I don't live in the area, so I had my hair done when I came to town to see some close friends. I…read morehad heard from my best friend that there was a cosmetology school nearby. They were easy to find via search on maps online. I've always had good experiences with haircuts, trims and color around the country at cosmetology schools but this was by far the most professional looking school I had ever encountered! I don't know who runs it but I'd like to find out. First off, when I went inside, I was greeted by a beautiful, calm, almost spa-like atmosphere instead of the usual smell of perming solution and color. I don't know if I was just there on a good day or if this is the usual way, but bravo to the owner and staff for the ambience. (See picture, had I not been in a hurry that day I think I would have indulged in a full line of services and took many more pictures of the mottos on the walls). The students and instructors, most of whom I did notice were younger and female, had well put together looks...ranging from conservative to alternative/experimental. The clientele that day were like myself: ranging from middle aged women up to the elderly. The young lady who did my hair consult seemed to immediately understand my hair type and I opted to get wash and waves similar to what she was wearing that day. I was going to get a trim but it wasn't necessary and I like that she didn't talk me into unneeded services, something I have unfortunately experienced at many salons. We had a good chat about a variety of topics as she worked on my look. I left there feeling more confident. I should have took a before picture, as my hair was a complete humidity-trashed messed when I had arrived. The only downfall to the experience is despite a light dusting of hairspray, my look didn't last two days as I was hoping; it lasted twelve hours. I don't know whether to attribute that to my hair or maybe it needed the humidity-proof hairspray I have used in the past, but all in all, I give Kristen and the others a 5 out of 5 and will definitely return when I am in the area again one day.

Here's an update! One word: VANESSA! I had another woman I think her name was Aly or Amy but she…read morewas getting tutored by Vanessa who knew all the ropes around textured hair and how to maintain curly hair! She gave me a ton of advice and hair styles on how to make my hair less frizzy and what haircut to get that won't lose the pattern of my curls! If you have curly hair make sure to ask for her!!! Vanessa is amazing and she has short curly hair. She's the sweetest girl ever and has definitely changed my mind on this salon.

Zander's last day of daycare and he starts Pre-K next week…read more Y'all know I give reviews- so let me just say- out of all the daycares Zander has had (& he's been in daycare since he was 6 weeks old) 12th Street Baptist is and always will be my favorite. The director- Michelle- is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Not the fake nice these other directors do to get you inside- but the genuine kindness that can be felt everyday when she greets you at the door. And his teachers - man He had a teacher for the Spring- Mrs Kelly who was tough but so so so good to him. She taught him sooo much and they used the Abeka Curriculum and I can seriously tell how much more prepared he is going to be for real school. Then his teacher over the summer was crying yesterday telling him bye and it brought tears to my eyes because I know they genuinely care about my baby. I never ONCE worried about leaving him there. I only wish we would have found this daycare sooner and been able to stay longer. Thank you so much for loving my baby like you have. I would recommend this place to EVERY momma I know We will for sure be back to visit

THE ONLY PLACE I WANT MY SON TO BE OUTSIDE OF WITH ME!!!! I…read morehave always been afraid of daycares since I've had a bad experience in the past BUT Ms DeDe is AMAZING with my son. We have been going to her for 6 months now and I am in love with her and her whole family. They treat my child like he is there's. He isn't a social baby and doesn't take to strangers at all but loves going to his DeDe. He is 23 months and counts to 10, knows all his colors, knows most shapes, knows all his capital letters and has learned new songs not played at home yet. Ms DeDe is always communicative when we come or go and sends updates when needed. I never feel rushed to leave or like we are a bother even when he's having a meltdown. WE LOVE YOU MS DEDE
