Here in South Florida the Jamaicans, Haitians, and Dominicans are beast at natural hair “only if natural hair is their specialty “ otherwise these stylists specialize in borrowed hair.
One time the owner was busy, so a young girl was trying to comb my bush with a rat tail comb 😮 so i gave her my comb out my bag!! Then another girl set the smoke alarm off because she didnt know how much water can hide in my bush 😂 so I had to show her how to towel dry my hair!!! Luckily the owner was available to style and trim my hair!
Even *Black Stylists mess up 4C Hair.* It's not a Dominican thing, they know how to do Hair just fine. It's just that kinky afro textured hair they're not good at doing.
As a woman with 4z hair I have not had a problem until I left the Bronx. Do a roller set I bring my chi heat protection and don't flatiron it but the good ones don't ask to flat iron my hair
If yall know they can’t do certain hair textures then don’t go, it’s that simple. It’s not someone else’s fault if they don’t have a negative experience somewhere
@@nicoleayala4153she’s not saying it’s her fault people have bad experiences at Dominican hair salons, you’re missing the point, she’s simply just highlighting reality ( which is they cannot do everybody’s hair), wether or not people with tighter hair textures choose to go to these salons being aware of the fact, is their personal decision and has nothing to do with what she said.
Listen I'm from Brooklyn and i can tell you for a fact that some Dominican salons actually put relaxer in their "special" deep conditioners to tame 4b, 4c hair 😅
@@blessingscomewithpatienceThat’s not smart at all. Putting harsh chemicals into someone’s hair without them knowing? Wtf. That’s disgusting. Just say you don’t have the skill set for that hair type and go.
@@blessingscomewithpatienceABSOLUTELY NOT, don’t call yourself a hair stylist if you can not detangle 4c hair without changing its molecular structure. Nor should anyone ever relax or put cancer causing chemicals on your scalp without consent or permission. ITS WRONG AND THEIR ARE NO EXCUSES.
As a person who had a Dominican grandmother, she told me never go to the Dominicans, they burn ya hair out. 34 years later never been but I can still smell the burning hair when I walk pass their salons
Crazy how you allow other people control how you view others. It’s pretty sad to also see so many generalizations in the comments too. I can agree MANY do this. But there are definitely some Dominicans that do an amazing job without damaging your hair. That’s like saying I’m never gonna get box braids by Africans cause they pull too tight which leads to frontal hair loss. My friend is African and she doesn’t pull tight …
@@kathydelarosa1286the africans the own a salon (not everyone has friends that are african) did my hair when i was little n i’m tender headed so that was the first time i ever took a tylenol half b4 half after using my head hurts for a week and i simply cant look stright ahead always have my head tilted back but after that shit THREE WEEKS my scalp was so damn tender it hurt to sleep on i had to sleep on my face🧍🏾♀️my friend had the africans do her hair and her scalp was split after a week never went again if just abt everyone is having a horrible experience then no duh ppl won’t take the chance some dominicans that do hair put perms in ppl hair when they wash it and style it so yeah ppl have trust issues especially ppl who love their hair
True. I went to a couple places on occasion in Long Island where I didn’t have a problem. I went to another place where the owner was fine, but the next time I went, the employee ruined my hair and had the nerve to charge me extra even though my hair is not at all difficult to detangle - takes 10 minutes in 4 sections.
Growing up in Harlem, my friends, classmates and I who are all black Caribbean and American girls always got our hair cut off when we asked for TRIMS. The Dominican hair salons made sure our hair never went past our shoulders. We stopped going to Dominican hair salons and have enjoyed waist length natural 4a,b and c textured hair 🤷🏾♀️
This is so TRUE my cousin from Jersey had a Dominican hair stylist. My cousin is indigenous (Black Indian) and her dad is Scottish descent. And she used to call me upset all the time because she'd chop her hair off when she asked for a little trim (and she would ask in Spanish and English to make sure she understood). She liked her work and her prices but didn't like getting her hair cut off. Just like you said she would chop hair off and make sure it didn't get any longer. So I told her to stop going. I will trim her hair when she came back home.
I grew up in Brooklyn and had the same experience. I found an old school Black American stylist, and my hair grew back until I begged her for a relaxer. After growing it out, I never looked back, and my hair grew just fine. I choose to wear it short now, but it still grows when I let it.
True… they fried tf outta my hair and it’s 4b type… I had so much heat damage I couldn’t even get my natural hair back curly… it was so stringy… it’s been over 10 years and I’ll never go back to another Dominican shop
Anyone remember that shampoo called permasoft that used to be on the market? Same sh!t … it was quickly removed from the shelves once people figured it out …
My grandmother used to take me to Dominican salons and they frieeeeddd my hair. They would also loudly refuse to do my hair because I had "pelo malo" until someone was forced to or made my grandmother agree to relax my hair to make it easier for them. As soon as I could do my own hair, I haven't let anyone touch it since.
@@memyselfi1828 Thank you! I've been transitioning from straight to curly for the past few years and I'm proud to say my natural curl pattern came back!
Dominicans on the island are more versatile because they actually interact with people with kinky hair there. Don’t let them fool you, there are women with 4C hair on that island that are not Haitian.
they cant especially when they are secretly relaxing your hair. You'd think only Black girls with 4b and c would have issues. But I've had friends who had already bone-straight hair. She had dyed it blond and let the lady know. She literally put a relaxer in her hair. her scalp was red and the lady was saying it because she was moving too much. We reported her and sued. Many others had similar experiences. They are scissors, relaxers, and flat iron hungry.
Egyptians same way.....they secretly putting relaxer in products....my daughter's hair broke off in the back😅😅😅😅. We're staying natural from now on, or protective styles... Or go get a sew in would do you more justice...at least your hair still would be there
Yoooo!!! I never heard this… that would explain why my hair was so stringy… I thought it was heat damage… I’ve only used a perm twice in my whole 33 yrs… but this makes so much sense
I know a Dominican lady who does my 3c/4a hair so good, she’s gentle with it while washing and puts it in sections. The crazy part is that her hair is straight , so I was shocked that she knew what she was doing. She does a better job in the salon than the Dominicans with a similar hair texture to me.
She went to a proper beauty school. A good one will teach how to manage all types of hair textures. I learned that long ago from none other than 2 stylists - 1 Russian and the other Ukrainian.
