I live in Rex Ga. Anyone know of a good Dom Salon around here?

In response to salsa "kinky" hair isnt all the same. Most black women who have relaxed hair will go to dominican salons for wash n sets and relaxers because they tend to better at those things. While black salons usually specialize in weaves, braids and handling natural black hair in dreads and unrelaxed & most dominicans salons don't do any those things.I have seen latina women with thick hair who need relaxers but it wasn't the same texture as natural black hair which tends to be shorter and drier than most other types of hair.Hope this helps.

IF you live in Northern VA or Springgfield the best place to go is DC Giovoni's on U street next to the StarBucks

So, any luck finding one in Savannah? Im from NY and Im sceard to go get my hair done down here! I used to go to a Dominican salon in Buffalo NY that I loved! Im African American and my hair is natural and let me just say those girls used to work my hair to beautiful every time. Now that Im in Savannah I cant find anyone who can do anything with it. I just need a good blow out, Help!

I live in Buffalo, NY and am currently looking for a good salon. Would you mind sharing which Dominican salon you went to? Thanks,

NY Salon 9 West Victory Drive, Savannah Georgia. Her name is Sekina. Girls hear me when I say the Best . I hate going to get my hair done. She keeps me coming back. This is the first time I have ever went 12 weeks without a relaxer. I hope to go longer this time. I Love Her. She is the Best.
P.S. She averages one hour and you will leave FABULOUS.

Oh yeah the place in Buffalo, NY is call A Touch of Elligance. Its located on Allen St down town...right down the street from the Town resturante. My favorite stylist for twisties was Nani but I think she has moved. Just ask anyone inside the salon though...Im sure they will be able to point you in her direction. Anybody in the salon can WORK a blow out though so please visit them!!! Its walk in only so go early and if you must go on a saturday go even earlier!

Here is a list of some of the BEST Dominican Hair Salons in the U.S.

NEW YORK

Elia Hair Salon
850 Amsterdam Ave.
New York City
212/316-3100
While the Tiffany-style lamps and rosewood cabinet handles are so Fifth Avenue, it´s the attention you get from owners Josephine and Amy de Leon—who offer you un cafecito or vino tinto upon entering—that´s really first-class. You can get a great blow-out for $20, but here´s a tip: If you´re in a rush, ask for their special 15-minute blow-out, where two stylists go at your hair at the same time! Amy and Josephine will even send you a card on your birthday. Like finding them wasn´t gift enough.

Stephanie´s Beauty Salon
579 Myrtle Ave.
Brooklyn
718/857-3490
Owner Dilcia Jimenez uses conditioners made with natural ingredients, like the aloe-infused AG Fast Food Leave-On Conditioner, to moisturize dry hair (see”Their Favorite Products,” page 110). Also, bring her a picture of any fancy updo or hairstyle and she´ll recreate it!

Nagle Unisex
82 Nagle Ave.
New York City
212/567-7625
Always call ahead and ask what the food specials are; these peluqueras like to eat with their clients and will order you a plate. It´s a full-service salon, offering manis, pedis, waxing and facials, so you might get hungry. And prepare yourself: Some clients with super-coarse, even kinky hair have been accused of having relaxed their hair—that´s how sleek the blow-outs are.

NEVADA

Destination Laguna Spa Salon
4965 West Tropicana
Las Vegas
702/401-9059
Finding this place is half the battle. Stylist Grimilda Gonzalez operates out of a small room inside the Destination Laguna Spa Salon. There´s no sign on the door, so walk in and ask for her by name. Grimilda´s business thrives on word-of-mouth; she knows all of her clients and tailors her treatments to their specific hair needs. And her straightening technique (wrapping hair in rolos, drying them under a hood, then running a flatiron through strands from root to tip) stands up to 115-degree desert heat.

FLORIDA

Salón Dominicano
2113 E. Colonial Dr.
Orlando
407/897-2200
When owner Sobeida Sánchez first opened her doors in 2002 with the name Empire Beauty Salon, business was slow.”They thought we were just any old salon,” she says. A year later, she put up a red awning featuring the Dominican flag and changed the name to Salón Dominicano. Now there´s no mistaking what this place is about: Super-soft, gently-waved blow-outs that start at $25. But don´t expect anything fancy. The walls are painted different colors, the TV might be blaring las noticias, but the stylists—who happily accept walk-ins—son tan amables they are more than ready to make you feel at home.

TEXAS

Betty´s Beauty Salon
9327 Gulf Freeway
Houston
713/910-7594
Get past the worn leather couches and the broken cash register in this divey salon and ask for Beatriz. All you need is her first name; Beatriz is the only stylist, and she´s particularly good at recreating haircuts from photographs. Her daughter is a fixture at the salon, and the two gossip and tell jokes to entertain waiting customers. And you will wait. While an appointment might take the better part of an afternoon (Beatriz handles several clients at once), the good news is you can negotiate your price. So bring cash and don´t be afraid to haggle.

ILLINOIS

Family Beauty Salon
4108 South Western Ave.
Chicago
773/376-6529
The cheapest blow-out in our roundup comes courtesy of this small salon, based out of a one-floor house. For $15 you´ll get a blow-out that smooths down long, super-frizzy hair in under an hour. Need we say more?

CALIFORNIA

Barber & Beauty Salon
9003 Laurel Canyon Blvd.
Sun Valley
818/771-0787
You won´t even see a blower until owner Catalina Vandusen has first washed your hair three—yes, that´s three—times to rid it of dulling product residue. Hello, shine! And she´ll dry your hair in sections, twirling the brush at the ends to give hair tons of body. But while it´s possible to get a haircut, deep conditioning and blow-out for only $45, Catalina doesn´t list her prices and charges according to individual hair type.

Dominican Beauty Salon
8440 Laurel Canyon Blvd.
Sun Valley
818/767-2711
You want absolutely stick-straight strands that lie flat against your face? Then see Anna Aguilar, who owns this salon. She slathers wet hair with conditioner before using only a blower to dry it completely, from root to tips.

What´d she say?

Here, a few key words you´ll need to know before stepping foot in a Dominican salon.

el doobie: After hair is blow-dried straight, a stylist may wrap and pin your hair around your head and cover it with this scarf to protect strands and keep them flat. Ask for it by name.

rolos: Wet hair is wrapped around rolos—rollers—and then you´re tucked under a hood dryer for about an hour, until hair is dry, before it´s blown straight. This option uses less direct heat on strands, which damages hair less than if you were to use only a blower to straighten.

el flip (pronounced fleep): When your stylist asks you if you want your blow-out con flip, she´s asking if you want a gentle wave toward the ends, which will give your hair more body and bounce.

halar: Remember what Frenchy said: Beauty is pain. So when your stylist takes a blow-drier into one hand and says,”¡Voy a halar!” get ready: She´s gonna pull your hair through that brush, and she´s gonna pull hard.
