Dominican Salons in the TDot and Montreal

Dominican Hair SalonThe weather has offically started to change here in Toronto and that means I’m starting to change up my hair routine .  For the last couple of weeks I have been flat ironing (gasp) I know, the heat is not good, but I do use a Kerastase Heat Prtoectant when ironing.   I do plan on perfecting my roller set.  I had tried a couple of times on some cool days this summer and I practically ended up in tears.  I am committed though and know that I need to perfect the set and try to get that Dominican Hair experience in the comfort of my own home.  If you haven’t had a dominican lady set and blow out you hair – you are definitely missing something.

Anyhow, this list is so long over due-  here’s a list of  possible Dominican hair spots in Canada – hopefully they are still in business and all in fact do wash, set and blow out.  Probably best to call first…

Dominican Blow Out

w6k8s4r38oDominican’s are SERIOUS when it comes to hair.  If you have never been to a Dominican hair salon and have kinky, curly, wavy or even relaxed hair – they are a MUST!  Seriously, if you want to fall in love with your hair all over again – experience a Dominican Blow Out and exactly that will happen.  Unfortunately, there aren’t a many Dominican hair spots here in Toronto (my fave is Martha’s Beauty Centre on Jane near Finch) however if you are in Montreal there are several to choose from (I’ll post locations in a separate post).  But if you hit up the NYC or other states south of border you are bound to buck up on a DR hair place.

WHY THEY ARE GOOD?

If you want super straight, super silky, super soft, full-bodied flowing hair – the Dominican blowout is for you.  Even if you hair is curly, frizzy, coarse or kinky they know how to tame your locks.

THEIR SECRET?

Weekly deep conditioning treatments, rollers, a hot blow dryer and a round brush.

MAKE IT LAST!

Before you leave, make sure they teach you how to do a doobie.  At night wrap your hair with silk scarf or sleep on silk pillowcases.  The style should last you a week, if not more.

DO- IT-YOURSELF

A NY hairstylist by the name of Nina Ramirez even came up with a website dedicated to teaching do-it-yourselfers
