April braided my hair for Burning Man, but I was in such excruciating pain I had to undo my hair. I…read moreevetually found a lady who did my braids and I made it to Burning Man three days later than originally planned. The braids I had did not hurt at all, and I would often forget I had them on my head (my entire hair was up, not down). And my braids lasted the entire Burning Mud 2023. This is what I wrote the night after I came back from April's hair salon: "My braids are the type of braids that go along your head, not the ones that hang down. I have small braids on the sides (above my ears) and then I have one large French braid in the middle. My scalp is non-stop throbbing from pain. She saw me curling up in the chair in pain (the entire time) and continued to braid them insanely tight. She was cracking up and kept repeating some phrase that basically communicated how they needed to be tight. I am a white girl who has no idea how braids should be done. So I believed April, but I thought they would stop hurting later. I did have braids last year, also for the burn, and nothing was hurting. I have had surgery done on my big toe without anesthesia, I had four premolars extracted when I was a kid without anesthesia, and April braiding my hair is No. 3 most painful experience in my life. For hair?! Is that normal? I am in so much painful discomfort it is difficult to put into words. I am supposed to pack for Burning Man, and I literally cannot do anything because I don't know what to do with myself. It is hard to believe I can be in this much pain from braids, and it is hard to believe I need to be in this much pain from braids." If, for some weird reason, you think pain with braids is ok, cosider this. Here is what I found about painful braids. If they do not stop hurting by tomorrow, there is no way I am keeping them. "Camp adds that prolonged tension on the hair from tight hairstyles, braids, buns, or ponytails can weaken the root of the follicle. Over time, the hair follicle may become permanently damaged, leading to hair loss.Wear your hair down to loosen any tension, thus weighing the braids down. This is a simple way to not tug at the roots or scalp." ""If a hairstyle pulls on the scalp and is causing pain, then it is likely too tight and causing mechanical damage to the hair follicle," explains Garshick." "Tight braids can lead to hair loss down the road, especially if you make a habit of wearing tight braid styles. "If the braids are unbearably tight, I highly recommend taking them out to prevent hair loss or breakage," says Pounce." "Tight braids can potentially cause permanent damage to the scalp and the hair," says Bailey. She explains that when braids are too tight, they can potentially cause soreness or follicular pustules (inflamed, sore, raised bumps on the scalp) in addition to traction alopecia." "Traction alopecia is hair loss caused by continuous tension on the hair follicle," Camp explains. "Tight hairstyles, such as buns or braids, can weaken the root of the hair follicle. Traction alopecia is biphasic, which means that, initially, the hair loss is temporary and can be repaired if the tension on the follicle is removed. If the tension continues, the hair loss can be... permanent." Garshick adds that while traction alopecia can initially be considered non-scarring, it can evolve into a scarring hair loss if not addressed." https://www.byrdie.com/braids-that-are-too-tight-5079461 "Yes, tight braids can cause sores on the scalp. When braids are too tight, they can pull on the hair roots, causing the hair follicles to become inflamed. This inflammation can lead to the formation of sores, which can be painful and even become infected." "Wearing tight braids can have a number of negative consequences, including scalp sores, hair folliculitis, and even hair loss. Scalp sores from tight braids are often accompanied by itching, redness, and pain, making it difficult to comb, wash, or style your hair." https://edgenaturale.com/blogs/news/scalp-sores-from-tight-braids-what-you-need-to-know

She is great at what she does and gave me a beautiful transformation. She cares not only about making it look good, but she wants YOU to feel good. She takes into account what you want and your opinions. I feel that this is hard to find with most hair stylists. If you are picky and know exactly what you want, she will give it to you!

Came in for a cut and a Brazilian blowout today. I originally wanted to do a Japanese permanent straightening but I guess I mixed the two up. Mary made light of this and told me the two are different. I've had the permanent straightening done before but didn't know what I was thinking. I asked if she could do the permanent straightening at that point. She said she could but would have to order the product and it will take about a week for her to receive it. She then asked if I wanted to do that instead. I said it's okay and decided to just give the Brazilian blowout a try to see. I was already there and Mary was already washing and shampooing my hair. I didn't want to waste her time since the spot was originally reserved for me. During the process I was still a little hesitant. Hesitant no longer because it turned out absolutely amazing! She did everything I requested which was to go short and thin out my hair. She really took her time to make sure everything came out perfect. Almost towards the end of the process we both thought about how we should've taken a before and after picture because it was a major transformation. You can tell she really loves what she does and puts her all in it because she says she loves the feeling of the instant gratification she gets when someone transforms by just a new do. Now that's passion. Mary also has a really down to earth attitude and makes you feel really comfortable during your time with her. Prices are very reasonable and work is fantastic. Thank you! I will definitely be back. ~~~~~~~~ Below is an after pic. I'm partly mixed with African-American descent so the texture of my hair is really dry and nappy. Wished I had a before pic to show you guys the huge difference.

She was responsible for my wilder look when that was who I was and she is responsible for my current look... Brazilian blown out hair. Having tight curly hair it's hard to find a stylist that understands how to cut curly hair and I alway leave her feeling beautiful. Mary can give you a creative and edgy (from platinum to purple) or a natural look. She is also great at helping you come up with a look that you can manage on your own. I also give Brazilian blowouts 5 stars! They last 3 months. My hair is shiny and frizz free! The only product I put in my hair is the Brazilian blowout balm/hot tool protectant and it takes me 10 minutes to blowdry and flat iron for perfect finish. My natural hair will take at least 45 minutes (on a good day) and will still get frizzy! I'm so unbelievably happy I found Mary and she's in Fullerton. Brazilian blowouts for life!!

My husband says I have "lion head" when I don't straighten it. Jennie did a Yuko treatment to straighten my hair and get the friz out. Amazing what it has done for me. I can blow dry it and wear it as is or straighten it in half the time as before. I LOVE IT! Her salon has great "stuff" too.

She honestly considered everything I told her for how I wanted my hair to look and my hair has outgrown very well since I got my hair done a while back. She was also very helpful in the beginning explaining to me which certain tones I was going towards and explaining hair goals fit for me. Overall I did love my experience with her and my balayage!
