I Did It!!!

First off, my consultation went great. I was quite impressed with my consultant Marvella, whom I'll call Marvelous Marvella. MM has been doing Sisterlocks for over 8 years, is a licensed cosmetologist, and doing hair is her full-time gig (mostly Sisterlocks). I was highly confident she could do the job and do it quite well. I poured through her before-and-after albums and asked all the questions I could think of. Thanks to all you ladies out there that blog and post pictures about Sisterlocks. The information was invaluable and alleviated any anxiety I had about getting locks. It really made the decision an easy choice.

By the time I left the consultation, I had three baby locks, my two-day appointment was scheduled, and I was invited back to her house later that afternoon for a spa party that many of her Sisterlock clients would be attending. I jumped at the opportunity to see her work first hand and get one-on-one feedback. While we tried on lotions and potions and sipped wine, the topic of Sisterlocks inevitably came up. Some had locks for 5 years, some for just a couple of months, some still contemplating. It was great to see all of the phases of sisterlocks and hear their stories. Earlier during my consulation, MM pointed out a picture of one lady as her 'problem head'. She may have been a 'problem head' then, but now...her locks were gorgeous. They fell just below her shoulders, looked very healthy, and well maintained. Overall, the spa party was a reaffirmation of what I already knew I wanted. I couldn't wait for the 25th! Everyone who had Sisterlocks said it was the best hair decision they ever made and I couldn't wait to feel the same.

As of February 25th, I joined the sisterlock family and MM did a fantastic job!! I feel really blessed to have found MM. She has more clients than she can handle and regularly refers potential new clients onto other consultants. I must've caught her on slow week because she didn't pass me on. Plus she lives in my community so it couldn't be more convenient.

You know the saying "life happens when you least expect it"? Yeah...that was me this past week. Life hit me with a hook, a jab, and a upper cut. I mean a triple WAPOW!! All while I was sitting in MM's chair. MM is a spunky, down to earth kind of person who says whats on her mind. I enjoyed her conversation and good advice too. I normally live a very quiet life, but for some reason life took a detour from the 'norm' during the 25 hours I sat with her putting over 700 locks in my kinky hair.

I always saw my decision to get locks as a new beginning and return to my natural self, but this is a new beginning in more ways than one. They say sisterlocks is more than a hairstyle, it's a lifestyle and I am ready for the journey.

Here are a few pics of me with flappy twists (the hair doo the waitress thought were Sisterlocks), my famed 'Babushka', and my new Sisterlocks.....Love, Peace, & Blessings!!!
