Salon owner Pennae

Today I got to check out my friends salon. Celebrity stylist Pennae has been asking me to check out her newly renovated place called, Salon Pennae for a minute now, so I decided to go. We met a few months back at a women’s shelter where we both were guest speakers. We both had testimonies on how we overcame so much diversity and to show the women where we are today.

Pedicure Area

Pennae had a great story of how she battled with drugs and was homeless. I was homeless awhile back too while I was in high school, so both of us bonded right away. She has been clean for many years now and has opened several salons throughout Atlanta. I love her salon and it’s very industrial looking and I loved her decor. She has about 8 stylist and one barber. When I started taking pics, everybody got camera shy but it was packed lol.

Good shampoo and deep conditioner

She trimmed my ends, shampoo’d me and gave me a deep conditioner, blowed dried my hair and I was curled up in about an hour and a half. I’ve never been to an african american salon where they got you out so fast lol. She was the first in many years lol. I told her my hair was thinning because of hormonal changes, so she put some type of treatment on my hair and told me to kick the caffeine, which means stop with soda lol.

Hey yall!

I’m trying, I’m trying lol. She said all that caffeine gives me dry scalp and causes breakage and thinning of my hair. Pennae  has been in her new location for 1 year and that she is so happy with it. I live about 50 minutes from Salon Pennae but do plan on going to her when I have special occasions.

Carol’s Daughter product review

01 0338 romint duo 350x350 300x300 Carols Daughter product review

I was asked by Carol’s Daughter to conduct a product review for their new Rosemary Mint Shampoo & Conditioner. I love their products and they have a fab store located in Lenox Mall in Atlanta. I’m not a hair stylist and dont want to be one but I can do my daughter’s hair fairly good.

Dootie all lathered up lol

My daughter Dootie asked me to try to do her hair because she had a field trip today with her choir. I said hmm ok, I have this new product that I need to try out anyway, so thanks for being my guinea pig lol. I first washed her hair with the Rosemary mint shampoo and my daughter said it felt tingly. She also liked the smell of it. It took me about three times to get it lathered up but after the 3rd time it had a nice lather to it.

Conditioner in tact

I then combed my daughters hair out and added the conditioner. My daughter does not have a relaxer so I was wondering how it was going to turn out yikes lol. With the help of the conditioner it became manageable and soft. I combed through the conditioner and rinsed.

Blow Drying

DSC09508 225x300 Carols Daughter product review

All pretty for school lol

After that I blow dried her hair and flat ironed it. I did the best I could do but I’m not a pro at hairdo’s. She was pleased and you could still smell the scent from the rosemary minty smell. I give Carol’s Daughter new Rosemary Mint Shampoo & Conditioner a thumbs up! If I did have to say one thing negative, that would be that it did leave a slight film on her hair. I thought that I followed the directions fairly well, but with the help of a spray shine, her hair came back to life lol.
