Speaking from experience with this particular stylist, she is definitely in it for the money. I went to her in July of last year after combing out my locs. After paying this lady $300 for a wash and go I left the salon with a shaped up fro. I ended up having to do my hair myself at home after being in her salon for 5 plus hours. Then when she saw that my hair wasn’t curling like she wanted she tried to upsale me with another service which was an additional $150. Literally the worst salon experience of my life!
I'm so sorry to hear that. 😢 Thank you for sharing your experience!
@@AfrikanHairGod yep, she was my stylist too, I had the same experience as far as her attempting to up charge me. I also got the vibe that she was money hungry because she would switch up her demeanor just like in this video i definitely didn’t get the vibe that she was a people person just a money grab.
Her hair doesn't even look well kept. Why would anyone purchase a course from her?
I'm just literally floored on why anybody, would pay almost $300 for an ONLINE COURSE when she did not even touch your hair?? That is just crazy! Then if you are crazy enough to go to her that will be another $300 nope NOT!!!! Yes I agree this is for those that may be and I hate to use the term, but desperate enough to buy her BS and think something is wrong with their hair when all you have to do is wash condition and set & style. Just WOW!!!
Definitely the money. I went to her when she came to NYC she upcharged me for an early appointment and ended up hours late. Still charged me and had an attitude with me the entire time. I don't even wanna say how much i spent but i never experienced an attitude like that. Never ever again
Really Omg... 😬 I'm so sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing your experience.
She is a great example of the predatory targeting that is happening to the natural hair community. That deep sigh was her mask coming off.
She did the math to get every dime out of everyone searching and desiring to learn how to do their hair.
It’s sad smh! She was a strong BGC pusher charging $700 and up! Now she has found a way to distance herself yet still charge ridiculous prices smh! Yes, I said ridiculous because it’s not based on the service or education but the profit she is trying to make.
I’m all for stylists charging their worth. However, these stylists who emulate bgc with their courses and hands on sessions charging $400 plus while damaging hair is giving big scam energy
Anyone associated with that brand is a huge 🚩at this point. They’re money grubbing scammers who don’t really care about their customers.
This situation is why people grew to distrust some of these hair stylist. It's scary how people can walk around with a mask hoping to take advantage of customers seeking hair care.
I feel like she's putting on a performance. The sigh at the end of the stream tells it all , and , callously calculating her potential revenue as if to say that her clients aren't "clients" at all........... as if to say that they represent nothing but dollas$$ and cents to her. For me, it's not what she said at the end, but it's what she "didn't " say that exposes her true intentions. Not once did she fix her lips to say how much that she "values" her clients. ✌🏾
The way her whole aura changed when she thought that live was over🫢🫢
Tbf my demeanor changes when I come out of work mode too.
Watch my live of a consultation with a former client of hers...
Wow number one rule when you’re on video or live is to make sure that the actual video is off before you start running your mouth.
I was going to book with her last year. After, looking at prices online I decided against it because they seemed to be heavily inflated. She just confirmed what I originally thought smh😒. She is not the only one either. I looked for other curl specialists and their prices for a wash n go style were anywhere from $375-450 for new clients. This usually didn’t even include a trim.
Wow that is wild!
That's a con
No way would I ever pay that for a style that is washing my hair and putting gel in it that might get 5-7 days wear.
Entrepreneurs who do hair are in it for money. I always make sure to ask people doing my hair what got them into hair. Based on that answer, I come back or go on to someone else
That's a good rule of thumb. I never considered that. Would you be more inclined to work with someone that has the passion for it but may be lacking in terms of styling proficiency?
Hairstylists should protect their business and always aim to be sustainable with their prices and unapologetically know their worth with how they charge, esp when they have put in the work and been integral throughout the process.
Unfortunately these BGC stylists and their affiliates have and are creating a mess in this space. They are charging excessive amounts for prototypes and trying to be on an equal playing field with stylists who have integrity. They've witnessed all the damage this mode of teaching has done and turned a blind-eye to it, encouraged stone-walling and even tried to go down the route of 'black women are difficult' whilst still demanding our money. Smh.
