A different kind of war By Enuma Chigbo…read more Indeed, I sit here typing away in my living room, feeling much lighter than I was before I left home this morning. I had a huge load on my head and was determined to dump it at all costs. My major 'accessory' to this 'dumping ground' is the Royal Clip Salon, on Pleasant Hill, Duluth Georgia. Funny a few days before this day, the Lord, who has a way of placing snippets here and there, paints a little picture in my mind. I teach Sunday School in my church, Full Truth Church of God and last week, I was directed to title the teaching for that day, "Crowning Glory." Perhaps this was His way of letting me know that this interesting load, which was trying to make my head its permanent resting place would finally be exterminated. The load in question was a weave I had sown into my hair sometime in December 2019. "How long have you had this?" Jessica my attendant asks me as she wades through this rather intriguing labyrinth. I refuse to answer, shame being the sole reason. I had met Jessica a while back. I met her for the same reason. She took out my weave and quite effortlessly too. But second time around, I was unsure of the same results for the simple reason that to the best of my understanding no one and I mean no one leaves weaves in their hair for that long. I walked into the Royal Clip Salon wondering if I would walk out with any hair at all. "I just couldn't afford to come," I say to her quite sheepishly. It wasn't just the very reasonable fee Jessica charged me, but transporting myself from my new location Cumming and back would cost an additional fortune. But, the funds came miraculously and for this reason, I find myself on Jessica's seat. Walking around the plaza, I find it hard to believe I once lived in this environment. Yes indeed, I did and two years later coming back to familiar terrain, I would feel like the perfect stranger. Anyway I put away this thought for a while even as I start putting sequences together - Crowning Glory- Royal Clip. In these sequences lie an untold story and it is indeed my duty to tell it. In this place, where I would spent at least four hours of my Saturday, there was time to do a bit of observation. The place is squeaky clean. I particularly like the stain free dark brown wooden floors, a nice contrast to white walls and black leather swivel chairs. Some of the swivel chairs are white and my guess is that the white chairs are strictly for those who come in for a haircut. As for me, I would have a good time on my black swivel chair. There is another chair that sits much taller than the rest. It's a taupe leather chair where you can get a nice regal pedicure. "Do you mind if other people help out with your hair?" Jessica asks me. Actually, she did not ask that Saturday. She asked this question the day before when she called me to reconfirm my appointment slated for that wonderful Saturday. Of course my response was in the affirmative but behind that response was a cheeky grin and silent thought on my part. "If this lady had x-ray lenses she would not be asking me that question! Anyway, Jessica embarks on the arduous task and the conversations begin. I would learn that she is Vietnamese and has lived in the United States for about 15 years, which makes me more like a newcomer. In my home country Nigeria, the nickname given in this regard in JJC, which means Johnny Just Come and please don't ask where this came from! For the very first time, I am excited about taking selfies. Before and after pictures of this 'historic' event would definitely be apt. Two ladies come in and join Jessica and somehow the picture in my mind as per the 'before' state changes from that of a labyrinth to a farm, maybe in my home country Nigeria. Perhaps the unprecedented dirt adorning the salon's black cape provided to protect my clothes may have had a whole lot to do with this. Looking at the thickness of this beach sand like dirt all did remind me of that and then my thoughts deepened even further, I began to imagine the harvesting the yam tuber, a staple crop in that part of the world. It carries a whole lot of the dirt from the ground in which it's harvested. In total shame I watched and then from the corner of my eye I watched the facial expressions of the ladies, looking for signs that betrayed contempt or disgust but I found none. For some reason, they seemed more interested in getting the job done. Somehow my eyes were drawn to the writing on the painting hanging pretty on the salon walls. The words promote silence and denounce idle chatter. In about two hours, my hair is free from all entanglements. I look at the floor and see what came out, which to my mind is enough for the full head of hair of another. To think some Asian women make tons of money this way... Jessica asks me virtually all the time if I am doing okay and that gesture makes me feel well at home. To be continued.

I chose this no frills place on Club Dr off Steve Reynolds to beat the high traffic and higher…read moreprices places on Duluth. I am not sure if that was a good idea necessarily. While my hair came out ok, the experience wasn't pleasant. I remembered mostly being in pain and listening to strange conversations from the dressers discussing about financial issues/litigation, etc. for professionalism, I don't think discussing about financial legal issues is the best thing to do. Also watching one of the dressers come in and then go straight to a booth and start buzzing his own hair was also odd. I was here for a haircut and highlights without an appointment. I am grateful they managed to squeeze me in. The whole appointment was about 3 hours long. I don't recall my previous balayages/highlights being this uncomfortable. The technique here, which makes sense is sectioning hair and teasing it and then applying the chemical. The teasing part was rough and I kept thinking how were they going to remove a whole head of tangled hair later? Sure enough, as they were combing the hair out, applying a lot of conditioner, I questioned if there was a less barbaric way to do this. By far the star of this place is a stylist named Jessica. IT sounds like my dresser complained that Jessica doesn't show up in time and offered me a spot with her instead of Jessica. I wasn't super picky about The outcome and was pressed on time, so I said yes. I am pretty sure I lost quite a bit of hair from the detangling process as my ponytails have been very thin afterwards. Will likely go back to something on Pleasant Hill. Saving the money was nice at first but you get what you paid for.

I have been going to Anh for eyelash extensions for about 2 months leading up to my wedding and she slays my eyelashes every time! She works around my eye shape to make sure the lashes look good/even because I have one lazy eye. I booked a trial with Anh for my wedding and she completely killed it! Although it was too exotic and I wanted something more natural for my wedding day. Anh ensured me that I did not need to book another trial. On the day of the wedding she SLAYED it! I have never felt so beautiful! She put luminizing bronzer on my shoulder/neck/collar bones to make my whole body glamorous! I got compliments all day! I booked Anh to stay for touch up up until sunset photos and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND. She was with me every step of the way whether it be helping me get dressed, bringing me water/snacks, track down wedding vendors, fluffing my dress, behind the scenes veil photos, tracking down family members, making sure I had everything I needed and most importantly making sure that I still look beautiful even after crying literally every single 30 minutes of the day. If it wasn't for her, my make up probably would have melted off from all of my tears of joy from my wedding day. Don't be discouraged by her prices. She is worth every. single. penny. 100% recommend Anh!
