DO YOUR OWN S**T

I keep seeing all these videos of black women getting bad costumer services at these establishments. I keep telling ya learn how to do your own hair, nails, makeup, just about everything .It saves you money and you dont have to deal with disrespect. I know how to do my own lashes nails/toes , sews in bundles, k-tips ( i learned from you_tube university or if you can't do it your self = GO TO A BLACK OWN SALON. We're all adults stop repeating cycles.

... Read moreTaking control of your beauty routine is incredibly empowering and can save you a lot of frustration and expense. From personal experience, learning to do my own lashes, nails, toes, and sew-in bundles has made a huge difference in how I feel and manage my time and budget. Online platforms, especially YouTube, provide countless tutorials that make it easy to acquire new skills at your own pace and comfort level. This approach allows you to avoid disrespectful treatment that can sometimes happen in salons and creates a sense of self-reliance. However, it’s important to recognize when professional help is beneficial and to support black-owned salons whenever possible, as they often offer services with quality care and understanding of cultural beauty standards. By balancing DIY skills and professional services, you not only break harmful cycles but also contribute to economic empowerment within the community. Staying consistent and patient as you practice your beauty skills will help build confidence and encourage others to embrace their independence in self-care as well.