All of this
Her chat with you plus this oops video tell us all we need to know about her. What a scam.
Maybe I’m being naive and just hoping for the best but I do think that 2 things can be true at the same time. She could genuinely be eager to share her “knowledge” with others and feel good about the profit she will make in return. At the same time, if I was a consumer, I do believe I would be questioning her motives. I’m conflicted 😐
I think that is a fair assessment.
There's nothing left for them to teach. The only thing I need a hairstylist for is either to trim or cut depending on the need of my hair.
Wash n Go is the simplest of all hairstyles to do if one take time to understand one's hair and it's characteristics in conjunction with the products, environmental factors, texture and density.
I have mastered mine and it's extremely ridiculously to hear the amount these people charge for this hairstyle!
Wow, I’ll never spend another dime with her again. It was even mentioned in a group that im in that Angel isn’t a nice person in real life.
She’s definitely not a nice person, completely ruined my salon experience with no remorse
Definitely was not a nice person, I just always felt like she was being inauthentic
Money makes the world go around & I do believe people should be fairly compensated, especially if they offer more value/quality comparable to what others are offering. HOWEVER, just like there are genuine people, there are disingenuous as well. There are people that pander to certain audiences that are vulnerable & take advantage of that vulnerability by offering products & services meant to not improve them as much as it is to line their pockets. People want to make money in the laziest way possible & this seems to be the lay of the land stretching across multiple industries now.
Legit second question: when did natural hair appointments and relaxed hair appointments become the same price and sometimes natural hair costs more?
I am not surprised at all …
I wouldn't want to use her products or be taught anything by her. I need someone that is genuine on and off the camera and most importantly enjoys making sure people look great, because they know they will reap the benefits financially by word of mouth and great reviews. Green and Power will get you nowhere in life!
You see Diddy right now because of power and greed! 🤷🏽♀️
She's selling elevated what ? Pink Kanekalon unkempt braids?
Interesting I have run into a hair stylist who in some ways was like this lady. They wanted me to buy her products that I didn't want and where over priced. ( 13 bucks for 3 oz of hair grease) My sister caught her slipping when the stylist revealed she hated 4c hair ,natural hair and didn't think that it was good hair. All she cared about was how much money she could make in a short amount of time. with that being said I am happy the lady got caught. It let's people know to look else were.
BIG BIG YIKES
Omg how embarrassing lol 🤦🏾♀️
I was thinking the same . Did she realize that she didn’t end the live properly
And how long did it take for someone to tell her that she needed to delete it? Dang! So embarrassing 🙈
Whew. If people could only be authentic these days and have integrity. There’s nothing wrong with making money but all money isn’t good money. When your intentions are to exploit, overly capitalize, manipulate, deceive or any other low vibrational frequency/energy, you truly wont find peace/contentment/success. I actually watched a large portion of the live with this particular stylist and she doesn’t seem knowledgeable enough to be performing or charging these amounts for “curl experiences”. Now, I did hear her say on the live that she invests in continuing education but as a consumer, the math ain’t mathing. Her content doesn’t reflect that of a person who is knowledgeable of tight curl maintenance, styling and care. Too many people want to be “curl experts/specialist” but only cut and style hair one way. To me, you can’t just do wash and gos on specific textures and label yourself a curl expert/specialist. That’s like me saying that I’m a pants seamstress specialist but only have mastered one style of pants.
I’m STILL apologizing to my friend for recommending she go to her since she’s from the same state. We live outside the US and where we live either folks don’t know how to do natural hair and or they’re charging us inflated prices and STILL can’t do hair smh.
I went to her a many years ago and got crochet box braids. She did a fantastic job on the style. Everyone complimented me on the style and thought they were actual box braids because they were done so well. So I won't discredit her braiding abilities.
