A lot of times, Dominicana hairdressers are not good on gringa hair, and highlights---remember---are basically cloro and no Dominicana should be trusted with colo in any form ever.

Exactly, Meems. Last hairdresser I went to here was a Dominican woman. Every time I see a Dominican with a great haircut, I ask who does her hair. So this woman was mentioned and recommended several times.

I went to my appointment, told the woman I wanted two inches cut off on my blunt cut straight hair and light fringing in front to look like bangs growing out.

She immediately responded. “Okay. Let me give you a boob. “ what the heck, I thought. I repeated to her “A boob?” Yes! That is what you want, she replied.

It then occurred to me that she wanted to give me a bob. Sheesh!

Well, let me just end this post by saying I never went back, boob or no boob.

wherever you are in the DR, a 'good' hairdresser is probably just a few feet away
Depends on your definition of "good." I agree that a hairdresser is probably just a few feet away, no matter where you are. But most times, it's somebody's prima's daughter's best friend's mother who showed her how to cut hair.

And I know what I'm talking about. I have beautiful, fantastic, healthy, thick hair. It is my one truly good feature. And luscious locks have been subjected to unspeakable abuse in the years I've lived here, all at the hands of "good" hairdressers.

But to end today on a good note…..had an appointment with Ana after three years only getting hair services in the US from my dear friend and salon owner.

I was so happy after my color and cut with Ana that when I arrived home
In Jamao I needed to write to her again and thank her.

Now THAT is a good hairdresser!

Ana is the best. She has repaired some unspeakable damages of the times I strayed from her, and she keeps my luscious locks luscious.
