Marissa Staples, Writer
The Voice of Black Cincinnati
I’m looking for a African American stylist that does natural hair in the 45238 zip code
So am I!
Thanks, need some that can do a sharp cut.
Thank you Marissa for this informative article! I stumbled across it while searching for Black hair stylist in Cincinnati. Your breakdown of protective style options are on point for many that find themselves struggling with maintaining hair styles during their work out schedules. With this information I can eliminate the doubt I experience with selecting a style when sitting in the stylist chair. I would love to try Bantu knots, and have no idea of what Havana twist looks like.