However, at the time I had been out of the hair game for a while (I was around during the days of nappturality) and was not a product junky. She tried to sell me some products and set me up with a hair regimen. She tried to convince me to buy some products from her because she "gets them shipped from Europe and they are costly." I declined because it felt to gimmicky. Months later I saw the products in the store and knew she was a scammer.. the products were Design Essentials. I never went back to her again and told my friend that she should stop going to too since she referred me to her. It's discouraging to have a stylist try to rip you off.
On a side note, I think we should always put our best foot forward. Stylist don't need to be overdressed, but the lowest of efforts from all humans would be nice, especially if they are providing a beauty-related service. She had green hair at the time (nothing wrong with that) and it was completely undone and all over the place. She looked a complete hot mess. Never trust a stylist whose hair looks dry and damaged and that doesn't carry themselves with some level of respect. Can't imagine getting a service form someone link that long-term.
She completed turned me off of natural stylist for a while. Shame. I didn't know she was "internet famous" until recently.
I don't generally knock anyone for how they choose to run their business.
I will say, however, that I don't like people with bad energy around me, let alone touching my hair. I get that some people don't mind that.
Even before I watched this video I have followed people who talked about this stylist's attitude, vibe and disrespect for her clients' time. I'd never, ever go to her salon.
If I was somebody that wanted her services or paid for what she offered I feel played & I would never spend any money with her again and I would tell anybody I could not spend money with her. Smdh there’s enough scammers out here to have to keep adding to the list
300$ for a VIRTUAL class always rubbed me the wrong way with her.. if your main goal is to help people out that dont know how to do their hair because of years of opression within our hair and hair community, why charge 1/3 of RENT money, knowing that many people cannot afford that… just sad to me wow
I can't believe no one else has asked yet, but you've got to let us know please where the rent is only around $900! Is it in the US, in the south? That sounds incredible!
@@lynnw4421 yes in the south of us sometimes it can be 900$ per month for apartments
@@lynnw4421 yes in the us in the south it can sometimes be around 900 and its not incredible at all, its just old apartments not even fancy or nice at all
Thank you for this info.
That's exactly why my ass is living at home with my family. Yeah I'm good on that 🏡
We all have to get paid. But not scheming to do it. I do have a question : what does something like what she's offering cost?
So thankful for this as she’s in my hometown (salon) and I’ve considered going there but decided against it.
@2:15 said ALL that one needs to know. OMG! 😮🤔 Thanks, Narada. ❤
😬 mmmm honey that was tacky 🫣 were it me that post would’ve come straight down…
From what I heard... It did
@@AfrikanHairGod
And I oop ☕️
Yo this is the second social media Black natural haircare stylust you have bought to my attention. I want to write an essay about the bad hair care experiences Ive been exposed to ftom before the pandemic😢
Thanks for the incite. Scamer season is out of control
This does more harm to the integrity of her work than anything. She was so passionate when explaining herself with henny now I see the motive behind her passion it’s sad but I think it’s just a hustle for her. I wouldn’t purchase anything from her.
☹️ Waw! Sad hearing that directly. Did she make her quota? Smh I sure hope this exposure initiates transparency and accountability. We need to have this conversation.
I mean if the know how much they paid they could do the math too. Maybe I’m the only person who does stuff like that. I have no problem with people supporting themselves. I’m sure Beyoncé’s hairstylist is getting PAID, but I definitely would want someone who is good at their job and high in demand to be the ones getting the most money
Yep. Popular curl influencer just graduated and started doing hair, brand spanking new professional, maybe a year of experience, she charges 500 dollars for a curly cut. Ha! Let the other suckers pay that. I'd rather cut my hair at home.
I can def see how ppl can think her mindset around the money aspect is icky, but i personally take it neutrally (probably because I don't buy her products/courses or genuinely follow her) It can seem like she's purely equating ppl to $ judging based off her statement.
Wow I can’t believe she showed that. I’m a stylist in the same area as her. So I know now not to refer anyone to her.
