I'm looking for a nappyhead salon in Oakland--one that specializes in real natural hair not braids and weaving. I'm real sensitive about my hair and haven't been to a salon in 7 years. The last time I went, the stylist yanked my head around trying to "get through" my hair. I left and haven't been back to one since. But there are some styles I have trouble doing and need someone else to do for me. Anybody had any real life experiences with a salon in Oakland, CA? Thanks!