I went to a Dominican salon 1 time for a blow out and it was beautiful. 1 week later when I washed my hair several big chunks were straight and wouldn’t revert back. I’ve never been back since
That's the exactly what happened to me. I had almost waist length hair and 3 weeks after I they did my hair, I went to wash my hair and it all came out in clumps! I was so fcking pissed off! NEVER AGAIN!
@@tottablue you can look it up. Scale of hair from straight to coiled 1-4 with abc to describe increasing tightness in wave to curl to coil. Very Afro textured coiled hair is 4c straightest possible fine hair 1a. It’s not a perfect representation but it’s a starting point for communicating hair type.
No ma’am, they actually know how to do 4c hair, you just need to find a good one, as far as my knowledge goes, in the US they aren’t many good dominican hairstylist, but since im dominican and i’ve been living here all my life, they are good hairstylist out there.
I'm from North Jersey and I go to the Dominicans 🇩🇴 every 2 weeks. I bring my own products and only let them blow my roots for special occasions. I never, never let them blow my hair straight. Plus I have a hair regimen which i rotate products. Other than that I have them wrap my hair in a doobie with pins. I have relaxed hair which is mid back length. You have to take charge, it's your hair, you tell them how you want it done. I love the Dominican salons. ❤
I do not bring my own products, but I have a great Dominican stylist in MD; but she lived in the Bronx for like 10 years. I'm from Brooklyn and I absolutely appreciate my hair dresser!! Been going to her almost a decade now!
They don’t like doing black women hair if it’s more course. I let a Dominican do my hair and she absolutely butchered my hair. And cut my hair so uneven. Never again.
Me, a Puerto Rican, going to the Puerto Rican salon around the corner 😂 I tell you, we will treat your hair right. No matter the texture. I have 20in long curly hair and it's high maintenance but it's always taken care of. ❤
😂😂😂😂 y’all want to hear a story about the last time I went to a Dominican salon? I walked in for a wash and set, she said “no honey, you need a perm” I said I just got one 2 maybe 3 weeks ago, she goes “whoever did your perm did it wrong! You need another one” I said “but you did my perm?!” And she said “oh I’m jus playing, sit!” I walked in with bra strap length hair, walked out with hair to my chin. Never went back! I went natural after that and now my hair is waist length when stretched. I was 18, I’m 34 now
Dominicans can do Dominican or mixed (back and white) hair, they can’t do actual afro-textured hair, or Asian hair, or even European hair… so your experience is going to vary wildly from someone else who has a different texture
@@msyemisi7930 think it may be because although there are plenty of Dominicans who are darker skinned and have Afro-like hair, their genetic makeup is different than that of an actual African/African Americans, or even other Caribbeans. The difference in their genetic variation may make their hair more “manageable” or easy to take care of by Dominican stylists, even if they look similar, there probably is a difference in texture when you touch it and in the curl pattern. It’s kind of like how a half black/half white woman is probably not going to have 4c hair the way a fully black woman may have, she may have something like 3 c hair, which from afar may look similar, but in terms of texture and maintenance is totally different. Hope this made sense :)
@lorijeneteiv5673 Why did you write all of that 🤔🤣 people are to focused on hair. Who cares🤷🏽♀️ I'm well educated, and I'm fully aware of what Dominicans are mixed with👌🏽 have a good day. I digress from this thread💜
@@msyemisi7930I don’t think there was any reason to be rude, I wrote it simply as part of the conversation. Didn’t mean to be condescending or say you weren’t “educated”. Regardless, have a blessed day and soften up that heart a little bit! ❤️
@@Bunnyblue08there’s no different mix in them, their hair is just used to being straightened because most Dominicans are anti-kinky hair so they’ve been training their hair since childhood to stay straight.
I’m a 57 y/o Puerto Rican. Just got my hair cut from waist length to neck since starting my gray hair journey. I care for & have always done my own hair. I have only been to salon a few times in my life & it’s only been to a Dominican Salon. Love my healthy hair. Thank God they’ve never failed me! 🇵🇷🇩🇴
The conditioner is really soft because they mix relaxer in it. A Dominican convinced me to relax my hair when I first went natural. The second time I went natural, a Jamaican put a patch in my hair, so I had to cut everything off. After it grew again, a Haitian fried it. I’m completely done with hairstylists and I will be doing my own hair from now on.
@@krystingrant6292My hair is doing that on its own. It didnt grow for the longest time without supplements. Then it started growing on its own but started thinning like crazy. Its still thinning but growing very fast.
I dont encourage any black sister go to a Dominican stylist unless the goal oa to damage their hair. Now that they are good at and naming their kyods crazy names: Denzel Usnavy Hernandez Suarez (U.S.Navy)😅
I go to a Dominican salon in NJ. I can confirm her special conditioner has no relaxer or chemical that will leave my hair damaged or straight. It reverts back to its natural curly state with no issues. I have 4A,B&C hair type. And yea, you can have 3 different hair types on 1 head.
Where in Jersey I just moved out here but the horror stories and one time experience is what has me second guessing but I need my hair done without paying half my rent for it.
We say they _can't do hair_ bcs they will sizzle n fry ya hair off. They don't care bout hair health, length retention, or ya curl pattern coming back. Only how straight it is and will secretly perm it if they feel like it
They be putting perm in they conditioner .. u go in curly , leave out bone straight , 2 weeks u wash ur hair on ur own ur curls are DOA … up there with the angels bless their curls lawd 🙌🏽
First off a relaxer can't survive on wet hair or with conditioner. People have been saying this for years and It's not true. You all really don't understand how chemicals and the balance of them works. The reason some one's curl pattern has been altered is due to heat damage or just plain damage from neglect.
For black women. We shouldn’t go to the Dominican salon frequently. It’s best to only go about 3x MAX a year and preferably in the fall/winter time because it will hold better. They use extreme heat which is not good at all so it will come out shiny and super straight but black people can get severe heat damage if constantly going every 2 weeks. And it will stop your hair growth as well.. I been stop going to them all together an iont go to the African salons neither because they grip your hair too hard. I found a personal stylist. It’s best to find someone with over 30 years of experience n have pics to show you that they can do EVERY hair texture ❤
Ufff I’m Nicaraguan went to a salon the hairdresser was Dominican she gave me her homemade treatment for my hair didn’t charge for my cuts she was so sweet and I want to go back only to her
If so many people are saying it, there’s some truth to it. Many type 4 haired women have had the experience of having our hair damaged by the Dominicans. They’ll either fry it off or severely damage it with a secret relaxer. I know a person who spent years of her life going to Dominican hair salon regularly(like bi-weekly) and their hair growth was stagnant. It was falling out, choppy and dry as ever no matter what they did. All of a sudden they stopped and went natural, hair started flourishing.