I would be really disheartened if I were a student taking her course. It’s fine to have financial goals for yourself but when you say “I don’t even need a lot of people to do this” that makes it clear that you’re not putting out content to help educate people in the craft, and to help better others/ newcomers in the industry as a whole which in my opinion should be the goal of putting out any sort of educational course or curriculum that others are spending their hard earned money on.
Oops.🙊 😅
I see a lot of hairstylists operating in "traditional" online marketing space with things like courses and such. I have worked in this space since 1997... have seen a lot... lot of new things, lot of things coming and going. I honestly think the big sigh was probably just because doing this type of live "webinar" can be a LOT... nerve wracking, managing the behind the scenes, creating content for a course, etc. It's a LOT. And she may have just been happy it was done and went well (I'm assuming it did bc I didn't see it). That's totally normal. Also in online marketing, the way she talked about the money is also normal. People set goals for how many seats they want to fill. She could very well just be excited about reaching her goal *and* still cares about her clients. Both can be true. Now... don't come for me internet folks (well it don't matter Lol). I usually don't comment on ANYthing bc the internet is wild. But in this case, I just have a different perspective based on online business experience, knowing who her coach is/was (a very good one)... it's just how it's done. Now all that being said... I don't like many aspects of traditional online marketing so I can see why hearing her may make some ppl feel some type of way. But this is such a small excerpt from what is sure to have been a way bigger, exciting, and exhausting "production" for her. Launching courses is WORK. A LOT of work. And we all know making money isn't bad... or else none of us would put up with what we do to work for it. Lol.
Yeah, I don't understand what the issue is. I'm not the same person and I don't have the same energy as I do when I'm in public or at work. I'm not grinning and bubbly 24/7 so I don't think that makes me a bad person. Nor does it make someone a bad person because the do math to make sure they can cover their expenses, plus have money toward savings and investing back into your business. Now if her work and customer service is bad, that's an issue.
Been following her a few years hoping to catch some real tips on how she achieves her results but she doesnt give away anything that one could really use.
Seeing this made me unfollow as she now sounds really scheming after her huge OOPS moment.
Everyone is in it for the money. I’m in healthcare and I love it, but it also pays me very well. I’m sure that has a lot to do with why I like it. We have bills out here 😂😂😂
Yeah that's exactly why the US haircare system needs reform now... We need to bring back the CARE in Healthcare and hair care
@@AfrikanHairGodAgreed. Of course everyone wants to make a living through their job, but that doesn’t negate the fact that beauty professionals still should be valuing that clients and other professionals want to spend their money with them for quality services and teaching. I am a nail tech myself, and I am all for people charging their own prices or whatever they want according to their expertise/experience , but the quality of your services and teaching needs to match that energy of the price. Period.
Making a living is not the same as being in it for the money. One has to do with dignity and respect, while the other fuels insincerity and poor quality of service. Thank you for this information. ❤
@@AfrikanHairGod oh please. I’m being honest. I chose my career because I wanted a certain standard of living. I went to school for a long time and I feel that I deserve to be compensated. I’m very good at what I do and I love the money too. There is nothing wrong with that. Two things can be true at the same time. I don’t care if my doctor or hair dresser is doing it for the money. I don’t think it’s a flex when people say they don’t care about money. In fact, I don’t really trust those type of people. We all do it for the money on some level. Thats not bad. I pay good money for my hair products and I don’t mind because they are good. We have choices in America. If you don’t like the hairdresser or healthcare provider then we are free to find another one.
@@Lovelyone1 I know you are being honest and you are validating my point. That's why you should continue to support people like her. Birds of a feather flock together.
