User Review of Dominican Salon in Michigan

 
3rd April 2009

What our readers are saying…

I tried Harlet’s Hair Style Unisex Beauty Salon twice and I love the entire hair treatment that Harlet provides.  Although I love my hair when I leave, the time that I spend in the shop is unbearable.  The first time was definitely crowded so I understand, but the second time there was only myself and another person in the shop and I was still there for 2 hours.  I am going to try Dominican Styles in the next couple of weeks and I will let you know if they are actually dominican and how it worked out.  I am not counting Harlet’s out, but I will only be able to go when have 3-4 hours to spend in the salon (almost never), or desperately need a blow out.

Thanks again for the tip!

If you have been to Harlet’s please, take a moment to rate them; give fellow readers an idea how they rank.

    I have the same problem with most protein treatments, but find that Aphogee Two Step Protein Treatment leaves my hair strong AND soft.
    I don’t think my hair likes keratin protein and if I’m not mistaken, Aphogee contains hydrolyzed animal protein. This is the one product that
    has been true and faithful, other than my beloved CHI Silk Infusion :)

    I love Harlets! I’ve been going monthly for about a year and my hair is at its healthiest! It took me a while to get past the language barrier- I just bring a book. I never have to wait- thats because I usually go on a Wednesday morning (lucky that I have it off). My hair is always swinging and beautiful when I leave! Cant wait till tomorrow morning when I’m back in her chair :) lol- And I second using the CHI silk invusion, gorgeous results!!!

    In response to Harlet’s salon in Detroit Michigan….I love her. I agree that the wait can be a little over 2 hours but it’s worth it. I’m originally from NYC and everyone is use to spending hours in a salon just to get their hair straight. I moved to Michigan 3 yrs ago and Harlet was a gift from heaven. I’m dominican so I know a good hair dresser is hard to find. The only annoying thing about going to Harlet’s is all the men that flock all over you and try to talk to you. Later Chicas! and LaNegra ~ I’m so upset that I just found this site! It’s fabulous!

    You’re not kidding about having to wait, in NYC. There have been times when I was the first one in the salon and still managed to spend half a day in there.
    But we know how it is: one in the seat, one at the bowl and two under the dryer LOL.

    Llubi, stop by again, k?

    Besos

    Hey Negra!
    I’m looking for a flat iron to use after I get out of the hair dryer b/c I’m sick of blow drying it ( you know the drill). What kind of flat iron would you recommend? My hair is thick and curly – pretty typical dominican hair. Thanks!

    I am just finding out about your site and it is FABULOUS.
    I have a question.. In NYC would you happen to know a place that straightens natural hair like no one’s business for a decent price? I have went to salons who leave my hair puffy and don’t do the rolos right and the place that does my hair decent has closed down. Any suggestions? :]

    Hola Viv,

    I’m glad you like the site :D
    This is such a tough question, because there are a couple that I knew that did natural hair, but the amount of heat used was pretty frightening. However, if it’s occasional, I suppose it couldn’t hurt.

    Ok, the one place I remember that did a really nice natural blow out was on 2nd Avenue, between 116th & 117th street. I think the salon is called D’Colores.
    Now, the problem is I cannot remember the name of the stylist. She looks African American, but she’s dominican; she’s brown skinned with short, relaxed hair (wears a weave from time-to-time). If she’s at the same booth. When you enter, she’s on the right…closest to the register.

    Then there’s another that a friend of mine used to go to. The owner, I think her name is Ana, used to do her natural, unrelaxed hair and it looked wonderful.
    I believe she’s on 5th, or Lenox, but will have to check the specifics on this spot for you.

    Lol the heat won’t bother me too much. I only go for a good wash and set with a blow out once every month and a half because a GOOD one lasts me a week (provided there is no rain, snow, humidity;etc) and an excellent one lasts me a while. I try to space out the blowouts to give my hair time to get itself back together and maybe grow a bit more. But then again… once I did go to a place where it was dangerously hot under the dryer and the pins to hold my ear in place almost left burns. (O_O).. But do let me know. =]
    I’m getting tired of the curls being in my way lol. Also.. How thick is too thick when it comes to bangs and how thin is too thin? =]

    I haven’t got the info for you yet, but I’m still looking into it. I’ll share it as soon as I find out.
