Too many times, African women have left salons feeling frustrated with their thick textured hair because these salons don’t have skilled and patient haircare providers who can manage afro-textured hair. At HairloomNG, we want to change that narrative, which is why we are known as one of the best natural hair salons in Abuja. Here’s how to spot a salon that truly respects and cares for natural hair.
Do they celebrate texture or try to change it?
If you visit a salon and the first suggestion when they see your hair, is that you use a chemical relaxer or heat straightening to make your hair ‘more manageable’, that’s a red flag.
Are their products natural-hair friendly?
Look for sulfate-free shampoos, deep conditioners, and scalp treatments tailored to your texture. Feel free to ask questions about the product ingredients and how it helps your specific hair texture.
How do the stylists communicate?
Do they:
– explain what they’re doing
– ask about your preferences
– educate you or let you know of any issues with your hair
– listen when you tell them what works for you?
It’s important that stylists maintain respect and transparency.
Is the environment comfortable?
Clean space, timely service, and a calm atmosphere say a lot.
What do their clients say?
Check Google reviews or Instagram comments. Read the complaints and criticisms from real clients and check how the salon responds to their clients. Real feedback reveals a lot.
Finding the right salon is a step toward healthier hair and a more affirming experience. Don’t settle. You deserve better, and we’re here to offer it. Hairloom Salon continues to strive to be one of the best natural hair salons in Abuja. If you live around Lugbe or Gwarinpa, contact us to book an appointment at any of our locations.