The Dominican Republic is predominantly Black though and one of the Blackest Countries in Latin America. Crillos are hard to come by, even in places like Cibao and the "Mestizas" are really "Zambos". Don't try to school a Latina on Latinas. 😂
@@vampsirski4843more than two third of the Dominicans have black in them or are pure. I'm telling you, just like any culture, there are bad hairdressers. Just that white people dont complain if the hairdresser over cuts. I have always told my girl, cut what needs to go. She only cuts what has to go. I'm under armpit length. Lost most my hair post covid in 2020. We cut my hair short to start again.
@@vampsirski4843 They all started off as a black in my mind, they just don’t like to acknowledge it unless it’s beneficial so I don’t see why we would support them. My point was… go to those who support and participate black culture.
Be careful with " homemade conditioners " ladies; there was/are big issues with stylists putting relaxers inside of conditioner to make hair more manageable for them. Always ask what's in it or tell them not to put it on you. 💚💚💚 Edit: It's OK to advocate for yourself. Don't be afraid ! God bless .
They low key use relaxer and said derogatory things about me in Spanish. Because I'm from Panama I look Black but understood everything they said *"Ella's se ve Mal, you pelo* *Malo"* Nope, no Dominican salons for me Sis. But I'm glad you had a good experience😊
My daughter is mixed and I taker her to a Dominican lady. DD wanted her hair straightened for a bday. The stylist look at her hair and said nope. We're going to moisturize and tame those curls. Bring her by for a monthly treatment, all natural stuff, and my DD curls are so soft and bouncy. Hydration is the key.
No one ever said Dominicans can’t do hair ! I think it’s just the fact for most 3c-4c curly girls , they end up getting heat damage because of the method they use to get the hair straight . Too much heat . You don’t need all that heat to get that hair type straight ,which is not understood .
Personally… I was super disrespected in a Dominican shop; twice. First time the dude in front accused me of having extensions and tried to charge me double. Then the bitch that did my blow out was burning me… on purpose. Then the 2nd time they cut wayyyy more than asked without my consent because she felt like it. Never again.
Funny you saying "dominicans" in a degrading way for doing something to you when people from any other country could do the same while also you looking like any average dominican girl from Washington heights 😂. As a matter of fact I've seen darker dominican girls than you light skin colorists.
They can’t do type 4 hair. That’s just the truth. They can’t do it because they don’t want to do it because many think type 4 hair is lesser and will try to straighten it using harmful methods like relaxers, heat on the highest setting with no heat protection, cutting a lot of it off ect. Anyone who has type 4 hair should never go to a Dominican salon. Those with this hair type either take care of our hair ourselves or go to a natural hair stylist who knows what’s they are doing and how to work with type 4 hair. If a hair stylist HAS to straighten your hair to work with it they are not skilled. As soon as they try with me I stop them and walk out never to return. Protect your crown y’all.
It's not that they can't do hair, it's that they damage/sneak relax kinky hair. Obviously they don't ALL do that but after having this happen to me multiple times at different salons I just don't take the chance anymore.
Listen, you get the best conditioning at Dominican hair salons, and they don’t Charge you a million bucks for Everything! Don’t go if you’re doing better elsewhere.
I'm black and natural. My hair is coily. I go to Migdalia in Kenner Louisiana. She is amazing. Her shop is quaint and peaceful. She only has 2 clients at a time...No fake conditioner (relaxer) She's professional and kind. She's a beast with the blow out. Hair is always bone straight. Hair curls right up when it gets wet. She's a blessing
I’m a black woman with 4C hair, with tight coils. Honestly, the Dominicans are the only ones that seem to understand and can handle my hair. They don’t charge me extra for long hair, sometimes I have to remind them I am black and I’m not supposed to have bone straight hair. Other than that, no problems. There are unscrupulous stylists of every race, and prejudice against 4C hair is prevalent in black hair stylists too. In my lifetime, I’ve had the worst experiences with Jamaican and Black American hairstylists. I just do my own hair now.
I'm from the south. They learn different. They will teach you how to care for your hair in the between time and get upset at you😅 if you come back in looking like a train wreck😅 but they gone do you right no matter what.
I’m an Afro American woman with 4C hair and they did me RIGHT! 😂 my mom took me to a Dominican shop when I was in high school and I honestly didn’t think they could do it but baaaabbbyyy my hair was so soft, bouncy, they didn’t fry it and she wrapped it for me at the end. Just do your research because some will actually take care of your hair and others will just do it.
@@PeaceOwtYT she used silicon mix. She told me where to get it and before I locked my hair it was a staple of mine. No damage this way, sorry you went through that love 🫶🏾
4C Hair done by a Dominican Hairdresser, NEVER had an issue, in fact, all of the Hairdresser in this Salon has a knack for growing hair, also I bring in my own shampoo and conditioner ( Organic )
Dominicans can blow out hair but that's it. And coming from a Dominican person myself. I've noticed that in NYC they add relaxer to shampoo without telling you. That's a no-no at Dominicans hair salons in Europe. Ps: Nobody came in selling food? 😂😂
I've been going to Dominican 🇩🇴 Hair Salons exclusively for most of my Life. No one makes my hair look more beautiful. I recently moved one thousand miled away across the country and I am going to have to find a new salon. 😢 It is a nerve-wracking task having to find a new place to get my hair done.
I’m Dominican and I’ve been to so many Salons …. LET ME TELL YOU!! A veces these women have the audacity to tell you if you have 3b/c or curlier hair types that your hair is either too curly or you have bad hair. Some have also bleached my hair so badly & fried it that my hair became so thin. Eventually I learned how to do my own hair but before that I went to a family friend of my mine to do my hair and she always did amazing. Just make sure that your salon has licensed people who know about hair.
I don't know why, we have so many people with curly or afro hair, yet we don't have many people with the appropriate knowledge to style it, dominicans always just want to straight it. (Im a a dominican hair with curly hair, been forced to straighten it most of my life, going all natural now). We should really start learning to treat this types of hair.
