they knocked up," he said. "I want them to know, 'If you're doing it, be careful.'" The nearly 10-year-old Positive Connections program, which operates only in North Carolina, aims to train 100 barbers and beauticians in the Charlotte area over the next year. If all goes as planned, they would counsel 300 men and women each week and distribute 1,000 condoms and pamphlets a week.
Statistics from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention show blacks, who make up 12 percent of the U.S. population, represent 37 percent of the AIDS cases; the CDC estimates one in 50 black men and one in 160 black women are infected with HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS.

The five counties participating in the program - Charlotte's Mecklenburg County and Durham, Chatham, Wake and Alamance counties - also have the distinction of being among the national syphilis leaders. In Mecklenburg County, there were 157 cases last year, and 133 were black. Of the county's 1,901 HIV cases - the precursor of AIDS - 1,549 involve blacks.

Jacobs and about two dozen black barbers and hair stylists attended recent training sessions on counseling customers about prevention and safe sex, giving away free condoms and making referrals.

As customers began arriving one morning this week, Jacobs put down his scissors and comb and walked over to his TV and hit the play button on the video cassette recorder. As the narrator recited the grim statistics, the banter in the shop fell to a whisper.
Besides offering free condoms, Jacobs every hour plays a 13-minute video on the HIV/AIDS epidemic featuring President Clinton and U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher.

Several women getting their hair done on the other side of the shop turned their heads to listen to the message. Jacobs, 49, said before he joined the program, he wondered whether all the safe sex talk would drive away customers. "If I've lost some business, no one said anything to me about it," he said. "I just don't want someone coming to me in 10 years saying, "Why didn't you tell me about this?'"

Hi how are you? My name is Sarah and I live in the UK. My hair is thick and has a kink in it. So maybe I'm lucky when I say my hair can be trained to straighten or to curl however I prefer the sleek look. I would like to enquire how people with Afro hair like your stylist Sharron B get their hair so straight and de-frizzed looking. I would love to know the secret behind your style plus actresses Tia and Tamera Mowry from TV's Sister Sister. Any tips? Products? Services available for hair? I would really appreciate it if Sharron B could briefly let me know of the secret to sleek gorgeous looking hair. Thanks for your time, Sarah
