Sisters, Titi and Miko, at their salon in Brooklyn
Miss Jessie's product line, from left to right, Curly Pudding, Curly Buttercreme, Curly Meringue and Baby ButtercremeThe quest for the perfect hair salon is endless. I no longer visit cousin Pookie's hair shop where they can fix me up on the cheap, but I have to be prepared to go there ASAP, only to arrive and find myself waiting for five hours as stylists chatter and saunter past me like it's friggin' Mardi Gras! Now don't get me wrong, I like to support my people, but sometimes you just want to be pampered in a place where you're confident they know exactly what they're doing to your hair! Rejoice! Miss Jessie's Salon (formerly known as Curve Salon) is such a place! Founded in 1997 by sisters Titi and Miko, the salon specializes in curly, kinky and wavy hair.
Born to a Japanese mother and African American father, the sisters recognized the demand for curly hair care specialists since they had grown up struggling to understand and style their own hair. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Miss Jessie's Salon also boasts a product range (also available online), but be forewarned their prices are not cheap!
Their stylists cater to all races so call the number below if you're interested in a consultation or visit their site @ www.missjessies.com for before and after hair pictures.