My hair grew so much under Dominican guidance. Even though we communicated with mostly hand gestures, I always looked fabulous and my hair grew to my waist, even though I was relaxed. Miss you Ingrid!
My stylist Zuli was Dominican ! She was the best I ever had! Unfortunately she had a premature baby, injured and ( luckily got married). I ended up getting locs but she grew my hair past my bra! She was the best !!! Love you Zuli always ❤
I've had SEVERAL black stylists over the years and 2 Dominican stylists.... I 100% stand by my Dominican stylists who have an unmatched craft. They are sisters and truly know their way around kinky/curly hair. 🤗
Y'all are so quick to show y'all's self hating asses when it comes to this convo. This isn't a black vs Dominican thing, this is a 'a lot of Dominican hair salons are texturist as shit and don't know how to do type 4 hair' conversation. Y'all are lame lmao.
I went to the Dominican Hair Spot for years in Astoria Queens. Sonya did my relaxers, doobie wraps and trims. My hair stayed healthy❤. I'm in NC now. Haven't gotten my hair done down here since😔
My hair had a hard time returning it's curls after them. Thank goodness my hair grew out and my texture returned. I seen complaints on a Dominican website for that hair salon the same thing.
Yes my hair is finally coming back and yes they use to much heat. And even though I took my own shampoo and conditioner they might’ve still put something else in my hair 😮
I used to go to them when i lived in atlanta just for the famed blow out every once in awhile. But had to stop for the same reason. Its was bone straight but didnt last long at all....one drop of water its gone...😅
Idk who says that Dominican can't do hair and I haven't been to NY in awhile, but I know New York is definitely obsessed with Dominican hair salons lol
I’m 43 and I have always always known and heard that Dominican can definitely do hair!❤ but as a black woman who has natural hair/locs for over 20 years be careful because a lot of times was labeled as conditioner is relaxer. Your hair will definitely come out looking amazing but just know what is being applied to your hair especially if you don’t speak Spanish.
That's a lie if I ain't heard! I was in New York back in 07 and Dominicans did my hair, talk about flowing in the wind! I love them and they get much respect! Shalom ✌🏾 and blessings
They had my hair growing long, bouncing and swinging, even with a relaxer. They were the reason I was inspired to go natural, which ironically is why I stopped going. I didn’t need touch ups nearly as often, and used less heat and manipulation as with others. My hair flourished with no chemicals, and using their techniques. They were running the hair salon game in NY for a good while. On the rare occasion I need a blow out, no one does it better than Milagros, my old stylist.
@@Sheena_the_Litesame. They would always have my hair looking better than a perm. The one I used to go to closed down years ago and I have never found another like that one.
@@oneidysilvestre2352 Yes, went from 5 till about 23. After 15 I went natural and I would go with my hair washed and detangled because they would comb my wet 3c hair from the root 😭😭 and I would only get rollers because they would burn me and my hair with the blower 🤦🏽♀️
Your hair came out beautiful. But, the curls are soooo gorgeous. Curly hair is almost always dryer than straight hair. So u can use a leave in conditioner daily to moisturize and add shine. Both styles look great.

I grew up in Brooklyn and had the same experience. I found an old school Black American stylist, and my hair grew back until I begged her for a relaxer. After growing it out, I never looked back, and my hair grew just fine. I choose to wear it short now, but it still grows when I let it.
It’s because they are notorious for frying type 4 hair.
True… they fried tf outta my hair and it’s 4b type… I had so much heat damage I couldn’t even get my natural hair back curly… it was so stringy… it’s been over 10 years and I’ll never go back to another Dominican shop
And putting relaxer in the shampoo
Honestly, the opposite is true some hair salons are better with type 4 hair and just don't do well with other textures
Yea i have scalp burns from being under the dryer for so long then the heat damage to my curls. You can’t frequent if you want to keep your curls
📝 😅
“I feel my hair get instantly softer” Thats a perm mixed in that special conditioner 😂😂 they love sneaking a perm in .
Anyone remember that shampoo called permasoft that used to be on the market? Same sh!t … it was quickly removed from the shelves once people figured it out …
@@SteenyBeanHow that shampoo worked like a perm with no neutralizer?🤔
What? Wow, wow, wow
Really dang 😂😂😂
Wouldn’t that make the hair straight? Perm straight
My grandmother used to take me to Dominican salons and they frieeeeddd my hair. They would also loudly refuse to do my hair because I had "pelo malo" until someone was forced to or made my grandmother agree to relax my hair to make it easier for them. As soon as I could do my own hair, I haven't let anyone touch it since.
I was doing my hair at 10 years old. Sad but true ❤
Wow. Lo siento. Nothing bad about your hair.
@@memyselfi1828 Thank you! I've been transitioning from straight to curly for the past few years and I'm proud to say my natural curl pattern came back!
Dominicans on the island are more versatile because they actually interact with people with kinky hair there. Don’t let them fool you, there are women with 4C hair on that island that are not Haitian.
That secret homemade deep conditioner is where they be hiding the relaxer for us 4c girls 🕵🏾
No frrr😭
First hand experience 😢
😂😂😂😂
Wild
THIIIIIIIIIIS - happened to me (type 3/4)
they cant especially when they are secretly relaxing your hair. You'd think only Black girls with 4b and c would have issues. But I've had friends who had already bone-straight hair. She had dyed it blond and let the lady know. She literally put a relaxer in her hair. her scalp was red and the lady was saying it because she was moving too much. We reported her and sued. Many others had similar experiences. They are scissors, relaxers, and flat iron hungry.
Egyptians same way.....they secretly putting relaxer in products....my daughter's hair broke off in the back😅😅😅😅. We're staying natural from now on, or protective styles...
Or go get a sew in would do you more justice...at least your hair still would be there
Boom happened to me.. thats whats in the "secret" conditioner
@@shanon1144exactly what I was thinking, this homemade conditioner...smh
As if I didn't have enough anxiety, now I have to sniff everything in the salon to make sure they didn't secretly put relaxer in it 🙃
Yoooo!!! I never heard this… that would explain why my hair was so stringy… I thought it was heat damage… I’ve only used a perm twice in my whole 33 yrs… but this makes so much sense
I know a Dominican lady who does my 3c/4a hair so good, she’s gentle with it while washing and puts it in sections. The crazy part is that her hair is straight , so I was shocked that she knew what she was doing. She does a better job in the salon than the Dominicans with a similar hair texture to me.
