You Know It’s a Ghetto Salon…When… (courtesy of DebraDickerson.com)
1. All the stylist wear house slippers
2. Four people are booked for the
same 1:00 appt.
3. Your stylist calls You at her salon
talkin’ ’bout, “I overslept but
I’m on my way.”
4. The Asian man from the carryout
comes to personally take food
orders
5. Revolving-door hustlers peddle
everything from Gucci shades
to Coach bags
6. Your stylist has to finish her wing
dinner before she can start your
hair
7. Your ears are ringing because Back
Dat Thang UP is blaring on the
radio & she’s singing along
8. A playpen, portable crib or stroller,
complete w/child — is a
permanent fixture
9. Conditioner is extra
10. You want your real hair styled &
no one knows how
11. There’s a permanent Out of Order sign on the bathroom door
12. You can’t see your finished hairdo
because the stylist has plastered
all the mirrors with pictures of
herself & friends —
mostly wearing something
scandulous
13. There’s a receptionist station
— but no receptionist
One thought on “You Know It’s a Ghetto Salon…When…”
I unfortunately have dealt with EACH of the enumerated points above with regards to black hair salons! The situation does not seem to be getting better, as new salons spring up, old pitiful habits continue to be the order of the day for many of these ‘not-yet-ready-for-prime-time’ entrepreneurs!