Yes for a lot of stylist it’s definitely only about the money
LMAO 😂😂😂😂 Bet she'll be real quick to confirm the live is done DONE next time!! Not surprised by her comments. "If it don't make money it don't make sense"! Funny that she got popped tho. 😅
Good lord she may need to off the net for a little 🥴 she keeps going viral for the wrong reasons 😂
Yeah after she done tore up that TikTok ladys hair combing with a shampoo in it... now this 💀
@@Finetextureglow yeeeesss 😩
I'm not surprised. I love my daughter's hair braider. She charges reasonable fees for her work and she talks me through any and everything I have a question about without the additional fees. I talked to her about natural stylist charging $300+ to give curl definition to natural hair. My fro is about .25 inches long and I explained to her how I wanted to have curl definition but I could not bring myself to pay the fee because I did not understand what I would be paying for. I did not pay that much when I was getting my hair chemically treated!!! She told me to grab a couple of products from her table and try them on my hair. She talked me through how much to use and how to apply the products to my hair, I found the product needed and know the technique to use for my hair. It took less than 10mins of her time and she did not charge me. I do not mind paying for services rendered but...Can someone tell me why are stylists are charging so much for natural hair?
I think people don't factor in the other costs of running a business and the specific costs of running a salon. Rental spaces, supplies, web hosting, utilities, assistant, any other services like calendar/scheduling apps, then there's also living expenses for the stylist (rent, food, utilities, medical bills, insurance, car payment, gas for car, car maintenance, retirement, savings, etc). You aren't just paying for the stylist's time and service. You have to make sure you're charging enough to cover your living expenses. Sometimes you are only able to charge what your clients can afford, but it can be at the cost of your quality of life. Everything else (rent, food, bills) is going up except some people salaries.
What else would they be in it for😂 I wouldn’t take her class because she looks tacky TBH😐
Maybe to help people...maybe because it's something they are passionate about... Maybe because they want to contribute to the hair industry in a positive way? Then you wonder why y'all get overcharged for less service...
I feel like most hairstylists are like this, this is why I just do my own hair! I remember I wanted to get my hair dyed and because I went for a consultation in my work uniform, they thought that they could up charge me a ridiculous amount of money! It’s annoying though cause I would like someone to do my hair every now and then, and make sure my trims are even, but such as life!
Also, can you not add the captions to the videos? Just add the option to turn them on & off please? Your videos are interactive (which I like) and I can not process everything in the videos with the captions permanently on the screen. Giving the option, allows people to turn it on & off at will! Thank you!
whens your next q and a coming up?
It's in the last Wednesday of the month at 8:30pm EST. So this Wednesday on the 29th
@@AfrikanHairGod oh yay thank u
But… $297 multiplied by 30 ain’t $10,000. Is there additional money she gets for selling the products? Is it commission that then totals her $10,000?
I just saw the live from a month ago, I thought you guys were friends? What happened?
I don't like ppl being fake and playing in my face especially when they exploit and take advantage of people
Most likely she has taken the Black Girl Curls hair course and taken some tips from their price structure.
Yikes!!
Earnestly natural always had that rude atitude even when talking to her clients when shes at the chair with them😩.
😯
Chile the dominicans according to an acquaintance actually did hair and grew it down ya back and the kicker is aint charging a fraction of what all these new age stylists be charging...they in it for the money and its soo obvious with their over priced courses and razor sharp tapers 😂
Ain’t this the lady that you and Henny were on a live with and she was driving to some other state. Wasn’t she the one who barely answered the questions asked? All her responses were long winded and off topic?
😬😬😬
$300 is a lot of money, but if the service is worth it, who am i to judge. It's just that I have been looking at natural hair videos on RUclips since the beginning of the natural hair movement. I've also followed aĺl of the black hair care forums. What is this woman teaching , for $300 a pop , that you can't research on your own for free?
You should check out my video of my client sharing her personal experience with her as her client
@AfrikanHairGod I will do that. Thanks
LMAO.
Yall this was rage bait all day long. Why she keep looking into the camera after she ended to live tho 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Is she fba?
This doesnt seem malicious. Seems like she’s providing a service to those willing to pay and she set a personal goal. No scamming, no personality switch.
Lol maybe y'all should read some of her reviews on yelp and refer to some of the experience of people that have gone to her. There's definitely a switch up on the personality. Maybe you just aren't really good at reading people. I had to learn as well.