She went to a proper beauty school. A good one will teach how to manage all types of hair textures. I learned that long ago from none other than 2 stylists - 1 Russian and the other Ukrainian.
I went to a Dominican salon 1 time for a blow out and it was beautiful. 1 week later when I washed my hair several big chunks were straight and wouldn’t revert back. I’ve never been back since
That's the exactly what happened to me. I had almost waist length hair and 3 weeks after I they did my hair, I went to wash my hair and it all came out in clumps! I was so fcking pissed off! NEVER AGAIN!
The secret “conditioner” actually has RELAXER cream in it 😢
I was sooo shook when I found this out😮
That's what I heard soo many ppl say
😮😮😮 really?
I was just about to say. Better ask what those ingredients are. I wonder if the content creator knows she’s no longer “natural”?
i came here to say this😂😂😂😂😂😂
Because you don’t have 4C hair 😭😭😭 when you have 4C hair they literally yank your hair straight until it breaks off
My mom has fine straight hair and they fried that shit in pr.
What's 4C hair ? and how many types of hair are there? I just thought it was straight, curly or wavy hair.
@@tottablue you can look it up. Scale of hair from straight to coiled 1-4 with abc to describe increasing tightness in wave to curl to coil. Very Afro textured coiled hair is 4c straightest possible fine hair 1a. It’s not a perfect representation but it’s a starting point for communicating hair type.
@@tottabluewhat texture do you think an afro is?
No ma’am, they actually know how to do 4c hair, you just need to find a good one, as far as my knowledge goes, in the US they aren’t many good dominican hairstylist, but since im dominican and i’ve been living here all my life, they are good hairstylist out there.
Boi they be putting the blow dry heat on 1,000 degrees 💀 😅
I'm from North Jersey and I go to the Dominicans 🇩🇴 every 2 weeks. I bring my own products and only let them blow my roots for special occasions. I never, never let them blow my hair straight. Plus I have a hair regimen which i rotate products. Other than that I have them wrap my hair in a doobie with pins. I have relaxed hair which is mid back length. You have to take charge, it's your hair, you tell them how you want it done. I love the Dominican salons. ❤
I do not bring my own products, but I have a great Dominican stylist in MD; but she lived in the Bronx for like 10 years. I'm from Brooklyn and I absolutely appreciate my hair dresser!! Been going to her almost a decade now!
Oh! I also just get my roots blown out after a roller set. I then leave with pin curls.
Smart
ExactlyI live in CT my family lives in New Jersey. I used to drive to Jersey City every other week used to cost 15.00..
Same and I’m from north Jersey also! My lady helped my hair grow
That secret conditioner they use is actually what contains the chemicals to help get hair super straight.
yeah... they put perm in with your conditioner
Yes! I was just about to type this! I’m good lol
I heard they put perm in conditioner too^
@@Sweet_OniThat's not true. If perm was in her hair under that drier, she would be on fire and left with no hair.
@@traceytracey3756Not if it's neutralized honey
They don’t like doing black women hair if it’s more course. I let a Dominican do my hair and she absolutely butchered my hair. And cut my hair so uneven. Never again.
Coarse*
That’s why they charge $300 for a “curly” cut! To deter people with curlier hair away
FACTS
Same here NEVER!
Exactly
Me, a Puerto Rican, going to the Puerto Rican salon around the corner 😂 I tell you, we will treat your hair right. No matter the texture. I have 20in long curly hair and it's high maintenance but it's always taken care of. ❤
😂😂😂😂 y’all want to hear a story about the last time I went to a Dominican salon? I walked in for a wash and set, she said “no honey, you need a perm” I said I just got one 2 maybe 3 weeks ago, she goes “whoever did your perm did it wrong! You need another one” I said “but you did my perm?!” And she said “oh I’m jus playing, sit!” I walked in with bra strap length hair, walked out with hair to my chin. Never went back! I went natural after that and now my hair is waist length when stretched. I was 18, I’m 34 now
I had one tell me I need a perm during my touchup appointment. Like...the relaxer could not be more fresh than as of 15 minutes ago.
I've been rocking with dominicans since 2009! I love my stylist, Angela, she's the best 🎉🎉
Dominicans can do Dominican or mixed (back and white) hair, they can’t do actual afro-textured hair, or Asian hair, or even European hair… so your experience is going to vary wildly from someone else who has a different texture
Maybe in the states, but this is not true for the actual island. Plenty of black people with kinky hair there (that are not Haitian).
Dominicans can't do natural hair it's a fact Caribbean people knows this now they're trying to because they have to accept that they're are black 😂
If anything, textured hair is what Dominicans predominantly have…I ain’t never seen a Dominican with “European hair”
Not true at all.
@@yaneyrydelfin5959exactly
Dominicans are good at doing mixed and soft curly hair. Not afro texture.
Have you ever felt a afro? It's usually very soft! That's weird because DR have plenty of woman with afro textured hair😂🤷🏽♀️
@@msyemisi7930 think it may be because although there are plenty of Dominicans who are darker skinned and have Afro-like hair, their genetic makeup is different than that of an actual African/African Americans, or even other Caribbeans. The difference in their genetic variation may make their hair more “manageable” or easy to take care of by Dominican stylists, even if they look similar, there probably is a difference in texture when you touch it and in the curl pattern. It’s kind of like how a half black/half white woman is probably not going to have 4c hair the way a fully black woman may have, she may have something like 3 c hair, which from afar may look similar, but in terms of texture and maintenance is totally different. Hope this made sense :)
@lorijeneteiv5673 Why did you write all of that 🤔🤣 people are to focused on hair. Who cares🤷🏽♀️ I'm well educated, and I'm fully aware of what Dominicans are mixed with👌🏽 have a good day. I digress from this thread💜
@@msyemisi7930I don’t think there was any reason to be rude, I wrote it simply as part of the conversation. Didn’t mean to be condescending or say you weren’t “educated”. Regardless, have a blessed day and soften up that heart a little bit! ❤️
@@Bunnyblue08there’s no different mix in them, their hair is just used to being straightened because most Dominicans are anti-kinky hair so they’ve been training their hair since childhood to stay straight.
“This is why I have a strong neck” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was looking for this comment!!!!! That was hilarious.
I’m a 57 y/o Puerto Rican. Just got my hair cut from waist length to neck since starting my gray hair journey. I care for & have always done my own hair. I have only been to salon a few times in my life & it’s only been to a Dominican Salon. Love my healthy hair. Thank God they’ve never failed me! 🇵🇷🇩🇴
The conditioner is really soft because they mix relaxer in it. A Dominican convinced me to relax my hair when I first went natural. The second time I went natural, a Jamaican put a patch in my hair, so I had to cut everything off. After it grew again, a Haitian fried it. I’m completely done with hairstylists and I will be doing my own hair from now on.
Damn, 🥴not the Dominicans, the Jamaicans & the Haitians!🙃
That's crazy I went to a Haitian my hair grew but was mad thin it would grow but was thin
😂😂😂😂
@@krystingrant6292My hair is doing that on its own. It didnt grow for the longest time without supplements. Then it started growing on its own but started thinning like crazy. Its still thinning but growing very fast.
@@niachannelle4047😂😂😂
Dominicans don’t do black hair properly. Most times
Because we don’t have the same hair type as African Americans
@mhines1994 no excuse. They should know how to do all hair types if they attended cosmetology school. And if they can't then they should say that.
I dont encourage any black sister go to a Dominican stylist unless the goal oa to damage their hair. Now that they are good at and naming their kyods crazy names: Denzel Usnavy Hernandez Suarez (U.S.Navy)😅
@@mhines1994 there’s plenty of afro latinos with kinky hair. but it’s probably always permed so you wouldn’t know
They gave the same ass hair
I go to a Dominican salon in NJ. I can confirm her special conditioner has no relaxer or chemical that will leave my hair damaged or straight.
It reverts back to its natural curly state with no issues. I have 4A,B&C hair type. And yea, you can have 3 different hair types on 1 head.
do you go to the one in pleasantville, or AC?
Hello me too😊
Where in Jersey I just moved out here but the horror stories and one time experience is what has me second guessing but I need my hair done without paying half my rent for it.
Me too with 3 diff textures 3c, 4a&b
Walk in with 4c hair and see which special conditioner they use to sneak a perm in. antiBlackness abounds
We say they _can't do hair_ bcs they will sizzle n fry ya hair off. They don't care bout hair health, length retention, or ya curl pattern coming back. Only how straight it is and will secretly perm it if they feel like it
So you don’t just go to black owned salons?
My hair ended up FRIED, DIED and LAID TO THE SIDE😢 That blow drying was brutal on my hair.
🤣🤣🤣
The heat damage of it all. You couldn’t pay me to go through that
It’s wasn’t the blow dry the use a straightening chemical in there shampoo
I’m hollering 😢😂
Hell yeah , I went once and never went back. Blow dryer hot af
They be putting perm in they conditioner .. u go in curly , leave out bone straight , 2 weeks u wash ur hair on ur own ur curls are DOA … up there with the angels bless their curls lawd 🙌🏽
First off a relaxer can't survive on wet hair or with conditioner. People have been saying this for years and It's not true. You all really don't understand how chemicals and the balance of them works. The reason some one's curl pattern has been altered is due to heat damage or just plain damage from neglect.
No, not with the angels! 😂 I'm dead..😂
😂😂
Thats why I always bring my own shampoo/conditioner
For black women. We shouldn’t go to the Dominican salon frequently. It’s best to only go about 3x MAX a year and preferably in the fall/winter time because it will hold better. They use extreme heat which is not good at all so it will come out shiny and super straight but black people can get severe heat damage if constantly going every 2 weeks. And it will stop your hair growth as well.. I been stop going to them all together an iont go to the African salons neither because they grip your hair too hard. I found a personal stylist. It’s best to find someone with over 30 years of experience n have pics to show you that they can do EVERY hair texture ❤
Ufff I’m Nicaraguan went to a salon the hairdresser was Dominican she gave me her homemade treatment for my hair didn’t charge for my cuts she was so sweet and I want to go back only to her
If so many people are saying it, there’s some truth to it. Many type 4 haired women have had the experience of having our hair damaged by the Dominicans. They’ll either fry it off or severely damage it with a secret relaxer. I know a person who spent years of her life going to Dominican hair salon regularly(like bi-weekly) and their hair growth was stagnant. It was falling out, choppy and dry as ever no matter what they did. All of a sudden they stopped and went natural, hair started flourishing.
EXACTLY! Like don't invalidate Black women's experiences bc yours was good
@@Bih1stOfAll Dominicans are Black. 😐
@@Gatita_927not all of them are . they come in different races and mixes .
The Dominican Republic is predominantly Black though and one of the Blackest Countries in Latin America. Crillos are hard to come by, even in places like Cibao and the "Mestizas" are really "Zambos".
Don't try to school a Latina on Latinas. 😂
As a black female make sure you get a dominican with knowledge about black hair
Or just go to a black stylist. We stay building others up🤦🏽♀️
@@NikkiiPopeDominicans can be black lol. The same way you go to certain African branders since not all of them do good either.
They have black hair what r you on about ? Stay generalizing foh
@@vampsirski4843more than two third of the Dominicans have black in them or are pure. I'm telling you, just like any culture, there are bad hairdressers. Just that white people dont complain if the hairdresser over cuts. I have always told my girl, cut what needs to go. She only cuts what has to go. I'm under armpit length. Lost most my hair post covid in 2020. We cut my hair short to start again.
@@vampsirski4843 They all started off as a black in my mind, they just don’t like to acknowledge it unless it’s beneficial so I don’t see why we would support them. My point was… go to those who support and participate black culture.
Straightened look beautiful.. but her natural curls 😍
They aren’t my natural curls lol I got these using flexi rods but thank you!!!
“Muchacha pon la cabeza dura!” I felt that 😂😂😂
Be careful with " homemade conditioners " ladies; there was/are big issues with stylists putting relaxers inside of conditioner to make hair more manageable for them. Always ask what's in it or tell them not to put it on you. 💚💚💚
Edit: It's OK to advocate for yourself. Don't be afraid ! God bless .
I took my own shampoo and conditioner
They low key use relaxer and said derogatory things about me in Spanish. Because I'm from Panama I look Black but understood everything they said *"Ella's se ve Mal, you pelo* *Malo"* Nope, no Dominican salons for me Sis. But I'm glad you had a good experience😊
They treated me like dirt too and I'm Puerto Rican.
Wow...
Translation please!
@@mazal9895 something about bad hair
How you gon say that but not translate what they were saying about your hair in English? 😩
Lol it’s giving “muchacha pon la cabeza dura.” So much nostalgia just from that statement alone lol
My daughter is mixed and I taker her to a Dominican lady. DD wanted her hair straightened for a bday. The stylist look at her hair and said nope. We're going to moisturize and tame those curls. Bring her by for a monthly treatment, all natural stuff, and my DD curls are so soft and bouncy. Hydration is the key.
No one ever said Dominicans can’t do hair ! I think it’s just the fact for most 3c-4c curly girls , they end up getting heat damage because of the method they use to get the hair straight . Too much heat . You don’t need all that heat to get that hair type straight ,which is not understood .
And it still don’t be straight enough! Lol just damaged
Imma say it. Dominicans cant do hair. But are experts are naming their kids bizarre names. Ismary Hairy De Los Santos....Hairy js pronounced Heidi😂
So how do you get 4c hair straight in a healthy way???
Sooooo in other words your saying....DOMINICANS CAN'T DO HAIR!!! SMH!!
Personally… I was super disrespected in a Dominican shop; twice. First time the dude in front accused me of having extensions and tried to charge me double. Then the bitch that did my blow out was burning me… on purpose. Then the 2nd time they cut wayyyy more than asked without my consent because she felt like it. Never again.
The Egyptians take off too much hair also
They're rude people on the low we gave them all about in the English Caribbean very selfish 😒
Oh yeah, you ask them for just a trim and you leave with 4 inches missing
I had my hair straightened (type 4) and she cut it… without asking. I feel like I’m at a huge disadvantage for not knowing Spanish 😭😭
Funny you saying "dominicans" in a degrading way for doing something to you when people from any other country could do the same while also you looking like any average dominican girl from Washington heights 😂. As a matter of fact I've seen darker dominican girls than you light skin colorists.
They can’t do type 4 hair. That’s just the truth. They can’t do it because they don’t want to do it because many think type 4 hair is lesser and will try to straighten it using harmful methods like relaxers, heat on the highest setting with no heat protection, cutting a lot of it off ect.
Anyone who has type 4 hair should never go to a Dominican salon. Those with this hair type either take care of our hair ourselves or go to a natural hair stylist who knows what’s they are doing and how to work with type 4 hair.
If a hair stylist HAS to straighten your hair to work with it they are not skilled. As soon as they try with me I stop them and walk out never to return.
Protect your crown y’all.
I got mine done last week and was happy. She did treatment's to get it healthy, a nice trim and style. I will continue to go.
It's not that they can't do hair, it's that they damage/sneak relax kinky hair. Obviously they don't ALL do that but after having this happen to me multiple times at different salons I just don't take the chance anymore.
Listen, you get the best conditioning at Dominican hair salons, and they don’t
Charge you a million bucks for Everything! Don’t go if you’re doing better elsewhere.
@@user-ss7ht2bp3myou must not be from NYC. These losers charge for every damn thing, and are quite expensive.
I'm black and natural. My hair is coily. I go to Migdalia in Kenner Louisiana. She is amazing. Her shop is quaint and peaceful. She only has 2 clients at a time...No fake conditioner (relaxer) She's professional and kind. She's a beast with the blow out. Hair is always bone straight. Hair curls right up when it gets wet. She's a blessing
Ayeeeeeee I’m glad you found your forever stylist 🫶🏼
I’m a black woman with 4C hair, with tight coils. Honestly, the Dominicans are the only ones that seem to understand and can handle my hair. They don’t charge me extra for long hair, sometimes I have to remind them I am black and I’m not supposed to have bone straight hair. Other than that, no problems. There are unscrupulous stylists of every race, and prejudice against 4C hair is prevalent in black hair stylists too. In my lifetime, I’ve had the worst experiences with Jamaican and Black American hairstylists. I just do my own hair now.
Oh I live in Gretna, can she color
I'm from the south. They learn different. They will teach you how to care for your hair in the between time and get upset at you😅 if you come back in looking like a train wreck😅 but they gone do you right no matter what.
Wish I was in kenner..Kenner... It'd be Coushatta Day!! I moved back home to New York though...so I can't have either 😢
I have only had Dominican stylists for the past 12 years. The healthiest my hair has even been and it’s grown to my lower back.
I'm black and my hair stylish is Dominican 🎉🎉
Great so your both black Dominican is a nationality not a race
I’m an Afro American woman with 4C hair and they did me RIGHT! 😂 my mom took me to a Dominican shop when I was in high school and I honestly didn’t think they could do it but baaaabbbyyy my hair was so soft, bouncy, they didn’t fry it and she wrapped it for me at the end. Just do your research because some will actually take care of your hair and others will just do it.
That's right.
Gurl it was a relaxer in that “special conditioner” but I’m sure the damaged hair grew out since then
@@PeaceOwtYT she used silicon mix. She told me where to get it and before I locked my hair it was a staple of mine. No damage this way, sorry you went through that love 🫶🏾

They gave you a relaxer lol
4C Hair done by a Dominican Hairdresser, NEVER had an issue, in fact, all of the Hairdresser in this Salon has a knack for growing hair, also I bring in my own shampoo and conditioner ( Organic )
They can do hair, and I love their treatments products and colors
They add perm to the hair products without your permission....if u wanted to stay natural u r in for a rude awakening.
Stop lying they press your shit and you wanna say is perm in the products
I can believe it
not all. the ones with licenses in cosmetology know better
It depends on your hair type. Type 4hair relaxed or natural do not go. Your hair will break off.
I have course type 4 hair and never had that issue. I guess it depends on the stylist.
Nope, if there's nobody trying to sell you SOMETHING, I'd question whether you're in the right salon, LOVE THIS🤗🤣🤣
Dominicans can blow out hair but that's it. And coming from a Dominican person myself. I've noticed that in NYC they add relaxer to shampoo without telling you. That's a no-no at Dominicans hair salons in Europe.

I’m Dominican and I’ve been to so many Salons …. LET ME TELL YOU!! A veces these women have the audacity to tell you if you have 3b/c or curlier hair types that your hair is either too curly or you have bad hair. Some have also bleached my hair so badly & fried it that my hair became so thin. Eventually I learned how to do my own hair but before that I went to a family friend of my mine to do my hair and she always did amazing. Just make sure that your salon has licensed people who know about hair.
I don't know why, we have so many people with curly or afro hair, yet we don't have many people with the appropriate knowledge to style it, dominicans always just want to straight it. (Im a a dominican hair with curly hair, been forced to straighten it most of my life, going all natural now). We should really start learning to treat this types of hair.
My Dominican Hair stylist is a the best !
My hair grew so much under Dominican guidance. Even though we communicated with mostly hand gestures, I always looked fabulous and my hair grew to my waist, even though I was relaxed. Miss you Ingrid!
If you have curls, you will leave with heat damage
And secretly use relaxers on you as it's in the conditioner
I love your natural Curls 😍
Wow! Looks amazing. I love that there’s a snack section,,, genius.
My stylist Zuli was Dominican ! She was the best I ever had! Unfortunately she had a premature baby, injured and ( luckily got married). I ended up getting locs but she grew my hair past my bra! She was the best !!! Love you Zuli always ❤

I went to the Dominican Hair Spot for years in Astoria Queens. Sonya did my relaxers, doobie wraps and trims. My hair stayed healthy❤. I'm in NC now. Haven't gotten my hair done down here since😔
My hair had a hard time returning it's curls after them. Thank goodness my hair grew out and my texture returned. I seen complaints on a Dominican website for that hair salon the same thing.
Yes my hair is finally coming back and yes they use to much heat. And even though I took my own shampoo and conditioner they might’ve still put something else in my hair 😮
I used to go to them when i lived in atlanta just for the famed blow out every once in awhile. But had to stop for the same reason. Its was bone straight but didnt last long at all....one drop of water its gone...😅
My hairdresser is Brazilian. She's wonderful and I love her! Does a fantastic job on my hair every time.
I rocked with the Dominicans for years they do great hair😊

Idk who says that Dominican can't do hair and I haven't been to NY in awhile, but I know New York is definitely obsessed with Dominican hair salons lol
Girl read thru some of these comments 😅 ppl be saying it but I had to hold it down for my stylist 💜
I’m 43 and I have always always known and heard that Dominican can definitely do hair!❤ but as a black woman who has natural hair/locs for over 20 years be careful because a lot of times was labeled as conditioner is relaxer. Your hair will definitely come out looking amazing but just know what is being applied to your hair especially if you don’t speak Spanish.
Gorgeous hair. Gorgeous woman
They are the best if you ask me, and the experience is very entertaining. I just love them.
That's a lie if I ain't heard! I was in New York back in 07 and Dominicans did my hair, talk about flowing in the wind! I love them and they get much respect! Shalom ✌🏾 and blessings
They had my hair growing long, bouncing and swinging, even with a relaxer. They were the reason I was inspired to go natural, which ironically is why I stopped going. I didn’t need touch ups nearly as often, and used less heat and manipulation as with others. My hair flourished with no chemicals, and using their techniques. They were running the hair salon game in NY for a good while. On the rare occasion I need a blow out, no one does it better than Milagros, my old stylist.

Dominicana are good at burning the curls out our heads and pulling it out when detangling is what they good at 😂
Side note: I’m Dominican ❤
@@oneidysilvestre2352 Yes, went from 5 till about 23. After 15 I went natural and I would go with my hair washed and detangled because they would comb my wet 3c hair from the root 😭😭 and I would only get rollers because they would burn me and my hair with the blower 🤦🏽♀️
"Muchacha pon la cabeza dura' all moms said that when they were doing your hair 😂
Your hair came out beautiful. But, the curls are soooo gorgeous. Curly hair is almost always dryer than straight hair. So u can use a leave in conditioner daily to moisturize and add shine. Both styles look great.
I don't know why they say Dominican's can't do hair!!!!
I'm black female with natural hair, who only goes to a Dominican salon. The same person has done my hair for the last seven years. My hair is longer and healthier than ever. Love my Dominican stylist.
Because alot of them will sneak relaxers into your hair
@@ms.saucey2135I came here to say that. They love sneaking that relaxer into BW hair
@@ms.saucey2135Only if you have 'pelo malo' 😕
@@charityonika7306the only “bad hair” is unhealthy hair.
@@charityonika7306 bad hair?! Real black strong hair isn’t bad hair?! And clearly you’re a texturist as well and very anti blk which is why a lot of us don’t fw with y’all lmaooo..you’re gonna put some harsh ass chemicals that can cause permanent damage and raise risk of cancer because you’re a sick anti blk texturist person who hates real black ppl hair?! Imagine thinking the original ppls hair type is what’s bad when you wouldn’t exist without us lmaooo the delusion lol
It's not that they can't do hair, it's the heat set to HELL on the dryer!🥵
Omgggg girllll i love it when they do my hair!! And they give you life advice! Gloria I miss you so much ugh!
I moved to Europe...
I went twice to one. Satisfied both times.
Girl! You better hope that “conditioner” she made at home didn’t have relaxer in it. That happened to me at a Dominican salon
The lady broke my hair off and hid it. I had to bald my hair off. I'm still waiting for my hair to grow back.

Do reconstruction treatments once a month . But be careful cause you don't want to over put protien your hair. Ok
@@sara.726how is that funny?
Cut your hair off?
one of the best and fastest haircuts I've ever gotten was at a Dominican salon in NYC and it was cheap
When I lived in Brooklyn, I saw a Dominican stylist frequently. Heck, when I lived in the DR for a summer, my friends mom did my hair every week. My hair was always healthy, soft and shiny. ❤❤❤
I'm a native New Yorker living in New Orleans now AND I MISS MY DOMINICANS SALONS SO MUCH...NOTHING LIKE THEM WHERE I AM NOW
You might need to learn how to do rolos on yourself. I’ve tried but it’s so hard 😫
Native Bostonian and also live in New Orleans now 😂 feel your pain
Somebody in this post said they live in Kenner Louisiana and it's Dominican stylist that do hair really good.
That secret deep conditioner is relaxer sis. 😂
It definitely is giving relaxer they use that to smooth the hair and tame it they not low
Nahhh my curls are still here and this video is about 3 months old.
Your hair is absolutely giving, Paulie!🔥
You look fabulous sister!!!
I only go to the Dominican hair salon... I have naturally long hair and they always make sure my hair looks great❤
I am pretty sure, Dominican hair salons offer roller set and flat iron service instead of blow dry!! Hair came out
